Agosta

"A well-rounded assault ship."

In-Game Description
This classic assault ship helped defend Jupiter Arms convoys as they transported terraformers between Mars and the Jovian system. While this vessel shows its age, Sinley Bay modders have done a solid job resurrecting it.

Lore
The Agosta is a bare-bones Tier 1 Destroyer that’s quick and maneuverable. Its biggest strength lies in its primary weapon, which fires high-energy particles that are ideal for hitting opponents at medium range.

Overview
The Agosta is a well equipped ship for most engagements, and offers those a versatile, though basic, starting ship. Rapid fire repeater turrets lets the captain engage in long range fights, with secondary flack turrets serving as a warning to those who risk getting up close and personal. Decent maneuverability lets the ship reposition quickly as well. Long range missiles and medium range torpedos offer powerful solutions to any encounter, and a powerful point defense system lets a good captain clear an area quickly. Should the need arise, a module reboot is available to reduce the Agosta's module cooldowns quickly. Lastly, the low shield energy consumption of the ship lets it boost its defenses for a short while to survive a fight.

Unlike higher tier destroyers, the Agosta lacks any customization for its modules (aside from improved versions of the ones equipped). It's health, while high, means it can't survive direct broadsides from enemy dreadnaughts without decent skill on the captains part. Because this ship is also a Tier 1, you may encounter enemy Tier 2 ships such as Trafalgar's or Nav's.
