Strengths:
- (+) Jack of All Trades: Designed to be fully accepting of all CEC, Silk, ICE, Rekali, Mandal Hypernautics, ArmaTech and Coronet Hypernautics upcoming line, this ship is the epitome of customizable, and it is said no two are alike, down to the owner requested paintjobs offered on each one.
- (-) Master of None: Because of it being so open-sourced, it comes factory stocked for doing a little bit of anything, but not really being good at anything, just okay. This can be a problem for the inexperienced pilot.
The Slice Hound, or 'the Hound', is not a terribly pretty or sleek frieghter in aesthetics. But, as can be said of so many Corellian design, it has it where it counts.
For the first foray into ship building after taking over the company, Cal went with a freighter that is easily the envy of any smuggler or ne'er do well, armed and agile and plenty of room for customization. This vessel features an X2 I-S4D reactor and 400 tons of cargo lift capacity, able to hold the pilot and 3 passengers, and consumables enough for six months.
However, without an experienced pilot who knows just what after market parts to fit on the thing, it will inevitably suffer a bit as it is decidedly 'flat' in performance in stock setup, a purposeful decision by the design team of Coronet Hypernautics.
Development Thread: If Needed
Intent: A mass-produced, highly customizable freighter able to pose as civilian and hold it's own fighting.
Who Can Use This: Anyone who buys it
