Sithrak Ships

Sithrak ships have crappy weapon arcs. Xiati ships have all-forward and all-rear weapon arcs. I think the Xiati BB has like 7 forward guns and 5 heavies that are aimed at you. It's mean.

And they use Emissive Armor now. I am running up against Xiati battleships with all emissive armor, and it's cumulative! Argh... you can pound and pound on them and it only does incremental damage. Very nasty opponents.

By "now" you mean with the latest patch?

Yeah, I don't recall seeing them use Emissive Armor much before. Maybe it was a bug in the AI ship design process rather than a change to the data files?

Still looks like the Meson cannon is the best weapon in the game. Good job its relatively low damage and low range, as its damage/weight/recharge rate isn't matched by anything else - even those wonderful Tachyon cannons.
Why anyone would fit Graviton Launchers, Gapital Missiles, or any other form of torpedos rather than plasma missiles I'll never understand.

Toxic Injectors. Kill anything. Put 2 on your ship, get something to distract the point defence, and everyhing dies. Destroyers die on 2 impacts. Cruisers take 4. Battleships die in 6.

Personally, I think Toxic Injectors are unbalancing. There is no defence against them that works well.

I've run into my own TI missiles. And killed off half my crew. Ouch. (Ship was faster than the missiles...)

I put toxin resistance in to the medical bay and the lifesupport components for the P&N-ism mod.

Is it possibly to mod the game so I can buy one of the Sithrak ships?If so how?
