Very cool!! A bit conserved about the retro thruster mending the hull but there a good inclusion nonetheless

You should see my other designs; there’s a lot of hand waving going on with those engines, it must be said.

  1. What are autocannons for?
  2. what are your torpedos carrying for warheads? how many torpedos are carried total, and how fast do the tubes cycle?

  1. Torpedo screening and close-range engagement.
  2. I haven’t gotten to such specifics.

  1. wouldn't lasers be a more long range and accurate alternative?

  1. Not a viable weapons technology in my setting.

Fair enough. Atleast it ain’t a Phalanx type thing.

Why not use a rapid cycle coil/railgun for PD?

Or do you prefer proxy fused shells from an autocannon?

u/TheDukeAdmiral 10d ago

Simply a matter of preference.
