  info: 'Designed to be the ultimate solution to all solar system infrastructure hauling
    needs, the Avalanche-class Freighter was conceived. Expertise provided by ORE''s
    experience with their Bowhead design was invaluable in installing the gigantic
    infrastructure hold and powered slots for modules, while scientists from Mordu''s
    Legion were able to outfit the Avalanche with new advanced missile guidance routines
    for auto-targeting missiles as well as installing missile armaments that could
    put most Battleships to shame.


    The Avalanche is also capable of fitting capital sized shield flex hardener modules,
    thanks to a collaborative effort between Chemal Tech, Eifyr and Co and Propel
    Dynamics, although this, on top of the gigantic infrastructure hold it possesses
    has come at the expense of it having far too large and turbulent of a digital
    signature to be able to use a cloaking device.'

## Summary

</div>
The Avalanche is a capital-sized hull like other freighters, but its Powergrid and CPU is slightly lower than the average T1 battleship, which means it cannot fit true capital-sized modules -- with the exception of Capital Flex Shield Hardeners for which it receives a 90% reduction in fitting requirements due to its Role Bonus. A 500MN Microwarpdrive is the largest prop module it can support, and battleship-sized weapon modules are the largest it can fit. 

With perfect navigation skills, skill hardwiring implants, agility modules, and an overheated 500MN MWD II or better, the Avalanche can achieve a 10-second align time to warp by pulsing the MWD. 

The Avalanche can also fit an impressive buffer tank and can also deal a great amount of missile damage due to its bonuses.
