NCI Anich-class Patrol Ship

The Anich-class Patrol Ship is the latest offering from the NCI, designed to keep your local interests safe and secure from any would-be assailants. Designed for versatility, the Anich can be used for a variety of situations, including local colony/business security, anti-piracy measures, and even limited hit-and-run tactics against larger opponents (thanks to a bow-mounted volley of 114 rockets). The ship can be operated by a small crew or semi-autonomously via a single pilot and AI assistance (warning: improper AI programming and subsequent consequences are not covered by standard NCI Terms of Service/Sales Guidelines).

The Anich-class was built from the ground up set the gold standard for the next generation of NCI military starships. Designed to be more capable, reliable, and user-friendly for both the company's security forces and qualified consumers, the Anich can perform a variety of mission profiles with high success rates.

The Anich can comfortably support a crew of six, with the ability to have the ship run on a skeleton crew with combat-tested AI, and spare space in both its main hull and engine section for additional system installations (warning: any damage done to internal systems while installing custom components is not covered under the NCI Terms of Service/Sales Guidelines). The ship is capable of landing on most planets, but anything beyond 1.0 g's is not recommended.

The Anich has been set up to be fully autonomous in the hands of a skilled user, with all the necessary blocks provided to make this a large but capable drone. Unfortunately I lack both the skills and patience to program these myself, so the AI will have to be set up manually. The ship also comes with a throttle computer to help control speed, and basic arguments have been provided to enable or disable this feature. Beyond that, the Anich is largely designed as a good "plug-and2play" ship (or paste-and-play?).

The ship is mostly survival-ready, but the sub-grid turrets cannot be made in survival (without sub-grid printing mods or trying to make them manually). I may release a version of the Anich with regular turrets to make the ship survival-ready, but that will be determined at a later date in time.

This is the first ship I've gotten the time to create and publish in a good few years, but I plan to release more in the near future if all goes well outside of the game.
