Survival ready
Full conveyor system for Oxygen and Cargo/Ammo
Docking connector for refueling and re-arming
Full Heavy Armour Hull construction with some light armour for interior walls/bulkheads
2 sets of Torpedo tubes
8 gatling turrets for anti-air defense
5 control seats- one main and four for operating weapons
5 back-up control stations located in the rear of the ship
Lift shafts to travel between the 5 main decks
Multiple Jumpdrives, batteries, reactors, cryopods, medical bays- all the essentials and then some.


Special Features:

Hanger bay- a decent sized hanger is located on the lower port side of the ship, with room for one or two small support ships or fighters. Rotor lock override is turned on by default to prevent any accidents- button panels have 3 buttons for simple control ( rotor on/off, rotor reverse, safety override on/off ).

Production Facilities- ship has 2 Refineries, multiple Assemblers and Arc furnaces, along with Oxygen/Hydrogen production and storage and lots of cargo storage


Summary:

I was never really happy with vanilla large turrets, and actual vanilla turrets are laughably tiny- I could improve the existing ones but it's difficult to have 2 axis rotation on the 'barrels' and maintain a small profile. Therefore, I have committed heresy and added a couple carefully selected mods- a very popular shield mod to give the hull a bit more protection, and the awesome X-3 Heavy Cannon mod for much greater firepower, more befitting of a Destroyer-class ship. There are 2 shield generators ( and upgrade modules ) in the new ventral 'hump' that replaces one of the turrets but also provides much greater durability for the ship, and 3 of the X-3 cannons on the dorsal surface providing awesome firepower for taking down enemy ships and stations, or bombarding asteroid bases- the cannons aren't the most accurate but even out past 1KM they are still quite effective and can be manually aimed or AI controlled.
