Description: While a sturdy design, the Corusca-class Picket Carrier suffered from a distinct lack of anti-fighter weaponry. In tests, the Corusca's paltry armament of missile launchers proved to be less than stellar. As such, Subach engineers chose to slightly scale up the design, allowing for it to be far more useful than it previously was before. Flak guns now comprise a significant amount of its anti-fighter weaponry, while its hangar bay is itself capable of carrying over 33% more starships.
Similar to its predecessor, the majority of the weapons utilized on the Corusca II are projectile-based, meaning a little bit more power can be shunted to the shields and engines. Significant modifications to the design can be made, though, the Carrack-like hull allowing for a wealth of modifications to be adapted into the frame of the vessel. However, like the Corusca, the Corusca II has significantly limited longevity compared to other, more modern Subach ships.
