[LKF] Javelin class support frigate

Purpose -

The Javelin class frigate is the fleets go to pursuit craft. It is extremely quick and manoeuvrable, not just for its size but in general, it will give any sized ship a hard time keeping up and will run circles around other ships its size in most cases. The javelin is well armed with 6 Gatling guns and 3 rocket launchers. Used for fast fly-by barrages before taking off and repeating.

Its turret fire power is rear focused, because most often the Javelin will be in front, being chased so rear firing turrets are preferable, but the 4 engine turrets have a great forward firing arch too.

The Javelin is designed for short strike missions, it can't sustain itself unless a miner is docked on the dorsal landing pad, but it shouldn't need to stay on missions for long, only deployed when a fast strike is needed far away.

In a fleet -

The Javelin serves well in a fleet as a fighter screening vessel, any fighter pilot will be terrified seeing an enormous ship performing the same speed wise as them, it also means the Javelin can re-position stupidly quickly.

Systems -

Walking in through the airlock you have a mini drone hangar, here you can launch tiny scouting drones through the port door. Here you have access to the ships reactors and freight storage too. Door opposite the airlock will take you into the thruster nacels where you can carry out repairs. Out the airlock and right will take you into the medroom. The door on the right in the medroom takes you down to the bridge, the left door takes you through the viewing area to the landing pad airlock.

The ships turrets have an auto repair function, using welders and a projector to keep the ship fighting. There are also decoys in the ships aerodynamic control surfaces.
