The front-liner of my AI fleet, this ship rides the line between being designated a corvette and a light frigate in my mind. A heavily armored front plate protects a dual-output 1740-block Cannon/Cannon/Punch-Through main gun in 1:0.9:1 ratio, supported by two Cannon/Cannon/Stop turrets to hold a target in place. Two experimental Beam/EMP turrets provide an anti-fighter screen, and nine AMS turrets comprise an adequate missile protection system. The 2.2 thrust-to-mass ratio allows this ship to sprint ahead of its lighter brethren to soak up fire. The interior provides bunks for three crew members at a time, with an assumed six working in alternating shifts. Again optimized for the Minimade server while sitting only a few hundred mass under the cap, expect it to be bulked up slightly with extra armor plates and improved stop cannons later.
