This is the MK2 Update of my older Chimaera:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2618299085

The Chimaera MK2 is a high mobility shield based destroyer. If your shield is gone, you are dead. If only one Shield extender goes, the whole ship will chain and gut itself. So play it safe and always remember to recharge shields timely.
The ship is mostly unarmored with a steel hull and some xeno blocks in front of the fusion core.

As fighting goes, charge into close range while doing some dodging and burn down your opponents shields. You need to be closer than 500m for the Gamma Laser Turrets to start firing. If possible try to exploit weaknesses in enemy firing arcs (e.g. attack Toveras from the side, directly at the tip of the "arms").
Once shields are down reduce enemy turrets enough that you can somewhat safely aim for the core. If your shields go low, run back out of firing range. While charging shields yoiu can use the long range cruise and railguns to get occasional shots at your opponent, to keep his shield down, while staying out of their close range weapons.

Shield upgrades are somewhat optional. They will add a lot of shield and shield recharge, but also slow you down quite a bit due to their weight.

2x Adv. Generator
1x Shield Capacitor Array
1x Shield Charger Array
4x Additional cannons

Thanks for the kind words, Khaasarax! :)

The perfect ship for me. The balance of beauty, functionality and firepower is impeccable.
I have already lost hope of making or finding something even better in the workshop. I have been flying on this ship for more than a month now.
Thank you very much for your work and talent.

@Vectrasor: Glad you like them! :)
@Diamond Dan: Need to change the weapon layout against drones. Use EMP Cruise Missiles and Heavy Laser Turrets. Rails and cruise missiles for killing generators. Stay at long range and evade the emp fire from them. Then it should work fine.

how does this ship do against drones?

I'm still a big fan of your designs, Ente.

Thanks Kirgatherer! The medium ones are all already in there. There are 4 in the central Shield room and 4 additional ones that are mostly buried in the walls behind them. You can see a bit of them from the shield array room if you look at the cuts in the side walls.

Amazing work. The only thing I can't find is the place for 4 shield medium charges. I suppose there should be a place for them on a lower deck, but there are only 4 slots for medium stuff (4 capacitors OR charges). Thanks anyway
