Re: [OFFICIAL] Re: National Characteristics?

Of course this omits the U.N.S.C. vessels, which is alright since they
are
highly classified....but what the heck, i'll let you in on the secret.
U.N.S.C. ships tend to look dark due to the RAM (Radar Absorbent
Material)
they are encased in, this also follows the "Blach Helicopter" tradition.
As far as armaments go the smaller vessels tend to be highly specialized
(the ever popular pulse torp destroyer, uni-directional bean gunboat,
and
the fleet defense ships as some examples).  Cruisers tend to be more
powerfull on their front arcs than anywhere else, with the two following
ships as classic examples:

Defiant class:

Mass:36
thrust:6

4 A-batts forward firing
2 B-batts forward firing
2 screens
2 PDAF's

Vor'cha class:

1 pulse torp
2 A-batts forward firing
2 B-batts forward firing
2 screens
2 PDAF

essentially the same ship with minor alterations.

Capitals on the other hand tend to be multi role ships,  bristling with
beam weaponry and full screens, the occational ship having average to
good
thrust. 

Carriers are usually dedicated heavy capitals ( mass 100, 8 fighter
groups, nothing else)  or small escort caps (mass 38, 3 fighter groups,1
PDAF or C-batt).
 
Now that you know U.N. secrets, don't go divulging them arround,
espcially
to any bipedal insectoids, green blobs, little grey men, or Elvis
Impersonators (everybody KNOWS they are really alien agents)  you might
see out there.
