Test flight of new ship project, code name Whsper, was a success.
It's an experimental ship, equipped with light shielding and no armor, but what it lacks in physical defense it makes up for with a sophisticated AI jamming system. The ship is built to run a jamming computer permanently which makes it invisible to radar and completely untargetable by AI controlled weapons like drones and turrets. For example, here's an image of me floating over the main base of the enemy faction DFN and none of the base turrets even notice me.
We ended up raiding the DFN, blowing up a bunch of stuff and killing the DFN who were there a bunch of times. There was a major problem however; apparently when the server lags it will occasionally turn off the jamming computer and blow the ship's cover. Unfortuntely for our intrepid pilot Tovarishch, this happened and his poor ship ended up like this. ):
Luckily the ship was destroyed by a civilian before it could be captured, but it reveals an interesting problem. Change will be made to the blueprint to account for server lag. Overall it was a profitable raid with 4 of the ships involved; we destroyed 6 or 7 DFN vessels and scored 9 kills. Three of those kills were from Tovarishch's ship after it was shot down, as the AI turrets were still active and firing on the DFN. ^^
