PvP - Cerberus - Class Destroyer

Description
Here we have a IMDC 'Cerberus' - Class Destyoyer made by J.D. Horx. This ship is a modified version which has been rebuilt for PvP survivability.

The original 'Cerberus' was a beast of a ship, but with the PvP refit, this ship will ruin your day!

To make this ship PvP capable several changes were made.

Weapons
The 'Cerberus' now has a turret repair system that can repair and replace turrets as they are knocked out and damaged. To also complement the new Repair system, more turrets have been added to give the ship better coverage.
- 12 Gatling Turrets
- 8 Missile Turrets
- 31 Interior Turrets (Point Defense: targets missiles, characters, small ships)

Propulsion
To give the 'Cerberus' better combat capabilities, Hydrogen thrusters have been added for the main engines and combat thruster. To keep these supplied with hydrogen, 3 tanks have been added to the rear of the ship near the main engines and one tank has been place a mid ship for the combat thrusters.

Plus 2 Jump Drivers have also been added giving the ship an extended range.

Power
To insure the ship never loses power, the reactors have been divided into three sections, upper and lower engineering, and a mid ship. Plus a battery system has been added which works great for emergency power during combat conditions.

Armor
This ship has an armored Citadel. with in the core of the ship is a heavy armored box in which all main systems are housed. Surrounding the armored citadel are varying layers of light armor, any where from 1-3 layers. This composite armor give the ship astounding survivability as the light armor will soak up damage and the armor core will protects all core systems.

Battle Tactics
The 'Cerberus' is designed to be a ship that can function well alone or in a group. Depending on the situation there are several ways you can use the 'Cerberus' to your advantage in combat, it all depends on what your going up against.

When up against small ships, just charge right in, this ship will eat them alive! With 12 Gatling and 28 interior turrets targeting incoming fighters they won't last very long.

The main battle tactic of this ship when engaging enemies is to keep the nose pointed at the enemy. With 3 forward rocket launcher and 8 missile turrets facing forward, any ship that is foolish enough to take the 'Cerberus' head on it in for a beating.

All in all if your looking for a all around capital ship for your fleet you can't go wrong with a 'Cerberus'.

The new 'Cerberus' does have a several improvements over the original. This version is a straight up brawler, designed to kick ass and take names and that she does very well. Perhaps I'll do a PvP refit of the new 'Cerberus' at some point.
