HMLS Zenith

Here's the ninth post of the third round of Avem Empire airships! I'll be doubling my fleet size in this update, so make sure to check out all the other designs.

Zenith is sister ship to Vengeance, since they're both built on approximately the same hull. They also use the same frag APS, though after that they diverge. Zenith has her main guns (two single 150mm 240rpm frag guns) mounted fore and aft, with a 100mm 400rpm kinetic APS superfiring over the front gun. She has a decent number of AA guns and a pair of large missile aerial torpedoes in a launcher amidships. Unlike her sister, Zenith is a broadsider that lacks most of Vengeance's extra defenses. Despite that, she's still relatively capable and can take on some fairly strong early game craft like the Plunderer and Eyrie. You can use her by herself or as an escort to assist fleets that might otherwise be lacking in DPS.

Like all my other airships, Zenith can go 50m/s and has a cruising speed set at 40m/s.

I have to give credit to 𝕰 𝖝 𝖎 𝖘 𝖙 𝖊 𝖓 𝖈 𝖊 for taking these screenshots for me. He did a phenomenal job with it. Also keep in mind that the colors and reflections and overall appearance of my airships will vary significantly based on your graphics settings, so feel free to mess with your settings and the paint colors until you get them to look how you like.

Also, feel free to join the United Builders Discord! We'll sometimes have weekly FtD events (adventure, campaign, or designer) and the community is great. It's also where I share a lot of my WIP pictures, so if you want to see more of my work you can find it there. Here's the invite: https://discord.gg/NdBpnFM8vF Just read the rules and send a message in #foyer and we'll let you into the rest of the server.
