Experimental 300dt ASD Gunboat/Tender, TL12/17

ASD GUNBOAT/TENDER, Mk.4

Built upon the original Antique Systems Defense Boat design, this vessel meets mission parameters for long duration and low maintenance. This higher technology ship (TL12+) has a mix of new and older technology solutions. The hull has been upgraded to Imperial standard using Crystal-iron instead of Titanium for armor. And finally for deep space missions, the vessel incorporates a new Anti-Matter Reactor along with an advanced fusion drive and Warp FTL along with Particle Accelerator Bay weapon for extra punch. (Covert missions get Stealth and a Plantier Shield generator.)
