Re: Ship Stats Question

I think it is more frigate sized as well but armed like a small patrol
boat
<G>.

As far as helos in space, we are used as transport, Medevac, Patrol, and
interception of unarmed targets.  I guess a pinnace would be more like
it.

RHI- Rigid Hulled Inflatable.  Lowered from the ship to carry a boarding
team to another vessel for customs/security/safety boarding.

I think that the size does not really fit well with GZG.  Its a bit
large
for the capabilities.  Inclusion of larger crew is due to older systems
that
require more humans in the loop plus a larger damage control group.

One thing that I did notice.  Crew size includes Non-Rated crew that are
learning their jobs.  These could be included in Stargrunt or FMA:S
boarding
ops as an extra section of greens.

I'm sorry.  You have the wrong mail list.  This is the Digital Camera /
Medieval / Species survival list.

Please direct your question to a more appropriate one ;)

Thank you.

As an instigator, I offer apology.

Still, with the sarcasm a thought or two on the subject at hand would
have
been ok.

Bob, forgive my ignorance, but isn't 210' for what a cutter used to
signify
on the large size?

Would the one inch even come close to a class 1 beam?

Also, trying to model the helo-in-space just doesn't track. A single
fighter doesn't seem appropriate.

1 RHI w 5 crew and GPMG

I'm assuming crew of 5 and general purpose machine gun, but can you
identify what an RHI is, and, of course, point out if I made a misstep
on
the first part.

If it's a real boat, then two 'boats' with the differences of a boat and
a
helo beggers my imagination.

I'm thinking this would have to take a Full Thrust variant to do
justice,
though one I certainly wouldn't mind playing in.
