Ares Gunship

The Ares Gunship is a 70 meter long warship built for fleet escort, patrol, interdiction and operations in the atmosphere of planets. It offers all around combat steel grade armor with additional armor sections protecting the front. Its 12 turrets are all cleared for atmospheric use while it carries four additional missile launchers for use against targets in orbit and open space. The Ares class carries four generators and can stay fully operational in low and medium gravity atmospheres.

While not as roomy as other ships it carries a cargo hold large enough for longer operations and an advanced constructor for repairs, maintenance and ammo production while in active service. The small emergency infirmary carries all four medical scanners and a medical station making the ship able to keep its crew alive even under severe conditions. The ship carries an ermergency control station in the upper deck of the engine room in case both cockpit and ops have been breached.

And apart from advertisement this is a mid to late game ship for POI raiding that stays within the restrictions of size class 1 and is not crazy expensive. Works well on planets and moons, can carry a Small Vessel on top, lands easily and is stable when landed with good acceleration and great agility.
