Bident Assault Frigate

    Bident Assault Frigate 2015-01-05

    Another small ship I made a while ago. It packs a big punch for its size, also has a good thrust to weight ratio.

    Its shields are good but don't expect to last long in a fight. I've put the jump drive on a good location so you should be able to get out once they start hitting your hull.

    The central sphere, that contains the ship core, consists of almost solid advanced armor so it will last for a while against non piercing weapons.

    Unfortunately, the way missiles work, it is very vulnerable against explosives or punch through weapons. I would advise you to adjust the turrets so they are anti missile, giving you a bigger chance to avoid missiles. Using the on-board radar jammer should protect you against those nasty lock on missiles too, at least from a distance.

    Stats:
    • 5.5 million power storage with 1 mil regen/s (thanks @aceface for noticing the typo)
    • 18 000 thrust versus 8500 mass
    • 620 000 shield HP with 17800 regen/s
    • Length: 147m Width: 79m Height 31m
    Weapons:
    • 4 long range, lock-on missiles with explosive. 25 000 dps and each missile capable of leaving a large hole.
    • 4 fast firing cannons with punch through. 44 000 dps.
    Comes equipped with 4 fast firing turrets, can be used for point defence or for harassment. Each turret has 600 dps.

    Thank you for your review, seems about right to also make a turret variant. Any ideas with what I should do with the systems? Obviously remove all the thrusters but I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice some shields for more weaponry. As a ship its DPS is already high for its mass but then again, a ship is not a turret.
