[BLUE] Destroyer

Description
[NO DLC] [VANILLA]


Based on the versatile blue frigate, this ship has been overgunned to deal with any enemy capital ship swiftly. The prow hangar and bridge have been replaced with heavy armor and a railgun battery, while hydrogen thrusters provides far higher mobility than the original ion thrusters. Heavy gun batteries have been added all over the ship, focusing the forward arc.

However, all these changes have created a ship that is highly specialized and will struggle to deal with any fighter. While its forward facing is well armored, any strike from the top or bottom has a high chance to damage something critical or even split the ship in half. Its common to see these ships break formation and dodge desperately when fighter squadrons attack.

I had a lot of fun building this ship on a survival world. I want to add a torpedo builder/launcher.

I would like to echo Kamu's praise, but don't just rewrite the same comment, you really got the best out of the light frigate and I'm happy to be able to use this ship in the future

No DLC, Respectable )))

I love the fact that you try to replicate the RED/BLUE styled KEEN vessel look. Also it is very nice to see builds that are not filled with every dlc on the workshop. :cozyspaceengineersc:

Good job preserving all the design language from the original! I always felt unsafe in their long connecting corridors made of glass, but it's a key visual feature of Sol Co-op ships. I like that you used more armored windows here to suggest a heavier combat role.

I love the Keen ships for their clear use of armor layering, where the dark grays are the inner pressure vessel, and the colored painted stuff is on top of it, but allows the inner layer to show through in spots. You nailed this just right too, covering more vulnerable areas than the original Frigate but keeping the silhouette.

P.S. don't worry too much about the types arguing about future ship classification instead of talking about the build. I wish we could distract these kids by making them play actual space games where the Corvette < Frigate < Destroyer mass convention started, and they could go dump their nerd energy over there. :steammocking:

It’s funny because irl destroyers have the role of escorting larger ships and focusing on defending against smaller ships and aircraft. Ironically this is more of a frigate than the frigate it’s based off

A ship somewhere around a million kilos that has basically no anti fighter weapons cause its all medium/big guns. For destroying

What does the ship class "destroyer" mean to you?

And now...
For the WF2 equipped version of this.

Simple, Nifty Build, its a nice small armed ship. I never build armed ships.
Your ship inspired me to build my own in preparation in confronting Keen's
new enemy faction, the factorum... Good job on building this. :se:

Thanks I'll start with this ship in building my fleet of warships :selike:
