PS-02-H "Oneironaut" Heavy Adv. Stealth Scout

    PS-02-H "Oneironaut" Heavy Adv. Stealth Scout R1BP1

    - TRANSMISSION START -

    LORE:
    The relatively favorable reception to the Eye of Horus as a small, lightweight stealth vessel encouraged the engineers at Bephinius-Per Intelligence to build a more "beefy" version of the PS-01. The result is the "Oneironaut," a larger, heavier, but more powerful stealth vessel, also satisfying the requirement of "aesthetically competitive."
    In addition, you'll find that it poses more of a threat than the Eye of Horus, packing four missile launchers as an armament.
    The Oeironaut is a relatively comfortable vessel for its size, with a recommended crew size of three. Slimming down the crew complement from previous stealth designs has helped keeping the ship as independent as possible - while its many panels and plates give it a large area for power systems, they also mean it is unlikely that the Oneironaut will be used as a carrier vessel.

    BEHIND THE NAME:
    Apart from having an interesting spelling, I think "Oneironaut" is still fitting with the theme I'm going with. An oneironaut is someone who explores dreams - what better way to explore than exploring unseen?

    AUTHOR'S NOTE:
    The lore isn't completely fictitious; the feedback I got on the Eye of Horus was very encouraging. This is the result of that encouragement.

    ADDITIONAL, BUT SHORT AUTHOR'S NOTE:
    Just, by the way, I feel like this is the prettiest ship I've ever made.


    SECOND ADDITIONAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:
    The cloaker madness is upon me.

    Excellent Ship. First and Foremost - is very functional & does Exactly what's promised: stable Perma-Jam, Perma-Cloak Flying with Overdrive AND Jump-drive charging all at once! 2nd - it has very nice visual design. (I would change the missiles for probably cannon - since many ships have AMS; Warhead torpedo is another choice, but needs more mass for logic etc & is limited to few or just 1 shot.) It charges the jump drive relatively quickly too.

    Even if this ship had same specs but looked like a loose tangle of wire - it would already be great functional ship & better than many that promise the same.
    But it is all that AND has a great visual design!
    In such a small mass it even has a nice interior with restroom, med-bay, control room & observation deck!
    Plus it provides a very small target head on.

    If there were more stars - I'd give them!

    Thank you! I'm glad that you're impressed with the ship.
    Anyone ever again whines to me that it's not possible to build a potent, yet aesthetically pleasing permastealth ship, now I can slap them, slap them again with a backhand, and point them to this one. A great scout ship with an actually potent weapon array for any ship in its size range. The shielding is only good for taking one or two stray cannon shots, but let's be honest, if you take damage in a cloaker with overdrive engines, you're definitely doing it wrong.

    I'm glad you're impressed with the aesthetics and weapons, and you're right about the shields - they're only supposed to last long enough to fire off a volley.
    Thank you for the kind review!
    Very cool design...
