EHI FFE-100 Tison Escort Frigate

NO MODS | DLC REQUIRED | SCRIPTS | NO SUBGRIDS | SURVIVAL READY



IFF ID: (FFE-100)
Hull symbol: FFE





Named after the old French word for firebrand, the Tison is a generalist combat vessel primarily geared towards service as a long range convoy escort.

As a cost of its initial success, EHI would find itself spread thin trying to protect increasingly far flung outposts and the long legged convoys that traveled between them. It became obvious that a heavy vessel was needed to discourage piracy, but existing designs able to meet the range requirements were simply too large and too expensive for what was needed. EHI engineers eventually settled on an upscaled version of a previously shelved corvette design. The resulting Tison "heavy corvette," while successful would find itself reaching its limits in response to the widening demands of its task.

Taking a second look, EHI's design teams made the call to completely reconfigure its interior for maximum efficiency. The product of this effort would be nearly doubled jump range, fuel capacity, and greatly expanded crew amenities. It was also decided to retire the "heavy corvette" designation, rechristening the Tison as a fully fledged frigate.

Compared to other ships of its size, the Tison forgoes a docking bay in exchange for a double layered hull, cavernous engine compartment (comprising nearly half of its internal volume) and moderate self-repair function. These attributes in combination with its decent cargo capacity, sublight handling, and excellent turret coverage all contribute to aiding the Tison in its escort mission.

An array of advanced combat features come standard, including:

Turret-based LiDAR, self-repair for combat systems, a large CIC in the ship's core, 24 g gravity well projector, decoys, and a togglable single-axis gravity drive.

1) The way the gravity drive functions means that when toggling it back off, often the gyroscopes will not kick back out of override mode. This is easily fixed, just trigger the 'Disable Gravity Drive' timer a second time.
2) The combat system welders are not on by default! Check these before entering combat.
