Topic: Small fry

Yep, I've designed large vessels for small powers, now heres a collection of small designs. But just because they're small, and the largest one costs the same as a Tycho-class light cruiser, doesn't mean they're not nasty.

===============================================

These designs were meant to be for the RNES, but I think that they could be sold to any power that stumped up the right amount of cash. Possibly private contractors can build them...

And heres a ~150 pt fleet made up almost entirely of these vessels:

1 Berserker
1 Tyr
(w/4 Meteors)
3 Fyrds
3 Huscarls
6 Apollos

154 pts

Im tempted on playing out a battle with this fleet against the Ersatz Monarch...:D

Re: Small fry

Heh.  Try the Apollo design with Thrust 8, Gyrostabilizers, and quad machineguns instead of lights.  I've been fielding those for ages and ages now...gyros mean you rarely if ever miss getting a keelgun shot.

Did I mention I'm fond of keel bombards?  smile

Next year come to Origins.  We got four guys (five now and then) who actively play IS here.  All of 45 minutes north of Columbus.
