The Expanse - UNN Wu Tsao

This is the UNN Wu Tsao, a ship from The Expanse. The UNN is the United Nations Navy and its primary opponent is the MCRN, the Mars Congressional Republic Navy. This ship was meant to be a UNN rival to the Tachi by Veshka and it is comparably armed, though nearly twice the mass of the Tachi it was built to scale with. Unfortunately we've seen very few shots of UNN ships, although recent episodes of The Expanse have helped provide a better idea of what small UNN ships look like. I chose to name this after the UNN Wu Tsao from the books, which was an unspecified class of frigate.

The ship is fully vanilla and has a fully equipped refinery, three assemblers and three arc furnaces. There are several spare programmable blocks and timer blocks if you wish to add more scripts or other things. There are 6 PDC's (Gatling Turrets), 2 Rocket Launchers and 2 Guided Missile Tubes.

Hopefully we'll be seeing more of UNN ships in the future. Right now this is more a speculative design more than anything canon. I might be doing a larger UNN ship that I got a better look at, something around the size of a destroyer I think, but right now that's not planned.

A lot of inspiration for these expanse ships has come from Veshka's Tachi, which you should check out if you haven't already.

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the blueprint. Yes, I know there is a typo on one of the LCD's, and I am intentionally not fixing it. You'll know why when you see it.

Thank you for browsing this item.

Update: New guided missiles with cameras for direct control. As there has been some confusion with the guided missiles, I'd like to clear some of that. If you leave the welders and projector on when you fire missiles, they will keep reprinting and firing the same missile. I recommend you turn them off if you want to be firing volleys. I've intentionally left several programmable blocks, timer blocks and LCD panels open so that they can be customized by you to your preference.

I appreciate feedback on my ships so that I can continue improving them. One thing I've been told is that the mid section looks wimpy thin, and I intend to beef it up on the next update.
