I've got two drafts now, each with 18 tons of ordnance and a gun around
2.5 tons. I have no missile designs yet, but I'm thinking of 4-ton
shipkillers and lighter 0.5-ton countermissiles.
One is a two-seat starfighter with a 40mm gatling gravgun, four 4-ton
hardpoints and four 0.5-ton hardpoints, 48 tons fully loaded. External
ordnance causes drag, but it can be fired more quickly than weapon bays
with their doors. Think of a hypersonic Warthog -- the gravgun can go
through several thousand points of armor.
The other is an eight-man missile boat, with a 43.2-MJ x-ray laser, two
weapon bays for 9 tons each, 100 tons fully loaded. The internal bay
means there is no speed penalty or stealth reduction. In space, the
xaser has more than 10,000 miles range. She also has better sensors and
the payload for week-long patrols.
Regards,
Onno
