Summary:

Built to be as accurate as possible whilst still being Vanilla, this ship dwarfs most others whilst being fully functional and capable of defending a fleet from most attacks. There is room for three small support fighters in the main hanger- alternatively resource gatherers and repair/salvage ships could be equipped.

Designed for upto a nine-man crew, although three to four is fine usually- a one man crew will struggle to switch between piloting and operating the weapons if needed...

Acceleration isn't too bad, roll rate and turning are very good thanks to the huge number of Gyroscopes. Light armour was used throughout most of the ship to save weight, however, the hull is extremely thick in most areas and heavy armour protects the Control Room, this ship can withstand most attacks without too many issues- small fighters can be deployed to disable any powerful weapons on attacking ships, leaving the Turrets on the Battle Cruiser to do the rest of the work. Four Gatling turrets and Two Missile turrets add extra defence from smaller attacking craft.
