IMPORTANT NOTE: the gyros are off by default for some reason, there is a gyro group, toggle it off and on and the problem fixes itself :D

The Monolith Class Heavy BattleCruiser is a ship designed around an anti super-capital battery of 18 forward railguns. The ship is armed with an additional 11 artillery turrets, 6 gatling gun turrets for Point Defense, 9 custom anti-fighter turrets each outfitted with 4 autocannons and 2 gatling guns, as well as a large dual mount custom railgun turret slung under the main hull. It extremely heavy armor grants the ship improved survivability at the cost of its mobility, being very sluggish in all vectors of acceleration, though the ships gyroscopic control is surprisingly good for a ship of its size and weight. This massive weight also means that the ship is incapable of flight in heavy gravity, though no testing of this was actually conducted. Many of the onboard systems have numerous redundancies to help combat the ships crippling inability to consistently dodge incoming fire. The ship also possesses an interior hangar, though its small size limits it to only carrying small fighter craft. The Mk-2's Interior is a massive improvement over the earlier designs of the monolith, and provides better amenities to the crew.. Overall this ship excels in engaging large, slow moving or stationary single targets from range and overwhelming them with sheer firepower.

The first toolbar has controls for most of the ship's combat systems, including (In order) the forward railgun protection doors, the firing sequence for the forward railgun salvo, the forward aiming camera, controls for the artillery cannons, and the repair projector and welders. The second toolbar has controls for thrusters, thrust override, o2 and hydrogen tanks, batteries, and the onboard reactor core. The third toolbar has the controls for the ship's jump drives and o2/h2 generators. The gunners seats allow the crew to control the custom turrets, with main gunners controlling the custom railgun turret. Do be aware that the railgun turret has hinge and rotor lock enabled, and the button panel directly in front of the seat controls that.

LORE:
During the opening months of the first Atlesian war, the newly formed Incian Imperial Navy found itself with a problem; the faction used to be one of peaceful trading, and as such had a near total lack of combat capable vessels. while the Atlesians didnt possess a strong standing navy, it was still more than sufficient at dealing with the pitiful converted merchant ships at the Incian navy's disposal. As such, the incian navy rushed to produce capable combat machines to stop the Atlesian counter-advance. The result of this hard work was the Javelin Class Destroyer, and the Monolith Class Heavy BattleCruiser. Both proved to be capable warships, but even then they initially earned reputations as uncomfortable, near uninhabitable death traps due to their rushed production. On top of this, they were horribly inefficient and unoptimized. Once the Atlesians had been repelled, it became clear that the ships were in desperate need of overhaul. As such, the Monolith Mk-2 was introduced as a replacement. Sporting an upgraded reactor core, much more ergonomic interior, better onboard computer systems, and an internal hangar bay, there was an almost immediate improvement in morale amongst the crews of these vessels. The Mk-2 was also one of the first Incian ships to receive a combat radar. Overall, the project was deemed a rousing success, and the MK-2 entered full production as a result.
