ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Anti-Sensor Coating.
• Short-Range Sensor Jammers.
• Thrust Trace Dampeners.
• Gravitic Modulator.

Strengths:

• Powerful. The Jindo carries a very powerful payload and can take out many targets in only a short period of time.
• Stealth. Passive stealth systems ensure it won't show up on any sensory equipment. The black fiberplast will make it more difficult to detect visually.

Weaknesses:

• Maneuverability. Once it momentum and direction is set the Jindo has a difficult time adjusting otherwise. Many ships of its class can out-maneuver it rather easily.
• Numbers: You won't see a lot of them in the field. They are specialized and have a limited number in their squadron.
• Hyperdrive: As with many of Didact's navy, the Jindo is only in possession of a rudimentary hyperdrive for emergencies. It needs the support of a dedicated carrier to get anywhere in a reasonable timeframe. Without it, its basically a sitting duck.
• Stealth. But its not a full-stealth package and someone with a good eye, expecting it, can see it coming unlike if it was using a dedicated stygium cloak.

Description: One of the things the burgeoning Didact navy was missing was a dedicated bomber that could take out fortifications and other heavily-defended points of contention. The Jindo is the answer to this need, but churned up to eleven. First and foremost was the design decision to make it a stealth unit, Didact ensured that every angle was studied and taken care of. Thrust trace dampeners, gravitic modulators, a fiberplast hull and sensor jammers to boot ensure it will keep a low-profile from detection.

It has a very powerful payload, modular to a degree, that allows it to breach many heavily-fortified locations on the surface as well as pose a real danger to capital ships if not checked. But as with many of Didact's navy, the bomber only possesses a basic hyperdrive and its maneuverability is nothing to talk home about.

Without the support of a dedicated carrier the Jindo can get into trouble rather easily.

Let's start with this:

Advanced stealth technologies such as the one this ship possesses are limited to maximum Semi-Unique production - please lower it or remove it to keep current production levels.

Opted to switch the stygium cloak with sensor jammers, removed every mention of a stygium cloak.

I also noticed I somehow messed up with the rating. I lowered speed to average to fix that.

Hopefully it's okay now.
