ASM Stilleto Class Destroyer V4

The ASM (Aegis Systems Military) Stilleto destroyer is the newest ship in the fleet. Designed as a patrol ship, the Stilleto is a versatile ship, good against any pirate or small threats in its own, and useful in fleet battles when put in battle groups as a medium support ship.

In terms of weapons, the Stiletto packs 6 guided torpedoes on its sides, which are really dangerous for larger cruisers or battleships, and for any spacecraft that cant accelerate fast. Capable of piercing several layers of armor with a good hit, and with the potential of one-shooting enemy ships reactors and CIC.The only downside of the torpedoes is that they have a minimum range to hit (800m). It is also equipped with 6 missile turrets and 8 gatling turrets for close quarters combat, including 4 frontal rocket launchers, all in positions where they can easily attack frontal targets.

Almost all the armor of the ship is concentrated in its prow, created with the intent of absorbing all the enemy fire with its three decoys, and able to resist several direct torpedo hits. It also has a self repair system that reaches all the turrets, the reactors, and some thrusters. The ships also has a gravity shield that will protect you from any gravity weapon, from ore guns to gravitic torpedoes (that have their mass blocks still turned on when they reach you, obviously)

As for maneuverability, the ship can roll and turn in seconds. Following standard ASM ship building doctrines, It comes with a powerful gravity drive to accelerate and decelerate (44m/s2 max acceleration), and with a good array of hydrogen and ion thrusters for inertial dampening.

The jump drive range is 1643.66 km.

Internally the ship has a front armor room, where the decoys are, followed by the cargo bay
(2 large cargo containers), the med bay (with crew quarters on top of it), the CIC/bridge, a computer core, and finally the engine room, with the reactor, hydrogen tanks, and almost all thrusters.

With these characteristics, the main battle tactic for the Stilleto is obvious: Attack using the front armor to take all the damage with all the turrets firing, after having launched some torpedoes to soften (or disable) the enemy ship, which satisfactorily fulfills their role as pirate hunters. Also, the gravity drive allows the ship to get in and out very fast.

Full conveyor system, cargo containers, refinery, 2 assemblers, med bay, pressurized interior, etc. Fully survival ready. NO MODS NEEDED.

To use the torpedoes, go to CONTROL 3. There, aim using camera in position 1, and fire by triggering any timer in the rest of the bar. I don’t recommend to be turning while launching, you might crash your ship against the launched torpedo.

The gravity drive is used from CONTROL 1. Number 5 turns it on, and 6, off. 7 and 8 allow you to adjust the power and direction of the gravity.

You can use the gravity shield and the gravity shield at the same time. The shield will count as extra gravity generators pulling you backwards, but not enough to overpower the generators of the drive.

Please comment on the ship, and tell me if something doesn’t work as it should. I recommend you use whiplash camera overlay mod, it helps a lot to aim the torpedoes.
