Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

Here is another smallish warship I've been tinkering with lately. Bigger than a corvette, smaller and slower than most destroyers, the Cygnus would mainly be used for solo patrol work. When used in a fleet action it would be primarily responsible for popping enemy Dropships or light Warships (which I think it can do quite well). Another important consideration is that could be produced at some of the larger Jumpship yards (at least in theory).

personally in my forces I would rate this either as a Light Destroyer Escort, or a low end frigate, but either way it look's solid from the quick game play dice roll system I use for quick battle eval's.
