Centauri Covran Scout |
||||||||||||||||||||||
These 2191 scouts are excellent EW platforms, with powerful offensive sensors capable of spotting enemy ships much farther away than they will be spotted. The ship is armed only for point defense, though with the excellent Centauri defensive weapons and coverage, and must be escorted if it might come under direct attack by ships or massed fighters. Covrans are designed for fleet or squadron use and must not be operated alone. The ships have a crew of 67 and a 9 month endurance to facilitate long border patrols. Operational mobility is supplied by a Class VIII Jump Drive and a 4.4G acceleration. The class is named for nocturnal creatures or vision related technologies. Lack of organic fighters is seen as its biggest flaw. The reactor is rated for 2600MW. |
