Strengths:
- Hidden in Plain Sight: Utilizing an older design, the Sensor Jamming allows the freighter to get in close to unleash its payload. In addition, each M-G-2 General-Purpose Warhead Launcher is hidden from plain view, inside the cargo containers.
- Overwelming Firepower: The amount of missiles it shoots out at any given time is unbelievable, making it an extremely deadly foe from afar or up close for even Star Destroyers classification.
- Tactical Upgrade: It has been redesigned with new shield systems, new electronics and even including the seismic missiles, making it even more painful to fight than before.
- Limited Ammunition Stores: While it can fight for a while, it needs to have a restocking ship in order to keep being used in battle, limiting it to the rear of the fleet if used in a fleet action and if it runs out of ammunition, it is a sitting duck.
- It Moves Slower than Most Heavy Freighters: With all the upgrades done to the weapon systems, it meant scaling back on engine power to the extent that it moves slower than most heavy freighters on the current market. More so, the maneuverability is so dreadful that commanders have to take care of starfighters getting to close to blind spot areas.
- Exposed Hanger Bay: When the door is open, it leaves for a very exposed area inside due to how large the hanger bay area is. It can be shot inside for devastating effects, possibly even hitting the command center from inside.
Description:
Redesigning one of his more iconic Heavy Freighters, known as the Baleen-class Missile Frigate, the work was already cut out for him. Gone were the days of the simple shipwright and was now on a much higher stage than before, meaning designs change based on newer and growing technologies. Working in conjunction with Alban Roble, the design saw a redesign and soon a massive uplift that has not been seen in over a decade. Armed with better LS1 Hailfire Missile Launcher system, it has been better designed than before to take down Capital Ships, much more efficiently and quickly as possible. Starfighter capacity has been increased also, having much more room to maneuver in than before and having the ability to better defend itself.
With newer tech being bolted on, new shield systems and even new missile guidance systems with a wide array of missiles, it was time to test it out against the enemies of the Elysium Empire.
