RE: [GZG]FirstlookatnewNSLships!:-) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Big mean and nasty.  From a background perspective, what is the
reasoning for the 5-arc Beam-3s and Beam-4s?
Smaller arcs (max 3-arc) and more weapon mounts give greater "bang" for
the same mass.	Personally it isn't dangerous enough in close to
discourage swarm ships or close maneouvring to get in its blind spot.

Also, I think the 3-row hull is overkill on a ship this large (although
does fit the fluff you wrote) and the cost increase is quite significant
for an NSL ship.
