Command's note:
We were slightly afraid that our ships may be used against us, but afte a bit of discussion we may as well show our presence. This is one of the most interesting latest ship lines made for our republic as it has a break-through style layout and is very unconventional (the sole reason it was pet classed after the FTD youtuber) and albeit strong, it can't hold it's own against battleships and battlecruisers so it has been relagated in the support/patrol role as it has great potential with the large-caliber cannons it carries in the second line. (it is also absurdly fun to blow up packs of small ships with them)

(also turrets detonating in spectacular fasion is so unfortunatly common in my designs because of the large cannons I feel like most of them could ironicaly be nicknamed "hood")

OK go for it! I am also planning on posting an additional ship like this with a traditional loadout over thanksgiving weekend if prefered. (same guns, better defences, cheaper, but no anti-missile)

Ok. Other than that this is a great ship. Would you mind if I used the hull for a little project I've been working on? It's perfect for what I had in mind. I will credit you if I decide to publish it

I see, the chain reaction is a bit of a problem and feel free to modify at your leisure (as this is only mod 1).

This is certainly a very well made ship with some serious firepower and a good CIWS cannon, but the problem is the turrets. While they are strong, they chain react when destroyed, taking the engine with them and disabling the shields leaving it vulnerable. Ammo ejectors, using CRAM instead of Advanced, or a different ammo type could solve this problem.
