My Reaper SV should be comparable. It is a bit more resilient with more storage, but is slightly behind when it comes to flying performance.

Ever since I used the Icarus I just can't find another ship that does what this does. I even tried to design something myself and it ... comes out like.. Icarus... ugh haha good job. Do you have any other creations that surpass this as a tovera basher or drone matrix dasher?

Very impressive firepower and agility. Did not know it was possible for a ship of this size. It's cool looking and fits my hangar ! Plus, I like the separate cargo storage for the loot. Excellent work ! Thanks Ente :-)

Not quite, the intention for the ghost is more to serve as a ground bomber that should also be able to support POI running. It therefore has more cargo and support stuff (medstation/constructor), but also pays for it with having less agility.

The Icarus on the other hand is a full blown dogfighter. Charge in close, take cover within your targets blind spots, sweep out to hurl torpedos at their core position. The higher CPU usage mostly comes from the weapon setup, especially the Modulated Pulse lasers, but it also starts at a full layout whilst the Ghost is stripped down but upgradeable.

Huh. I had sort of figured the Ghost was your successor for the Icarus MK I.

It looks like you've moved this a little further along the progression line and made it more specialized though. Is the thought to use this solo for gravimetric anomalies and patrol vessels, or is it more intended for wolfpack style tactics in multiplayer?
