[G.L.I] Hesperios Capital Ship

Description
|Hesperios Capital Ship|
According to the contract that was signed with the Renation Emprie and the Golden Legion Industries at the beggining of the Galactic war, GLI had to come up with multiple military designs for the Renation Empire to use. While they did many tests with other prototype capital ships in some of the outer core worlds, the Hesperios was the only one that was suitable enough to be used as a frontline battleship. The Hesperios saw its first battle at the planet Argos where the Resurgent forces were researching new weapon technologies. Resurgent forces were prepared for a standard Renation invasion but they werent prepared for a top of the line capital ship to bombard their assets from orbit.
The Hesperios capital ship is a 417m long massive destroyer. It can carry large ammounts of dropships and fighters in its 3 hangar bays. The ship comes equipped with auto repair systems and advanced radars to dominate the battle it participates in. The ship is also eqquiped with point defense weapons to protect itself from enemy missiles. The ship also has private offices for vip escort and democratic missions. Its thick armor and powerfull weaponary makes it a very good ship for head on combat.

Just a quick little announcement:
I made a discord channel where i post more lore stuff. Come say hi and we can chat.

Now for some out of lore stuff
The ship does have an interrior but since im not good at interrior design and all the help i asked from captain jacks server has gone unnoticed, i have decied not to show the interrior of the ship since it might make people get bored of the ship. The name *Hesperios* is a reference to the myth creature the Hesperios dragon. The dragon that protects the golden appels in the heaven. There is actually a golden dragon painting under the ship as a reference to the name.
The pcu count is pretty high (203 300) for this ship so keep in mind that it can burn your computer. I reccomend using it as a station if your pc isn't good. And the total blocks used are 35174. And also, the ship cant fly in atmosphere.

Most of them are pretty well laid out in the video, however, to summarize: 1: thin external armor. 2: thin frontal bulkheads. 3: no volumetric/kinetic protection (this is as simple as placing non-deforming blocks like blast doors or wheels behind walls and/or overlaying parts of the outside of your ship with catwalk) 4: no repair projector to allow destroyed turrets or critical components to regenerate from being destroyed. 5: Interior turrets as Point Defense. Since these have to be manually loaded and do almost no damage unless it's to small grids or players, this makes such a defense grid practically nonviable in a survival world. 6: over-reliance on Hydrogen. Your combat run-time assuming full tanks and O2 gens would be, in my estimation, 5 minutes or less. I could be wrong, on that figure, but since Jumpdrives take about 15 min to charge, you'll be stuck slowboating it on Ions when the H2/Ice run out.

Things you did right: 1: Gyros mounted facing outward. this allows them to act as a secondary armor inside the ship, protecting whatever is under them as opposed to them being knocked loose to bang around and damage things during maneuvers 2: Compartmentalization with large space gaps. This mitigates the need for anti-volumetric armoring, however, due to the external armor thinness, it as less of an effect on protecting squishy internals.

While nicely laid out and fairly advanced, it has it's flaws. Was fun to both fight with and fight against.
