Power Core - Near the front of Destiny, there is an oversized power core that provides power to the engines, defense systems, and other important functions of the ship. To work optimally, the core has to burn enough fuel that transparent and corrosive fumes come out of the engine, so the engine is partially exposed to the outside environment, allowing fumes to escape before they collect.
Command Bridge - The bridge of Destiny has two floors of similar structure. The bottom floor is for defense systems, engines, and power management, while the top floor is for navigation and offensive coordination.
Strengths:
- Command Center: Destiny has advanced communications systems and is capable of swift and efficent coordination between different parts of the ship in the heat of battle.
- Carrier: Unlike Defiance, Destiny is capable of holding starfighters in multiple different setups, greatly increasing its recon effectiveness.
- High-Powered: Due to the size of Destiny's power core, it is able to fly at a maximum speed about two/thirds that of an X-Wing.
- Maximum Space: Destiny is a fully military vessel, and does not have any of the business components that Defiance had, allowing for full use of all space in the ship.
- Weakling: Destiny has much less armor than Defiance, and is reliant on support vessels to engage larger warships. Destiny has very little arament for a frigate, and even though it can handle a squadron of starfighters well, other frigates and larger vessels can quickly decimate it at medium to close range.
- Aim for the bridge: The command bridge of Destiny is much more exposed than Defiance's command bridge, and if the Destiny's sheilds go down, the command bridge can be destroyed completely by a single starfighter/
- Weak Point: The exposed power core is extremely vulnerable if Destiny's sheilding is penetrated, and a single missile impact can instantly rip the ship in half and generate fires all throughout the vessel.
