Description: The B-90 Roadblock is a Frigate that isn't scared to be on the front line, compared to your regular fleet. This vessel is all about protecting the line from attacks from all sorts of incoming fire to Ships, Missiles and those small pesky fighters that give large vessels a problem. It operates like your standard frigate having all the equipment needed for voyage, but is rather slow with it's armament choice and fitted with an advance targeting system to ensure that it's shots connect with the target. Despite it's overall prowess for all around combat, it still lacks the power to take on ships bigger than a frigate to be effective on one on one combat.

Mechanically, this is a solid sub. However, there are a few things we need to address.

• The description is lacking. I need more than two sentences. Talk about how the ship operates. Go into more details on its strengths and weaknesses.
• Another thing is that we've found that its very rare for ships to just get randomly picked up by factions. Is there no one who would buy this ship right now for their military?
• Frigates typically have several hundred crew members, not sixty. While crew counts can be brought down through automation, this is something that has to be balanced out in some fashion and typically this is done by counting the automation as an advanced system.
• ​Minor Nitpick; Please spell out the Manufacturer. Don't just abbreviate.

I've updated everything you asked for, but I'm currently looking into factions into buying my products soon. So can't really change it's Affiliation at the moment.

Another thing you're off on is the heavy warheads.

Unlike capital guns, a heavy warhead is not just twice as much as a normal warhead. A heavy warhead is actually four times as costly. So it would be twenty warheads or five heavy warheads.

Alright then. This looks to be in order. Nothing dangerous or unusual in the sub.

Approved, pending secondary approval.
