StarTrek: Kai Class Escort

The Kai Class Escort Ship

Originally Inspired by the Saber Class from Star Trek. I found that the more pronounced Nacelles just felt better, and allowed for more options. So, I deviated to follow that aspect of the build. As such the name of Kai fits the more pronounced nacelles and secondary hull.

This specific version has been totally reworked, to be an early game combat ship. With the ability to simply modify material to keep her relevant into the mid game and beyond. To, inforce the starting ship position, she doesn’t have any shields. However, there is a section of stacked iron framework blocks colored Eternal Wheat, to bring her up to shape once you have access to naonite. With enough power in her base configuration to allow for such additions, and then some.

She fields 6 turret hardpoints, 4x2 Slot, 2x1.5 Slot. Split between the top and bottom of the hull. Then 2 coaxial hardpoints, at .5 slot on each side, in front of the nacelles. On top of the already excessive loadout options, she has 2 torpedo tubes, with storage for 55 additional torpedoes. If you have the ship ai controlled, I recommend only arming the top turrets. This way the ai should align properly. Or just the coaxial weapons, however it doesn’t have the HP to tank a lot of damage.

Stats:

- Composition = Titanium Armor Hull w/ Glow Accents, Titanium Function Blocks, Iron Framework, Iron Inertia Dampers
- Block Count = 1,420
- Cost = 82,573 Credits, 10,651 Titanium, 5,640 Iron
- Hitpoints = 7.89K Hull HP (w/ Naonite Shields 8.08K Hull HP and 18.91K Shield HP)
- Slots = 3
- Base Game Movement (w/ Gyro conversion) = 1.03 Yaw, 0.92 Pitch, 1.01 Roll. Acceleration of 293. Deceleration of 112.
- Xavorion modded movement (Current configuration) = 2.54 Yaw, 2.02 Pitch, 2.12 Roll. Acceleration of 187, with a Velocity of 651. Deceleration of 112.
- Crew requirements = 1 Engineer, 2 Mechanics. Fully modified requiring 2 additional Engineers Total crew space of 15.

Use Case:
Early game Combat ship, light escort, Swarm Tactics, Whatever you want.

Caveats:

- Xavorion build. However since it is such a small ship there is little issue with bouncing between modded, and base game flight systems. For the Base game(where you have Gyro’s), simply convert the blocks colored in Solar Peach Puff, which are currently directional thrust, to gyros.

- I do not opt to build in Hyperspace Blocks, instead relying on subsystems to boost jump range.

- Your armor pattern may vary. I am using a modified version of ATJ Texture Pack by \|BD|/

Notes:

- If running Xavorion, she is a M2 Medium Intercepter. With shields, a M2 Heavy Intercepter.

- To convert the blocks mentioned, only select the primary color, the secondary color is left to base material.

- When converting both gyros and shields, you will require an additional 212,964 Credits, 25,236 Naonite, and 560 Titanium.
