  • Alusteel stabilizers aren’t particularly strong and when destroyed make the ship unable to maintain stability in atmo.

  • Fixed weapons, must face enemy ship to fire.

  • Vulnerable from the bottom, rear, and broadsides.
Description: The Carnage-class is the latest ship to enter the Primeval Fleet and armed to the teeth with mass-driver weaponry. Based on the Mendacity-class corvette, this heavy frigate was originally designed to replace the deluge-class frigate as the primary assault ship of the fleet but due to design flaws resulting in fixed weapons the Carnage-class was repurposed to less demanding roles and produced in less numbers. Instead this warship is primarily used for patrols and exploration, occasionally supporting larger fleet operations as an escort ship. Despite having a small armament the mass-drivers are particularly effective against capital ships; making this frigate a dedicated anti-capital frigate amongst its other roles. The Carnage-class is also capable of entering the atmosphere making it a suitable invasion ship to support landing craft.

Passenger capacity: 150
Consumables: 6 months
Crew: 60 (min), 200 (max)
Cargo: 240 tons

Development Thread: If necessary
Intent: To diversify the fleet and create a proper anti-capital ship.
Who Can Use This: The Primeval

A simple ship for a simple faction's fleet. I like it. Not too many armaments and it has more than enough weaknesses to counter for those. Good luck with the storywriting.

Pending approval.
