HMES Adventure

Since I found the Independence somewhat lacking as an escort, I created the Adventure on the same hull to pack a heavier punch and have a good looking destroyer. This is one of the airships in the second round of Avem Empire releases. I've got a few more that I've been working on over the past few months and I'm uploading them all now. In addition to updating the previously uploaded airships and adding a couple B variants, I'm releasing this destroyer, a carrier, a cargo vessel, and an artillery ship. Now onto the Adventure: Lore: As the first airship of the Avem Empire and the only escort of a usable size, the Independence class was mass produced for use with fleets and patrol. However, since the Independence were particularly underarmed for their size, a total retrofit was devised to upgrade the armor and armament of the class to a new design. That design is the Adventure. It costs more than twice as much but is significantly more capable. The Adventure features 4x 60rpm frag APS in single turrets, two fore and two aft, in superfiring pairs. It has six quad 40mm guns for AA, and two twin casemates on the bottom for CIWS. The casemates are surprising effective against CRAM salvos with their timed flak shells. Two of these ships working together can be almost completely immune to a DWG Crossbones. Since no destroyer would be complete without torpedoes, these vessels carry a pentuple missile launcher on the bottom between the casemates. These are what I would call aerial torpedoes. They use rocket propulsion like missiles, but are slow and bad at maneuvering and pack a heavy punch like torpedoes. They're remote guided and pretty strong. All of the gun turrets, AI, ammo, and engine are well armored with heavy armor, thick metal, and some ducts. It should be reasonably redundant, during testing I've had it lose gun turrets all the time with no ill effects. It can even be chopped in half just aft of the engine compartment and still fly fine. It's remained airborne even
