Re: Outrim Coalition

I've just had a go at a straight translation of some of the FT2 designs
into
their FB1 equivalents, for the ORC. They end up being rather
weak-hulled,
with little in the way of class-1 batteries, but with really good firing
arcs. The masses are all rather small - for cruisers, extremely small -
for
their notional class and model size.
This, and the fact that the ORC models and the FT2 SSDs are rather Old,
leads to a neat solution: these are all old, obsolete designs bought
"second
hand", or manufactured at low-technology shipyards out of
locally-produced
low-tech materials. Their actual mass is somewhat larger than the given
figures(from 5 to 100% larger), but the cost in MUCr is in line with
their
capabilities and market price.

Anyway, here they are:
