1 Unpowered thrusters with missing LV wires Image

HV wire connecting the smes/substation outputs to the generator, not good.

Missing directional holofan for the airlock

Ship has very good vibes artistically, well armored for its class and with a clear goal in mind, forward facing bombardment with much less rear facing armament and wall density supports this. Speed and manuerability is fine for a voucher ship.

Armament seems fine, although I'm not in tune with the meta. Research seems functional as well.

Mass scanner outline is very good and distinctive. Overall, fix the minor things and it should be fine.

name: TSF-SKR Polaris
description: A heavily-armed frigate with 6 CYREXAs and 1 CHARON mass-driver. While having heavy firepower, and multiple redundant substations and SMES systems, it lacks heavily in PD.
name: TSF-PIN Altair
description: A heavily-armed frigate with 4 cyrexa, laser cannons and its main armament, a CHARON mass driver. Made as a heavy frontline brawler and serve as a fleet anchor for smaller forces.

Mandatory changes

Image

tiles needed there, also under the paper door.
Also the big blue line, make it continue to the left under the table for consistency.

Image

Same here under the racks and dispensers (removed them for demonstration)

Image Image Image Image Image Image Image

missing tiles, be more mindful in the future, I shouldn't have to show you this.

Image

21 secondary 79 primary

Image tile Image

missing tiles under rack & gyro

Image

same

Image

add radiation gear + fire extinguisher (latter is part of fundamental guidelines)
tiles missing under SMES grav gen & server

The railing looks off like that. Remove them, making U ones (like below)

Image Image

You should really avoid this kind of wiring but I'll give it a pass because it's soul.

Image

the line should be layered underr the tech decal for consistency.

Image

Try putting a mono catwalk under that scrub to add depth (see below) Feel free to put a tile that adds more depth too.

Image Image

Run me a color network for waste and distro

Image

remove that cable line, both subbies are connected anyways.

A bunch of the outside plating which are not covered by anything could either be lattices or have armor added onto. up to you.

Image Remove these two diagonal grilles. Image

make the two bare diagonal plating into lattice

Other

I've asked the other maptainer for the use of capital plastit, this might be subject to change in the future.

Overall the ship is an upgrade to the previous. Aside from a lot of missing tiles, it's a very solid replacement and will be able to make it into the game with enough tweaking.

Thanks for the PR.
