Today the Military and Commercial Space Fleet of The Allied States of Big Long Now has begun construction on a Lexian class space freighter, currently the ship is named as LEX-110, they also released details on what the ship will contain (engine/defense wise).

2 Ion Propulsion Engines (Capable of max speeds of 3,595MPH)

Naviline® Navigation System (Automapping and Autopilot System)

4,000,000 Gallon Water Storage/Treatment Tanks (Recycled water is filtered and sent through the system again)

3 Forward LaserVII™ Phaser Cannons / 4 Aft

1 Forward Ion Engine Disabler / 1 Aft

Naviline® Targeting System (Target Locking)

Modulatur™ Shields (Modulating Frequencies)

The details are rather secret, in order to keep other nations unable to discover the technology.

The LEX-110 is capable of transporting 1,000 troops, 2 SA-190 Tanks, and 2,000 weapons including weapons ammunition. As soon as the LEX-110 has finished construction, BLN plans to begin construction on the military version of the Lexian class fighter.

You look a little small to be a space nation developing fighters. Perhaps wait a month...
Other than that, it looks good.

Small does not matter, but we are not building the Lexian freighters for military conquest, we plan to use the LEX-110 for cargo transfer at the moment. Our military version of the LEX-110 is not due to go into construction for another two months, and it is merely a prototype right now.
