Comes it larger sister class, the Frigate. Ni (Nebulawolf industries) brings you a crewed vessel for total immersion. As always Ni hope that you find our latest creation a useful addition to your fleet. Ni would like to take this opportunity to thank you for subscribing to Ni designs.

This is an all steel version allowing you to up-armour as you find new sources of Sathium. The build cost has also been kept to a minimum by not having any weapons. This will allow you to add your favourite flavour or capability to the vessel in the range of dedicated weapon locations provided.

There is also more than enough room for your favourite toys with both SV and HV Hangars included. There is a repair bay built into the floor of the Tank Hangar for those ongoing maintenance concerns. (just fly your SV in for repairs when your HV is out and about.

Lighting condition is controlled by a lever located immediately behind the cockpit. White lights and emergency lighting can also be controlled manually by turning off the lights and then using the appropriate Lighting Override. Lighting across the ship is set to turn on and or off as you move around inside or leave the ship, (to conserve power / fuel usage).

Hangar doors are controlled from either side of the door, but must be closed by the same lever used to open the door. There is a screen above the lever that was used to open the door, which will indicate the need to secure the hanger door. The levers for both hangars always operate in a “true” sense. Up is open (red indicator) down is closed (green or safe indicator). Either hangar door will also automatically open from the outside as you approach the rear of the ship. Auto open/ed doors will auto close once you are inside, but can be overridden by using the lever control. Both Hanger doors can be locked-out from the controls screen.

The ship handles “like a ship” with only 2x standard RCS installed, however for those that think that a massive ship should handle like a nimble fighter there is adequate room in the RCS bays to either upgrade to RCS T2 or to add additional standard or T2 type RCS. The ship will then handle like a tiny fighter to completely destroy any sense of immersion.

As with all Ni designs there is a braking thruster cut off control, that turns off braking thrusters when you want to cruise (please remember to turn braking thrusters back on when you want to bring the ship to a stop [usually a good thing to do before crashing into anything]) and you can also turn off main engines when not needed when cruising in space, the manoeuvring system (thrusters) can provide more than enough power to keep the vessel flying in atmosphere or space. Use Auxiliary Lift Engines to get the vessel airborne and then shut them down if just cruising around. Ni recommends that all engines are put in active (on) mode during combat to ensure maximum manoeuverability and redundancy.

The ship has been designed to provide maximum immersion with crew quarters and facilities incorporated in the design from the very start. Every weapon position actually has a dedicated weapon station that can be occupied if you want to have a truly crewed vessel experience.
