MoorlineV Hull Configuration

Lineships for the primary fighting element of the Protectorate fleet. Rapidly refit from seized commercial freighters and pressed into service during the blockade of the Kribensis gate. This series of lineship is built from container carriers, designed to carry hundreds of boxes of cargo in racks along the outside of the hull. These ships primarily serve as missile and utility carriers.

Moorline Hull Configuration

Mounts

MoorlineV Mounts

The Moorline has

   * 1 Class 4 Mount
   * 2 Class 3 Mounts

Compartments

MoorlineV Compartments

The Moorline's compartments can be divided into two groups

The Bow-stack

Of these, compartments 1 and 2 are ironically the safest, being the most exposed but also least likely to get hit.

Deck Gear Lockers are used to buff the arming speed of craft.

Two Spacecraft Strikedown Stations can be used to cycle four Sturgeon bombers at once.

Remember, a Spacecraft Repair Station comes built into the base hull for free!

The Center-stack

Compartment 7 and 8 are the Journeyman's dedicated hangar compartments, where you place your Bulk Internal Hangars.

Compartment 6 is the dedicated magazine slot. 90% of the time it should be a Reinforced Magazine, unless you do not have enough space and need to swap it to a Bulk Magazine.

Modules

MoorlineV Modules

The Moorline has

   * 1 Large Drive Module
   * 1 Small Drive Module
   * 4 3x3 Modules

On Carrier Moorlines, the 3x3 Modules will typically contain 3-4 Flight Deck Traversal Systems. It is necessary to bring a Civilian Reactor to power them if you bring more than one, as the base power generation of your drive choices is insufficient. However, you can power 4 of them or even 3 and a Ithaca Bridgemaster

Drive Setup

There are many ways to set up a Journeyman's drive, and the best way will depend on the role you are building the ship for.
Sundrives and CHI-9100 Long Haul Drive provide the best top speed, allowing you to reposition across the map quickly when under threat.
CHI-7700 Drive provide the best angular thrust (AT), allowing your ship to pivot and change its heading and roll quickly. Useful for maintaining a high speed while at flight quarters.
BW1500 Drive, to save costs.
BW2000 Drive, for its power generation at the cost of every other useful stat
Civilian Reactor/Boosted Reactors fit into the small drive slots, allowing you to power radars and bring more than one Flight Deck Traversal System.

Moorlines may find themselves appreciating the CHI-9100 Long Haul Drive for its quick repositioning, or a basic BW1500 Drive to save points.
