About the PR

Adds the Brigantine, a Medium-scale Security hub meant for aiding long-term deployment of Security assets into deep-space; providing portable prison-space and storage for security equipment.

Why / Balance

Security ships are divided into tiny patrol craft, mid-sized specialized ships, and massive $100k+ megaliths.

This ship aims to fill the gap by providing a cheap alternative to the more expensive Security ships. It lacks some of the QOL features that larger or more expensive ships provide, and its simple design certainly isn't going to draw the eye, but that's part of the point. It's cheap, and it'll get the job done even if the Security team isn't able to afford the "best" NT has to offer.

Technical details

Appraisal Value: $23263
Estimated Price: $30k
Ship Class: Medium; 263 Tiles.

3 Prison Cells (and 'drobe for prisoners)
IFF Computer
Security Techfab
RTG-Powered
2x Kammerer (Armory Safe, +Ammo)
2x WT550 (Armory Safe, +Ammo)
2x Deputy Locker
3x Tracking Implants
Baliff's Hardsuit

Comes with several blast door systems designed to lock down the main areas of the ship in the event of an emergency.

War crimes are built in! Comes with a riot gas system for administering N20 to the cells and prison deck, as well as an atmospheric drain system to remove gasses afterwards.

the idea of a mid-sized prisoner focused ship is actually pretty great. While I like the concept, the design is a bit lacking. Your rooms are all shaped the same, and its lacking the finer touches like decals. I do like the idea though, and with space law being put into effect, we do in fact need a ship of this type, for smaller pop situations where they still need a decent perma.

My suggestion is, instead of it being 2 mostly empty cells, turn half of the ship into more of a livable perma brig, and the other half being for prison guards. The ship can fit the role of prisoner care that the empress does, only on a much smaller scale for a much smaller operation etc.

I might fully restructure it around a more circular or conical base, instead of the grid design it's currently made of. The reason for its simplicity was an attempt to keep the price as far down as I could, and to try for a more brutalist architectural design, hence the concrete cell floors and identical prison cell design, and so on. The brig on most stations features identical prison cells, so in part I was following that design.

It could instead be two 1x2 cells and a permabrig area, so I will probably attempt to rearrange it for that purpose before anything else.

If I changed its design pretty much at all currently, it would have to become larger to accommodate the extra brig/perma space, machines, and utilities. I'll take a thunk at it, let me know if there's anything else specific you'd want changed.
