RE: [FT] IF Ship Design

Following your design philosophy, I think the following would fit:

IF Tulwar class Heavy Destroyer (DDH)
Displacement: 5000 tonnes
Cost: 176 MUcr
Hull Type: Weak (Integrity 10)
Crew:  13 officer, 37 ratings (Crew Factor 3)
Drive systems: Main Drive rating 6
Sensors suite: Standard sensors; 1 fire control system
Armament: 
2 SMR(er) (FP/F/FS)
2 SMR(std) (FP/F/FS)
2 Submunition Packs (F) or 2 Class-1 batteries
1 Class-2 battery (FP/F/FS)
Defenses: 2 Point Defense Systems
Comments: A fast strike destroyer, it is capable of unloading it's
entire salvo of missiles in one pass, reducing loiter time in the face
of heavy opposition.   It's most common use is as either a picket ship
or a screen to protect heavier assets or the tender.

IF Arabian class Battledreadnought Tender (BDN-T ?)
Displacement: 15,000 tonnes
Cost:  MUcr
Hull Type: Average (Integrity 45)
Crew:  28 officers, 122 ratings (Crew Factor 8)
Drive systems: 
Tender FTL Drive (20,000 ton rating (Mass 200))
Main Drive rating: 4
Sensors suite: 
Standard sensors; 2 fire control systems
Armament:
SMR (std) (FP/F/FS) 
Class-2 battery (FP/F/FS)
Class-2 battery (AP/FP/F)
Class-2 battery (F/FS/AS)
Defences: 
Area Defence Firecontrol
6 Point Defence Systems
Comments: Capable of carrying 5 Turcoman CL or 4 Tulwar DDH, the Arabian
is the last word in heavy attack vessels, capable of spawning 102
missiles in it's first salvo, with the redundancy of multiple vessels to
overwhelm any remaining defences in close.
Variations: The SMR, ADFC & 3 PDS can be replaced with 1 SML with a 6
mass magazine.

My concept is that the IF uses fast, small ships, no FTL, with salvo
missiles (FSE influence); small-to-medium carriers carrying Fast
Fighters;
and FTL tugs.  The idea is to have a swarm of skirmishers which can't
stand
up to close range slugging, but can harass you to death if you're not
careful.  Seems to suit the Arabic/Turkish style.
