Split Acinonyx Prototype (M6)

This unique ship was custom built to act as a testbed for newly developed technologies. It was designed completely from scratch to incorporate Ho t'Sht's prototype Matter/Anti-matter engine. Equipped with expanded laser generators for weapons testing and missile systems, which have been modified to launch bording pods, the Acinonyx Prototype is a force to be reckoned with.

The highest hitting m6 with 14 (12+2) frontal guns.

Captain_Ginko • 3 years ago
Does anybody know how I can get this ship or BP In FL ?

Roguey • 3 years ago
Well I boarded mine, as im not friendly with the Split atm. Maybe you could use diplomat to unlock special ships without being hostile?

VerboseCommenter • 7 years ago
This is overpowered and I'm glad that it's so niche in terms of occurrence - otherwise it would kill any form of fair play. Spawn it in, you'll see what I mean.

High energy and replenishment aid to the fact that it can load standard, hard-hitting High Energy Plasma Throwers. Although the turrets are arguably better off with different guns, one would be foolish not to consider them on the cockpit: which has twelve slots, if you hadn't noticed, and I cannot iterate enough how much stamina this ship has. It lasts longer than I do hurling plasma! HAWHAW...*ahem*...no, seriously, it just keeps firing. Don't worry about energy consumption.

That cargo-bay size is on the upper section of the spectrum available on M6 crafts, which is a useful feature for the likes of boarding pods and/or missiles. Personally, I like watching things go boom, so I chuck on as many missiles as I can fit to it. I can see the use in boarding pods, but, honestly, I doubt very much that the pilot would be needing to gather up as many vessels as they can find with the Acinonyx under their belt.

Hammer Heavy Torpedos. Loading up with them means that the Acinonyx is capable of attacking anything, in much the broadest sense of the word 'anything'.

It is far from immobile and in fact possesses a somewhat standard agility alongside, frankly, an impressive top speed - being rated the second-highest of all M6s. Let me tell you, when it comes to a dogfight, the only ships this'll struggle with are the pesky little M5s that wouldn't pose much of a threat were they close enough to hurl some explosives at, anyway.

Allow me to reconcile that note; there is one particular craft in question that would trump it any day, and that is the mysteriously un-marked Xenon Unknown Object (See M3 list of ships). The Acinonyx-lovers out there receive my deepest condolences, but that's one set of statistics that even this baby would struggle with, if it were used as I suggest on its entry.

Good luck getting one. Miscalculation mission is 7 shades of fvcked. Engine tunings? Never saw any during the dozens of times I had my a$$ handed to me. See ya in the next shitty game albeit won't be for long. HarryAHole over and out.

Damn, this ship with a full frontal array of ISRs can do even more damage than the Vidar with MAMLs

Scott • 10 years ago
i got this ship after communing from the xenon graveyard.any how i used this ship to board a heavy nemines form the priates.. With just 8 marines all you can use i t to board.

Aris • 11 years ago
Can you keep the full potential copy without ending the plot ?

Solidsnook • 11 years ago
IMHO it's not better than Hyperion, it's just different.

Acinonyx is more like a heavy fighter to me, equiped with only HEPT. This way, I get enough cargo space to stock E-cells...

Hyperion is multi purpose, I use it to fight, travel, buy stuff and for player logistic. Acinonyx hasn't enough cargospace to do that.

ARI • 11 years ago
It's much better than Hyperion. More frontal guns, Hammer torpedoes and boarding pods. Small cargo bay is a bad news. Also, its speed can be overtuned up to 260 (in my game), thereafter storming of a capital ship reminds Il-2 Sturmovik =).

Scott • 11 years ago
if the cargo space was bigger say 1500 then it would be soo close to the hyperion it is not funny

Seygantte • 11 years ago
Ugly? This thing is gorgeous.

samoja1 • 11 years ago
It is rely ugly, but i guess its ability makes up for that.

XeNoN • 11 years ago
After i flew with this badboy ive noticed one thing:
The TOP turret can shoot forward! So you have accually 14 frontal firepower, arm it with 8 ISR's 4 Cigs and HEPT's...this thing is unstoppable especially if you have HHT's and Tempest's.

Cachurro • 11 years ago
It shoots Hammers!! M3s pop pretty easily with them. But it does not carry Typhoons that store twice as much punch in the same cargo hold and cannot be neutralized by a single mosquito. Cry

Roguey • 11 years ago
sorry about the mistake with the front-guns, its now been corrected.

ThornandSpec • 11 years ago

On Egosoft forum I got the info that it's unique ship and cannot be rev-engineered. Also, it mounts Ion Shard Railguns, not Ion Disruptors (sadly Cry )
- stilgar

welp, looks like I'm going addon hunting sometime soon! I'm getting more than one of these suckers one way or another!
