The starting courses of each are 90 degrees in relation to each other.
Erik L:
Couple of points... PD class weapons are limited to a range of 8 (pg 12). You didn't say how the main weapons were mounted, so I'd assume half in each broadside. Refer to page 11.
My estimate of the outcome... It will come down to initiative. If the TCN cruiser can bring one of the OB ships in range and figure an 80% hit, the OB ship will have at least 25 pts internal damage after one broadside. Scratch that. Much more. The TCN lasers fire 2x per turn, so that is 32 EM and 64 TH (80% hit), which will do about 9 pts of internal from the thermals. The capital lasers, figure 2 of the 3 in the broadside hit, will do around another 130 pts of internal damage. Which should gut the ship.
If the OB gets initiative, one broadside will inflict about 15 damage. If the second ship hits, most of it's damage will penetrate as well, for about another 80ish damage.
The OB will need to watch out if they attempt to bracket because then the TCN ship would be able to fire on both, potentially ending the fight with a broadside to each. Best bets would be to cross the T's and fire at the bow/stern.
But that's just my opinion. I'm interested in seeing how it plays out.
Sematary:
Thanks for pointing out about PD. I may be doing sensors wrong too, not sure. Writing it up right now. Crossing the T is what both sides are trying for. PD are turreted and the rest are broadsides.
Erik L:
Depending on range, most likely the ships all started within detection range of each other.
With the shields up, lock on will be automatic for both sides. Their signatures are well over 100. For the case of the OB locking on to the TCN ship the formula is 369 (signature) - 40 (resolution) + 40 (acquisition) for a final chance of 369% :)
Sematary:
PD can be used offensively right? As in instead of using them to intercept missiles they can be used as normal guns within range 8.
