Ships of the Imperium Romanum - Starfire Designs
« on: September 23, 2007, 08:47:08 AM »
I found my ship designs from the campaign I had run. Fortunately I had made a txt file of them and made a back up. First up are the initial designs.

The philosophy behind these designs were that they were hastily cobbled together, meaning not the most efficient of designs, since the Romans were in a great hurry to explore their surroundings due to the nasty surprise they had found on the darkside of their version of Luna they called Pugio Caelum, or Sky Dagger.

Next up are the escort ships mentioned in the Siliconate War.

I have been talking to Jeff, the gent who ran the Rockheads, and we both agreed that originally we wildcarded the Romans Command Datalink and Command Datatlink Point Defense. We did that to give the Romans a fighting chance against the Siliconate tech level 12 missile boats. Without it, even though the Rocks only had one third the number of systems, The Romans were pretty much toast without those systems.

In the agreement we decided to only allow those systems on the Escort Ships, to reflect that it was new tech and most commanders did not trust it. Thats why I came up with the Testudo fleet formation in the story. These points are reflected in the Siliconate War rather well I think.  :D

Theres a couple of minor errors here  which propogate into the refits - primarily to do with the engine rooms - you can only have a maximim of 1 half size engine in a ship line - so the CT design line should be something like

AX(BbS)(I)R(I)RH(I)MgQs(I)
HTK 12 cost 192/28.8

This also make it cheaper than its sqdn leader.

One or two of the bigger ships should have the engine rooms in groups and the COLLIER is missing  HQs (it is in the price tho!)

The bit that confused me was the Assembly ship with the 4 CHS modules & The SS with 20 - is this a house rule of your own?

ZimRathbone, Thanks very much for pointing them out. I will change them ASAP!  :D  I know it is not efficient, but to me it helps with a bit of the unreal smallness in the shipyards in SF.  :D
