[G.L.I] Zeus Class Battleship

Lore:

Developed shortly after the start of the galactic war, Zeus class was one of the most heavily armed ships of its time. Equipped with 8 cruise missiles, 8 artillery drones, 14 artillery turrets, 20 assault turrets, 12 rocket turrets and gatling turrets as secodaries, the Zeus class packed quite a punch. Although armed to the teeth with guns and with heavy frontal armor, side armor was certinly not enough to protect it against heavy fire where it was the weekest. This was made even worse by the lack of manouverability that the ship heavily suffered from. All of this meant that the ship was not prefered by the Renation Navy and was overshadowed by designs like ares and vanguard. The Zeus was an economic failure for Golden Legion Industries as only a couple ships were fully built and shipped to the front lines before the production facilities were repurposed to producing more Ares class's.

The few Zeus ships that made it to the frontlines had mixed results. Ship No 1 and 2 were assigned to the experimental 87th unit and took roles as indirect fire support during many siedges. They proved quite effective with all the ranged weaponary on board and were valuable artillery assets but when the enemy came closer and closer, the ship started to show its weaknesses. Unable to retreat due to their poor mobility, Zeus No2 was lost to enemy fire where as No1 was barely able to survive an encounter with multiple Resurgent destroyers. Ship No3 suffered cathostrophic autoloader failure witth its frontal row batteries and half the ship caught fire. The crew was forced to scuttle and the ship was later captured by the Resurgent forces for evaluation.

As unreliable as the ship itself was, when it worked it worked pretty well. Its ranged weaponary rained down hell on any target they found and 8 independent drones increased the already incredible firepower. The cruise missiles that were crudely attached proved very effective against slow moving targets

This ship was built in survival for multiplayer survival PVP. I built this quite a while ago so there arent any prototech blocks inside but I would argue that this makes it an even more affordable ship for anyone that wants to build it in survival. Im trying to publish most of my unfinished projects so im rolling some out without the nececery polish. Do let me know what you think about this ship.
