[HDI] HS-GB-776

Description
Manufacturer: [HDI] Hephaestus Defense Industries

Product Series: Hephaestus Series

Utility: Multi Environ Gunboat

Registration #: 776



This gunboat is a small corvette fielded by HDI as a simple but effective patrol craft, assault corvette, and escort craft.

While equipped sparingly with some forward artillery and up to 10 turrets, the GB is adept at quick and short assaults on enemy forces/encampments. While its small size and limited armor aren't meant to soak up damage, they are able to remain in the air even after a decent beating.

This vessel excels in swarm tactics and is by no means a power house in its own right. Designed to be printed off and yeeted at the enemy en mass. This is one of the few standard ships utilized by HDI that is not specifically designed to ram an enemy vessel. That said, there is absolutely NOTHING stopping a skilled pilot from cramming this thing down an enemy ships' throat. :P

Hope this little ship serves its pilots well as it is a blast to fly about. No JDS as it is not meant to be used in that function. Instead, there is a JDS ring that will be released shortly that the signature HDI docking mechanism is compatible with; allowing up to 4 of these to jump at one time to a desired location. Lower mounted Large mag plate allows this vessel to safely land on a planet, platform, or even other ships.

Coming in at 1,195 blocks and 10,135 PCU, this little guy is an easy ship to build and use as a disposable cannon fodder or to be a menace to enemy players as their numbers darken the horizon. Have fun!

Ah yeah. This was not designed for long range travel or pressurization. Like mentioned below, it is meant mostly as cannon fodder. but yeah, those adjustments are good for it if you plan to use it for anything else.

wanted a small patrol vessel, had to link the front and back connectors and replace the magplate with a JD. easily got in vents and a Cyro.. removed a Gyro on each side to pressurize the cockpit.

Wish i had noticed some these before i built it in my survival server...

No that is accurate. This is basically a disposable cannon fodder. While it can do most anything you need, it lacks two main things: Jump Drive, Internal Ventilation. This was intentional. They are quick and easy to build and there is cargo access so having tanks on hand wouldn't be an issue. I can change it to have internal pressure with ease though. Do you think that would be better?

Hi, nice ship :) But, did I miss something in the building or is it missing O2 in cockpit area?

Oh ok that's fine thank you anyways !

Hmmmm That is a bit of a pickle. Sadly there are several areas that use the dlc blocks. Functionally speaking it should still 'work' even without them but you will find that there are missing blocks such as the majority of the weapons, deco stuff, and such. I'm honestly not sure what all would be removed.

Glad you like it! I also like simple, compact ships too. Easy to build and replace.

I love compact ship designs like this.
Too many people build these insane useless size ships.
This think with shields would rekk shit on the battlefield!
