Nice page, I do have one comment about something I doubt would
make it by the Admirals.
Some of these ships have far too much SM capacity for the number
of launchers. 12 spaces of SM's with 1 luancher in the Garibaldi
is rather extreme. Combats rarely last long enough to get all
6 launched. It would be a far better design if you dropped 4 mass of
storage and installed other weapons or added a second launcher.
The Colbert suffers from the same problem. You can't really expect
a CE to survive long enough to launch 3 SM's, although I guess you
could have a standard loadout of 2 ERSM's.
My rule of thumb is Destroyers and smaller have SMR's.
Escort Cruisers and smaller get 2 turns of SM's.
BDN's and smaller may have up to 3 turns.
SDN's may have up to 4 turns.
Comments from the other FSE player(s)?
