Boarding Hatches w/ Hull Cutters
High-powered Auxiliary Thrusters
Strengths:
Hammer & Anvil - The Harrowbane is designed to serve as a fast attack frigate capable of mounting full assaults against ships large and small.
Hold Me Close - With an array of boarding harpoons, the Harrowbane can snag and reel in its prey for boarding operations.
Nimble Thorn - The Harrowbane can use its auxiliary thrusters to increase its turn rate maneuverability when attacking.
Is This Thing On? - Equipped with FSDP and DERP systems, the Harrowbane is difficult to track and target at a range.
Weaknesses:
Choose Carefully - Due to the number of core systems, the Harrowane can actively use just six of its ten special systems; swapping is a lengthy process that can mean certain defeat in battle.
Aft Me Later - Unfortunately the aft is poorly armed and thus serves as a crucial blindspot for enemies to exploit.
Shoo Fly! - With only a limited number of point-defense cannons, starfighters be this ship’s bane.
Description: The Wildflower-class is a unique ship, rather than an actual class of vessel, designed specifically for err… Aggressive trading opportunities.
Technically classified as an assault frigate, the Wildflower can be more accurately described as an overly large corvette due to its intended behavior of out-maneuvering its opponents and relying on fast attacks to subdue them before boarding operations can ensue. For this reason KDY has installed high-powered auxiliary thrusters along the horizontal and vertical axis of the vessel, and when engaged allows for a higher turn rate than typical for a ship of its size.
This does come at a cost to the ship, however. The reactor, unfortunately, is unable to actively use all of its special features without dangerously overheating and threatening a total meltdown. Thus a safety lock prevents more than six of these systems to be active at once. In fact, the reactor is technically overheating at all times—making it a particularly dangerous vessel to pilot in space, but thankfully the KDY reactor class is designed to take punishment so long as you don’t push it too far for its own good.
