RFP 'Skull'

This vessel was designed as part of my Rapid Fleet Prototyping project. For more information on this project, please see the description of the world file, found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1499175300




The Skull is a lightweight cruiser, with a healthy mix of maneuverability and rocket-based firepower. It also has two jump drives, making it more than capable of traveling either solo, or as part of a fleet.

As part of the Rapid Fleet Prototyping Project, the Skull is designed to be a natural step up from small grid fighters, to large grid vessels. While it isn’t particularly cheap, having quite a number of thrusters and other systems, it’s quite agile, and brings a fairly impressive amount of firepower, without being especially large or (comparatively) expensive.
