YICHF Alacrity

Tribute to upcoming Expanse Season 4 and Rocinante.

Heavy armoured frigate with vertical layout perpendicular to main thrust vector. Similar to previous YIC design "Maximia Maro", "Alacrity" is streamlined for ease of manufacture, operation and do not have small sub grids. Engine section have powerful quad hydrogen thruster pack, however heavy armour takes it toll and ship rely on gravity drive to make frigate real dogfight unit. Frigate can land on any moon and operate independently from any support vessel.

"Alacrity" heavy frigate is more similar in handling to heavy fighter and require some piloting skills in low gravity. Smart captain would use forward armaments, decoys and armour to disable most dangerous targets while keeping majority of main and auxiliary systems in the back out of enemy reach. "Alacrity" is capable taking on much bigger opponents, however would struggle against multiple opponents.
