Avicenna frigates are a valuable addition to each space fleet. They serve as tough medical ships and transports, which can quickly retrieve wounded from damaged ship. Also, their armament is good enough to fend off first lighter attacks.



Enlarge image
   Avicenna-class frigates have six main engines that all share one large exhaust. Smaller engines are based on cold-ion, so they are safe to use even in front of any other ship.

   Addition to frigate's firepower, the double missile launchers.



Enlarge image
   Main weapon: Heavy Ion cannon. it may surprise attackers, as shields are most commonly set to block blaster, laser or solid impacts.



Enlarge image
   Double flak cannons. There are four of them in total; covering all of the space around the ship. Useful against smaller ships or to distract capships' fire.

   Bridge and comm/sensor arrays. May seem fragile, but in fact it is a sturdy construction.



Enlarge image
   Mid-section hides reactor cooling vents. It is exposed to attack, but also hard to damage really hard - channels have multiple cut-outs to prevent cooling liquids to leak.



Enlarge image
   This is where main medical decks are, also with hangar for shuttles. Whole front part is thickly plated.

   Hangar bay closed...

   ...and opened, showing four transports hidden inside. They all can get out in one moment.



Enlarge image
   Another useful feature is extendable corriddor which allows the Avicenna ships to connect to other even in unreachable places. All four shuttles out.



Enlarge image
   Each shuttle works also as a fighter, with one blaster mounted on turret.

   One of Avicenna frigates helps Solar Sailer Ra. This one is called Rasputin - as it is not what it looks to be at first glance. Medical frigate that can work also as a battleship and strike from unexpected directions.



Enlarge image
   Docking in hangar bay takes lots of time, as the bay itself is small and cramped. That's why shuttles usually dock to one of four external points.


A word about construction itself: It is based on flexible technic-frame which is well-hidden inside the ship.

looks great, i can see there was much thought put into this creation.. however, theres some inconsistency-i like the way you described your corvette, try to post a side view and state the length of the ship for this one too, etc - doing that will give it more substance . just a hint ;)

Verry nice, especially like the mechanical detail on the side and on the bridge.

Excellent MOC. Kinda heavily armed for a medical ship, tho.

Just great, colour, shape and detail work well together. I did wonder about the guns my self, would you have them on a medical frigate?

Outstanding work Mr. Jerac. Are you related to Jorel, or Surak? With the exception of the guns, this is excellent work. Although I think it would have been better if you reversed the color scheme (more white, less red), it works. The front of the vessel and that docking arm are particularly inspired. Looks great servicing that sail-barge thing. I'd ditch the guns (biggest weakness of the ship) entirely and just build an escort for it, bristling with weapons. Your work keeps getting better and better.
