- Extremely Small Infantry Barracks
- Extremely Small Medbay
- Extremely Small Cargo Hold - Holds munitions, few repair hardware pieces, and military rations
- Warship - This ship has no use in Peace Time. The crew fight for space, but it boasts a powerful set of guns and resistance.
- Erebus Jammer - Lessens the effects of enemy long-range fire and guided munitions
- Power Systems - The ship has advanced features that allow it to improve shield power, improve speed, or even maneuverability, while at the cost of other systems.
- Warship - The Scythe II is purely a Warship. It does not use civilian ship designs, and it has no space for spare cargo or passengers. It has no room for fighters or other amenities. This ship has no use in Peace Time.
- Rear Defense - The majority of the Scythe II's weaponry are fielded on the forward fin of the ship, leaving only anti-fighter capabilities to defend the rear
- Forward Weaponry - The majority of the Scythe II's weaponry are fielded on the fin, so they can have perfect angling for fire archs at whatever is in front of the ship, allowing all weapons to fire forward. However, this makes Broadside capabilities null & void.
- Susceptible to Slicer Attack - Most if not all systems are automated. If the Internal Networking is infiltrated, the ship is liable to an attack by a slicer
Unfortunately, making the warship in such a way, makes it less of a long-term vessel. It can't just go through a hundred missions at a time without stopping. The ship has very few backup hardware pieces for repair, it has no material for critical repairs, it has extremely little military rations. It forces the vessel to dock at a station and give crew R&R and for repairs, as even its refreshers are no large than a commercial airplanes restroom. Typically, crew members would not live on the ship, but they would be rotated in shifts, to board from stations after a ship regularly docks for R&R and repairs. Leaving a crew on the ship for too long can result in psychological issues, and the onboard medical bay is not efficient enough to handle any critical wounds.
