Ares Aerospace is proud to announce the launching of the KSN FG-10 Echidna, the light assault variant of our Dyrae class frigate line up. This design will finish up the last 4 ships of our 12 ship contract with the Kushan State Navy in the GXN galaxy.
The missile launchers batteries have been removed, and this has freed up the volume to install a destroyer level Light Gravitic Pulse cannon and increase the potency of the light shield disruptor by 50%.
As a side bonus, removing the missile batteries allowed our engineers to downsize the extremely rugged power grid systems needed to support missile operations and divert the excess internal volume into a much more powerful sublight drive. To date, the FG-10 Echidna is the fastest armored warship we've launched.
The mission profile of this vessel is brutally simple, close with the enemy and destroy them with continuous cannon fire, or at the very least, inflict as much damage as possible on the targets systems and missile defense grid, opening up the target to be engaged and destroyed by more conventionally armed fleet elements.
Weapon Systems
Nova Pattern Light Gravitic Pulse Cannon, this weapon fires a constart stream of gravitically compressed and accelerated synthetic strange matter at a combined fire rate of 3000 round per minute. This will literally shred lightly or heavily armored targets.
2000 Cannon 2000 Cannon 2000 Punch 5 Outputs
Enhanced Light Shield Disruptor, just like our standard light shield disruptors but now with a 50% increase in power!
1500 Beam 1500 Beam 1500 Ion 2 Outputs
Secondary weapons consist of a pair of our Ultra Light High Output Twin Autocannon turrets.
Tertiary defensive batteries consist of 12 of our Mk 8 Heavy Phalanx anti missile turrets.
To add one of these fast and dangerous ships to your fleet, swing by our galnet sit today or visit us in person at our newly opened shipyards located at the capital of the Kushan State in the GXN galaxy!
END RP
This is a requested/suggested variant on the Dyrae frigates that I'm mostly posting here to establish myself as original designer before I start selling it out of my shipyards on GXN.
Its fast and has a giant cannon, so the doctrine is pretty straight forward, get in close try and circle strafe to avoid return fire and hold down the trigger until the other ship goes away......
I should also mention that I've built the three variants of this ship I intend to build, and am ready to start on a new project going forward.
Finally, enjoy! And feel free to leave any positive or negative feedback, this is my first attempt at a cannon brawler type ship in this weight class and I'm sure there's room for improvement.
