Elucidator Class Ion Frigate
Designed to shred shields & penetrate through vital systems as quickly as possible, and cripple an opponent before they can break its shields.
Primarily uses rapid fire semi-ion cannons for high dps still capable of strong penetration against similar sized ships, main turrets also containing follow up punch rounds and cannon/beam arrays. Block damage is boosted by an Armor HP Shredding Punch Missile, a cluster of Smaller piercing missiles, and several select fire piercing missile turrets.
Small EMP & Stop weapons to aid against smaller & Faster ships, player fired stop weapon also very useful for manually shooting down lock ons that your AMS can't handle, a full size chain drive & a small jump inhibitor are included, as well as a simple docked scanner & bobby AI readily accessible in the cockpit if secondary scans are needed.
Rough stats-
12k mass
1.5 twr/50% ovd
800k/60k/60% shielding
~480k maximal dps (cannon based dps loses a massive amount of dps against smaller & faster targets)
2.2m e/s (main ship) 1.6m e/s (turrets combined)
