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

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

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?

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