[UEF] Aeneas-class Heavy Frigate Mk1 [MODDED] [Homeworld Inspired]

Aeneas-class Heavy Frigate Mark-I

---

The Aeneas-class Heavy Frigate is a local product of the Korrus Shipyards, the same producers of the Aegis-class Destroyers. The Aeneas is large enough for some Navies to consider her a Light Destroyer, especially considering her jump range and firepower. The UEF classifies her as a Heavy Frigate as her empty weight is only 2240 Metric Tons, and the minimum tonnage for classification is 2500 metric tons.

She is armed to the teeth, and for good reason. She is designed to operate in solo or in a wolfpack with another Aeneas to hunt down and engage enemy shipping and logistical supply lines. As such, she is designed for speed with a fair amount of armor to protect her engineering section. Her long jump range is to allow her to quickly jump into combat and engage an enemy convoy and quickly overtake them or out run and jump out away from her escort.

The Aeneas is also Atmo Capable; however, take care if not coming in too fast, especially on planets like Pertam due to the distance before the Atmo Thrusters can become active or else you will crash. With the NPC Mod she is far better able to handle it due to the 300% Thruster power.

The ship also has a General Quarters alarm like most Capital Ships, making her one of the only Non-Capital ships with it. She lacks a large cargo container, but has 29 smalls allowing you to move around cargo as needed. The ship is also affectionately called the "Red October" because before I had put turrets on her, everyone in my Clan kept saying she looked like a Typhoon class Submarine.

Unlike the NO-Mods version, for some reason as of Aug 28th, 2021, the 3x XGS-20's are working on this one. But when I use the exact same timer block setup and BP on the UN-Modded, it refuses to properly activate. *Tosses up hands*. Eventually I'm going to look into putting a Guided Missile system on it using the welders and that will change things up a bit, but that will be a short period as I am still designing a few other items.

The Modded version has Defense Shields, giving her 4.1 Million shields with NPC Mod adding more power, without it it has around 1.7-1.8 Million Shields. She has a wide range of 122mm Guns allowing it to engage from all sides with a blistering amount of them, and her 25mm Close Range Defense helps keeps small targets off the ship as well.

As always, if you like her, give her a thumbs up and share.

(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.
