Description
Introducing the ONRC - ‘Frontier II’ class Grey Squadron Patrol Boat

Only Sparks of the Future , Warfare 2 and Heavy Industry are required for basic craft functions; however all DLC are recommended for Airtightness, Interior Usage and full Aesthetic value.



"Initially only a couple of ships were dispatched from grey squadron in search of the missing freighter due to its lower combat priority; however with growing likeliness of this disappearance having been an attack by SMI at the borders of our territory that quickly changed, and our unit was quickly redirected to the front as a show of force against our potential aggressors. At the time I was stationed on the Frontier (being the first of its class); which was fresh from the shipyards as a prototype retrofit - and as such was primed for a fight should it come to it - I don't think anyone onboard wanted that however, and in truth I don't think the men on board those SMI ships wanted that either; which is why despite being in range and within hammerlock, neither of us went in for the first strike. We were perhaps the most battle hardened fighting force in the ONRC; but we knew if the fight started here then the fallout would be immense - so we prayed the order would not come, not from our side at least... and I think it was likely our foe onboard their ships were praying to the same god as us, thinking the exact same thing 'don't let me die here today, don't make me the spark that lit the flame...' "

This is definitely one of my better revamps, and a lot more of a radical one than some of my other ships. With far improved turrets and overall a way better aesthetic look than the original. As a part of grey squadron it is somewhat of a "hero ship" with customised features to that one specific craft - thus some of the parts the original have (like the detachable clamp modules on the bow) are a little less effective.

With that being said I'd still certainly call it an improvement, and I hope you'd agree. Let me know if you enjoy it, and thanks for reading, Omega!

Not bad, though I think someone used some quarter panels to spot-weld your decoys in place, and if that 2nd port-welder is supposed to help the 1st one then they both might need "Help Others" to be enabled, if not then it will need a conveyor connection to work its own section.
