ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- 3K40 Targeting System: Used generally on military bases, the software allowed multiple weapons to convert onto various targets or concentrate fire on a single target. This is to help supplement the 840.z Holo-Targeting Suite when ordered to converge all weapons on one enemy point. (x)
- HIMS: Allows one to possibly escape from a gravity well generator and hopefully keep being the Hit and Run Queen! (x)
- Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor: The Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor detects fluctuations in the local area though not of its destination nor the type of ship. This sensor is used for the purposes of intercepting or patrolling heavily guarded sections of space. Also used to prevent being ambushed via hyperspace, giving some notice for stations to be at the ready. (x)
- Maneuvering Jets: How the starship is so agile, placed in nearly every location to great degree. (x)
- Sublight Acceleration Motor (SLAM): Allows the Frigate to go into a boost, propelling itself further onto others. (x)
- Stygium Cloaking Device: Allows the starship to cloak and sneak past unsuspecting enemies. (x)
- Nightshadow Coating: A sensor disruptor when aimed towards the frigate as it would take some time to pinpoint. (x)
- The Hit and Run Queen!: It has the speed and maneuverability unlike most of its size to outrun and outmaneuver its foes.
- Fast Jump to Lightspeed!: Jumping to one section or another is quick but so is the microjump aspect as it can jump around ever thirty seconds. It will be very difficult to catch this frigate.
- Multiple Transponder Codes: It has at least twelve identities ready at any moment, allowing some confusion at customs or simply waltz past them without much trying.
- SLAM Overheat: Pressing that button will increase speed but not for very long. If overused, can destroy the entire engine complex in one go.
- Stop Pulling the Lever!: While it can microjump quickly and go to lightspeed in a hurry, overuse can potentially jam the hyperspace lever and launch the starship straight into uncharted territory or possibly into a star or a black hole.
- Full Frontal Assault Only: Its weaponry only aims at the front, meaning it must rely on its defensive countermeasures to fend off any enemies on any other side than the front.
When contracted to create a new ship for Loreena, it came to as a surprise it came from the daughter of a very old client. Happily taking it on and with his factory still in ruins, he would pull out all the stops to create a starship unlike any other. The biggest keys were to ensure it would constantly have great speed and maneuverability while also making sure it still had teeth. Adding in the common tools such as the 3K40 and the Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor, he would also install Maneuvering Jets, the SLAM and a large coating of Nightshadow. Finally figuring out how to do a proper Cloaking Device helped matters as well as it could finally cloak right though it required a little assistance from the customer herself.
The microjump portion was what was the real challenge. He rarely had to create a ship going .3 in lightspeed but it was doable but with a large catch for the amount of times wishing to jump. The lever which controlled the entire electrical compartment for navigations had a breaker made for it specifically and it could easily flip the breaker if done to often meaning if it launched forward, it would go somewhere not intended and possibly off course. That and with all the weaponry forward, it would require the Delight to always be in a advantageous position to fight.
Regardless, the Delight was made in record time and was shipped off quickly so he could focus on rebuilding his factory...if someone would stop destroying it that is.
