Arbalest Class Frigate v0.203.105

Very detailed design, good, varied layout. The ship fit's the class designation. The author's lore and attention to detail make this a good ship for RP. The ship for it's size seems, though by no means is it defenseless, it would not be competitive against purpose built pvp ships. That isn't a mark down, just a note. It is also nice that this ship fits a coherent design scheme for the fleet of ships the author has designed. they all look like they fit in the same faction.

A nicely build ship. For a frigate design it seems to fit the role well.
A lot of time and effort went into this build and it does show.

The large number of turrets will give this ship an impressive rate of fire.
I do think that the turret designs could use some improvements. You could get a lot more systems within the same space constraint with a different design.

The hull design is nice and sleek. A low profile from the frond and sides. Should give your opponent less of a target. The hull greebling is not always consistent. Personally, I think it works best if the greeble looks like it’s a functional part of the ship. Like the directional thrusters, or a hatch hiding some sort of ship component.

Interior wise I’m a bit on the fence. It doesn’t really know what it wants to be? Its mostly just functional space but there are some roleplay themed areas as well like the med bay.
There is still a lot of empty space in this hull. It could be utilized for more interior space or systems.

In conclusion: A nice ship with some room for improvement.
