Colonial Showcase | Commerce - 31
Added 2021-06-09 11:56:14 +0000 UTCGreetings patrons! This post will be a bit of a pilot for something I have been planning to do for a while, show off the upcoming ships and (later) weapons that will be included in LoA 2.0, 4 capital class ships have been sprited as of now but the main stopgap to me showing them off is missing scripts that are being handled by third parties.
Since this ship needed no fancy scripting, it's the first one to be fully implemented, so we're starting off with a civilian hull! Consider it a test of the format if nothing else.
The Commerce - 31 class Superfreighter is, in all honesty, little more than a requirement, it wouldn't make much sense for a colony of astrometrically isolated Xenos to be using any vanilla equipment, so they will need all critical roles filled domestically, and in that regard, it is just a stand-in for the Atlas.
That isn't to say it's entirely the same, it carries more cargo, though is proportionally less efficient to operate from a supplies standpoint, and it's more sturdily built, in exchange for lacking a shield. The system takes the form of the same Chaff Launcher you're all likely familiar with from various Exodus Initiative hulls.
