DESCRIPTION
Although the Skor-I and II have admirably served a variety of light-sided navies since the ill-fated Anoat sector campaign, it was found that the point-defense relying on projectiles was a liability in prolonged engagement, while the space savings made allowed it to free up some space for handling a squadron of attack craft, alongside with a host of new improvements, such as new cap drains, explosive-reactive armor and self-sealing hypermatter tanks. Despite this, the limited space to work with made it so that the crew feels very cramped, but it was a worthwhile sacrifice to make, especially given the main hardpoints' ammunition magazine taking up a significant amount of space. Installing even heavier firepower made the ship even slower and less maneuverable than its predecessors, but was deemed to be an acceptable sacrifice for the ability to fire at more than one ship at once.

The Skor-III features three triple 305mm heavy long-range hypervelocity cannon turrets, designed specifically for allowing smaller ships to mount such heavy consolidation weapons after the old 420mm one was found to be a liability for use on such a small ship, forming the ship's main battery, with a humongous ammunition magazine underneath the turrets. Even with this newfound ability to fire at more than one ship at the same time, it still has the same vulnerabilities as its predecessors: fast corvettes and frigates can close range and outrun the main battery's traverse and, from there, can destroy it, and also it is relatively easy to capture due to the low crew complement and the limited space for crewmembers. Finally, because the main battery is reliant on projectile ammunition, it can be a problem in prolonged firefights.
