CODA Achilles Class Warship
[FONT=arial][COLOR=blue]
Hi Peeps,
I'm trying to create a profile for the Achilles Class starship from Dominion Wars.
The new Starships book has made it a breeze but I've stumbled at two places and I'm putting out a plea to anyone who has designed this class for CODA already.
I've given it bio-neural circuitry, regenerative shielding, ablative armour, four type XII pulse phasers (i'm trying to make it a space version of a naval Battleship with a limited class of six ships that will be mothballed for the future after the war).
But i'm lost on the the Microtorpedo Launchers and the Ramming Deflector.
The Achiles has the launchers arranged as a Phalanx style launch system (which would look so cool when firing, but I digress). I've given the ship four of these on the Dorsal Section but I'm pondering what cost these should be. I'm thinking of using the listed cost of 1 per launcher unit +1 - for example each of my four launcher units is capable of firing four microtorpedos simultaneously. So each launcher costs 5 space points.
Once i'm happy with this part of the design i'll move onto the Ramming Deflector (another well cool idea), the rules for it and space cost. So far i'm thinking the cost would equal to size rating. As for the rules I have no idea - yet!!
I'm curious what other people (if any) have come up with for this class.
Cheers for any help and once I have the design worked out to my rather perfectionist standards i'll post it if anyone's interested.
