This dastardly swift silence boat r most deadly around into space ever see.
12 Sidewinder with Warhead 8 are a huge power in a single shot.And when u launch 30 fighters are very hard to beat'em.

Keep in mind that Waresky's design is using very advanced tech.

This design is from the game I'm currently working up.

Most of the tech is 3rd level of research only.  

The design concept was to be able to launch missiles from the expected outer edge of missile intercept (3mkm).  Other requirements: speed of at least 10k/kps, basic load of maint supplies for pick duty, organic active sensors for independent sorties/pick duty, engage 5k ton or greater ships from 3mkm.

The small TCS means that most active sensors will not see then at thier intended engagement range and the reduced TM means that even large Thermal sensors will have a tuff time with detection.

By no means is this a perfect design.  A defense optimized to counter smallcraft swarms will eat these for lunch.  They are next to useless in nebula's, etc.

In an environment that leans towards cruiser v cruiser missile duals these can tip the balance.

Yeah,my Drive and sensors are most advance rather than others in my Research plan-field.

Just because r from many battle experience: speed-sensors are main weapon in Missiles tactic.
And sure are from 90 years in campaign.

The Shrike is "bomber", meant to perform in an anti-ship role.

Hello everyone!

I've been browsing forum for quite some time, found most answers I've been looking for, but just one thing bugs me: can you spy on precursors? So far my attemps with espionage teams on their listening posts have proven ineffective. Do espionage require population present on the colony?

Great game btw, thumbs up Steve

If a population is less than ten million, the number of espionage points is modified by the size of the population/10. For a zero population that means no espionage points, so you are correct that you can't spy on precursors.
