CHEETO Battleship 2800 PCU

Description
With new PCU restrictions on MP servers, I was inspired by WWII "pocket battleships" built by Germans to avoid the tonnage restrictions set after the treaty of Versalles.

-----------

Cheeto is a high-tech, low-PCU war machine. It is very small, very tough and reasonably armed. It has a unique decoy system and glass "shields".

This is a PVP large grid spacecraft I am piloting on open server No. 9. A player named Cheeto helped me locate my lost battleship after I've lost it – so I've named this design after him. Thank you Cheeto!

It's a durable battleship under 2800 PCU! It comes with a very small chassis (smaller hitbox) coated in layered heavy armor.

Unique features:

- extremely low PCU cost for a battleship
- decoys that "follow" you, attract and shoot down missiles
- "shields" that cover thrusters and turrets. Shields can take a direct missile hit, I've tested it!
- a lot of heavy armor
- quick jump drive recharging
- I've also managed to squeeze a medbay in there
- easy to construct

Cheeto is intended for PVP factions as a fast response, expendable heavy assault craft. It has a jump drive, but it is not fast or maneuverable. It doesn't have to be - it packs a mean first strike and it can endure a lot of punishment.

Cheeto pilot manual

1. Enter through the grill at the top. Refuel through the missile turret panel.
2. Pick up speed and move your "nose" around to make use of the decoys and evade missiles
3. Expose flanks or front to the enemy and let your guns do the talking.
4. Bath in the tears of your enemies

This is a functional, tested spaceship. I hope some of the engineering solutions will inspire your future builds.

I am currently writing a sequel to my Space Engineers themed novel "Janitors of the Late Space Age". Stay tuned for updates! If you haven't read the original novel, you can get it here:

@Warbot123 - It is ion powered so it can stand a little bit of gravity. Forward thrust is pretty strong, so it should be able to deal with flying around the Moon. I don't think it can land and lift off from Moon, though.
