"Have you ever wanted to tend to the charred remains of a crew who had their vessel on fire, while simultaneously putting out the fire, and securing the perimeter from the fauna that caused the fire in the first place? Not particularly? Alright, to the internship you go."
— Commissioner Gorre Donn during recrutation.
Introduction
The Ranger-class is a Vigilitas rescue vessel, manned primarly by a Loss Prevention Squad and equipped for dealing with emergencies of many types. You are equipped to grant medical, engineering and combat-related aid.
List of standard equipment and features:
- A Nanotrasen-provided AI core.
- A decently equipped medical bay.
- Plenty of specialized engineering equipment, such as advanced firefighting gear, jaws of life and a holofan projector.
- One Saber SMG, one Energy Rifle and two Commander pistols.
- Full telecommunications array that allows for easy contact with your crew and linking with other ships.
Gameplay
- As a rescue ship, you will be answering distress signals of many different kinds, ranging from broken vessels that need engineering care, to medical emergencies with potential need for an armed response.
- When not after distress signals, a good thing to do linking your telecommunications to other Nanotrasen-related ships. You can also attempt to act as an escort for other Nanotrasen-related ships, protecting them from threats proactively.
- In addition, Ranger's bridge starts with multiple holodisks that contain corporate-issued missions that you can work towards completing.
