Advanced Weapon Systems;
Scutum - A quad barrel design that enables the weapon to unload tens of thousands of rounds. Equipped with its own sensors that are tied into the ship, the weapon is able to better detect missiles, fighters and torpedoes. In long engagements the Scutum can run out of ammunition. Additionally rapid fire can lead to degradation of the rails. Lastly, the Scutum is not designed to strike anything larger than missiles or starfighters.

Advanced Munitions Control Systems;
It starts with the Doonium, and ends with the shield booster. The Seawolf is equipped with [SIZE=10pt]doonium lined with [/SIZE]duraplast along with turadium reinforcement and a particle shield booster that works inside of these compartments. It is separate from the main shield system and works to draw power independently. So that both shield systems can run together but never draw from the other.
Strengths:
Fast: Coupled with a moderate maneuverability rating, the Seawolf II relies heavily on her speed to get her in and out of the fray.
Torpedo: Built with twenty-eight fixed torpedo tubes the Seawolf II is ready to deliver a hefty one-two punch to larger capital ships.
Ion/EMP: With little to no ion/emp weapons protection the Seawolf is vulnerable to these weapons.
Munitions: Between the scutum’s potential to not only run out of ammunition but to overheat, and the sheer amount of warheads she carries the Seawolf is vulnerable to her own munitions storage. And once her shields are down she’s open to weapons fire which can be fatal.
The Seawolf [SIZE=10pt]II, is [/SIZE]in reality the Locust II. Doing away with the old First Order design, Primo Victoria drew on the past for the Seawolf's design - the Seawolf was inspired by the Terminus-class destroyer of the Old Republic Era. The Seawolf's mission profile would remain that as the Locust's profile, and that was as a frigate.
A torpedo frigate that is meant to be part of a new assault line, made to rush in and assault capital ships with the speed to escape most of the larger star destroyers and battlecruisers it is made to target. However, the trouble comes in with corvettes, starfighters and other frigates who can keep up with the Seawolf. Given a light ion shield and a light deflector shield doesn’t do much in the onslaught of battle the hope is that as the Seawolf is on her way back that the anti-starfighter and ships such as the Bolt III will have advanced far enough to provide cover and engage the enemy.
That being said it is just a hope, a scenario and cannot account for the full variables that battle has to offer. The Seawolf equipped with twenty-eight modular torpedo tubes and two modular mine launchers is a nasty frigate that relies heavily on speed and maneuverability to get in and out of trouble.
One of the chief concerns, if not primary concerns for engineers working on the Seawolf II was how to prevent sympathetic detonation. Yes, they had developed a control system for previous work but this, this would require something more. They brought back the [SIZE=10pt]doonium[/SIZE] magazine compartmentalization system complete with [SIZE=10pt]duraplast liner and reinforced by [/SIZE]turadium. Once in place engineers then decided to take one step forward and that was a particle shield booster made specifically for the compartmentalization system. It runs independently from the light shields the ship has for its own safety. This booster works to shield the compartmentalization system away from critical systems.
Of course with little to no immunity from ion weapons the Seawolf would be made to rely on the old Locust system and pray that the jostling of the ship would not result in the sympathetic detonation.
