The R19 “Ripper” was first manufactured and deployed by the Sons of Blake, a pirate splinter-faction that emerged after the fall of Sanguios and the death of Captain Samuel Blake. While the R19 lacks the amenities typically desired for a long-range craft, it boasts an exceptional amount of firepower in a small, agile, and relatively low-cost jump-capable design making it ideal for use in pack-tactics and raids.

Designer's Notes:
-I designed this with the intent of making a more threatening and realistic SPRT drone that would make use the new Automatons blocks. Spawn it in, transfer it to SPRT, and it should start doing its thing as soon as the AI-system cycles (10 secs at most). This is the drone version, if you want the version you can pilot yourself, it can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3002964164
-Roughly comparable to a newer player that has recognized some of the advantages of large-grids, and is starting to pick up on proper defensive pvp block placement, but is unwilling to risk substantial resources.
-This ship can inflict significant damage against lightly and moderately armored opponents, and may pose a significant threat to ships that lack the range or acceleration to catch it.
