Knightmare Defense Industries presents the Wendigo Class Frigate II. The original Wendigo has served with distinction as one of KDI's most reliable and well armed designs. During its service life, numerous modifications have been proposed. The Wendigo II is a general overhaul of the ship with a focus on the interior and improving the power grid and engines through more efficient design. While the original Wendigo performed well, the interior layout was relatively inefficient and the new model corrects that deficiency. The design has also been brought up to KDI G3 (Generation 3) standards. The name for the ship comes from Algonquian folklore, where wendigo is a mythical man-eating creature or evil spirit.

The Wendigo II uses a reliable pure Ion Engine design that produces over 31 MN of thrust. Though not as powerful as hybrid Hydrogen-Ion designs such as can be found on the Amarok and Eridania, pure Ion Engines allow for simpler logistics, quicker resupply and longer mission endurance. The Jump Drives are capable of a maximum Jump Distance of 3,218 KM. The ship carries 20 large turrets, 10 each of Gatling and Missile, with 13 Interior Turrets and 10 forward facing Rocket Launchers. Power is supplied by 2 Large Reactors, with several Small Reactors and Batteries as backup. The ship's hull is mostly light armor, with layers of heavy armor at the front and around critical ship components. The ship has a medical bay, basic refinery, assembler, and survival kit.

The ship is built fully vanilla and survival ready, with an interior in the style of "The Expanse." I use a light changing script to switch around the interior light settings. Its an older script and I couldn't find the original creator. The script was updated by ColTeH for my use. I used some of Whiplash141's scripts on the ship, including their braking script for "flip and burn" situations, and a few of their mods for taking the screenshots. The mods I used to assist with the screenshots came recommended by Taidyr, who makes some fantastic content as well. I used Darth Biomech's Milky Way Skybox mod as well. Links below. I got inspiration for this ship from ships shown in The Expanse RPG book, I highly recommend The Expanse's books and show.

Please feel free to modify the ship to fit your in game needs. Just be sure to give credit to the original creator.


Important Notes

The turrets are labeled, but not set up in groups for use with Whip's AI turret slaving script. At least, not yet. I may include that in the future, or you can do it yourself if you so wish. There is a free program block available for this purpose.

Whip's automatic door script is equipped but disabled. Enable if you want that.


Author's Notes
So this is a little bit of a first for me. Its probably the first true refit I've done. I gutted the original Wendigo and set about modifying it, unlike other successor ships where I've always started from scratch. My main goal was to try and increase the acceleration, and while I succeeded, the increase is pretty marginal, and comes at the price of a heavier ship, with decreased reverse thrust. The design is also slightly longer by 2 blocks, with increased PCU and block size. Fortunately there are some very good improvements, such as the aesthetics, interior, features, and overall design efficiency. The features namely include the stuff I'm referring to in the lore as KDI G3. This includes an improved paint scheme, more consistent design features like LCD's, docking lights, program blocks, labeling, the gunner's seat, and probably a couple other things I'm forgetting. I still like the old version a lot, but I think this is a suitable successor to it. I hope it serves you all well.


If you have any questions, comments or feedback about the ship, please leave them in the comments below. I'm always looking to improve upon my work. If you enjoy the Wendigo II Frigate, likes are greatly appreciated. Thank you for browsing this item. Safe Voyages! Papple.

Thanks! I like the original shape a lot, but my older paint schemes were lacking quite a bit. Plus some aspects of the design weren't very efficient. This improves upon all of that.
