Primary roles: Light Fighter, Storage, Survival, Warp, Alpha 12
Update 6/24/2020 – Ship updated to A12. All RCS were removed, 2 CPU Tier 3 blocks added. No other changes were made and the stat screen shots have been updated to reflect the changes (Sorry, now they have actually :).
The Merc-AME is a light survival fighter designed to work with current alpha 9 requirements. It has an additional feature to allow collecting of ore from auto miners as easy as possible. The front of the ship is designed to center around the auto miner and pilot can get out standing on a safe platform from potential hostile creatures and scoop the ore. Of course the area could be altered to increase protection or weapons if needed. However this is a full functional survival ship and can be used as such. The ship is at 7500 CPU use and designed for alpha 9 current specs.
