BACKGROUND -----------------------------------------------------------------


The Zeke-Class destroyer is a medium subcapital design originally released by Gau Space Dynamics as part of its naval linup.

Highly modular, Zekes can be configured in various ways with bolt-on weapons and thruster arrangements depending on role. The vessel's internal hangar is designed with ground-based operations in mind and is spacious enough to support a wide variety of vehicles and fighters.

This particular example is the Calico (B-08) in service with the GOM Mining Corperation security fleet, patrolling extraction sites and escorting mass carriers and other company fleetships in and out of wildspace.

As a corporate ship the Calico is restricted from using explicitly military-grade weapons. Nonetheless, the ship is armed to the teeth: a variety of aftermarket cannons and beams have been installed to deter most attackers, and the Calico usually carries two Y-45P Talon Snubfighters in the main hangar rafter mounts. Complimenting the energy weapons, the Calico carries industrial demolition torpedos stocked in the ship's main cargo hold. These powerful weapons skirt legality and require upper-level authorisation to wield. The Calico's last use was against a particularly large and aggressive golimoth that had attacked a dredging rig.

This modularity has also allowed for the addition of a pair of enormous GU-90 outboard nacelles replacing the Calicos stock lightcruise engines, with some additional revisions along the ships ventral comms tower to improve turret convergence.

The Calico carries a crew compliment of around 30, with provisions for additional personnel if needed.

Mostly finished, might as well get this one out there

There are a few spots that are maybe less finished than I'd like them to be, time permitting I'll update. Ship systems should work properly but I'd like to add more control options so you won't need to f5 through the ship to close a door

Currently the turrets work fine but linked to their own controllers, I will need to manually link them up with the main logic bay.

Features:

Big 4-door hangar (port, starboard, forward and belly), fitted for large ground vehicles
Working grav lift in main hangar
Crew lift
multiple working crane systems
interlinked cargo holds
docking arm
ventral shuttlebay
escape pod bays (might need to work on these)
torpedo launchers (static for now)

Compatible with the T9 Lifeboat: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808605249
and the Y-45P Talon Snubfighter: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=2806204755

WARNING: Performance Heavy! You may need to wait a few seconds after entering a helm depending on your setup before starting any timers so as not to break any mechanisms.
