The Shearwater was designed as a long-range Carrier/Gunship. Her poor turn-rate, heavy weaponry, and first rate shields make her the choice ship for cargo transportation, salvage operations, defense contracts, or fleet logistics. She isn't equipped to catch runners, but put something in range of the turrets and the captain is calling the shots.

Additional Notes

This ship and a few other space ships I made were on a server that AcedeCase from /r/0x10c started for people to design ships in anticipation for the new game.
still need to finish furniture and get a couple shots with shuttles and turrets in action.
