[SMI] Torrent - Destroyer Escort (NO DLC)

Description

Unique to the rest of the SMI shipline, the Torrent's arsenal almost entirely consists of Gatling Turrets. It provides the Point Defence that the Monsoon Destroyer mostly lacks. Typically found in packs of 2 to 3 ships, it is almost always paired alongside a Monsoon, tearing apart any enemy fighters or missiles that get close.

Extra Details

Man, I procrastinated finishing this ship for soooooooooooo long, welp.
I made this ship to pair with the Monsoon, acting quite literally as a destroyer escort, I wanted it to primarily make up for the Monsoon's limited PDC coverage, hence the ship's large ratio of Gatling turrets.
Like all of my other SMI ships up to this point, it is a forward firing ship, and is at its strongest when pointed directly at the target. When aimed, all turrets will be able to fire and additionally enemy fire will be focused on the reinforced bow, which contains a decoy and multiple welders. If enemy fire breaks through that, then it will have to go through the cryochamber, then the central hallway before it can reach the critical parts of the ship contained in the stern (If anybody is sleeping during a fight... lol. lmao.).

By default, the ship will start with repair welders and its repair projector turned off. If you want to have full advantage during battle, then I recommend turning these on. But if looking for a more cinematic experience, turn off the projector and let it ride. All of these can be found in the 1st hotbar of the CIC Control Seat. Various other thingy's are managed by event controllers + there's more to be found in the other hotbars of the Control Seat.
If there are any very important features I missed, it's probably because I've not looked at this ship for a year.
