RE: KV Railguns vs armour pt 2/2 (full ship conversion to FTFB)

Brendan,

This is why we having been looking at the whole Kra'Vak ship, and trying
to balance out each core component, So we can safely bring the Kra'Vak
upto Fleet book status. You are Correct in your statment any Kra'Vak
ship
should be able to destroy its Human counterpart - This is unchanged from
FTMT. If we incress the mass of railguns and scatterguns, then we must
lower some other mass. The list has pretty much chosen lowering hull
mass, to cover this incress.
