Showcase : Hercules Class Escort Frigate

Mainly used as light support for most fleets, the Hercules Class is renowned for its high speed and reliability. Needing very little maintenance the frigate can take a tremendous amount of punishment with very little adverse effect on its main systems. While not having the offensive capability of the Perceus Class Frigate it should never be overlooked by any fleet commander as its four 88mm Hydra Cannons are highly effective at taking out incoming torpedoes before they hit any capital ships. -- Taken from its Web Epoch Tech Tree Entry

The 'Herc' as its also known has become the mascot of the Epoch universe. Its the ship every one likes to use. In Epoch 3D it will be highly used by the military authorities for chasing down pirates and smugglers. If players manage to build up enough credits they can buy and pilot their own Herc, and try it out first hand. The ship is included in the first release of Epoch 3D, the image above is in fact a screenshot. In Epoch 3D the weapon systems will be configurable so it won't necessary have Hydra cannons. It also has a rear energy weapon mount for shooting down pursuing ships. Over the course of the next few months will we show case other aspects of Epoch 3D before it goes live. Feel free to comment!
