Introducing Tycho Defense Systems
A wholly owned subsidiary of Deimos Staryards, Tycho aims to deliver a new line of warships to face the threats of tomorrow. Unlike their parent company, Tycho utilizes technology from across the Settled Systems in partnership with the Freestar Collective, something not possible before the Terrormorph crisis.
Presently, you can find Tycho ships for sale at the Deimos Staryard in the Sol System.
New Ship Weaponry
- MAC Anti Ship Railguns Available in B Class and C Class variants. While they have a slow rate of fire, they features unparalleled range and impact. The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon enables Starships to strike first, and strike hard.
The MAC fires projectiles faster and further than regular ballistics, with an increased damage to shields - If you can land your shots. Also available as a standalone mod, search "MAC Series Railguns".
Next Generation UC Navy Warships
- Vanguard Class Destroyer A dedicated hunter-killer, this class was designed to be able to identify, engage and eliminate hostile ships before they can return fire effectively. The Vanguard comes in two configurations - a MAC equipped primary loadout, and a missile destroyer alternative.
- Madrigal Class Frigate Built entirely around the MAC-55 medium railgun, the Madrigal Class excels as an escort ship as well as an independent patrol vessel.NEW
- NEW! Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser A heavyweight cruiser, built to lead UC battlegroups. Short of a battleship, the Marathon Class represents the height of Navy firepower and armour.
Uses the following mods:
- Stroud Premium Edition
- Intrinity Aeroworks. PLEASE NOTE: Intrinity currently requires a fix to boot correctly. Search "Intrinity Aeroworks Fix".
- Better Ship Part Flips
- ASC Deimos
- Place Doors Yourself
- Ship Vendor Framework
