Huntress Ambush Class Corvette - The Sojourn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pQkINlrHiI
This is my FULLY OPERATIONAL fairly faithful rendition of the Huntress Class Ambush Corvette courtesy of Daniel from space dock and his team of little wizards.
The ACB PID enhanced NAVAL AI will make good use of the vectored thrust system I designed,
for maneuvres, but currently very rarely for sprint speed,
this gives the Huntress, a 100 meter warship, an incredible turn rate.
402mm burst fire 30 degree frag HESH cannon [30+ degree forward firing arc]
[This might change to 2 X 3 elevation mantle RAIL build of some kind,
either on a limited internal turret or just LUA "front to enemy" AI code.]
X 2 Dual 149mm autolader FRAG/FLAK/TIMED combined anti ship / anti missile cannons.
Might drop these to an 88mm HVAP, and an 88MM fLAK round minigun
X 2 medium 7 block missiles FRAG/HE mix, one radar guided the other AI or player remote controlled.
maybe replace with 2 large missiles if I can build a high capacity very compact armoured ammo storage and ammo production facillity.
X 4 backup steam / electric power plant.
Needs main power plant, either fuel, RTG or whatever DEV brings out next. (empty bay middships)
Main drive 55MS-1 cruise, upto 69MS-1 with vectored thrust.
X 8 large and X 24 small AI controlled 2 axis vectored thrusters.
Currently set to maximise maneuvres for strafing runs as opposed prioritising evading enemy fire or for speed.
Radar, visual,laser rangefinder, forward facing coincidence range finder, passive radar, munitions warners
Dual core AI (almost vanilla Naval AI with event driven ACB / PID overide.)
Second core needs upgrade and relocation. Maybe change to AIR AI or LUA.
There is a high chance of a hidden high power capacitor based power plant, linked to a burst laser point defence system of some kind being installed, speed will likely increase as well as turn ratio and missile avoidance.
Rebalance Ion thruster vs jet thruster ratio, and add at least 1 large Ion thruster on top of prow, fix blockage on RHS light turret
So far she seems to have very similair strengths and weaknesses to the original.
W.I.P.
There is also still some cosmetic work to do

100 Meters
100000 resource cost.

Almost finished the final version, struggling to get it to repeat this ones attack pattern though. No LAMS I kept it true to the original
