The EAD Lindos is an oddly shaped Earth Alliance destroyer. It is, however, one of the most ferocious ships ever seen. With its numerous beam cannons, a Lindos can easily cripple any opponent.
Contents
Description:
Inferno R1 Description
The huge Lindos-class is probably the most oddly-designed warship ever constructed by mankind. Bristling with dozens of beam cannons and rapid fire turrets, nearly all of her firepower is concentrated on her forward quarter. Allied Command has lost several destroyers to Lindos strikes, as they are capable of delivering a crippling assault the moment they get into beam range.
Inferno Nostos Description
Martian strike destroyer.
If there are places a warship should never dare to go, in front of a Lindos destroyer must surely be one of them. Five beam cannons and three heavy torpedo launchers lets the Lindos rival even the formidable Boreas class in frontal firepower. Fortunately, the Lindos has no other heavy armaments other than those mounted on the forward quarter, and the torpedo launchers have an extremely limited ammunition capacity, causing many Lindos captains to have to commit to battle without a supply of deadly long-range torpedoes at their disposal. Anti-fighter arnmanent is particularly weak in the forward quarter of the Lindos, meaning the best protection against a Lindos shock jump is often a vigilant fighter screen.
Name origin
Lindos is a town on the Rhodes island.

Developer Notes
Originally reworked in 2016, I decided to rework it again to keep Lindos consistent with the rest of PBR EA ships.
