And here is a quick, run away design. Obviously, this ship doesn't want to fight, let alone take any damage.

I just wanted a look at the biggest ship that I could design. conventionaly armed, no fighters. The RNG 33 spinal mount is cool.

Here you go. This vessel is designed to keep the enemy at bay with its stealth generators and the long-range weaponry. Its spinal mount gives it the opportunity to trade blows with enemy vessels who also try the stealth generator as a way to avoid the ion and rail lances.

I might just test a battle between the Imperial and the Juggernaught. Might be interesting to see...:)

Heres the variant of the Imperial Cruiser. Its designed to combat smaller craft more easily, so it swaps its lances for normal cannons and a much better Reality Warp Generator. However, Commonwealth captains much prefer the firepower aspect, so these vessels are uncommon, one maybe appearing for every two Imperials.

Starmada Imperial Stars Edition v1.7

Designed to serve as an escort for the larger ships in the SSS, this class provides direct fire support to supplement the stand off weapons of the larger classes. Lacking the usual complement of battlesats, this class has decent ship mounted particle weaponry to fend off enemy fighters, drones, marines and battlesats. An unusually high number of sunbursts also serve this class well in its defensive role. Due to its need for extra maneuverability, this class is equipped with not only a higher speed than the bulk of the SSS but overthrusters as well.

Starmada Imperial Stars Edition v1.72

Santa's newest sled, designed in 1990, is manned (elved?) by a crew of almost 500 veteran elves. Capable of covert toy insertion missions in any part of the globe, due to its advanced cloaking technology, the Red Sled has an impressive speed for its size. Its only armament is the single 360 degree Anti-Grinch Ray Gun which also works quite well on Scrooges, Bah-Humbuggers, and other anti-holiday types (such as the IRS). One interesting side note is that all of the reindeer were put out to stud, drastically increasing the size of the Finnish reindeer herds.

And heres the lightest combat unit of the LN, the TaLerDor. Its designed for just one purpose--to slam into the flanks of an enemy. Its fast and its deadly. I had to rip the hyperdrive out of the ship in order to give adequate weaponry, but seeing as the TaLerDor would either be alongside a TaLerKor or be with a scout cruiser, both with hyperdrives, it wouldn't matter.

A good 'pick-up and play' fleet might be one TaLerKor and two TaLerDors (2019 CR), which would give you a great force.

With four Sniper-class vessels, the main battle is going to be drones and battlesats vs ships. So I'd guess the main approach would be to try and ride out the attack (maybe try and get hits on the approaching drone swarm), and go after the battlesats. The Snipers themselves are a lost cause--all they have to do is just launch and get the hell out, so the main weaponry of the Loramian vessels--the rail cannons--are going to be lost.

Maybe force the Snipers to start within range?
