Take the reactor from a Chmmr Avatar and install it on an Utwig Jugger. Basically unlimited shields Cool

Have the Chmmr and Utwig combine their technology?

No, have the Thraddash combine the Chmmr and Utwig tech. The battery still won't regenerate, but the cataclysmic explosions will make the Jugger go REALLY REALLY FAST.

Or, you can just take a Yehat ship, make its shields free, make its gun free, make its gun inflict 8001 damage, give it 5000 crew, give the gun infinite life, and give the gun just enough speed so that it will be as fast as possible without having any collision issues. OK, it would cause a hell of a lot of lag and not fun to play with or against, but it would be virtually invincible.

Why don't all races have point defense lasers?

The ultimate ship? What more than the Flagship could you possibly need?

Well, full-powered Sa-Matra should be more powerful, but yeah, battle modified Mark I is all you'll need against absolutely any battlegroup.

Pkunk Engine + Chmmr Battery + Utwig Shield + Flagship Hellbore and Auto target system + Earth Point Defense System = Fast, Impossible to hurt, Enough firepower and range to eat any ship before they get close, Close range defenses to deal with fighters and ranged weapons.

I call this ship, "God's Middle finger". The Sa-Matra is for Sissies by comparison Smiley

The Sa-Matra is never powered up in-game.

The Sa-Matra can supposedly torch you from the other side of a star system. That range will tear you apart before your close enough to open fire.

Unless the Utwig shield absorbs all of the hits

I know the Utwig shield can absorb enemy fire, but I think there must be a limit to how much firepower it can take. The Sa-Matra can wipe out entire races, including the Utwig, which kind of makes their shield pointless. Let's face it; they may as well have been throwing bricks at it.
