ONS - Athena class Light Cruiser

    ONS - Athena class Light Cruiser v0.199.435

    This ship came after the previous ship I uploaded, the Oceanus. As a result, this ship has a much more filled out interior, with less systems. I wanted to bring more of a role-play element to this design, and wanted to make less of a combat ship. If i were to classify this ship, then it would go into the supporting role, rather then an offensive role for a fleet. There are two standard docking ports, however I recommend extension tubes from a station, because the external hanger pods will interfere with any docking attempt.



    There aren't any heavy turrets, medium turrets, or light turrets on this ship, the only defense it has, is 18 dual point defense turrets, spread out along the hull of the ship. This ship is meant to bolster the defense of the fleet, and protect the ships around it, from as many missile attacks, as possible. So bringing in at least 2 or 3 Athena class vessels, would be recommended.

    The appearance of the ship is very similar to the Oceanus, as I wanted to imitate the previous design, and see if I can scale down the hull, without sacrificing visual aesthetic. So, aside from the coning tower being overly large for this vessel, the ship does look like it belongs in a fleet with the much larger, Oceanus class. Unlike the Oceanus in appearance, is the addition of the frontal deflector array, because I didn't like the look of the pointed nose, for this size of ship.

    The stats aren't that impressive for a vessel of its size, that's partly due to the interior of the vessel creating vast amounts of empty space, and the shallow height of the ship, which is only 26 blocks tall. that height is also shared with the coning tower and the lowered hanger pods as well, so its even flatter then that. The following is the complete room list for the Athena.

    Room List

    1 Cargo Bay
    1 Brig
    1 Medical Bay
    1 Crew Lounge
    2 Hanger Pods
    1 Officer Conference Room
    1 Central Computer Core/Core Room
    1 Bridge
    1 Communications bridge
    2 Standard air locks

    2 Data bank storage rooms
    1 Captain quarters
    1 First officer quarters
    2 Transporter rooms

    The main armament for the Athena is a single group of 32 missile arrays, that has slaved damage beams, as well as explosive effect, so it should at least annoy and distract a much tougher foe, and create enough damage support to keep an opponents shields down. long enough for heavier damage dealers to reload, and finish the job.

    I have also included a scanner array, which should help scan a sector, if this ship is used as a front line scout, before the rest of the battle fleet arrives to back you up.
