Knightmare Industries presents the Myrmidon Class Cruiser, one of its latest generation of warships. Originally intended as a smaller companion to the larger cruisers, the Myrmidon grew into a cruiser sized design itself through the required use of larger engines and a greater arsenal of weaponry. Now it servers as a more modern supplement to the Octavia and Kirin cruisers. A particular focus on combat ability has been taken, with the hull being made entirely of heavy armor and increased spacing between turrets. Originally there were even plans for a self repair system for the main armaments. The armor comes at the price of speed and maneuverability. The ship is named after the Myrmidons of Greek mythology. In Homer's Iliad, the soldiers commanded by Achilles are Myrmidons.

The Myrmidon uses Hydrogen and Ion as primary thrust, with purely Ion thrusters for maneuverability. It carries 5 Hydrogen Tanks for fuel, supplied by 15 O2/H2 generators. Power is supplied by 5 Large Reactors and a substantial Battery backup system. The ship is equipped with 29 Jump Drives, giving it a maximum jump range of 3,040 Km. The Myrmidon is armed with 29 Gatling Turrets, 28 Missile Turrets, 12 Interior Turrets, and 24 Rocket Launchers. The ship is mostly Heavy Armor, reinforced in critical areas, with few uses of Light Armor. The ship has a hangar for auxiliary craft, carries 1 Assembler, 1 Basic Refinery, 1 Survival Kit, and 1 Medical Room,.

The ship is built fully vanilla and survival ready, with an interior in the style of "The Expanse." I also used a light changing script to switch around the interior light settings. Its an older script and I couldn't find the original creator. The script was updated by ColTeH for my use. There are also a few other program and timer blocks if you need them. You may have noticed, but the ship uses DLC blocks.

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.

Technically I finished this ship a while ago, but the design wasn't quite right and I ended up modifying it. Those modifications were mostly in extending the engines to better fit the aesthetic. Oh, right, and this design was also unusual for the (Insert colorful metaphor here) triangular hull. Those are hard to do, but I do like how it turned out. I always like to try to do unique designs, and that seems fairly unique to me. The modifications I made did make a small mess of things inside, and while I tried to catch anything problematic, I'm not perfect, so let me know if something needs fixing. The ship name also gave me trouble, because I wanted to name it after a certain someone, but I'd already used the ideal name for that on a previous design. So while looking through the usual mythology, I came across Myrmidons, which seemed interesting, and then the following clinched it. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Myrmidon later came to mean "hired ruffian". That mostly, but not quite, fits what I wanted. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this design, and I'm always happy to hear feedback. Happy New Year!
