The Hutt Darran-Tan Destroyer is now added for the Criminal Underworld as well as the Hutt Cartels minor faction.

The Darran-Tan Destroyer can be best compared to the Victory star destroyer, but smaller and slightly weaker. It has slightly less overall HP, but with powerful weapons.
It has the forward firepower of the:
Munificents Heavy turbolaser cannon,
one of the Providences broadside torpedo launcher,
Half the Victorys quad turbolaser damage
All in targetable hardpoints.
In untargetable weapons, it has a third of the Victorys heavy missiles, that also fire at a trajectory, and 1x the Victories frontal ion cannon.

While the Darran-Tan Destroyer is only around 750 meters in length, it packs a serious punch in both shield penetrating weapons, non shield penetrating weapons, and stunning ion cannons. However it carries no starfighters and cannot defend itself against bombers at all with its heavy weaponry. Excellent in combination with the Tarrada medium frigate, which can screen starfighters relatively well.

There is also a ridiculous amount of work being done right now to try and cram everything we can into the 4.0 release. If you have a look at the changelog channel on discord you'll see what I mean. The changelog channel gets only the bigger parts of what we're doing, and moddb gets a far smaller portion of that even.

I'm sure I speak for most when I say we appreciate 4.0 being stuffed with a Hutt-ton of content. You guys do awesome work.

I love it, They look like Kusari Ships from Freelancer. So that is an Instant win for me.

Must say I'm a bit fan of the visuals of the Hutt units as well. With how prominently they will feature in the Underworld unit roster, there'll be plenty of opportunities to look at them as well, either when blasting them or when controlling them.

Very fitting to be named after the father of the Hutt fleet

Description

While the Hutt built Darran-Tan Destroyer is a lighter warship than what the Empire might prefer for its Destroyers, it packs a powerful punch for its size. Equipped with heavy weapons, its armaments include heavy turbolaser cannons, proton torpedo and heavy missile launchers, dual turbolasers and medium ion cannons. The signature Hutt Destroyer excels at providing heavy anti-ship fire support, and is best used in combination with the multi-role cruiser and its Starfighter garrison to form a versatile fleet. Caught alone, the Darran-Tan has no anti-starfighter protection and can be picked appart by bombers.

Thanks to Warb_Null for the model, Kharak for the textures, Jeroen for the rigging and coding.
