Description The Pride has a good passenger capacity, and reasonable cargo capacity. It’s made to go very long periods between stops, carrying twice the normal fuel reserve as most vessels per ton, as well as running fast and fuel efficient engines. It also carries a secondary fuel supply for refuelling its shuttles which could be used by the primary vessel if needed. Few people look closely enough at the Pride to understand its true purpose. The upper deck can hold six small craft, and the lower cargo deck is large enough to accommodate a 20-ton shuttle. These things add up to a micro-carrier in war terms. The design allows for three shuttles to be swapped out in favor of two standard cargo containers, increasing cargo capacity by 50 tons. It differs from the Mark I primarily in the internal layout. The large airlock has been removed, and a machine shop added aft. Externally, the bussard scoops have been moved forward of the docking arms. And the cargo cradles on the second deck enlarged slightly to allow two standard cargo containers to fit per side.
Strengths:
Tank- Can take the hits and punch through.
Hangar and Cargo- Capable of docking up to six shuttles or 4 cargo containers
I figure weaknesses would be.
Slow as a Barge- Not great with speed and maneuverability
Fuel Cells- Extra Fuel Cells mean a well placed shot could blow up the ship
