hI ALL,
I have recently started to work up stats for my
custom ship designs and I approached the designs
from the angle of equipping the design,then finalizing
it. Problem is, I come up with a dreadnaught of 375
mass and points of 1399. Is this way too much for
standard play ? I am using the FT Fleet book ship
designer and Fleet Mgr.
The stats I punched in are as follows:
Mass Pts
Hull Int .25 94 188
FTL 38 76
Thrust 4 75 150
Shields 2 38 114
Cl.2 Beams 8 16 48
Cl.3 Beams 6 3 42 126
Pls Torp 2 8 24
SML 3 9 27
SML Mag 6 2 14 42
PDS 6 6 18
FC 3 3 12
Hanger Bays 3 27 81
Armor 5 5 10
Fighters
Intercept 2 36
Torpedo 2 72
Total Mass 375
Total Points 1399
Advice ?
My original plans for this design was to have a
ship of dreadnought class with the capability
to support groundforce operations(the reason for
the hanger bays). Granted this is for a custom
non-FT universe but this is my first time at
designing ships using the FT construction rules.
Thanx,
