RFS - Wraith

"We didn't see it until it was too late."

The Renegade Fleet Systems Wraith Class Frigate was designed to combine the speed and agility of a corvette with the survivability of a frigate. The ship's low profile, high speed, and heavy armor make it a difficult opponent to fight. Against larger warships it can use it's high velocity guns to erode the enemies shields from a distance while setting up to make high speed passes against weak spots. It's speed can rival some fighters (210+ m/s on the deck) and anything it can't keep pace with will most likely still be in the 8+ km range of the primary guns. Regardless, the 2m thick armor covering the top and bottom of the hull means that it's safe from smaller caliber weapons while the sides range from 1m of armor around non critical systems, to 3m in some spots near the CIC / bridge. As an added layer of protection the shield has 482000hp and a 12 sec recharge.

Controls:
1 - Locks down the ship, airlock doors can't be opened and the rear computer core can't be accessed
2 - closes and opens the blast doors covering the windows
Primary - Center line beam cannons

Pros:

- High speed in and out of Light Cruise
- Low profile compared to other frigates
- Heavy armor and shields for a ship of its size
- System redundancies, a reactor and shield array at both the bow and stern of the ship
- Good mix of long, short, and medium range weapons systems
- Large fields of fire

Cons:

- Small internal space due to size and amount of armor
- Lower overall DPS compared to regular frigate vessels
- Large engines create a large weak spot in the rear
- Buried bridge means there are no windows, only cameras and 3rd person view
- Partly exposed boarding elevators
- Only one airlock amidship

Tactics:

- Use hit and run tactics since not many ships will be able to keep up in light cruise
- Use the speed and maneuverability to avoid taking damage and attack enemy weak spots with the center mounted beam cannons
- Engage at close range and high speed to deal maximum damage while minimizing incoming fire
- Run down anything too slow to escape (evil laughter)

Weapons:

- 4 Center line mounted beam cannons
- 8 quad barreled high velocity cannons meant for long range engagements, max range ~8km
- 4 quad medium range cannons, max range 2.7km
- 2 mk2 quad beam turrets for high damage at medium to close range, max range 2km
