Another thing, I love little tech details.
Call it occupational hazard, even.
Name: Silver Arrow Class
Classification: Medium Offense-Oriented Independent Space Combat Vehicle, Attack Frigate
Dimensions: length: 210m, width: 70m, height: 50m
Standard Mass: 655,700 metric tons (prior to mass-compensation, doesn't include the modules)
Standard Crew: 325
Powerplant: WIPG-Z228D Zero-point Energy Extractor, WIPG-F899C Fusion Reactors x 8
Propulsion: Impulse Engine Clusters x 2, Gravity Drives x 24
Interstellar Travel: Foldspace Engine, Farcaster Generator
Speed: 0.5c (cruising), 0.9c (max combat), 2920c (maximal warp)
Maximum Jump Distance: approx. 72.4 lightyears
Armor: 100mm Durachrome Composite-S (reinforced by integrity fields)
Sensors: Foldspace Radar, Foldspace sensory package, GADAR, Hypertelescopes, backup sensors
Defense Systems:
Armaments:
Module Options:
Silver Arrow is a small and agile starship class with power which belies its size. It's delta-shaped hull an forward mounted Foldspace Accelerator Gun visibly tells its main role as strike vessel yet it can easily fill all the other standard frigate roles if required. Due to its numerous features the Silver Arrow class is also the flagship of smaller escort fleets and performs that role excellently. Its efficient Farcaster system allows it to work as long range patrol unit, traveling the stars alone. In larger fleets the number of Silver Arrows can determine the intention of the approaching WSF forces, larger quantity obviously implying preparations for aggression.
Still work in progress but basically this will be my most promient class of warship.
My ships are comparatively tiny and compact but often their bite could be quite dangerous.
