Kestrel

Another salvaged space faring vessel, this one seems to be rather sturdy. Marking some beige and orange livery, and baring some sort of "Federation" alignment.

I welcome you to the Kestrel. Another FTL style sub that I made over the course of a few months. It is a jack of all trades master of none, and has a bit of everything for each role or player.

Currently, this is only a tier 1. However I plan on doing a tier 2 in the near future. I tried to aim for a tiny bit of everything but not be too overpowered. If you feel its overpowered, please let me know. The tier 1 isn't meant to be strong, and is just meant to show what is to come. Tier 1 is geared to 4-8 players, tier 2 is meant for 5-11.

Alarms extended is only required for the alarm functionality. You can choose to play without it, but you will not have any alarms/sirens. I put some wires and sirens in cabinets for you to place them if you wish. There is light indication if you don't place any.

Armament:
T1:
-2 Coilguns
-1 Discharge coil
-1 Dual pulse laser (Captain only, long recharge, and very narrow front facing angle)

T3:

-Large hardpoint on the bottom center
-Hardpoint in the aft lower for mechanics. It requires the bottom engine to be off for power.

Please note:
While most of these are coming, they are not necessarily set in stone. Also, before I move on to the T3 version, I want to fully complete the t2's detail, and iron out some functions.

T2:
-Updated Preview Image

T3:
-Another torpedo, or swapping one with an RC one
