Is there any chance this ship could be made useful? At the moment it has mediocre aug slots, bizarre resists, essentially useless inbuilt stats, an entirely useless inbuilt weapon(seriously, try it out sometime), and I've seen (I think) one used in my entire SS career.

Some quick ideas: Beef the inbuilt weapon. The first thing that springs to mind is a heat damage, nova-type weapon. Short range, high damage, high recoil. Make it ethereal too, for uniqueness factor, maybe?

Also, give it some useful inbuilt stats. For example, crit chance and damage would be very handy for up-and-coming players.

And of course, an extra aug slot always helps.

Just a thought.

...nothing?

Nope.

Should get rid of ruins altogether if they don't respond to beefing where it's due.

There has been a post similar to this in which devs responded to ruin ships, please hold while I find it
