Description
Drake Class Corvette, CR-9 Yi Sun Sin

The Drake Class Corvette is the sister ship to the Halsey class, both being developed at the same time. Of the two classes, the Drake is much more combat oriented. One of the smallest and lightest ships of the fleet, this ship is not suitable for a major engagement. However, its speed, armament, and low maintenance make it ideal for patrol duties or as part of a rapid response force.

Much of the ships internal volume has been sacrificed for a large drone bay. Consequently, crew quarters are tight and a special condensed engine room needed to be built for this ship. However, the drones help increase the Drakes survivability acting as a force multiplier in combat. Additionally, they give the ship a measure of flexibility by allowing the crew to adapt to different missions by switching out for different models of drones, probes, or torpedoes. Currently, the Yi Sun Sin is outfitted with Stinger Combat Drones.

Just a quick update. I have begun refitting my ships since i finally have more free time again. This ship is will now work just fine with thruster damage on.

But on a more serious note. I love when ships have CIC's it's far more realistic. And besides cockpits are for fighters.

The Argentavis decided I looked like a fun playmate. I rammed his ass.

Yes sorry you need to keep thruster damage off. Until the game allows for larger, or preferably custom engines, my ships will need to keep damage off. This should only affect the primary engine pods, not the maneuvering thrusters.

Is this one only working with thruster damage off?
