Re: Our Ship - Beam Configuration
Great, that puts us at a par with those going for "balanced". Now if one of them jumps to our camp, we can win.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Configuration
Sorry but the whole "Balanced" thing just doesn't' work for a battleship. If you want a balance ship the buy a Sov.

Seriously, I'm thinking that the All-Rounder is cool, as long as it leaves room for torpedoes. Lots of torpedoes.
How much space would four rapid-fire QT launchers take, I wonder?

Re: Our Ship - Beam Configuration
I would say maybe 4%, just over half of the lance, plus maybe 1% for every 200 warheads.
Just a guess.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Configuration
That sounds reasonable.
When Teaos puts up stats on the torpedoes, I may change my vote to the all-rounder as long as we still have room for a heavy torpedo armament, and other essentials.

Re: Our Ship - Beam Configuration
I'd say 3 rapid fire QTLs. Two on the bow, one on the stern. 12% volume take up.
1800 QTLs for our payload. 600 aft, 1200 for, that's another 9% volume take up.
Total being 21% volume take up.
If you want to save some space then
I'd say 2 rapid fire QTLs. One forward, one aft. 8% volume.
Then take 1200 QTs. 600 for each QTL adding 6% volume.
Total being 14% volume take up.
I like the first option better as they would work well with the Lance, very well.
Anything big the lance takes out and anything to small for the lance the QTs take out.
It's a match made in heaven. It also makes the balanced and slash builds look like miranda.

Of course he won't listen to you - the forum hasn't got a speaker function.
