I picked up a Ghost Ark kit but now I don't know which way to build it. I was thinking about magnetizing it but it really seems like a ton of work to do it right and not even sure if I want to if I never use one of the configurations.

I ask Dakka for help deciding! Which configuration do you think is best and why?

I'm not a fan of magnaziting these as its pretty back heavy and you'd need some strong magnets and it might make it look a bit clunky, or fall apart when you pick it up if they aren't strong enough.

I chose ghost arks because you can load them with crypteks and make them a pretty awesome fireboat. I have 1x doomsday ark and 2x ghost arks... the doomsday ark has yet to kill a damn thing haha.

They both preform tottaly diffrent purposes, and can't really be compared that way.

I get more use out of the Ghost Ark myself, as many people consider the Doomsday Ark to be subpar.

You really should consider your entire list. The Ghost Ark is first and foremost a transport. It can also repair fallen warriors. It also has Quantum Shielding, and living metal as well, boosting it's durability quite high.
It is quite expensive points wise, at 115.

The Doomsday Ark is our longest range weapon, besides a Tachyon arrow, and Harp shot. It's got QS and Living Metal as well. However, it's biggest downfall is that if you move it, you can't fire it's main weapon at full power.

I would say, check out your list, and play a few games first. In the end though, I use my Ghost Arks much more, than my Doomsday Arks.
