Split equipments, good vs bad

[goduranus]

Had a quick look at the Split equipment after I found their wharf and shipyard. Most of their ships seem inferior due to having fewer shields, which actually means their ship go slower because they can't boost as much, because boost is linked to shield energy.

On the plus side, there is a ZYA fighter called Mamba(?) with 2 guns and 2 shields that is faster than than the 2 gun 2 shield Falcon. Their M cargo ship is faster and carries more than the Hermes. And their Destroyer could be used as a player ship for light combat due to having 4 frontal guns and more crew for boarding, but I'd keep it out of AI hands due to it having only 1 main shield. Their S mineral miner is overpowered due to being bugged it seems.

Their S combat engine mk4 and the Thermal Cannon(?) look promising, but I haven't unlocked them yet.
