ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Strengths:
Armored - the ship has multiple layers of armor in various places, albeit scrapped/salvaged layers
Layered Shielding - The ship can have multiple layers of shields or have multiple shields that can be activated when another falls to recharge (4)
Tug Module - The Argosy can grab onto anything and tow them like a tug boat, as long as their maximum size does not exceed 350 meters.
Weaknesses:
Reduced Maneuvering - The combination of various starships has caused the design to have horrible maneuvering
Unstable Structure - If the ship receives too large of an impact, even with shields on, the structure is liable to break apart (Can not engage ships above 1.5km without immediate critical failure by received weapons fire)
Description: After the fall of Neldars old Corona-class Frigate, he needed a new personal ship. Knowing that the older models would require heavy retrofitting, perhaps even complete model remakes, Neldar settled for something cheaper... so he shopped around ship graveyards. The Argosy can be considered an extremely large Ugly classed Starship, cobbled together by various starships and starship components. To make up for its structural problems, the ship salvaged four deflector shield generator domes to give it shielding to survive in a fight, but it wasn't exactly designed for fighting. Unlike many retrofitted ships affiliated with Golan Arms, the Argosy is designed for travel, and disabling... or capturing, if you're not a military type. It isn't meant to destroy ships at all, although smaller ships could easier fall victim to it. Ships of it size or similar of standard configuration are the primary target of the Argosy, with excelled efficiency against ships under 100m, though no guarantees unless it actually hits and disables it. The Argosy, however, has no real easy way to actually board any vessel. Instead, it depends on its fighter crew or outside/external support from other ships. The Argosy is an experimental class and loadout testing the waters for capturing ships efficiently and with less damage, for sale or re-use.
Using the ships cargo containers, it can store captured fighters (But not act as hangars, only storage - no breathable air nor easy opening hatches/doors), or hold enough cargo as much as a Hajen-class Fleet Tender. It utilizes multiple parts and components from other ships, many being random or unknown from specific ships from being salvaged from various ship graveyards. Although, one important piece is the Bridge from Neldars old Corona-class. Since it was still intact, or mostly, it was the main reason for creating the ship, to preserve his old Corona's legacy. The forward bridge is secondary, used for chasing mode; chasing ships. The Corona bridge giving tactical view of the area.
