Well, I certainly can't imagine a SDN with less than average hull plus
armour.
Aesthetically, I see weapon mounts placed well away from the hull. I
immediately think they must generate huge amounts of power so they
should be
very nasty weapons. A wave gun or nova cannon seems like a possibility,
but
they could just be railguns, class 4 beams, pulse torpedoes, or need to
be
away from the hull to generate two screens. Possibly, they should use a
new
weapon system like Heavy Beam Weapons from EFSB, or energy mines. In my
opinion, FT needs a good area effect weapon and a more competitive
needle
beam weapon.
Mass wise, this ship doesn't look much more massive than anyone else's
SDN.
