Solitude has it's purpose set clear - keep enemy at distance, obliterate vital ships in enemy fleet and if hostiles are closing in - jump away to safety.
This cruiser is mostly it's main weapon system - Gravity Accelerated Cannon MKIB. Extremly accurate and deadly, GAC can shoot with two types of shells - Armor Piercing (AP) and Armor Piercing High Explosive (APHE). It's not uncommon to pierce through heavily armored ship with only one shot.

GAC can be utilised in space warfare as well as in orbit-to-ground bombardment. Good RoF makes it hard for enemy to react fast enough.

Solitude is not meant to engage in direct combat. Thin armor, azure structure and tightly packet vital components makes this vessel very fragile. Utilising range advantage that GAC gives is crucial.

Fortunately ship's thrust is fairly good. It should outrun most of vessels of it's class. Two Jump Drives also help with avoiding battle's heat.

"Type: Drone [...];
Crew: 0;"

It's meant to be remote controlled.

@[NCF] LastWilliam14 My newest ship - Koschei is basically this concept done right :P I'm leav
Ing this one up, but in all honesty, this ship is not really a good craft xD

I know this is a little old, but now, the proper defense would be to lock the rotors, as a new glitch keeps grids from taking damage from stone-throwers.

@Captein Sure thing. Pick what you need.

Greetings my good friend. I've been wondering if you could 'borrow' me this ship along with a... few others for a promotional short video of our possible latest release. Their return is guaranteed. Most of them at least...

Been waiting for someone to come along with something like this... I thought i was the only one making gravity-based railgun ships!
