The Ballantide
The Ballantide is an upgradable Core7 Battleship made for REFORGED EDEN 2.
The Ballantide is a marriage of Core7 Efficiency, and Late-game Upgradeability. Built to be brought in without the need for Quantum or Auxillary parts, the Ballantide can be outfitted for Xeno-only requirements, or be outfitted as a full-core Core14 w/ 6 Heavy manuals, 17 turrets, 4 Large shield extenders + more.
The ship is a novel design, w/ side by side Large shield extenders to maximize useable space while saving as much forward-section as possible for long, strong Xeno Decoy lines. This ship is more than a match for Legacy battleships, including the eradicator. w/ 6 Decoy lines each with 7-10 Layers of frontal Xeno, The Ballantide shrugs off disruptor fire and keeps the enemies attention where it belongs, off your weapons, and on your armor.
The Ballantide is an exceedingly slimline ship, Lean side to side, and top to bottom, it is exceptional both in Shield-heft, and it’s ability to hide in an enemies blind-spot. I have neverr built anything that holds this much capacity inside of this small a footprint, it is truly an exceptional example of efficient use of space and able combat-design.
This ship is a recommended upgrade from The Shippo, it has all of that ships talents, w/ Heavier weapons, more tanking ability, and WAY more upgradeability.
The Ballantide can be down-graded by trading ouut its Heavy manuals for Light ones, and its Large shield extenders for medium ones, resulting in a No-kit, no special parts variant that requires only Xeno Material. I am very proud to release this ship, It’s a design I believe in and I hope it serves you all very well.
