[RETIRED SHIP] Prototype MKII UNSC Destroyer 'Shrouded Prophecy'

[andrew123]

[THE MISSILES ON THIS SHIP, AND THE SHIP ITSELF, ARE RETIRED.]

Evil laugh

Shroud-armor UNSC-destroyer MK 1.5 with four tactical Ares missiles armed with FERNIS MK 0.5 warheads for warheads. Weighs around 120 tons and 400-500 parts due to complex structure. Propulsion is four thrust vectoring non-nuclear engines to address HIGHCOM's concern for the lack of maneuverability and acceleration.

With unarmed ares missiles. Warheads were added later.

I like it. But I don't see the engines making it hover/fly?

[ONI Officer Nooble]

Interesting design, doesn't look all that big though. And the matter if the ares missiles, do the have a separate means of propulsion or are they inertia based?

You do realize this is an OLD ship, although still a tough one.

To answer your question, they're solid rocket propelled missiles, although they're only as good as scrap metal in the modern shipbuilding environment.

PS: Not all that big? I see you're not that experienced yet, because bigger doesn't always correlate to better.
