Sorry, I'm currently even more mentally insane than usual. Just check under the EV section of the Ambrosia site (add-ons). You should be able to find it.
But the Alien Cruiser ruins the game. And most people can take them on in some very small ships..... I like to stick with my Lightning.

Actually, I don't particularly like the Alien Cruiser. Sure, it's got good shielding, and the fusion beam is powerful, but it has no turrets, you can't restock the seeker drones, and you run into the beam bugs that weren't fixed until Override 1.0.2. In addition, it maneuvers like a cow.

My thoughts as well. Although it has an astonishing amount of shielding and firepower, I'm sure a Confederation and Rebel Cruiser could easilly take it out if handled correctly.

Since you're already cheating why not just modify the alien fighter? It has a high shield regen rate, high maneuverability, & excellent speed. You just need to change the availability and add some firepower.....

Actually, most people say that the Alien fighter is TOO fast and maneuverable...you sort of lose control of it.
If you want a ship that owns everything, get a Rapier

Just like flying an Azdara in EVO, it forces you to improve your piloting skill. That's a good thing.
If you like the Rapier use it, more power to you, but I personally find it lacking in many ways.
Yeah, though the Rapier may be powerful for a fighter, it has very little room for expansion and not enough shielding. I usually just skip the Rapier and go onto something bigger like the Argosy.

When you guys say the alien cruiser can easily be handled with a rebel cruiser or something along those lines, your forgetting something. Human players are much better than the AI. A human flying the alien cruiser can wreck a human flying a rebel cruiser (theoretically speaking). The simple fact is, experienced ev players, and most fairly older than newbie players aren't stupid. They don't let you kill them while they try to utilize their horrible turning rate to set up for the perfect shot. They'll move around and slice your •ss with that fusion beam...Still i have to agree with you in this respect, since you never play another human with a cruiser, a well upgraded rebel cruiser can really wreck, and that is much more satisfying than cheating and getting a slightly better ship.

Lightnings are my weapon of choice. And there's a plug on EV add-ons page that supposedly lets you buy 'em didn't work for me
