Notes The Shaman utilizes mass/volume freed by the reduction of the standard 150cm PCL-3 graser to 25cm to incorporate the added after countermissile launchers, increased EW/ECM capacity, strengthened sidewalls (Jason Alvarez CA equivalent), a larger fission pile (25% greater short-term generation capacity than PCL-3 base), crew quarters and life support for the EW/ECM crew, and 16 additional Beta² impeller nodes, for a total of 16 per ring.
The extra impeller nodes have no direct effect on the craft’s acceleration but do allow it to tow up to three GSN/RMN-standard stealthed missile pods with no degradation in maximum acceleration and double its FTL pulse Com transmission rate.
Limited consumables capacity due to mass/volume constraints limits the on-station lurk time to 60 days on Full Ration, 90 days on Short Commons, or 180 days at Half Ration.
