Our British spaceship fleet gets three new reinforcements this week. The largest of the three is is Medway class Patrol Ship<\/strong> – this is a deep space patrol vessel tasked with keeping watch over distant colonies, showing the flag and generally showing up wherever it can be useful. It has a railgun battery as main armament, and also room for a marine squad and a fighter bay which can be useful for either interceptors or shuttle craft. They can just as often be found running rescue or humanitarian missions as military ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joining the main fleet are the new Triumph class heavy destroyers<\/strong>. Slower than most fleet escorts, they have a battery of Stardart missiles and additional armour to help them stand in the line of battle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Shark class Stealth Destroyers<\/strong> are part of the fleet’s Deep Strike arm, joining the larger Swiftsure cruisers as part of a task force that specialises in fast interdiction missions on enemy installations. They’re equipped wwith heavy forward firing railguns for hitting power and a stealth generator to keep them hidden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Starmada-X stats can be found for these three new ships on our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SFS-133<\/a> – Triump class Heavy Destroyer – \u00a31.50
\nSFS-134<\/a> – Shark class Stealth Destroyer – \u00a31.25
\nSFS-174<\/a> – Medway class Patrol Ship – \u00a31.75<\/p>\n

We’ll be rejigging the contents of our British fleet packs to accomodate these new ships, although that hasn’t quite happened yet.<\/p>\n

Alas, due to the slightly late arrival of the production mould I won’t have any of these at Cavalier<\/a> on Sunday \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
