Knightmare Defense Industries presents the Monoceros Class Patrol Ship. While KMI has numerous large warships available, it has been lacking on the smaller, less expensive side. The Monoceros was designed to fill this gap. Dubbed "the little unicorn(s)" by their crews, the Monoceros is relatively lightly armed and unsurprisingly cramped with only 4 decks. While the ship carries a Jump Drive and Survival Kit, the class is intended to fulfill local or escort missions with other ships. The class is named for the constellation Monoceros, which is Greek for unicorn.

The Monoceros uses Ion thrusters for propulsion, with 2 Large and 2 Small thrusters facing forward, and 6 small in all other directions. The Jump Drive has a maximum range of 2,000 KM. The ship is protected by 4 Gatling Turrets, 3 Interior Turrets, and 4 Rocket Launchers. Power is supplied by 13 Small Reactors and a Battery backup system. The ship's hull is entirely light armor, favoring acceleration over protection. There is a single O2/H2 Generator on board and a Survival Kit.

The ship is built fully vanilla and survival ready, with an interior in the style of "The Expanse." I use 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. I used some of Whiplash141's scripts on the ship, including their braking script for "flip and burn" situations, and a few of their mods for taking the screenshots. The mods I used to assist with the screenshots came recommended by Taidyr, who makes some fantastic content as well. I used Darth Biomech's Milky Way Skybox mod as well. Links below. I got inspiration for this ship from ships shown in The Expanse RPG book, I highly recommend The Expanse's books and show.

Its always nice to do what you like. I like building small ships. I don't do it nearly often enough. The restrictions that such a small size impose on engineering and the difficulties in overcoming that are something I thoroughly enjoy. The second thing I really like is making hilarious, or, at least hilarious to me, jokes. I love calling this the little unicorn, and the few of you who know me a bit should know exactly why I find that funny, probably because I'll have shared it with you. Anyways, this ship is not big or particularly impressive or very well armed. Kind of restricted with how much I can do with a design this size if I want to include an interior, which I do. I could probably fit twice as many turrets on it, but it just wouldn't look as good to me and would feel like gun spam anyways. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
