Today we have two new spaceship models. The Admiral Lazarev class Battlecruiser joins the Neo-Soviets as a fast, hard-hitting capital ship somewhat removed from the usual big, heavy battleships of the rest of the fleet. It has a heavy gun turret for’d with a missile battery positioned behind. The superstructure is flanked by a quartet of medium Mass Accelerators, with another pair on the lower hull. Defensively the Lazarev class has moderate shielding and a battery of anti-fighter weapons, but lacks the ablative armour of larger ships such as the Voroshilov<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second vessel in today’s release is the Vasilisk Fuel Tanker. Built on the same basic hull as the Ulyanovsk Fleet Carrier<\/a>, the Vasilisk class serve under both military and civilian flags, hauling vast amounts of liquid cargoes. As befits such a valuable ship and consignment, the Vasilisks have a small point-defence battery to ward off raiders. This example, the WN-325, flies under the flag of the Westham-Norcross Shipping Company.<\/p>\n
