USSP Korolev

Note- This is the first in a new series of ships inspired by those of The Expanse.

The Korolev is a tried and true design. Differing from other USSP ships in its vertical layout, it features improved acceleration, maneuverability, and weapons firing arcs.

Korolev is built to "punch up" for its size class, and boasts greatly increased performance over its peers. It can accelerate at 39 m/s^2 with its extremely powerful thrusters, and features a superfiring turret layout and strong frontal protection intended to face directly towards enemies.

TL;DR

Korolev is server- and survival- friendly, and completely vanilla. It uses no mods, no subgrids, and no DLC.

CREDITS

Korolev uses a few scripts to enhance function. These include Whiplash141's Artificial Horizon, Whiplash141's Airlock, Whiplash141's Turret Radar, and Whiplash141’s Retro Thruster Braking.

I used [YMC] Type 34 Merchantman as a Belta target.
