[LF] Nebulon B Frigate

The Nebulon B Frigate is a mid game CV for Vanilla and Reforged Eden, that can upgrade to a robust gunship that would satisfy Rebel Alliance, and Black Sun pirate captains alike! Spawning in at core 6, this frigate can range up to core 23 and beyond, and able to field a variety of up to 29 mounted weapons making the Nebulon B a flying gun!

The Kuat Drive Yards Nebulon B Frigate

The Nebulon B offers both Vanilla and RE players a robust mounted weapons platform, which players can utilize in a variety of ways, including as an option late game miner. Turret placement won't be significant at approximately 30 count, but the ship will shine with giving the player control of offense with so many mounted weapons.

It will serve as a complete warship for Vanilla, and for Reforged Eden, it will tackle many top targets once upgraded. For others it can't best solo, it will fulfill its role as an effective support fighter in a group setting that will surprise many captains.

Hello kindred Empyrion spirits!

[i]Let me start with a request; please respect blueprint authors. Often it takes months to finesse a build, and to have it ripped and reuploaded without permission or even so much as credit, can be discouraging, often pushing such authors away from the community.

I personally don't mind critical feedback, and constructive criticism, as it will serve me to better my builds. However, If you enjoy my content, and there is much more to come, respect my (and others) authorship of these massive timesinks. Thank You.[/i]

Armament

The Nebulon B comes stock with 1 missle turret, 2 minigun turrets, and 4 laser turrets.

The total turret capacity will round out at about 30, with 27 forward firing. Mounted weapons will top out at 29 when properly utilizing the forward vertical spire for placement.

survivability

The Nebulon B has a body encasement of Steel, with the full section forward of the vertical spire being encased with Combat and Xenosteel. In addition to this, the key devices are encased in a layer of Combat and Zeno steel.

The Nebulon also has a Forward Auxiliary Room which can be used for addition armor and decoy placement.

A good measure of chain reaction mitigation has been done, though some areas might be vulnerable to small chains, such as the vertical spire's bottom drive thruster if exploded.
