HDCS-DD-8056 North Star (Vanilla with conveyors)

Description
The North Star is a refitted Sumter Class Destroyer-A legend among the HDC. At the battle of Golgotha (in the rings of the planet Sextant), she (the ship's AI) the captain and her entire crew volunteered to be the rear guard of the retreating and badly damaged 8th fleet. She was destroyed later, having fought off the enemy long enough for her allies repair their quantum drives and to plot a course back to Earth. She was presumabely lost with all hands. Reports vary, but most sources believe North Star was able to destroy fifteen enemy ships before she too was destroyed.

Northstar has 1 heavy frontal turret (must be manually piloted, uses MART script)

1 Heavy point defense turret (Also uses MART)

A huge number of point defense automated turrets (Interior turrets for shooting down fighters and taking out other turrets)

8x Missile launchers

6 Gatling Turrets

Broadside and Bow rocket launchers

In the event of her possibly being captured, there is a scuttle option that will destroy her critical systems.

North Star is a great escort for capital ships, as she bristles with AA-Guns. She is well armored, And can fend off a squadron of fighters easily. She is also faster than most ships of her size, thanks to her hydrogen thrusters (which have plenty of fuel).

North Star is hard to board, with multiple interior turrets in key locations, each covering the other's blindspots, while also forcing the boarders into bottle necks.

Remember, she's a killer ;-)

As a brawler, you'll want to naturally use her more like a standard SE cruiser, or even a battle cruiser, because of her armor and her weapons. So remember to go broadside, especially because the bridge is the only real weak spot on the ship.
I've fought friends with this thing, and it comes out pretty well, often taking out fighters in a jiffy. They even used mods against it and this thing stood up pretty well.

It should be noted that none of the "damage" actually includes damaged the blocks. They're just warped is all.

Sorry. I am not used to ships having warheads in them that are not on missiles.

Braciszek,

the northstar has no health damage. Some of the blocks are just warped, and any blocks that are missing is are just hull blocks(like passages, stairs), not the actual armor. this ship functions nominally, and is only a deathtrap to enemy ships and boarders. The warheads must be armed, turned on and have their timer started. It's not griefed. (how does the creator grief his own creation?)

I mean that in that it is damaged and griefed to be a deathtrap.

Why is this blueprint screwed up?
