RE: KV Railguns vs armour pt 2/2 (full ship conversion to FTFB)

OK,  using masses of 1/2/4/8 or 2/3/6/10, you try & fit the MT weapons
loadout into these masses.
The ships I did are still within FTFB parameters for each of these
classes & will still wipe out any human vessel with 6" in front of it.
The "old" weapons simply cannot fit into at FTFB hull using FTFB mass
progressions.

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.
