Report #2:

Following up on our previous report, we are near to finishing the weapons on the 3 Hels. After we struggled with the front Heavy Weapon mount, we replaced large portions of the sections between the bridge and the aforementioned Mounts but we got it properly working, and connected it to the Fire Control systems of the ships. All other turrets on the ship have also been connected to the fire control systems using super conductors. Upon our testing we found the accuracy of the weapons to be satisfactory, and the responsiveness of the weapons was perfect for what we were looking for. Targeting interfaces were installed in the bridges of the ships, and await their programming when the armaments of the Hels are ordered and finalized.

We are currently thinking on 2 LTP-121 turrets mounted on the bottom, and one of our Anti-Matter Projectors on the top-forward slot for each of the Hels, but this has yet to be finalized, if one thing is certain we will have to experiment with what works and what doesnt for these vessels, they do indeed open up newer possibilities for our fleets, and perhaps the doctrine difference will not be as severe as we are expecting, yet I feel we cannot afford to shoot blindly in the dark with these ships. We will have to use them, monitor them, and improve them.

We finished off the implementing of our Xiphos turrets by giving them their own tracking systems and sensors distinct from the heavier anti-capital weapons and located more locally to the weapons themselves, the Xiphos turrets being operated in 4 inter-connected groups. The Xiphos turrets can still be operated directly from the bridge, and can be told to focus specific targets capital targets, while still acting more autonomously as anti-light and anti-projectile weapons. We have learned from our skirmishes with the Core and Bounty Hunters guild that effective anti-fighter is not an area we can afford to take short-cuts on.


Some areas where the main protection were titanium alloys were replaced, or covered in additional protection using an ablative armor plating. These areas include the areas around all turrets, the bridge, and the engines.


Dr. Bautista alongside working on the front weapons mount, has also done some minor work on the life support systems on the ship, using xeno-biotic filters to make them more efficient, and require supplies less often. We also made a choice to add additional blast-doors and in ship armor to help protect the interior from as much damage as we can. The addition of safty measures was finished extremely quick after all areas that needed work on that front were cataloged, and organized.
