Radical Logistics

RL - "Radical Logistics"

The ship design workshop "Radical Logistic" was once located on Rea in Galaxy 4. Most design blueprints Radical Logistics used had come from old military ships. They wanted to redesign the old carriers, gunships and bombers that were used in the Sidewinder Revolt event for the civilian market.

Two ships were in production, one was planned when Mickey Moriaty, the head designer left for other projects and never managed to finish them. When speaking over GALnet Mickey Moriaty offered Amah to maintain, distribute and improve the Radical Logistics vessels. He even offered to scan the company's archive to find the blueprints, design and ship's specifications to Project: Lira.

from RL's design team memo: "Almost the same size than a Python it was designed for infantery fast development on ground based combat missions. Due to the character on these kind of incursions the Yasen-N's handling and speed matches lighter ships. These was successfully achieved improving the engines design and losing near half of its cargo capabilities. The Yasen-N flagship supported up to three cannon turrets in order to defend it from anti-aircraft fire, town flying force and guided missiles. None or those turrets are available in the civil basic version but by using the intended but unneeded space of the plasma energy generators for the turrets the cargo hold can be enlarged to 70TC. The 'advanced' Yasen-N however offers a rear turret for deep space trading issues as heavy piracy activity or rock hermit attacks, for example, but is limited to the default cargo hold of 60TC."

Due to GalCOP regulations Radical Logistics had to abandon the plans of producing the three turretted Yasen-N flagship for the civilian market. But according to some unknown insider any commander with the right tools and some deeper knowledge about the internals of the configuration the ship's data and willing to make his hands and conscience dirty can pimp a Yasen-N "Advanced" to have more than one turret.

From the press announcements: "Skat is a very fast ship initially designed for undercover vigilance missions or high-speed personal transport. It serves well as light transport-courier. The Skat was built to run away from problems more than to combat two or three enemy ships at the same time. A good choice for Passenger transport, keeping deadlines, or both."

Lira

Little is known for sure about Project Lira so far: rumours tell the redesigned 51AT is like its sisters Yasen and Skat a fast transport ship. 220 Tons and a speed of 390 were its main feature. Only one picture of the prototype, even lacking a proper paintjob exists so far.
