Does anyone have any thoughts on this design?
It worked well in a game we played today.
(We play here in Jacksonville on Weds. & Sundays.)

Re: Naval-type Starships designed by BeowulfJB

After playing many games, I realized that my ships needed more protection.  By Deleating the Fire Control & marines I was able to increase the Armor and upgrade the AA weapong.  This is the result:

SNS ARIZONA (610)
-Tech: Engines +2; Shields +2; Weapons +2

Re: Naval-type Starships designed by BeowulfJB

We have limited the damage and impact done by any weapon to one.  Traits can be added to make them more powerful.
Here is my four-turret BB using this format:
