The Impulse class is an imperial warship that entered service in the middle of the Great Galactic War, and was designed to fulfill quite an important role. It was classified as a support cruiser due to being cruiser sized, but had a very slim hull design, with very durable armor, strong shields, some of the most effective anti strike craft / point defence weapons, and powerfull capital grade weapons, but quite limited in a lot of things as well. Its drawbacks included weakly armored frontal section, housing important systems and functions, the main battery guns were mounted in ball mounts, with their firing arcs restricted to the front of the ship.

specifications:
- 152m long, 24m tall, 58m wide
- armed with 4 triple L3R2 laser cannons mounted in ball mounts. Its secondary armaments consisted of a very large number of point defence guns, 14 to be exact, making it one of the most effective ships against strike craft in many fleets. It is also one of the rare ships housing torpedo launchers, with 6 torpedo launchers along its frontal "nose" section (of course not working ingame)
- average durability at 4.3 million hull hp, and 690k shield hp, the hull armor is very durable, but in the engine area a small layer of armor protects the reactors, shields and warp cores, making the ship very vulnerable to flanking attacks.
- decent speed, with 59m/s maximum speed, and average manouverability, comparable to the recently updated aggressor class
- the underside of the ship has 2 maglocks for docking strike craft. They are activated via buttons on the right of the control station, or the first button to the left, which activates both of them

next release: an ancient ship (basically a ship with different weaponary, statistics, and no shields, it is meant to be a ship design dating about a 100 years prior to the start of the GGW)
