Wow! Perfect.
But it's a pity that you can't see the explosion on these screenshots, but it must be great!

Hi!

You should add any "sign" or position indicator to this ship (I'm talking about the same feature the Transwarp conduit has-> the purple ring on the minimap)
so the player has to defend and what about a siege mode like the good ol' siege tank from StarCraft.
In general: I think this will give the Fluidic and Matura Nebula a complete new "sense" in planning your strategy-> hidding in Nebulas and firing at bypassing ships or mining stations in the proximity of the nebula

Matura Nebula

Hehe, that has nothing to do with Swiss A-levels. It's Mutara, not Matura.

On topic:

I love the ship. Gimme!

On that sabotage problem:

What about this: If that artillery is expensive and costs so many credits, wouldn't it be fair, if it indeed could be destroyed by the sabotage center, but if you do so, the sabotage center blows up in the same moment, because of an effect of this unique kind of weapon? (wormhole feedback loop )

@sabotage:
nope, the artillery, as many larger vessels, cannot be destroyed with a single sabotage attempt

@Hyperspace Artillery costs:
the costs are not that expensive, 800 dilithium and 800 tritanium at the moment

@Explosion Effect:
There is no picture of it cause i'm still working on it i really want a nice explosion for that weapon so i take a bit extra time for it. i will upload a shot as soon as it's final
