Maneuverability: The maneuverability of the Siren-Class Frigate is better than that of its normal counterparts, but it is still a warship. Plagued with the typical large-size/slow-response issue of most warships, it still needs point-defense weaponry to fend off fighters. Its lack of turning speed is made up for by its massive weapons both on the broadside and head-on. One of the favorite maneuvers of captains of these ships is dropping out of hyperspace within an enemy formation, allowing all of the guns to fire at will with devastating effects.

Description: Do you want a fleet? Well, this is the best ship for your bread and butter! The Siren-Class Destroyer has the versatility of a frigate, while packing the firepower of a destroyer. Noted for its impressive firepower, one of the favorite features of the Siren-Class is its Anaconda-Class Mega-Shot Macro-Cannon. This weapon has been nicknamed the “Titan-Killer” for a good reason. While it takes a large portion of the ship's power output just to fire 1 shot, this weapon has devastating effects on ships twice the size of the Siren, causing critical system failures and extreme levels of damage to hull integrity, if not completely compromising it with a single, well-placed shot. The massive tungsten-carbide slug is fired at extreme velocities, turning into a red-hot flying hunk of death flying at an enemy ship faster than whatever can get out of the way. Now, this weapon is almost useless against massive capital ships like carriers and battleships, but is still useful against cruisers, destroyers, and other mid- to small-sized capital ships. One popular tactic by the Federation is to use the Siren en-mass, where the sheer volume of these “Titan-Killer” weapons is enough to make even an Imperial Dreadnought blush.

Hell's Nightmare serves as the flagship for the KES, and the the command vessel for Admiral Vestar Trane. Following the destruction of the previous flagship, Gravity's Union, above Sirius Primaris Hell's Nightmare received the promotion. For a while the ship served as KES sole base, and rotated sectors around DSC Daedalus to remain discrete. Now the 'Nightmare is manned by a skeleton crew and orbits discretely around Imynusoph's sole moon.

@Clayton

Changes solely are this:

Added Standard Hyperwave Transmitter (boli said it was okay)
Changed weapons from mass drivers to blaster technology
added turbolasers instead of mass driver weaponry that was previously stated to be the equivalent.

Boli knew nothing of the weapons upgrades.

- 10 Jackhammer III-Class Dual-Linked Macro-Cannons
- 1 Anaconda-Class MD Mega-Shot Cannon “Titan-Killer”
-1 Medusa Class ION Cannon

what are these, exactly?

Fancy names that Brett gave the guns because he likes proprietary names. Nothing special I promise you. The Macro canon was something left over from having previously been an MD based weapon. Edited it to be a heavy laser canon. The "Anaconda" is this: "This weapon has been nicknamed the “Titan-Killer” for a good reason. While it takes a large portion of the ship's power output just to fire 1 shot, this weapon has devastating effects on ships twice the size of the Siren, causing critical system failures and extreme levels of damage to hull integrity, if not completely compromising it with a single, well-placed shot.

that was already approved, I didn't touch that.

 

[Prudence]

To make things easier I took the names out, they're just regular standard weapons.

 

[Prudence]

@Clayton is this acceptable?

 

[Clayton]

Yeah

 

[Outlander]

How many Turbolasers per battery?

 

[Clayton]

I read it as four turbolasers total.

 

[Outlander]

Ah. OK. Wanted to check in case batteries was referring to multiple.
