This is my first real project of my vacation...

The ship of the Heart Break Pirates, Captained by Alma Anzar Ruiz... The Honest Mistake.

The pirates don't live out of the ship, they have a home base, but this ship is their livelihood... they use it for everything, and it has enough supplies to operate for one month without resupplying. This is of course with a crew of three... the Honest Mistake can sustain up to twenty people crammed in it before the oxygen systems start to give way.

The ship is mainly for hauling cargo, the original use of it was as a surveyor and asteroid tug, so it has enough engine power, range, and cargo capacity to act as a proper pirate ship... the ship was originally Emile's, Alma added extensive defensive and offensive systems to allow the ship to stand up to targets that are capable of fighting back. Her main armaments are three heavy laser turrets, a pair of rocket pods, a pair of plasma bomb launchers, an EMP projector, and a mine launcher to discourage pursuers.

Kijuuki would be added to the crew later, and with him came more modifications to the Honest Mistake, mainly the Mirage Circuit. The Mirage Circuit is a series of complex IFF and EW systems combined with an array of hologram projectors around the ship. With this the Honest Mistake can project an illusion of another ship around it and mimic it's electronic signature from a distance... good scanners can easily breach this trick, but you have to actually go out of the way to scan the ship... it foils normal passive scanners rather nicely, at least from a reasonable distance.

The ship also has a modified Negative Energy Drive, allowing it to cruise at a comfortable 94 light years per day, but also allows an overdrive of a speed approaching 122 light years per day, but that stresses the systems and is generally a last resort.

In space the Honest Mistake is fast, but not the most maneuverable ship. She can accelerate at a rate of 4680 m/s^2 maximum (slower than light speed of course) at her lightest cargo capacity, and can travel at a max speed of mach 7 in an atmosphere.
