Modernized (Missile) Variant Here!

The PCF-12 "Fender" is a dirt-cheap patrol craft that excels at long range reconnaissance, light vehicle interdiction and scouting. Coming stock with basic production facilities, a 2000km rated Jump Drive, and an armament and communication system that punches well above its size, the PCF-12 is more than capable of self-sufficient operation (in gravity up to 2.5G) and makes an excellent starter vessel. Coming in at a highly compact 18 blocks long and 7 blocks wide, any starter ship-printer should be more than capable of fabricating the "Fender".

• Artillery Turrets: 2x semi-recessed forward turrets.
  
• Gatling Turrets: 2x elevated rear-guard turrets.

• All Environments: Capable of flying on all planets/moons up to 2G and in any orientation up to 1.2G.
  
• Full Size Antenna: Full sized antenna uncommon on crafts of its size. Easily swapped for fixed firing weapons.
  
• Furnished Interior: Full interior with survival kit, beds, lockers etc.
  
• Jump Drive: Integrated jump drive for long distance scouting.
  
• Highly Nimble Design: While not fantastically durable, the Fencer is capable of out-maneuvering virtually any foe (including most fighters) while keeping its two artillery turrets easily on target.
  
• Survival Ready: Fully plumbed and survival ready. Easily printable by large grid ship printers.

• PCU: 3448
  
• Block Count: 295
  
• Non-Armor Blocks: 186
  
• Triangles: 534,414

• Lifting Capacity: 600,000 kg

No scripts are included by default. Should you choose to include vehicle scripts there is a single empty programmable block.

This ship is vanilla and uses a number of DLCs. Sparks of the Future, Warfare I, Heavy Industry, and Decorative Blocks I and II. This ship will require the interior to be rebuilt should you choose the play without these, but the core functionality remains.

This ship takes a tremendous amount of inspiration from "Corvette RED" by Keen SWH and Drui. I would've never had the idea for this form factor without that so check it out here.

I'm always open to suggestions or ideas so please let me know if you have any! Much like the Marshall, this was borne of necessity from a modded survival game - although this has been vanillified. If you notice any glaring issues with the craft that might have slipped by me, please let me know so I can fix them ASAP.
