So I've been working on this ship for quite awhile trying to get it to perform decently in combat but couldn't get it to work very well as the ship is slow and doesn't have the best design to mount weapons. During this time I sort of had a revelation that this ship doesn't need to be combat orientated and could exist to perform other duties, with this in mind I went forward.
The Mobile Command and Relay ship: The purpose of this ship is to establish effective communications and a command structure within large fleets and also provide ample room in the command centre for war planning and battle strategies, the large crew complement would also make this ship excel at commencing boarding parties on disabled ships to capture them and also deploy invasion armies on planetary bodies.
While the ship lacks offensive armament it's got enough shielding, PD's and Armour to take a beating but the idea is that this is deployed within a fleet and that there are other ships around to help defend it. I'm still working on this ship but I was thinking of giving it a few light craft to make it some sort of carrier hybrid to help defend itself and of course I still need to paint it.
