Hello space travelers.
Today Belgica Starship Engineering is proud to unveil our brand new light frigate, especially made for explorers, the Mercator-class.
While small for a frigate, with a mere 45 meters length, it nevertheless holds what's needed by most explorers, four powerful impulse thrusters, a scanner system, a radar jaùmmer to avoid being detected by roaming pirates, six small salvage beams for emergency resupply and, of course, a jump drive.
Being an exploration ship, it bears only light weaponry, namely four rapid-fire cannons, located under the bridge, ten long range light missiles, made to swarm and overwhelm an incoming pirate up to 4.8km away, and an automated civilian rapid-fire turret.
That's all for today dear space travelers, thanks for reading this Belgica Spaceship Engineering ad.

All pictures were sent by the crew of the BeLF Mercator, first of her class, during her maiden flight, after being trapped in a serie of wormholes, after the barely escaped the gravity well.
