Strengths and Weaknesses
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]+[/SIZE] [SIZE=9pt]Pulsed Ion Engines provide unmatched speed & maneuverability (at this class) and allow for more power to be diverted to critical systems without incident[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]+ Reinforced hull offers stronger defense against kinetic and explosive strikes (I.E missile and slug fire)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]+ Hypermatter Annihilator core allows for extraordinary amounts of energy to be produced [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]+ The command deck is found in the middle of the ship, a distinct feature of a SDE made ship which adds a layer of defense for the captain and his men during battle.
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Due to the reinforced hull the ship suffers speed problems, keeping the ship from gaining the substantial speed advantage it usually would with the PIE system installed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] The pulsed Ion Engines are under a lot of mechanical stress during operation, making them a structural weak point[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Hypermatter cores are extremely volatile and when damaged tend to vaporize the vessel within moments, often leading to loses with all hands.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] With the command deck being in the middle of the ship, the flight team must rely on cameras on the hull for visual identification. These camera can, in turn, be destroyed during battle.[/SIZE]
Description
[SIZE=9pt]“We stand on the brink of a new frontier, one littered with technologies never before imagined by the organic mind. And leading us into this new frontier will be all of you here, at Stargo Defense”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]– Zev Stargo upon company merger with Cerberus Defense Developments[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Just as the late founder of SDE, Zev Stargo, had announced to his development team upon the merger of Stargo Enterprises and Cerberus Defense; the company now leads a new technological frontier. With the Pulsed Ion Engine system prepared to be implemented into new starship designs, the development team wasted no time creating a state-of-the-art war machine for the Ession Reformation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]This vehicle is the first in the line of planned vessels regarded as the “Crusade-Line” all of which are contractually exclusive to the Ession Reformation. As per the contract, the Ession Reformation has exclusive purchase rights to the Pulsed Ion Engine technology at this time; the “Infinite-Psalm” being the first example of them exercising this right.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Thanks to the PIE system, the Infinite Psalm-Class Heavy Cruiser has a high maneuverability advantage over ships using standard Ion Engines. On a normal basis, it would also have a speed advantage. However, speed has been cut down due to two traits.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]1. The extremely durable but hefty laminasteel frame increasing its kinetic defense[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]2. The hull being lined with thin layers of Agrinium for light defense against scanners [/SIZE]
