Created by Captain Aedan Miles to be the perfect complement to his Dragoon’s Nest an Impetus-class Frigate as such some of the first ones off the line were immediately taken by Aedan and any of the Corsairs that wish for one.

A few things:

• The image doesn't correspond with the length & width. This is longer than it is wide, which is the opposite of the image.
• Production needs to be either: Unique, Minor, or Mass Produced.
• What armament setting are you using? Balanced, Heavy Guns, or Carrier?

@Me when finished.

Sorry about that these resubmissions are frustrating and it is using the Balanced armament setting.

Using the balanced armament setting allows:

• 8 Turbolasers, 2 Warhead Launchers, and 4 Quad Lasers/Flak Guns/Point Defense Emplacements

OR

• 20 Quad Lasers

Define which option you're going to be using and the modifications to it.

my bad I thought the OR 20 quad lasers was instead of using the quad laser/flak/point defense emplacements. I will just modify those into it then.

Looks fine to me, please fill in a Cargo Capacity and we'll be fine.
Please note that you don't have to follow the armament word for word. You can add/remove turbolasers or other weaponry as long as they don't go past the ceiling set by the guide. You could completely remove the Warhead Launchers and then you could re-allocate that into making a few more turbolasers or something.
