Description: [SIZE=10.5pt]Taking a classic old design of [/SIZE]renown[SIZE=10.5pt] and reworking every inch of the wiring, systems, layout, and framework while maintaining its outward appearance, Rendili Stardrive begins its resurface to the galactic scene with a modernized Hammerhead Cruiser. More heavily armed and shielded than the original design thanks to modern technology, but classified as a frigate with the original dimensions maintained, the Hammerhead making its reappearance is a frontline warship meant to tackle enemy fleets head on in groups to overwhelm larger prey. Boasting Rendili's proud Ion Engines as well makes this ship indeed down to the very core a product of one the famed Founding Shipwrights. It brings back a proud staple of Rendili's engineering while altering the key components to make it stand up to modern blueprints and avoid the issue of relic designs having their systems already known from history with the tweaks to modern systems.[/SIZE]

As someone who writes the Rendili Representative (when I manage to write someone other than Domino [never]), I whole-heartily approve of this. These and the Thranta have been among my classical favorites for a long time. Still needs a few tweaks though.

You appear to have 17/12 of the allowable defensive armaments. If you were to drop the heavy quad lasers to regular quads and then one additional defensive gun you would be within the limits. The maximum allowed back up hyperdrive is also 10 though this rarely gets used.

Fix those two things and you should be good!
