This is the beautiful skybox I used: Skybox Cassily + Speed mod (Star Wolves 2 Civil War)
Full credit for the skybox goes of course to AssHunter

The maximum operational radius for normal drones is 5km. The recon drone however can work as an access point to extend this radius to a maximum of 20 km. For this you have to establish a direct Lantenna connection to the cruiser and turn on the onboard antenna. Then you can control your normal drones in a distance of 5km to the recon drone.

Additionally, the recon drone can of course be used as a spy drone. Just establish a Lantenna connection to the cruiser and deactivate the normal antenna to be in "silent flight". This can be very useful for a first strike attack or an assassination. Just be careful, because in case you loose direct sight to the cruiser, your drone will be lost. And its Lantenna will be directed at your cruiser!

The ship is ready for survival and can be completely pressurized. An airlock seperates the hangar from the most important parts of the ship.

I didnt implement the detachable armor panels, like on the Atlas-class frigate. Was nice to have, but no practical use. I would implement it though if there would be interest in this feature.

- Hangar Bay
- Reactor Bay

Exploration? Well this ship is totally capable of surviving on its own in vast space.
No mods. No rotors. No pistons. 348.000 polygons.
