After a long time spent on the drawing bench, and even more in the research labs around Belgica, our engineers came back with a brand new ship dedicated to explorers, drifters and all who value speed over firepower.
Here comes the Caravan, a rather heavy civilian frigate, with an even heavier twin impulse engine able to propel her faster than most ships of her size.
Being a civilian ship, no weapons are mounted inside of the ship, which relies on its twelve "Cutter" civilian automated beam turrets Mk I to defend its hull and crew. However, it also bears an impressive shield for its size, even increased by an efficient ISRS.
As an exploration ship, it has been made to land on planets, and it does it quite well thanks to the extremely powerful antigravity field generator we provided her with.
To help even more the crew to reach unknown space, we also added an overdrive, embedded into the impulse engine, making this ship our fastest frigate in our short history.
It also features a big infirmary, two crew quarters, each for three men, a captain's quarter on starboard, a guest room on port, two storage rooms, a front upper-deck observation post and a small closed hangar on the bottom rear of the ship, between the thrusters, housing one of our brand new Spacevan.
Here comes a few views of the ship.
View on bottom from starboard, showing the hangar door and five turrets.
Port crew quarters.
Captain's quarter, taken from the bed.
Bridge, from left of the captain's chair.
Details on port side of the bridge, with the engineering information screens.
Main computer room, while looking towards the front of the ship.
Main engineering room, with its informative screens.
Port engineering, while looking to the front of the ship, notice the small walkway giving acces to the port impulse engine, located on the top right.
