Description
Defiance class Frigate

Lore

As the fighting calmed down following TFK's capitulation it became advantageous to have long range warships to patrol the larger territory LKF now occupied. The Defiance is the perfect ship for such a role. Able to produce components and fuel for itself, carry auxilary vessels, house up to 6 crew, land on plantery bodies and defend itself it soon earned a great reputation among the fleet.

Defiance class Frigates have only seen light combat, mainly against REC scouting forces. With the current state of the war, it seems both sides are licking their wounds.

Description

The Defiance class Frigate is an excellent all round ship. It has production capabilities for components and fuel, as well as plenty of storage space for smaller craft. It has two jump drives, heavy armaments and comfortable crew quarters.

It also has landing gear, and the ability to fly in up to 1.00 G environments (unladen) though I would recommend adding a couple more thrusters if you plan to journey down to Terra/Triton often.

Statistics
  • 85 metres long

Well, after MUCH searching.. I finally found that on both sides there was a missing (unfinished, damn that unskilled welder guy!) conveyor in the middle preventing fuel from flowin'.. go figure. Going to take her for a spin now. Thanks again for building such a great ship. I was in ALL the areas of the ship hunting these issues.. found Reaver's little "Reaver was here" LCD. :) Cheers.

LOVE this ship. I'm a bit new still, but after having a few LKF smaller ships, just built this.. only not sure why I can't seem to fire up the 12 side thrusters (6 each side). I've checked and they do seem to all be linked to conveyors, I must be missing something. I hope to take her out soon. Any input is appreciated. Love all your stuff. Cheers, mate.

I classed her as a Frigate due to the limited interior, and her speed and ability to hit hard fast, rather than slug it out like traditional cruisers. If I were to make a light cruiser I think it'd definitely be bigger than this :)
