Brendan,

Way too heavy, and not enought fire-power.. We should not have the
lightest ship mounting class3 Railguns a BattleCruiser.. That should be
a
light Cruiser, which should mount 2 of them, with a Battlecruiser
mounting
4 class3.. looking at MT, the target mass for FTFB should be as follows:

Scout - 8 mass
Corvette - 16 mass
Frigate - 24 mass
Destroyer - 32 mass
Lt Cruiser - 48 mass
Patrol Cruiser - 56 mass
Hvy Cruiser - 72 mass
battleCruiser - 88 mass
Battleship - 112 mass
BattleDreadnought - 128 mass
SuperDreadnought - 184 mass
Strike Carrier - 192 mass

Points must be at least 1.5 times the FTFB standard for the same class.
