Description:
Ancient-Shivan War Tech Room Description
The Minos Superdestroyer is a unique capital ship rarely seen but always rumoured by officers and veterans. Its inception coincided with the development of the Malia cruiser. As such, they bear many of the same experimental technologies and facilities. However, the Minos was built with survivability and self-efficiency in mind. Operating independently from any fleet, the Minos instead rides amongst the shadows fulfilling missions too highly sensitive or hazardous for coventional fleet destroyers. Further information detailing this vessel is classified and special authorization is required to view it.
HTL's Tech Room Description
The oddly designed Minos class superdestroyer is probably command center of every Ancient big battlegroups constantly roaming around Ancient-controlled space and searching for shivans and influences of other races alike. A formidable warship with outstanding firepower is relying mostly of it's broadside heavy plasma cannons as it's primary weapon, also utilizing single spinal heavy beam cannons to mimic shivan shock-jump tactics. Minos is also equipped with extremly advanced sensor array, systems to generate local substance inihibition fields and other advanced equipment. We believe that Minos is state of art Ancient technology, designed to toe-to-toe with the most powerfull warships like shivan destroyers, but also to act as long-range local command center. Only two Minos warships were ever encountered, and both are flagships for larger forces constantly surrounded by attending fleets. Armament of Minos is semi-symetrical. Plasma cannons on the left side are placed close to eachother to maximize their power output against single target, while rightsided cannons are placed all across the lengts of the ship for long broadside duels with other larger vessels.

Developer Notes
HTL version is following original vibe of the ship closely, but has destroyable subsystems, shield mesh requested by one of HLP members and more turrets. It's inverted relatively to the original. Don't ask why. Shield is disabled by default. All magenta bubble-like things are actually destroyable subobjects.
