(BS) Fenrir-class Destroyer (modless)

The Fenrir-class Destroyer is an advanced large grid warship by Black Sail, designed for ship-to-ship-combat. To fight heavy armoured vessels, ships of this class are outfitted with a guided missile system, a powerful gravity drive and a strong armament, all build into a fast, manoeuvrable, yet well protected frame. The ship is fully vanilla, uses NO DLC content and is survival ready.

Key Features:

• Survival-ready (but not recommended) - Subgrids are required to run the missile system, but the crafts spaceframe features pressurized rooms, airlocks, cargo- and oxygen-storage, production facilities and is fully conveyor-linked.
  
• Manoeuvrability - The ship has many gyroscopes for its weight. This makes the craft very manoeuvrable and able to react quickly in combat scenarios and makes it easier to use the in-built gravity drive.
  
• Limited Planetary Flight - The impressive thruster pack of the Fenrir is strong enough to lift the vessel in 1.00G conditions.
  
• Guided Missile System - The Fenrir uses its LAMP Fire Control Suite, to guide two small grid WHAM Missiles to a target.
  
• Gravity Drive - The ship has a built in 16.00G gravity drive allowing fast forward acceleration and high speeds of over 100m/s when its active.
  
• Emergency Cockpit - In case the CIC suffers severe damage the Fenrir can be controlled from an emergency cockpit under the CIC.
  
• Script Backup - If one of the primary grid mounted programmable blocks gets destroyed, the vessel can utilize the timer controlled (“TB Script Backup”) to switch to the subgrid mounted ones of the main computer core.
  
• Repair System - Multiple repair welders at the turrets, fixed weapons, the main thrusters and the main reactor further improves the ship’s ability of withstanding enemy fire while keeping its primary systems online. And a repair projector ensures the ability to recover from damage.

Built with a powerful bow facing armament, resilient armour plating and equipped with an advanced guided missile system, the Fenrir-class is primarily designed to engage large warships in ship-to-ship combat at any range. For this task, the Fenrir utilizes her speed and manoeuvrability to close the distance to its prey, while armour protection and repair capabilities keep the vessel in the fight.

With a dry mass of 4900 metric tons, the Fenrir is one of the heavier warships deployed by Black Sail. With up to 60,4 MN of thrust, the hydrogen-ion propulsion systems provide the Fenrir with outstanding acceleration, while the 52 gyroscopes making the ship very manoeuvrable compared to other Destroyers. To further increase the acceleration, vessels of this class featuring a build in gravity drive projecting an artificial gravity force of 16.00G.

The ship’s hull is well armoured, it is built with heavy ribcage-armour layout, consisting of multiple layers of light armour blocks on a heavy frame and additional armour panels to protect vital systems. Thrusters are also retracted into the hull to save them from incoming fire. To further increase the durability, repair welders are placed at the ships primary systems and a repair projector allows the ship to recover from damage.

The main armament of the Fenrir are the two guided missiles stored in two launch bays at the stern of the ship. Each of these missiles are armed with sixteen small grid warheads and can completely obliterate small grid crafts and seriously damage every large grid ship at ranges up to five kilometres. The mouth of the beast contains an impressive offensive armament of four 125mm artillery cannons and as its fangs it has eight sequenced 200mm rocket launchers. In addition, the vessel is equipped with two powerful 125mm artillery turrets, eight 55mm assault cannon turrets, twenty 25 mm gatling turrets and sixteen 5,25mm Point Defence Cannons. The turrets are mounted in a superfiring configuration, allowing all weapons to fire when the ship engages a target bow-on.

The Fenrir is primarily used as frontline assault vessel as part of larger packs or as a single performer of “hit-and-run” attacks against TEF vessels and stations. When enemy reinforcements arrive, the ship engages its gravity drive to outrun every pursuing vessel, while the missile tubes serve as a nasty surprise for them.

I hope you like my first destroyer. Would you like more ships like this? Do you have any constructive criticism? Write it in the comments!

Both WHAM and LAMP by (the one and only) Whiplash141 are very complex scripts due to the large variety of functions they offer. So, you should read the WHAM and LAMP Complete Guide before you mess around with it. TURN ON THE SCRIPTS if you want to use them.

Missile Controls:

Tab 1:
1./2. Bow/Stern Targeting Camera (used to acquire a target)
3./4. Arm/ Disarm Missile System (turns on/off welders and timer blocks)
5. Missile Homing Mode Switch (switches from homing to /mouse-controlled missile firing mode)
6. Missile Lock-on/Lock-off (Locks on/off a target, when aimed with one of the cameras at it)
7.Retask Missiles (forces already fired missiles on your current locked target)
8./9. Fire One/All Missiles (self-explanatory)

The ships programmable blocks are loaded with these scripts:

Thank you for your awesome scripts!

It would not be possible for me to create these builds without this awesome community.
Thank you! If you like the ship please give me a like. If you don’t like it please tell me why!
