One Ship Military?

[Brian Neumann]

There is a maximum tonnage that a ship can have and still use a jump drive.  For military ships it is 25000 hull spaces, or 1.25 million tons.  For commercial jump drives I believe it is 12.5 million tons.  You can use a civilian jump drive on a military ship, the problem with that is you will be sensor blind for several minutes instead of 30 seconds or less.  No sensors means no active defenses or weapons available to fire, and no idea where the attackers are so you just guess randomly and try to move away from them.

Canonically, the medium cruiser parasites are 80,000 tons each.

At that point, tech level doesnt mean a whole lot, because that is a LOT of missile tubes firing any size missile you could ever want.

Are jump drives still broken? In 6.30 a 50 ton jump engine would be enough for Dahak.

LOL - How did I know that someone would take up the challenge?
