Knox Class Heavy Patrol Boat

The Knox Class is a standard but strong patrol boat built to take on all sorts of crafts at a cheap price point. The Knox has solid defense and solid offensive weaponry as well. The Knox is armed with a frontal APS railgun that uses an ACB system to choose its ammo, but normally relies on APHE, it also has several medium frag/emp missiles and two large HE torpedoes on the rear. At close ranges the CIWS/AA will also fire small 36mm ap rounds. Defensively the knox is a bit better off, it has a medium size CIWS that fires out fast small AP rounds with great accuracy and also has smoke, strength 10 shields and a LAMS system alongside radar decoys and a lot of small torpedo and missile interceptors. The main built in weakness of the knox is low damage output. As this is a patrol boat, it isn't meant to take on anything too big and doesn't have the best weaponry to do so. The CIWS also only has three layers of armor, two of which are slopes to protect its mid-section so one good shot should destroy it. Lastly, the protection on the medium missiles has been decreased to make them easier to destroy. Expect some time between this post and the next one as I'm working on something big. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If anyone is interested in submitting a vehicle or structure or building something for my faction please let me know, I'll also gladly take suggestions for ships to use as references or ideas for crafts that would fit in with the rest of the faction. If anyone wants any additional information about the faction or campaign, feel free to message me or comment. I've also updated information for the faction in the collection as well. I'm also looking for people to help test out the ships already designed and to provide feedback on potential changes and suggestions along with issues with ships. (on older ships, if steam engines don't work, just message me and I'll update the file) To pile on even mo
