Aqua Stingray [8-slot] fast and agile

High-tech reconnaissance-combat ship for comfortable and dynamic gameplay in the middle of the game at the tranium stage (8-slots), without long turns and tedious braking. It has high maneuverability for its level. The ship is perfectly arranged: all heavy blocks are located near the center of mass, while light blocks are located at the edges so as not to reduce maneuverability. Hull blocks were not used, because with almost the same mass they have 3 times less strength

All ship systems are placed using a secret quantum technology that increases the usable space inside the ship by 6 times. Therefore, the ship has small dimensions compared to other 15-slot ships (see the last screen). Therefore, you get hit less often and moving around asteroid fields is much easier, as well as docking with stations. The ship does not use generators to save processing power, instead installing ultra-thin solar panels

The ship also has huge indicators of speed and maneuverability:
Acceleration: 130 m/s
Braking: 202 m/s
Maneuverability: 1.43/1.82/2.16
This allows you to quickly get out alive from any dangerous situation.

The amount of energy produced exceeds the required amount of energy by 2 times, which gives a large supply of energy during acceleration. There are enough hangars to accommodate 6 squadrons of small fighters.
As the size of the ship decreases, its maneuverability becomes even higher, so this blueprint can be used in all technology sectors, starting with Naonite, where a shield is important. The only drawback of the ship: it does not have production units and academies. It is better to create them at stations. There are not many cargo compartments either, this is not a cargo ship. You can easily attach huge blocks of cargo compartments to the bottom of the ship, and the ship will hardly lose maneuverability.

It is recommended to install the mod "Carbon Armor Textures":
With it, any ship reinforced with armor blocks looks better.
