The Expanse - MCRN Soteria

The MCRN Soteria is a speculative non-canon design for an MCRN destroyer. Armed with 28 PDCs and 4 Missile Turrets and protected by a layer of heavy armor, it safeguards the fleet from long range torpedoes and fast attack ships. The ship has four torpedo tubes for guided missiles and six forward facing rocket launchers. It is named for Soteria, the Greek goddess of safety and salvation, deliverance, and preservation from harm.

This is a fully vanilla design. 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 also turned off many of the LCD's because they were hitting my performace hard, which worries me about what they might do to more average computers.

Level by level, this is the layout of the ship:
Weapons Bay
Bridge
Computer Deck
Crew Quarters
CIC
Officer's Quarters
Galley
Medical Deck
Airlock
Hangar
Cargo Bay
Engineering
Reactor Space

Scripts:
Whip's Artificial Horizon Script
Whip's Missile Launch Script
Whip's Automatic Door and Airlock Script
Whip's Missile Guidance Script
MMaster's Automatic LCD's 2
ColTeH's Light Color Change Script (An update of an old script)
Alysius's Floor Plan Script
Phil's Ship Diagnostics

This has to be one of the largest ships I've built (and finished). It weighs over 15k tons, or 15,000,000 kg, and contains about 8400 blocks. While it is made as a destroyer, it probably fits in where many capital ships do in SE. I'm not sure if I'll be making any ships bigger than this, as they will likely be impractical for the game, and also its exhausting.

This ship is part of a group and is meant to also be a companion to Veshka's Tachi. Please go check out their blueprint of the Tachi if you haven't, they've done a great job with it. A few design elements, including the MCRN logo and pilot's seat display are from their design as well.

Thank you for browsing this item. I appreciate feedback. I've only been doing this for a short time and I'm still getting used to putting stuff on the workshop. Please let me know if there are any issues with the 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 appreciate feedback on my ships so that I can continue improving them. I'm making notes on this ship right now for the next update, which I'm looking to add many more PDCs, two torpedo tubes, floor plan and diagnostic scripts, and blast door blocks.
