STRENGTHS

• Anti-Fighter Specialty: The Crusader-class of ship has always been focused on anti-fighter warfare, and the newest addition; the CrusaderME-class has taken this to new heights. AI assisted aiming mechanisms are able to calculate fighter trajectories and make sure the ship's weapons are able to blast any fighter out of the void.

WEAKNESSES

• Small Guns for a Big Ship: With such a focus on anti-fighter warfare the CrusaderME-class lacks any large hitting weapons to attack ships larger than itself. While the Point-Defense Laser Cannons can do okay damage to other corvettes (assuming their shields are down) they lack sufficient firepower to damage larger ship's shield systems or dent their thicker hulls. Against larger ships the CrusaderME-class must rely on its limited supply of Torpedoes.

DESCRIPTION
The Crusader-class series of ships have been a staple of Mandal Hypernautics since the reign of the Galactic Empire. Each generation is iterated upon to be made slightly better, though modern technology within the galaxy has made some of the Crusader's once impressive feats now galactic-standard. The CrusaderME-class ship seeks to put an end to the Crusader line's recent string of mediocre additions and put the ship back into the spotlight of galactic warfare.
