Description
"All Frontiers Are Yours!"

Designed to fulfill the needs of a Large, Modular, Multi-mission Spacecraft across the sol system, the MCS-170 'Escortcraft' is a design that balances between lethality & modularity to create a perfect ship for all mission, task, or deployment.

MCS-170 (stands for "Multipurpose Combat Ship - 170 Meters") came in three different variants, in which is MCS-170C, MCS-170F, and MCS-170P.

General Information

MCS-170C
This is the standard variant of the MCS-170 family. Equipped with Lasers, Railguns, and Aether SS-10A Anti-ship Missile.

MCS-170F
The Extended-Range variant of MCS-170C. Providing more Delta-v's, thus increasing the ship mission deployment range and time. Weapon specifications are similar to MCS-170C.

MCS-170P
A long range heavy patrol version of the MCS-170C, with reduced Laser mount, weakened it's precision-strike/missile defense capability, and reduced engine count to 2 instead of 4, which makes the ships less maneuverable in combat but benefitted of having more Delta-v's than MCS-170C. The ship missile solution are also replaced with KAD-5 C1 KKV's instead of Aether SS-10A. These KKV's, or specifically KAD's (Kinetic Assault Devices) are mainly used as anti-missile interceptions, and/or decoys for hostile long-range barrage of missile's or drones.

I actually have been aware of this situation, and i've been making some changes on my future design. Such as a pointy nose ships, and relocating the crew module into the more middle sections of the ships. Thank you for the input!

Hey, quick suggestion: the nose laser turret makes the nose armor flat. As soon as the nose laser gets destroyed by enemy fire, the flat nose armor easily gets penetrated, and the crew compartment just behind it is destroyed. Pointy nose ships survive far longer than blunt ones in gunfights.

Hello there. I just checked out that i've been uploading my workshop file the wrong way. Sorry for being so amateur hehe...
But, i've updated the workshop file and it should be accessible now. This design does not required any mod, but i recommend some AI improving/overhauling mods for gameplay improvement.

Anyway, thank you very much for noticing me about this, and i hope you could enjoy the ships now :D

does this have dependencies? like other mods? i don't see it anywhere in my ships.

More like inspired, but yes.

These ships, and more in the works, is going to be mostly based/inspired from Theo Bouvier's Lunar War project (at least from its looks & design).

Just to ask are these ships based on Theo Bouvier Lunar wars?
