Re: [GZG] FT Single arc plasma bolts?

[John Tailby <john_tailby@xxxxxxxxxx>]

probably about 3 mass for a class 1 plasma bolt.

I'm not sure that the Plasma bolt is the right weapon though.

The PBL has an enourmous blast radius that isn't evidenced in the Blakes 7 show. I would have thought that the plasma torpedo is the better weapon.

Then the liberator is about a mass 100 battle cruiser and the federation pursuit ships are mass 30 -40 super destroyers.

While the liberator isn't organic it acts more like the Savasku than any orther FT technology. Liberator regularly put on blinding turns of speed at the expense of not doing anything else or moved slowly about and fired at targets. It rarely did both at the same time.

Single arc missile launchers for Salvo Missiles don't sound like they would be worth it. All it would do is reduce the mass of the launcher by about 1 mass. The mass of the missiles in the magazine would not be affected so you won't save much mass.
