INTENT
I made this ship because I felt there that there were no truly slick looking frigates that could truly fill the role a 'ship of the line' for smaller factions. While many of the main factions have faction exclusive tech that essentially fulfil the role of the Aegis, there is a noticeable dearth of heavier frigates for indie factions. Thus, I wanted to create a frigate that could act as an absolute tank and is capable of withstanding fire from ships that outclass it.DESCRIPTION
The Aegis was designed to be a ship that, with enough support, can act as a fleet staple in the place of a cruiser or destroyer. It acts as a tank for the rest of its fleet and while it has limited speed and cargo capacity, the ship is able to withstand huge amounts of damage for its size.As stated earlier, it requires a range of supporting ships in order to reach its full potential in combat. For example, it's relatively basic sensor suite makes it somewhat reliant on other ships with more advanced sensors, and its lack of fighter capacity leave it vulnerable to enemy Starfighters.
