GARMR 86: Raiding Frigate (6.0+ READY!)

ROOM TO BREATHE: V1.5

- Updated GARMR 86 to Empyrion v6.0+ standards - Oxygen ventilators have been added throughout - Numerous sensors/switches have been configured to control various functions - Cargo hangars have been completely overhauled: 12,096 mobile cargo slots! - Check out the companion GARMR 86: Cargo Unit! - Don't forget about the new GARMR 86: Harbrok Gunship! - New Mining Control bridge; 2 mining lasers added - Many hours worth of additional detailing and reforming of hull bits - Signage throughout is much better than it was previously - Unfortunately, this ship is now a size class 11. Mind you, it started as a 4, so don't blame me. A week ago, it was as high as a 15! (Eleon is currently tweaking class sizes)

DESCRIPTION

A cargo frigate outfitted for base raiding. Its heavily armored forward cargo hangars will store all the loot of your plunderings, while the T-25 Warp Drive System guarantees that your a$$ will be on its way home before the calvary arrives!

Built with maneuverability, stealth, and focused-weaponry in mind, GARMR 86 functions quite well as a hit-and-run gunship, rather than a full-on destroyer. Heavily armored throughout, but it's best to not chip the paint.

GARMR 86 is more than capable of withstanding the harsh realities of PvP. There are more than enough backup systems and thick combat armor walls to keep this ship going for quite some time. Fuel consumption isn't generally an issue given its size, and handles respectively in the atmosphere. The entire layout is streamlined, managing to weigh only 42.2kt, while the handling still complimentary of her mission.

NOTES FROM THE ARCHITECT TO THE NEXT CAPTAIN

The newly-overhauled cargo bays can technically hold 48 cargo units, effectively doubling the added mobile cargo slots to 24,192. However, having this many ships docked to a CV at once can cause MASSIVE FPS issues. Even with all 24 docked, you will sometimes experience these issues when rotating off-axis (especially in space, for whatever reason). This is the reasoning behind simply scattering a couple small/large cargo boxes under the docking shelves.
