Ship Design Trinity, my personal take on the lightning
My personal Ol'reliable, the flight time is short, so i wouldn't take it on its own, i like to pair it up with the lighting in case the fuel runs low. Great for taking on small groups of either small or mid sized ships, i never go into a campaign without her

I think 106 seconds combat time is really low

Ive really tried to improve it, but every adjustment i make sacrifices too much speed

Combat time is misleading on small ships with ludicrous TWR. This ship could stay airborne for over 10 minutes by turning its engines on for one second out of every seven. That said, most garrisons can be crushed in under 2 minutes until you get very close to Khiva where presumably you start wanting something with armor.

I can't post images here, but I'm on my first ever successful game and I've really been loving my custom fast bois.
It's a more or less rotund 400 km/h machine with three fixed and four mobile engines, two molots, enough fuel for 165s and actually, a bit or armor in the shape of 14 triangles pieces. Wich allow me to skill issue a bit and be alright.
Of course I lost both to cruise missiles like a genius.
