Completed techs: Shipyard Operations: Time/Cost Saving 20%, Shield Regen 2, 20cm Railgun, Beam Fire Control 40kkm, new beam fire controls, ECCM-3, Advanced Spinal Mount, Missile Launcher Reload Rate 4, Near Ultraviolet Laser, Fuel Production 80k liters, Beta Shields, 15cm Laser Focal Size
New techs being researched: Shipbuilding Rate 1000, Shield Regen 2.5, 20cm Railgun Design, Corvette & Cruiser Beam Fire Controls, Near Ultraviolet Laser, Turret Tracking Speed 3kkm/s, Missile Launcher Reload Rate 5, 15cm Laser Focal Size, Shipyard Operations 30%, Magazine Feed 90%, Gamma Shields, Ultraviolet Laser
The Sperber-class Escort Destroyer is designed, its main purpose it missile defense for the fleet and help planetary PDC with missile defense if needed. In addition it is able to raid enemy civilian shipping and hunt down missile ships who have spend their missiles. This is Humanities first use of laser weapons, in this case in combination with a very large single bore laser alongside the main axis of the ship – Advanced Spinal Mount. With better lasers large version of this weapon are planned.
In July expansion of the New Berlin naval yards has reached 2 slips with 2kt each. The newly designed Habicht-class Corvette will be build there. Its main purpose is jump point defense/ambush, running down missile ships who have expended their missiles and raiding enemy civilian shipping.
By mid-July the survey program is restarted after most vessels have completed their refits and overhauls. GravSurvey of Bonn is started and the GeoSurvey of Kiel will be continued. A little bit later news reaches Earth that the espionage team on the Iroquois homeworld has been killed in action. Other methods to learn about those aliens are currently being worked on…
BTW, I can not remember, does cargo handling help with drop pods as well, or just normal troop transports?
After trying to establish a Kepler jump scout as a gateway into Osnabrück and a refueling point for survey ships a ship is detected which is identified as a Robot ship. The Kepler jumps right out of Osnabrück again. The ship is labeled as a Agincourt-class, it has never been seen before and has a thermal signature of more than 1.2k.
In August a ungated jump point is found in Bonn, leading to Schweinfurt, which has a gate back to Bonn. Schweinfurt is a binary, has a couple of planets, moons and asteroids. There is 1 terrestrial planets in orbit around Schweinfurt-A inside the habitable zone. A second jump point leads to Bamberg, which is gated on the Bamberg side. Bamberg has a single sun with several planets and moons. There is a terrestrial planet inside the habitable zone as well.
At the end of October a ungated jump point is found in Bamberg. This jump point leads to the München system, which is already known, but has not been surveyed yet. The recovery of alien ruins on Düsseldorf A-III has been completed. Besides lots of infrastructure and some minerals 3 tracking stations, 40 maintenance facilities, 3 construction factories, 6 mines, 8 automines, 1 mass driver, 2 terraforming installations, 1 research lab, 1 gene center, 1 ground force training facility, 1 ordnance, 1 fighter and 1 fuel factories have been recovered. With just 0.3m workers there is currently a shortage of close to 4m workers.
With the refitting of the Kondor-class carriers completed a large fleet exercise is started, involving 2 Kondor carriers, 4 Graf Zeppelin carriers, 20 Falke missile boats, 2 R100 Radar FACs, 4 R1 Radar recon fighters, 20 Fokker R2 fighters.
In November research into shields has been completed and the new Scharnhorst-class cruiser is designed. Cruisers are supposed to be able to operate independent of other ships, but can be used to support carrier task forces as well. Retooling is started on Earth.
Well, I managed to get in 9 large caliber guns and 6 smaller ones, but that’s where the RL similarities end, but later Scharnhorsts will get closer to the original I hope and be re-classed as (small) battleships.
