Sésata Mali

The Sésata Mali or “Little Sister” is an A9 compliant, size class 14 CV that combines elegance with power in order to meet the needs specified in XCaliber's April '19 builders' challenge: https://discordapp.com/channels/519567328388710402/538402189358530562

Task: Design a CV that can act as a planetary POI blockade vessel. This task entails providing protection for the player from planetary POI's and the drones and troops that surround them. Additionally, facilitate the transport of salvage cargo and salvage or assault vehicles.

Sésata Mali is specifically designed with a broadside of 10 minigun turrets situated in the front right side of the ship. The pilot should orient this area toward POI turrets to focus them down one by one until the POI is no longer returning fire. Additional 8 x sentry guns and 2 x cannon turrets are situated to provide a 360 degree bubble of protection from drones and troops during POI turret neutralization.

While Sésata Mali does not come standard with harvesting technology, space has been designated on the port side of the ship for the addition of drill or lelu multi-pass turrets.

Key features:

Devastating POI turret destruction in seconds thanks to tried and tested “broadside turret configuration” which concentrates all 10 minigun turrets on the closest enemy turret.

In orbital combat, the “turtle back” armored top shell encourages pilots to point the top toward enemies to inflict maximum damage with 10 focused homing missile turrets

Ample hanger accommodates very large vehicles, including the Minotaur (size class 9) or multiple smaller vehicles. An additional SV landing pad adorns the top of the ship
