Newly generated ships

Now tell me this is not so very wrong for a starting race.

Fuel Capacity 200,000 Litres    Range 77.9 billion km   (148 days at full power)

Size 1 Missile Launcher (10)    Missile Size 1    Rate of Fire 10
Missile Fire Control FC56-R1 (1)     Range 1.7m km    Resolution 1
Demolisher Anti-missile Missile (658)  Speed: 44,800 km/s   End: 9.6m    Range: 25.7m km   WH: 1    Size: 1    TH: 149 / 89 / 44

Active Search Sensor S168-R1 (1)     GPS 168     Range 1.7m km    Resolution 1
Thermal Sensor TH1-6 (1)     Sensitivity 6     Detect Sig Strength 1000:  6m km
EM Detection Sensor EM1-6 (1)     Sensitivity 6     Detect Sig Strength 1000:  6m km

Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/s

Those Anti-missiles are just very wrong.

Oh I don't know.  Looks like you spent starting research a generation further than I did for engine tech than I did.  Active sensor suite is a little myopic compared to the powered envelope for the missiles for my taste.  Good magazine capacity.  Useful speed.  Overall looks to be a sound ship.

I'm working up a new campaign as well and this is my starting DE

You're right about the sensors. That is like point-blank range for missiles. The tech (and ship) were both generated randomly by Aurora. I don't think I've ever had a starting race pull up engines better than Ion before though.

[Charlie Beeler]

Ah!  I should have realized that the tech base was randomly generated.
