ES Lisboa Mk III -Avoider Hybrid
The ES Lisboa Mk III deviates from its former interceptor design, now being an avoider/orbiter hybrid. While forward speed remains ample, the Mk III expands the engine rack to become more nimble and maneuverable to bring its 8 low damage but accurate Heavy Blasters into position where it hurts. While the 4 large shields and 20 PD-guns form a relatively strong defense, the Mk III’s main way of mitigating damage is by avoiding it via its repartoire of maneuvers. It is able to act as a standalone warship, though excels as a flanking escort for larger ships than itself.
