1K Joust fighter with staggered rail charge, packs high alpha strike potential into a light fighter. The Mk2 Xothian is the progenitor to the 4 railgun Cthulhu used in the 3v3 tournament, using a staggered rail charge system to pack double the rails for its gen set up, 1k weight was the goal so that the ship qualified for Kais 3v3 tournament. Estir is the 3k tournament variant, with materials min-maxed for the weight limit of 1000 tons, 143ms at 60 fps, this is provided for any future tournaments that Kai hosts. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Xothian-Mk2 //Specs// 2 railguns with a staggered charge system. Shoot_1+ and Shoot_2+ are your triggers, bind these to your weapon hotkey (space by default). Sensitivity settings are adjustable from a yolo chip located in front of the pilot seat, this chip only adjusts your sense settings and is not vital to the operation of the aim system, you can use the U-tool save feature to save your sense settings to the ship post print. CenterSensePlus and CenterSenseMinus is your standard sensitivity, Adjust both to your preferred flying sensitivity. AimMax- and AimMin- is your Aim hotkey, Bind both to the same keybind, this will lower your sensitivity, Adjust MinSensePlus and MinSenseMinus to change Aim sensitivity. AimMax+ and AimMin+ is your Boost hotkey, Bind both to the same hotkey, this will raise your sensitivity, Adjust MaxSensePlus and MaxSenseMinus to change Boost sensitivity. Ship is set to both fly and aim at a smooth sensitivity (tune to your taste), Aim keybind lowers the limits for sniping, Boost keybind removes these limits allowing for faster pitch/yaw. Armoured using known methods of meta plating, including big plate health, voxel armour, segmented and layered plating and plasma/rail sacrifice plates. Materials and components are on the high end, i leave it to the user to reduces cost to your tastes. 1035656.25 kg in weight, 142ms at 60fps. 1 small prop tanks for 1 million prop, 30 mins estimated flight time. 2 T3 fuel chamber, 6 T3 generators, 4 T3 enhancers 1 hour 20 mins estimated fight time. Uses premium FCU, no reverse, Roll_L and Roll_R are your keybinds for roll. Entry is through the back, there is a small gap above the thrusters.

Also useful for odd jobs around the base. All T1 bar the FCU, making this little tool affordable for all levels. It is best used along with a larger surface miner, the Wamp is used to clear any remaining ore left by the larger miner. The pilot simply connects to the larger ships storage and collects the remaining ore with there mining backpack, the pilot can offload the ore to the station. Can also be used as a disposable outside SZ, however i would recommend using a dedicated ship for crater mining.

This does not help the new combat pilot/designer when starting out, but only those with skill issues ignore the value of micro fighters. The first advantage is low cost, this ship can be swarm built by players starting out or by experienced players/corps. This is important for lowering the risk of PvP, allowing even the newest of pilots to get flight time in combat. The second advantage is tempo, micro swarms are constant, hard to hit, and a waste of time to focus fire, giving new pilots breathing room is large battles. When used to supplement larger fighters, these micro's act as a reserve fleet for downed pilots of bigger ships, keeping the tempo of the fight in your favour. The third advantage is dogfights in gravity, the larger the ship, the harder it is to orbit fight without loosing altitude. When fighting larger ships, they will have to pitch/yaw or apply strafe thrust to manage grav, where as you wont need to nearly as much, flying low to the ground will allow you to force this, causing the larger ship to break off to manage altitude, the perfect chance for you to score free hits. It is also better to engage endos is smaller ships, as there is little risk of boarding, and large ships have better things to shoot at.

It takes heavy inspiration from Pandora's Box, and there dangerous 4/8/12 gun fighter line-up, which has shown to be a fantastic ship setup. Almost all of the frontal armour is char, making this an aggressive front line brawler. While this ship is a a orbit dogfighter, it is small enough to be used in gravity, making it perfect for escorting VIP's. Like all my ships, care has been taken to ensure the silhouette is as symmetrical as possible, so as to reduce skilled pilots ability to isolate weakpoints (Like the cockpit) Its also recommended to adjust your angle of attack when orbiting, to spread damage across different plates, reducing the chance of a busted plate or a pen shot. This can be done by rolling the ship, or by turning opposite to the orbit and transitioning into a joust. 4 guns are a minimum for dealing with competent meta fighters. Best employed as a moon gate escort ship, a station/cap ship defence fighter, or as an intro meta fighter for newer combat pilots taking a more leading role in frontline dogfighting. It is also the middle ground of weapons value, autocannon, laser and plasma versions have near continuous firing guns, making all 3 excellent investments.

It is also the edge of affordability, past the 8 gun size, it holds less value to go cheap, as the cost of a large ship warrant a increase of higher tier components and late game weapons. The 8 gun is the default fleet ship in small to large battles, large enough that any size ship must respect its damage, but being deadly to anything smaller. It is paramount that you adopt a more aggressive combat style for larger ships, you are packing heat, your job is to hit the most vital targets on the field, and kill them. Evasion is way less important in a ship of size, reserved only for collisions and the largest of ships targeting you. Focus fire between two 8 gun ships is devastating, it very quickly begins to add up, well executed focus fire can bring down even the biggest of ships (like VIR's Borg Cube) My combat experience has shown me that running fighters in at least pairs is incredibly effective, focus firing on two ships that match is tricky, and can increase the survival rate of ships in fleet fights. The Yith is made for this, it has cheap autogun versions that can be built on mass, and more expensive versions will look exactly the same as the cheap, they wont be able to focus the plasma until its too late. Engage targets in a sideways orbit, this keeps your thickest voxel armour facing your target, and presents the slimmest dimensions to aim at.

The latest version of OSA's 8 gun fighter, remade into a 1k light fighter. The Mk4 Yith is the next iteration of my main fighter, remade from the ground up to be in a lower weight class of ship, while still retaining the same firepower, 1k weight was the goal so that the ship qualified for Kais 3v3 tournament.

You have unimpeded FOV to fire handheld weapons from the pilot seat, making this a perfect disposible to travel to infantry fights. Defensively this ship allows scouting of dangerous situations, and can be used to travel to key locations without being followed yourself. Did i mention this ship is cheaper than dirt, new player friendly, almost all T1, making it great for emergency ship recovery (just ditch it, it costs nothing).

How hard is it to build a 1000+ crate miner like the Gido? Turns out pretty hard. This is the result, a personal made miner for my tastes, refining away what i did not need within the Elysium belt while adding some features i needed (or just wanted). This ship has little autonomy, this means no CAS, no auto approach, no isan. I am a manual flyer, preferring to navigate the shorter distances around Arma without CAS, and i despise auto approach. It is also lighter on both prop and fuel than the Gido, this is due to me preferring to do my hauling with dedicated haulers, and leave my miner at stations/cap ships. Where it excels is speed and carrying capacity. 1040 crates leaves more room for chunkers (the Gido would often come short on my last T10, unacceptable) 145 max speed dry, with angled thruster pods to help keep this beast on the straight and narrow, has surprising agility. This ship is a brute, a massive box surrounded by thrusters, perfect for those who want to manual fly around stations and cap ships without distraction. A huge thank you to Happytrigger for his free mods, and allowing me to borrow from his Pangasius Bp, this ship would not be without him. (SB link https://sb-creators.org/makers/Happy%20Ship%20Shop) A huge thank you to Zehtuka for allowing me to use the M1K cockpit + turret cradles, this ship started as a mod to the M1K, before starting from scratch.

The Nyarlathotep Mk1 is cheaper in almost every mat used in construction, making it an easier purchase and a less costly loss if pirated. It is recommended by myself to keep miners in the Elysium belt, and avoid doing the gate run with them, instead using a hauler to avoid the loss of you money earner. With the introduction of hanger halls, setting up a dedicated fleet for a moon mining station is easier than ever, and opens the door to acquiring the mats to make a cap ship yourself. Both hauler and miner still hold there value as cap ship companions. This ship still costs rare mats, but is noticeably cheaper than most plasma haulers, which can be an expensive investment. If doing the gate run, it is recommended to only go solo when empty, and have your full speed to avoid most pirates, but ultimately your awareness is the key difference in making it past a choke point. Unless followed from your location in the belt, returning fully loaded is perfectly safe bar pilot error in gravity, allowing you to make way more than you risk loosing after a one or two runs. Ship could be modified to be even cheaper, but i personally value the weight loss and faster gen ramp up T3 gens provide.

A cheap well armoured tripod ship, built to provide close air support to infantry, is a cheaper PvP option than most fighters. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Shantak-Mk1 //Specs// Turret turntable for a tripod gun of choice, can be rotated 90 degrees left or right, buttons can be used using Tab + Mouse cursor while on the turret.

Attacking the ground in a typical meta fighter is far from ideal, where as a tripod ship can get closer and deploy fire on infantry. These ships often double as scouts and troop transport. The intent with this ship is to perform a constant pylon turn around the target area, while the gunner shoots to the side at infantry. Done right, the ship is never stationary for an easy hit with explosives, and the gunner is afforded a clear sight on the ground and horizon at all times. During live testing at the loot events, not one was shot down by infantry, and only a few were lost to fighters. When engaged by a fighter, you are at a disadvantage. To engage, perform a pylon turn as usual, keeping your speed as high as possible while your gunner fires.

A experimental 6 gun stealth ship, made to target slow vulnerable civilian ships like surface miners, comes in autocannon and laser variants. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Night-Gaunt-Mk1 //Specs// 6 mounted weapons with a staggered fire trigger system.

The frame was reworked into the largest amount of guns i could keep above 140 ms, without trails. Most if not all miners, haulers and any other civilian ship are unarmoured, 6 guns will make quick work of them. Most dont go max speed either, so you are not missing many targets of value. Where i believe this ship will do best is hunting surface miners, as most are slow, and are practically stationary when mining. Endos should be easy to kill with 6 guns, but remember that they can kill you too. The unarmoued hull means you are relying on gank tactics, the element of surprise is your main advantage. Dodfights should be avoided, even a tripod skiff can crit you. There is no shame in running away from a fight in this ship, you have already left honour at the door when you pilot it. I believe the hull of this ship is ripe for modification, different weapons, higher tier components, even armour and regular thrusters to convert over to the original goal.

Plowing through incoming fire at a slow but steady pace. 12 gun are practical constant firing, making you a floating turret able to demo or damage any ship that comes in range. The armour is over abundant and in almost all directions, the rear also has a large plate firewall. Has the capacity to pose a threat to the largest of ships if not removed from the field. Best used in defensive situations, where the ship is close for repair and resupply. This ship is not ideal in gravity, due to its high weight and no side thrusters, is primarily made for zero g fighting. Possible good center piece for a fleet op with smaller fighters in support.

A cheap stealth salvage ship, uses maneuver and shrouded triangle thrusters to carry 4 crates and a flat bed for salvage. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Tiisin-Mk1 //Specs// 148 m/s max speed dry, wet speed will vary.

The Tiisin has become my go to salvage ship when searching the graveyard, checking event locations or looting small amounts of salvage and/or ore. The shrouded thrusters are not perfect, and leave a less viable trail when at full speed, this trail becomes completely covered at low speeds. Going belly down and creeping slowly has proven to be good for slipping by most people you run into. It is also tough, once taking a full speed collision with the ground from over 1000m high, loosing only one prop tank.

Latest Migo redesigned to be a true micro fighter, under 400 tons and made of accessible Eos mats. This new model of the Migo has returned to its roots, using 2 copies of the largest plate, then form fitting the ships internals into these plates for a compact, high HP micro fighter. It is also overgunned with 4 autos to give it a chance of delivering a fatal hit, and to overpower other ultra light fighters. Micro fighters generally can not circle fight with the majority of ships, so the Mk5 utilises a more jousty, evasive strategy to make use of the ships high speed and small size. Perfect ship for infantry bombardment, swarm tactics and a intro ship for pilots starting out. Included is a experimental missile variant, armed with 20 missiles tuned to be as safe to fire as i can, use at your own risk ;) //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Migo-Mk5 //Specs// 4 mounted weapons with a staggered fire trigger system. Shoot_1+ and Shoot_2+ are your triggers, bind these to your weapon hotkey (space by default).

Rapidfire button switches between staggered fire (gun 2 will stagger behind gun 1 creating a machine gun effect) and alpha strike (both guns fire together). Sensitivity settings are adjustable from a yolo chip located in the cockpit, this chip only adjusts your sense settings and is not vital to the operation of the aim system, you can use the U-tool save feature to save your sense settings to the ship post print.

One small prop tanks for 1 million prop, 30 mins estimated flight time. One T2 fuel chamber + three T2 generators, gens idle at 50% for 2 hours 30 mins idle time. Basic script for current Fuel/Prop times. //Design// Unlike the Mk1 which was a modified Ghast, this has been built as its own ship, making use of the speed and convenience of the recycle tool to rend found salvage into mats. This also makes it double as a cheap starter 8 crate hand miner, for both belt and surface. Mainly made to act as a expendable salvage ship during cargo crisis events, you can fill the the ship and be in and out undetected very quickly. Deliberately low tech and cheap, utilising stealthy manoeuvre thrusters to avoid direct fights in PvP zones, at the cost of prop range. Plates are hidden inside the crate layer surrounding the critical components, to reduce lethality from hostile endos. Can mount a tripod on various points of the ship, but top speed takes a serious dip. Prop range can be increased with pocket fuel rigs (Prop tank + tank support + hardpoint + resource bridge)

Latest variant of the Ghast, now with 20 missiles for bombardment. Since its release the Ghast has been used as my test bed for missile and torp testing before committing to a specific new design. When the 5 pod launcher was finally added, they easily attached to the Ghast, and was very reliable (for missiles anyway). The default scout variant has also been updated with some of the new additions made on the launcher variant. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Ghast-Mk2 //Specs// Comes unarmed for scouting or with 20 missiles for bombardment. LaunchMissile+ and LaunchTube+ are your missile triggers, bind both to the same key, this system uses no yolo and is a simple way to cycle and launch missile tubes.

Two small prop tanks for 2 million prop, 1 hours 10 mins estimated flight time. One T1 fuel chamber + Two T1 generators, gens idle at 14.5% for 8 hours 30 mins idle time, estimated flight time 2 hours 30 mins. Basic script for current Fuel/Prop times. Uses basic FCU, roll is performed using Roll_Left and Roll_Right buttons, this is to allow fast handling by isolating the roll thrusters from the FCU/MFC. //Tactics// Despite the very hindersome bugs launchers and their munitions have, the 5 pod launcher is surprisingly reliable. Reliable enough for them to be mounted onto the cheap, fast and stealthy hull of the Ghast, making it a fun and easy way to deploy the max amount of missiles onto a target. Unfortunately all missiles/torps have a chance of failure on launch due to bugs, and the ordinance itself is well known to fail at hitting moving targets, limiting there use. Where I personally see use, even if bugs are fixed, is in station bombardment and breaching. Small or large bombers may be a key aspect to siege warfare, and thus I believe small, cheap and stealthy bombers will be very valuable in the possible future. The Ghast has excellent range for a tailless ship, and can carry all its missiles at max speed. Low tech components keep the potentially one way mission more cost effective, missiles are only cheap to a point. Could possibly be used to ambush stationary ships, like surface miners.

Cheap and disposable stealth skiff, made without FCU/MFC to shave print cost. Made as a disposable ship and assault pod for up to 2 people, there may not be a cheaper, more stress free way to zerg into the fight. For a total of 4 stacks of t1 ore, and a print cost of 22 001 credits print without crafting parts, i can confidently say it does not get cheaper than this for brave one way trips. For good measure, i made a 5 pod launcher variant, giving you possibly one of the most affordable stealth bombers to have fun with. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Zoog-Mk2 //Specs// Comes unarmed for scouting or with 5 missiles for bombardment. LaunchMissile+ and LaunchTube+ are your missile triggers, bind both to the same key, this system uses no yolo and is a simple way to cycle and launch missile tubes. 148 m/s max speed using T1 manoeuvre thrusters, no trails. 68277.5234 kg in weight without missiles, 74437.3047 kg armed with missiles. One small prop tanks for 1 million prop, 40 mins estimated flight time. One T1 fuel chamber + one T1 generators, gens must be ran at max to fly. Roll is performed using Roll_L and Roll_R buttons. This ship has no FCU/MFC, it is manually balanced, and uses direct lever control. See attached photo of bindings for this ship. This is done to make the print cost incredibly low, and further make a cheap ship cheaper. //Tactics// Zerging the enemy has been, and always will be a strong method to win, low to no cost attacks with handheld weapons is the simplest form of combat. It is also the basis for station assault, so i made the Zoog. Cheaply printed even without tech tree unlocks, fast and stealthy, can be used by anyone as a easy trip into combat. Has two pilot seats for pilot to fly based on preference, doubles as a passenger seat to allow two endos per trip. The missile variant takes full advantage of the near zero cost of the hull, allowing you to deploy 5 missiles with next to no ship cost attached, it is basically the launcher and missiles. Ideally the launcher will be used to breach stations during siege, but I also expect it to be used as a risk free way to deploy some missiles.

160 crate early game low cost miner/hauler, made for speed in high risk environments. Made for starting players looking to get a foot in the door in Elysium. Can be easily mass produced by individuals and corporations. //Download// https://github.com/Open-Source-Armada/OSA-Gyaa-yoth-Mk1 //Specs// 150 m/s max speed dry, 130 m/s wet with exutium alloy. 4300612 kg in weight for hauler variant, 4381982.5 kg in weight for miner variant. 160 crates for for two t10s of core mat. 4 medium prop tanks for 16 million prop, 1 hour 15 mins estimated flight time. 8 T1 fuel chambers + 24 T1 generators, gens idle at 10% for 8 hours 30 mins idle time, 1 hour 30 mins flight time. Basic script for current Fuel/Prop times. Miner has 4 fixed mining lasers, 1 collector and 1 mat scanner using Happytriggers advanced scanner yolo. Requires a repair hall to operate, it is best used between dev stations and your own with hangers. //Design// Back in the "good old days" before cap ships, flying through the gate could be dangerous. While this is less of a issue these days, for newer players without cap ships looking to mine in Ely they need to pass the iconic chokepoint. Should piracy ever return to its former glory, this hauler and miner serve to help start out in spite of the danger. A new player can grind mats/credits in SZ and build a small fleet of these haulers/miners to prevent being stone aged trying to set up on Ely. I personally recommend setting a station in the Ely belt and building a small hanger to refill and repair the ships. While not meta tanked, the ship has a generous 2 layer char firewall at the rear, and a char cockpit shield, meant to make easy crit hits a little less easy. These ships are also ideal for individuals and corps to operate out of dev stations like moon city and arma. The ship can take off at 10% gens, making it possible to leave you location very rapidly from spawning the ship. T1 fuel rods are not as economic as T2, but T1 can be sustained with local nhurgite, where as T2 requires exorium to be hauled out for refills. Combined with a SZ CLF hauler to generate credits, a new player can easily fund trips to the Ely belt, and can mine the materials for better ships and there own cap ship in time.
