what is this ship?
Mikeno destroyer, scMikeno
currently used only as the image for the debug depot, you will never see it in game, but it is a fully functional ship, seen only on the main screen's automated never ending battles.(press "n" to see a new ship fighting)

It's currently a ship graphic without a home.
I originally wanted it to be an Outlaw destroyer of some sort, but I never wrote that part of the game.
Then it became the cruiser that resurrected you if you bought insurance, but I changed that when I made the Corporate Cruiser (which looks more like a corporate ship).
My graphics style has moved on since then, so I don't think it will ever show up in the game as a new ship class.
Maybe it will eventually be the wreck of some ancient (pre-Ares war) ship or something.

how about adding it to the list of wreck encounters and giving it some nice goodies?
so in otherwords it's simply something for modders to play around with?

It is the mikeno - it's no longer used... Used to be the old version of the corporate cruiser, before george decided to make a better one.

I encountered that way back in 0.99 beta, in some back-end system like level 13/14.Wolfy wrote:

Haven't seen it since, but I've been bogged down with modding atm and haven't started a real game for a while!
It did look sorta out of place, being such a big square thing - it didn't fit Transcendence's style...
If it was to be given new life, it would have to have be an old freighter of some sort from long ago.

It should not have appeared in .99c vanilla - I think it was a pre .95 ship?ThePrivateer wrote:I encountered that way back in 0.99 beta, in some back-end system like level 13/14.Wolfy wrote:
