It is also, most notably, the Gryphon from .7, which had unlimited uses of the missile autoforge and spent CR instead of building flux.
Oh? That was a thing? I think I didn't get into Starsector until 0.8.1, so I missed that glorious OP. But yeah, doesn't sound like we're getting the 0.7 Gryphon. The description explicitly mentions very high flux build-up as a thing for the Gryphon, and the feedstock is probably also not infinite in quantity. Then again, I am a flithy lover of everything high-tech in Starsector, and my personal favourite among cruisers has always been the Aurora-class, so I don't have all that much first-hand knowledge of what things like the Gryphon and Dominator are really capable in player hands. Though I do know that the Falcon and Eagle are both pretty solid ships in the hands of AI officers, as well as in your own hands: powerful enough to matter in any situation, robust and simple enough that it's hard to outright fuck up with them. Unless you're going for a miracle win against a fleet twice/thrice your own tonnage and every little mistake counts.
