EDF Long Range Patrol
Before the war, the most common sightings of Kingdom ships were the Kingdom's long range patrols. These squadrens often appeared from seemingly no-where to aid civilian ships under pirate attack.
If you're fleet contains civilian vessels, you can field one long range patrol squadren. The squadren will only remain on the field as long as there are civilian vessels to protect. The patrol is not deployed with the rest of your fleet, instead coming in on one of the edges on the second turn.
A long range patrol squadren consists of one Patrol Cruiser and two Escort Destroyers.
This is one of the few exceptions when an escort is attached to a smaller vessel.

Firestorm Armada - The (Independent) Kingdom - Overview of New Faction
The Kingdom
The Kingdom (sometimes referred to as The Independent Kingdom) is a minor non-aligned power operating in, but not based in, the Storm Zone.
Not much is known about The Kingdom, but the following has been pieced together by various intelligence, journalist, economic, and think-tank organizations.
The Kingdom (TK) is not actually located within the Storm Zone. It's not entirely clear where the Kingdom is located. However it appears that TK exploited the power vacuum between the major powers and set up numerous resource gathering, heavy zero-grav industries, and logistical outposts throughout the Storm Zone.
TK systems appear to be located at random throughout the zone. Scattered and isolated, they appear to be connected by chains of hidden logistical outposts. There is no clear count of TK systems as TK seems to jealously protect their existence by eliminating any ships that stumble upon them. There are only a few known hubs, which serve as market hubs for pirates, traders, and corporations, which are open to the public. Though access and movement throughout these orbital stations is tightly controlled.There are even fewer known mining and manufacturing systems.Only those operations that are simply too large to hide are known. Even in these couple of systems ships are warned to leave immediately or be destroyed.
In what may seem like a contradiction to the above behavior, TK seems to have a rather benevolent view of civilian shipping. TK naval patrols often aid civilian merchant vessels in distress or under pirate attack. Infact the TK seems to follow some sort of agressive policy of neutrality of civilian shipping. Recently this has brought it into conflict with the major powers as both sides regularly raid what they view as enemy merchant vessles.

Firestorm Armada - Alternate Weapon Systems for EDF ships
The EDF battleships both sport powerful but single target weapon systems. While this does make the EDF ships cheaper, at also leaves them more inflexible as they are unable to engage more than one target. A possible solution would be to split the forward and aft turret batteries into two separate weapon systems.
Single System Turret
RB1: 12 RB2: 16 RB3: 8 RB4: 5
Fore/Aft Turrets
RB1: 8 RB2: 11 RB3: 6 RB4: 4
Linked, this would give approximately the same effectiveness against a single target, and add more flexibility.
There is an issue with the escort in that escorts cannot have turrets. A possible fix would be to make the weapon forward arc, and add +1 to PD.
