 The drones are capable of carrying out whatever strategy is programmed in, but the amount of Autonomy given to them is up to their controller. They can be set to operate under preset guidelines to minimize their OODA loop, be flown remotely, or some combination of the two. The drones are capable of carrying out whatever strategy is programmed in, but the amount of Autonomy given to them is up to their controller.

-While the ship is only intended to be good in combat, it is designed to be exceptional in logistics. Many of the important components simply bolt onto the main superstructure. Many of these components are also made out of huge size [[stararmy:standard_starship_cargo_containers]] making spare parts easy to transport. The ship also has numerous redundant groups of parts. It is expected that over the lifetime of the ship parts will eventually fail, but even with many of its computer clusters, engines, and weapons non-functional the ship can still be close to fully capable. Maintenance crews can swap out components with fresh ones in minutes to minimize the ship's downtime.+While the ship is only intended to be good in combat, it is designed to be exceptional in logistics.

-The [[nepleslia:c3]] was [[character:heram_j._wazu|Wazu's]] primary ship design for Nepleslia following the establishment of [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]] and shortly after the first C3s were being produced Wazu was looking at ways to improve upon the design. The next cruiser design needed to be faster, have longer range weapons, and increasingly complex technologies to keep the crew safe while destroying targets at exceptional range. The next design also needed to be more expendable, easier to use, easier to produce, and far less complex. Many of these design elements would conflict with each other, and the solution was to design a larger fleet group rather than just a single ship. The result was development of a manned, fast, and sophisticated Cruiser 4 design along side the slower, robust, and expendable Cruiser 5 design. +The [[faction:nepleslia:starship_classes:c3]] was [[character:heram_j._wazu|Wazu's]] primary ship design for Nepleslia following the establishment of [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]] and shortly after the first C3s were being produced Wazu was looking at ways to improve upon the design.

-The development of the ship was troubled at best. With [[character:heram_j._wazu|Wazu]] leaving [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|DION]] the need for the design evaporated, leaving little reason to work on it besides curiosity. The first drafts of the design were for a battleship scale weapon platform built into an asteroid. +The development of the ship was troubled at best.

-These designs were later scrapped, and the program started from scratch. A large drone was developed with large sensor arrays, powerful lasers, and a vast supply of frozen water to act as a heat sink. The result was a large, ugly, ship with a lot of complex components. This design would also be scrapped. +The first drafts of the design were for a battleship scale weapon platform built into an asteroid. These designs were later scrapped, and the program started from scratch.

 Other ideas and weapon combinations were then explored resulting in a string of preliminary designs for both crewed and uncrewed ships that used a similar but simplified C3 design. These too were scrapped for a variety of reasons.  Other ideas and weapon combinations were then explored resulting in a string of preliminary designs for both crewed and uncrewed ships that used a similar but simplified C3 design.
