Description
ACI Maelstrom Class Destroyer, produced by Ares Combat Industries

On first glance you might think the Maelstrom is just another ordinary destroyer, but that’s where it proves you wrong. This ACI Destroyer packs quite a punch and just like the Whiplash Heavy Cruiser the Maelstrom Destroyer also features guided missiles. However, ACI felt the need to stick missiles into the Maelstrom that packed a bit more punch. Therefore, ACI came up with the Marauder Guided Missile. In conjunction with the Marauder Guided Missiles the Maelstrom has also been fitted with Planetary Bombardment System. This means that the Maelstrom Destroyer can be used to bombard cities, military installations and other planetary targets. If you were to see one or more of these Destroyers above your planet don’t expect them to greet you in a friendly way.

The Maelstrom Destroyer’s main purpose is planetary bombardment and it is effective at its job. The warship does have enough firepower to fly around without any escorts and also is capable of long range attacks with its guided missiles.

IMPORTANT: Don’t conduct any erratic movement while firing the missiles or using the bombardment system! I also advise you to use the bombs in the gravity-well of a planet or moon.

That unfortunate moment when the ship you are using as reference for your destroyer is 2 generations out of date... ;)

The colors look alright, the only noticeable difference is that the blocks are somewhat darker now.

Your words mean a lot to me thank you! Just one question: are the colors of my newer ships alright in the new textures? I am reall having mixed feelings about them... Your feedback would be great!

What a shame, now I need another way of blasting those space pirates into oblibvion ;p
On a more positive note, I love your ACI ship series, and the Maelstrom is the best of the bunch for me. Good job.

@Cthulhu Unfortunately a recent update broke all guided missiles maming them unusable at the moment.

Hey, for some reason the guided missiles won't eject out of the ship after they're built and when the missile laubnch program is activated. The merge blocks are permanently locked. Is it a bug or am I missing something?
