NOT INTENDED TO RESEMBLE THE HATE SYMBOL, I'm a dumbas

(In hindsight, should have mirrored it.)

I didn't actually set out on making the lightning shape from the start, I was just making optimized variants of the 6 engine 2 ammo ship, didn't notice the resemblance to lightning bolts until after finishing it. I think it's cool how it also has 2 orientations in which it resembles lightning bolts.

Best way I found of sharing this design, sorry.

Did not intend on making this so... weird.. originally

It's said that when she approaches a city, the townsfolk can smell the reek of Oil before she's visible, thus nicknamed "Black Wind".

The industrial facilities continue being desperately developed as the needs of the war run rampant, the pipes expand like tumors, ruining an otherwise fine looking ship.

Even some friendly cities refuse to let her land as it is a bad omen, lest the blood of the earth turn into the blood of the people...

After going through dozens of different variants, this is the most optimized and elegant <13k ship I could make, and It also happens to be point-symmetrical and somewhat aesthetically pleasing compared to that last dumpster fire I uploaded.

There are some mild variations that could be done on this concept, like exposing the engines in exchange for the fuel or sacrificing connection ponts in exchange for hiding the fuel, etc. but I think this brings the best balance overall.

One of my favourite features is that the fuel is placed in 2 1x1 instead of 1 1x2 which can occassionally be a get out of jail free card for fuel fires due to the fuel "ejecting" easier.

I'll be attempting a >10 difficulty skirmish with this ship, really proud of it :)
