Patrol Boats

This mod package contains my two Patrol Boat variants. The standard one was my first capital ship that actually worked (I made a larger ship with similarities only to realize that I had the core in wrong and it flew sideways making warp almost impossible. Seeing as how I make all of my ships in survival mode, I was certainly nonplussed). It is designed for short combat or exploration missions where you need a lot of survivability or firepower in a small package - something like hunting AI vessels then looting them.

Included are the standard Patrol Boat and the Advanced Patrol Boat which just upgrades the weapons and repair bay if you like the model and want to use it at max level.

You can find the standard variant here and the advanced variant here on Steam if you prefer to install them that way.

Standard Patrol Boat

Features:

• A small hangar bay in the bow of the ship with repair functionality (the console is in the room behind it)

• Two flack turrets

• Four level three sentry guns

• Mission amenities:

• Oxygen distribution

• Basic medical facility

• A spacious deck that can be accessed from the bridge and has room for a large turret or can store a larger docked vessel

• Ground access through the keel

• A forward sensor array and aft radar dish that might become functional soon (they did it for HV recently)!

• Every room has a light switch

Requirements:

Sathium: 5012

Neodymium: 2830

Cobalt: 1539

Zascosium: 773

Erestrum: 773

Copper: 692

Advanced Patrol Boat

The advanced variant adds four fixed pulse lasers, a fixed rocket launcher, and upgrades the repair bay to tier two at the cost of being only available to level 25 players and requiring more ingots. The screenshots show the new material costs.

Notes:

• I really like having the hangar door in the front of the ship, but it often gets destroyed in combat which is a big reason why a lot of my later (this was my first CV BP) designs have heavily armored bows.

• The repair console is just to the right of the door as you exit the hangar, I couldn't find a good place for a labeling LCD

• Steam really needs to work on their formatting options :S I can't even do a list in a list with bullets and spaces...
