United Nations Enclave - Design challange RESOLVED
Kiero:
PC-6 v1 "XXX"
For those who would like to challenge themselves in design. Here is one for them.
Design a short-range beam patrol corvette for the United Nations Enclave. This ship was part of an expeditionary force to the Procul Astrum system.
Its main task was to patrol and guard the inner locations of the system and provide protection for local civilian traffic.
Rules:
For all mentioned design category, your ship can get design points (DP). Design with most points will be used in United Nations Enclave - Scenario and you can name this ship class "XXX".
Design categories:
* Size: no more than 6000t (0 DP)
* Speed: Minimum 4000 km/s; for every 200 km/s (+1 DP) [exp. speed=4400 km/s +2 DP; speed=4599 km/s also +2 DP]
* Armor: every layer above 1 (+2 DP) Maximum=3
* Deployment Time: from 6 to 9 months, for each month below 9 (- 1DP)
* MSP amount: Minimum = Max Repair x2, for each additional Max Repair (+1 DP) [exp. Max Repair=254 MSP, MSP amount = 762 (+1 DP)]
Maximum = Max Repair x4, excess beyond this value will be ignored
* 1YR MSP usage: Desired200 MSP or less, for additional interval of 50 MPS above 200 (-1 DP) [exp. 1YR = 251 MSP, -2 DP]
for each full 25 MSP below 200 (+1 DP) [exp. 1YR = 175 MSP (+1 DP)]
* PPV: Minimum 4, for every additional 1 PPV, (+0,5 DP)
Beam Weapon: H&C LL-12 Laser Gun, Range: 80 000 km, PROVIDED by UNE
* Beam Fire control: Range, Minimum 96 000k (0 DP); 112 000 (+2 DP); 128 000 (+4 DP).
Tracking speed; Minimum = max speed of this ship design, for every interval of 200km/s less (-2 DP)
* Range: Minimum 9 billion km, every interval of 0,25 billion km less than 10 billion (-1 DP)
* Sensors: PROVIDED by UNE
* Active: Kongsberg Gruppen ASA. Sonar A-20 R120, PROVIDED by UNE
* Passive: Optotherm, Inc. TC-13.75/2.75, PROVIDED by UNE
Submissions: by PM me with design Text. The winner will be asked to provide DB with the design
Time: until 15 March 23:59 [Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) +1]
All Submissions will be shown at the end of the challenge, in the next post.
*Attached DB is needed to complete this challenge.
** REMEMBER to backup your current DB (version 2.5.1).
*** Components PROVIDED by UNE are available in the attached DB.
[EDIT] Use Tech levels from the attached DB file.
[EDIT] Reactor: The amount of energy generated must be sufficient to ensure the ROF of the mounted armament. The Contractor is required to provide its own design of the Reactor
[EDIT] Cost: Provide the overall Total BP for your design submissions (Not Wealth)

Warer:
Can we only mount 1 of the LL-12s or does it just mean that's the only weapon that particular weapon at all? Also is turreting it allowed?

You can propose your own armament, as long as it has a minimum range of 80,000 km, a ROF 10 seconds, and is a Beam Weapon.
The amount of installed armament will be taken into account in the evaluation of the project, in line with the UNE requirements stated in point 7.
There is not much space for design in this area. That is why "H&C LL-12 Laser Gun" was presented as preferred solution.
pedter:
Nowhere is there mention of... functional weapons. Does the beam weapon require a reactor or can we save space for the sake of being purely a PPV vessel?
Edit: Do we need enough fire controls for the beams as well, on the subject of PPV? If I were to fit a solo single-weapon beam fire control to save space but fit three lasers they would not be able to even alternate who gets the fire control each increment. Two lasers could, technically, at least alternate who gets the fire control each increment and "use" the same single-weapon fire control.
Edit 2: if a ship is designed for 4,050km/s because that happens to be how the engines delivered power but has a beam fire control that only delivers 4,000km/s, will we receive a penalty for tracking slower than the hull velocity despite not receiving any points for having the higher velocity in the first place? Or will that first partial step in tracking speed loss be ignored?
Edit 3: the existing reactor designed for 2 power is also the most modern design possible despite being marked obsolete. It claims to deliver 2.00 power and clears all power errors on a design with only one 2-recharge laser. However, it only delivers 1.99588 power when the calculation is done out. If, using that same reactor that appears to do the job, the laser fires every 15 seconds anyway, will there be a penalty?
