The Type 42 Escort Frigate “Coyote” is a defensive ship designed for escorting. Similar to the smaller Type 32, the Type 42 has multiple light turrets designed to attack small craft. Fielding over twice the firepower of the Caracal, the Coyote is extremely dangerous for fighters and bombers, and can be relied upon to defend valuable cargo ships from pirate raids. In fleet operations, the Type 42 is used to lead anti-fighter flotillas, often alongside two or more Type 32s, and is always commanded by a commissioned officer.

As a defensive ship, the Type 42 has a strong shield with a fast recharge. The Coyote is agile for it's size and reasonably swift, easily keeping pace with cargo ships and cruisers, but not as fast as most dedicated attack ships. During combat, commanding officers will often order the crew to shutdown the Type 42's boost thrusters to allow it's guns to fire for longer.


Gatling and Triple Beam Turrets will automatically engage hostile targets in range.
Octo-Beam Turrets will automatically engage the Spaceship Target.
Turn off Boost Thrusters (Hotkey 1) to dissipate heat faster.
When sitting in the pilot's chair in the CIC, the screen in front is for the targeting camera and the right is for the landing camera. The rear camera can be viewed on the screen above the console to the right.

Gatling guns can shoot holes in the ship from time to time.
When you activate the yoke, the lag is real.

Due to the Alpha status of Starship EVO, this ship will likely become obsolete quickly. I may update viable designs as the game progresses.

If you find a problem with the ship, let me know. If you find a bug, tell Tsuna.
