Explanations
Vulcan Cannon Point Defence Galting Laser Network
The Vulcan Cannon System is similar to the Phalanx Laser Network, but has been scaled down, and in addition has the added ability to track and shoot down starfighters in the immediate vicinty of the gunship. The System reduces the percentage of short-range missile strikes to less than 25%, and long range attacks to under 15%. In addition, it can destroy 1 out of 25 starfighters per a minute per cannon. The gunship is equipped with 6 6-Barrel cannons.
Rerouting Stations:
The Rerouting Stations on the Gunship can allow it to transfer 10% power in one post from one system to another system, such as from engines to shields, or vice-versa.
Background Information
The Intrepid was designed as an answer to the need for a small ship that could defend itself well in battle, and serve as a fast anti-starfighter ship, and provide fire support against large captial warships.

I guess you could say that, but for the most part these cannons aren't like normal weapons in that they aren't as big, nor are they an offensive weapon. These cannons are purely for defensive measures.

The "Vulcan Cannon...Network" adds an additional 6 weapon emplacements to what's listed under "Weapons," correct?

I disagree, most turbolasers aren't pinpoint enough to engage starfighters from any but the smallest of ranges. And even then they're still crap.

It's anti-cappy. But if any starfighters get within 1.5 kilometers, it's extremley anti-fighter, meaning it's a good close support vessel for larger ships that are vulnerable to strafing.

A ship doesn't necessarily have to fit with its role, but its just stupid to call it something it isn't!
Which is it Kraken? Anti-cappy or anti-fighter?

If this is an anti-starfighter ship, slap some laser cannons on there and remove the turbolasers.
