Description
Eagle Industries
Welcome to Eagle Industries, a startup company that brings you the best brand spanking new military hardware out there. If you're looking for an honest, environmentally responsible product; you've come to the right place!

Class description
Patrol boats (PB) are designed for local patrol duties and escorts. Being small in size and cheap in price, they can be built quickly and replaced just as easy. However, their small size limits weapons to mostly low calibre APS and small calibre missiles and torpedoes. With only light armour, they cannot take a beating and will rely on their small profile, stealthiness and mobility to survive.

The ship
The Triton class is one of the oldest still active ships in the fleet, together with the Blowfish. First designed in 2016, she's gone through extensive refits and modification programs to end up looking like she does today. The Triton hull stood as a basis for the Stalker, Banshee and Spectre classes of stealth ships; being sleek in design, hiding functional parts and using alloy for a lower radar profile. Though recent alterations have somewhat reduced the stealthiness of this ship, one can still see the link between it and its stealth cousins.

As a ship, she carries a single bow mounted gun, with 2 100mm guns firing at just under 50 RPM. A heavier punch is provided by a small VLS setup carrying 4 missiles. A single missile turret is useful against locking to targets with a low radar profile. Torpedoes and limited anti-missile defences complete the ship. As such, she is a relatively well complimented ship designed to engage in higher spectrums of combat, although she'll usually patrol the backwaters trying to ward off any invaders.

Basic stats:
Cost: 45k
L/W/H: 61m / 11m / 16m
Speed: 23 m/s
Firepower: 20
Armament:
Guns: 2x100mm in single turret
Torpedoes: 16xS in bow and stern launchers
Missiles: 4S in single turret, 4M in VLS
Armour: 2m alloy, nominal

Hi Krougal! That's been a while.. Nice to hear you found FtD again, even after all those years. And even if your ships wouldn't be using LUA scripts, I doubt they would perform well. Maintenance was critical, some older ship designs that weren't good enough are now ripe for the scrapyard too. I always found an interest in keeping things up to spec... Keeps the game interesting. Haven't been playing this game for a while but happy to hear my designs aren't sitting around! Have fun with them. Life's been treating me well, I hope the same goes for you. :)

Hey Eagle, so glad to see your designs around and up to date. I stopped playing for the same reasons as RichardDastardly, the PP debacle (crazy that was like 7 years ago now). Just started playing again, and of course none of my old stuff works since it was all based around ZerothAngel's LUA scripts. Between yours and Glory's collections I at least have a good foundation to work with. Hope life is treating you well!
