Plunder's Heart II
Class-- "The Dreadnought" in native Crusader
Crew--Can be piloted by just one, technically. Can be effectively run with two, and each additional helps. Cannot be flown without AI. Max crew of over two thousand. And half again as much passenger space.
AI--"Patches", an AI of alien design. Her avatar is a wolf-girl in a victorian suit.
Weaponry-- Dozens of banks of high-powered energy cannons. A dozen heavy charged plasma cannons. Forward "main weapon" super high powered cutting laser. Many high-powered tractor beams.
Power and Propulsion--Both little-understood alien reactors, substantially more powerful and efficient than the current fusion reactor.
Appearance--Roughly teardrop shaped, various panels opening up to show weapons, thrusters, and the like when in use. Everything out, it is more shaped like a fat-tailed Y, with the tail pointing forward. At first, it is full of holes, where the starmetal was peeled off.
Cargo/hangar--Enough to hold a dozen Serpent-class Frigates, at least, and allow full repairs on all of them. Cargo can be substantially more if needed by the modular, partitioned nature of the ship.
Other-- Lots of random, day to day alien tech.
Color Scheme--Currently, plain starmetal, with bronze, brown, and black paint flaking off. Eventually it will be red and gold.
