This is a design for automating a VEGA fleet 20 + 23 with up to 6-7 mins repair time.
Very handy for low level players. If you have lesser beam weaps then fill the space up with iridium or trianium
4 rancs to a fleet mind so ship yard level 3 up.
UPDATED
A slight modification when you have Rear Thrust 3
Rear Thrusters 3, Shock 3, Focus 1, Pulse Ray 4 x3, Pulse Ray 5 x1, Iridium 2 x2
This adds 4 mass to the ship so will still fit in a fleet of 4 for a level 3 Ship Bay
"Untested"; but I think this could do a 25 normal and a AM 20 with (Hopefully) no more than 7 mins repair
"Tested" It sucks! no different. nearly 18mins rep so this is what i did:
The 1st two ships I changed the weapon system on it - Rear 2, AM 1 or Spread 2 (both give around the same rep time), Hex 1 x3, no armor!
As long as they split properly, 2 each side, they should return with at most 12 mins rep, if they dont split then its 20+ thats the gamble if you want to autofarm 25's. other wise the 1st original build (See photo) will see you constantly auto instarep 20's + 23's. (At worst 7mins)
Thats it for this post. Any further mods you might as well visit the build designs on another post (see link in one of the comments below)
Thanks for reading.
Happy Hunting
BTW the engine MOD is a Rear 2
why not do it with under 5 minutes of repair with 3 rancors instead of 4
When you
fail… Don’t Blame Lag
Just tried it and no! a 20 hit took 5mins and a 23 took 8! In more detail, 4 fleets hitting a 20 is instant always and hitting a 23 = instant to 7 mins

fail… Don’t Blame Lag
Thanks for the grammar correction, I was rush typing as I was going to work. Fleets - Ships... Got it

That design requires a Ship Bay lvl 4 with everything else before it and after. I am aiming for that design as I want to auto up to 27's but I posted this for those lower levels to get some sort of a head start.
BTW i'm also only a month old in to this game, so I'm no expert at this stuff... Yet
Good information Anthony. Passed this information to a buddy of mine that was struggling a bit. This will certainly help him out.
