I have four ships capable of any sort of firepower. The RC-I, which has... Like two terrible ARAY weapons, which half the time fired by themselves. The RC-II, which had 3 or 4 guns, same style. Bulky and useless. The engines on both would get you nowhere. The RC-III had... Whatever amount, but never was completed, and even if she was, she would be unmanuverable. My latest, the RC-XI NG (I think? Maybe?) Battleship has 8 compact ARAY guns, all set to 9k degrees. Rather slow due to armor...
Nippy L.T.D's design philosophy is focused around hit and run tactics. The ships are designed to be able to expend large amounts of firepower quickly. That is by LRNC bombardment, carrier capable destroyers, cruisers and capital ship for fighters. All the ships require little maintainance and supplies for repairs so fleets can be large. Furthermore, they are all capable of planet side warefare to increase their overall effectiveness.
ive got an idea! since everyone is doing bugger all lately i think it is time for some lore about our factions and their design philosophy
took some time experimenting with different designs. finally found one!
The RC-X NG isn't too bad. ID:1566613
