PHI Derzky-Class Patrol Craft

STANDARD TYPE LARGE GRID
_______________________________________________________________
Vanilla + DLC

Description:

The Derzky class is the result of a lack of mass producible ships in PHI's catalogue, considering that their primary clients are smaller navies and PMC's.
Despite filling this need though, it can be considered heavily armed and armoured for a patrol craft. In fact, certain navies would classify the Derzky as frigates or even as destroyers.
The main draw here is that the Derzky is incapable of jumping, due to not having a jump drive. If it wants to get to places quick, it will have to be ferried by a larger ship or utilize jump drive attachments.
The lack of a jumpdrive isn't a shortcoming though. As it's classification suggests, the Derzky's primary role is to patrol and protect designated areas.

It's relatively high performance has also made it quite popular with local pirates, seeing use by starting and seasoned captains alike.
Some of the more notorious pirates are even using carriers to jump wolfpacks of Derzky's onto unsuspecting targets, generally making for a quick battle.
Yet it's also finding use in its intended role, patrolling the areas around pirate dens and commonly travelled starlanes to both keep the authorities at bay, and prey on passing cargo ships.

Author's Notes:

I was working on a new small ship when I got a stroke of inspiration, and ended up making this ship instead.
As the description already states, this ship is supposed to make up for the fact that a lot of my ships are sort of hard to build in survival.
Anyways, enjoy!
