Subject: KV in the New System
Has anyone tried using KV equipment (railguns, scatterguns) in the new
FTFB
design system? I was looking over the rules again last night, and they
would seem to be real shipkillers. I also figured that the mass for the
railfuns would go along the same lines as the beams (1/2/4/8...).
Railguns
would probably fire thru 1 arc only, with maybe the class-1s having a
120
or 180 arc - the sidemounts then continue to make sense in the new 6-arc
system. A couple of design flurries also seemed to show that KV ships
will
mount a nasty number of railguns, but it would be tempered by the
installation of lots of armor. I'll post some designs once i get them
cleaned up. They're frightening. BTW, I also assumed that KV get a
bonus
in manuver (full thrust rating available for rotations & maybe pushes),
and
that railguns do roll up on a 6 (yikes!).
