Alcaeus (Battleship)

The Alcaeus is an arrowhead-class battleship that is both heavily armored and heavily armed. This ship is designed to deploy a multitude of small attack craft/drones on the battlefield while bombarding larger targets. Utilizes ion/hydrogen thrusters and can only be operated in space. This ship manuvers and accelerates as any 500K ton ship would...poorly and slowly.

Forward acceleration: 1.3 m/s
Reverse acceleration: 1.2 m/s
Lateral/Vertical acceleration: .8 m/s
Jump Range: 323 Km

Haul consists of heavy armor while the interior is mostly light armor.

The interior of the ship is broken into two parts. The inner part contains most of the critical systems. The space in between the interior and the haul does not need to be pressurized as a way to conserve oxygen. The inside is partially decorated and allows plenty of open space for additional building.

Hangar bay consists of 24 connectors, 23 vertical and 1 horizontal. Has four main doors for quick deployment of support ships. Back part of the hangar includes a "welding wall" built into the floor for repairing and replacing ships. Front part of the hangar includes an additional set of hangar doors that allow access to the interior for small maintenance ships.

Two launch bays are located towards the tip of the wings. These bays can be used for small-grid missiles or large static weapons. Each bay has a forward and rear set of hangar doors. Both were kept empty for customization.

Most turrets are supported with a welder with the exception of interior turrets. Angle of engagement is important since some of the turrets can shoot the haul and each other. Weapons:

Magnetic Coil Gun = 10
Heavy Battery = 28
Telion Dual Battery = 10 (static)
Battleship Cannon MK2 = 61
Battleship Cannon = 28
Heavy Defense Turret = 40
Missile Turret = 56
Telion Anti-Fighter Turret = 108
Interior Turret = 80+

The Decorative Pack DLC is not necessarily required. The window and catwalk DLC blocks are used extensively throughout the ship but can be replaced with Vanilla blocks. Other DLC blocks are used to fill the interior.
