Re:OU Frigate Design

I've just acquired a few of the new GZG OU Frigates. They model is
basically
the front half of an OU destroyer with a newly manufactured stern. So
here's
a proposed design for them.

The Phar Lap class Frigates were designed in response to a request for
tender
by the OUDF for an ultra-fast small ship capable of chasing down small,
fast
commerce raiders. Apart from a very few designs such as the OU's "Red
Rockets",
a Phar Lap can outrun anything it can't outfight, and handily outfight
anything
it can't outrun.
The Phar Lap is basically a "stripped-down racing version" of standard
Fremantle/River
class Destroyer, and shares the same power plant and manoeuvre drive,
but on
a hull less than 2/3 the size. Although rather cramped and short-ranged
for
an OU ship, it has become quite popular due to its toughness relative to
competing
non-OU designs.

Mass 24
Cost 89
Thrust 7
FTL
Armour 1
Hull Average (7)
FC 1
PDS 1
B-1 2
B-2(FA) 1

Sister ships: Phar Lap, Gunsynd, Black and Gold, Beedlebaum etc

Block 2 Ships , the Torpedo Boats, replace the Beams with a single
forward-arc
Pulse Torpedo

Sister Ships: Funnelweb, Redback, Huntsman, Krait, Death Adder etc
