[UEF] Jason-Class Light Cruiser Mk2 (Homeworld Inspired)

Jason-class Light Cruiser Mark-II

---

The Jason-class Light Cruiser Mk2 is the newest Light Cruiser addition to the UEF Fleet. Taking lessons learned from the Beast War against the Reavers in the outer reaches, the Jason-class was retro fitted with additional close ranged weaponry and had 2 additional 230mm Cannons added to give her a total of 10 guns to bare in a broadside vs the original 8. She maintains her original 10x 230mm Fixed Guns in her Nose for softening up a target before turning to engage with her full compliment as she runs down an enemy vessel.

The Jason-class is an Agile Cruiser, but she lacks the heavy citadel that the Perseus-class Heavy Cruiser has and this requires Captains to rely more on her Speed and Agility than her Armor and Firepower. She now has 3 Jump Drives instead of 2, allowing her an 800km Jump range with a Standard Combat Load.

The Jason-class is also a Fleet Flagship for Forward Squadrons. She has 2x Antennas and a Laser Antenna to allow her to maintain communications across a System. One Antenna is for her Fleet Designation, the other for her Ship Designation. A Jason-class vessel usually operates with 1-2 Destroyers and an assortment of Frigates and Corvettes. She has 2 small Hangars aft on her underside to allow storage for 2x Groundhog or Spark class support ships. She also has 2 Basic Refineries and 3 Assemblers, 2 of which have a speed module. This allows her to produce necessary repairs for the smaller ships that she supports away from Forward Stations and Outposts.

As for Atmo Operations, she can handle the Moon, Mars, and Titan, but I do not recommend you attempting to use the vessel in anything beyond those 3. Using the NPC Mod gives it 300% more thrust power, so it can handle Earth Probably, but without that mod you are risking it crashing easily.

Jason is the first ship I designed a General Quarters Alarm, in the Port and Starboard Crew Quarters, there is a Sci-fi button panel. The Red button turns it on activating the Alarm and turning on the Red Lights. The Green Button turns it off. The CIC Main Chair also can activate it. I plan on retrofitting the other Capital Ships with this Alarm in the future so keep an eye out for Athena, Perseus, and Aegis getting this Alarm as well as others.

If you like it, give my UEF collection a Thumbs Up and Share with your friends.

(Disclaimer on Mods)
Salt Squad Mod Pack 5 and 2 are OKI's Weapons and Mexpex Industries balanced and adjusted on damage, updated sound files that I added from actual naval gun fire for OKI, and a few other times. You can run the ship with your own OKI/Mexpex mods as they are the same models/scripts other than minor tweaking.

NPC Android Crew is not required, it's just there for added power/thrust/gyro to make the ship more agile. None of the scripts on the ship are on the Crew so not loading it with it will not cause any issues.

Sci-fi Images Mod just lets me use a lot more images for the Sci-fi Buttons which makes labeling far better, but you can go without it and it will just remove those images off the LCD screens on the button panels.
