I had forgotten to mention a race who are client of the Drakes... the Moldovians....who have been bootstrapped to HT2...and have the following designs...
SAFE HOUSE class SS 50 Hull TL 0
[1] Ax12HBx5Lx3QBx3Rx3Bx4QLhMg
50 RCP 50 MCP Trg:1 Cost = 334/ 6.7
HTK 35 Ax12 Lx3 Rx3 Mgx1
200x BM
They have 2 of these SS orbiting their planet. The B's are there so I can install systems later.
CHOP SHOP (INTERM 4) class SS 530 Hull TL 1
[1] Ax12HBx5Lx3QBx3Rx3Bx4QLhMg(SY)x6
530 RCP 50 MCP Trg:1 Cost = 3934/ 30.7
HTK 95 Ax12 Lx3 Rx3 Mgx1
150x BM
One Safehouse was modified to be their orbital yard.
ENFORCER class PDC 154 Hull TL 0
[1] (SP)Apx60HQBHQBHQBHQBGbx3Bx3QGbx3Bx3Gbx3Bx3MgBx3MgBMgBQBBGbMg
154 RCP 300 MCP Trg:1 Cost = 477/ 47.7
HTK 105 Apx60 Gbx10 Mgx4
400x GMb
6 of these protect their homeworld from unwanted visitors. They use the Gb as the idea was to be able to defend against fighters and other small craft.
PROTOTYPE: CA class CA 60 Hull TL 1
[3] (IcIc)H(IcIc)Q(IcIc)Lx10LhQ(IcIc) [4]
60 RCP 40 MCP Trg:1 Cost = 693/ 104
HTK 22 Lx10
their first CA...and they have a second under construction and as per their patrons will deploy them in CA + 2 DD groups.
PROTOTYPE: DD class DD 30 Hull TL 1
[3] (Ic)H(Ic)(Ic)Rx4GbGbMgLhQ(Ic) [4]
30 RCP 20 MCP Trg:1 Cost = 222/ 33.3
HTK 14 Rx4 Gbx2 Mgx1
40x GMb, 80x BM
Their first DD intended to escort their CAs, they have 3 of them with a fourth under construction.
They are HT2 and working on the techs they need before they can start HT3...so far no technology has been developed but they are close. Income: 1710 MCr Trade: 171 MCr Tech Assistance: 500 MCr. The Drakes have an outpost on their homeworld that is helping them develop technology. Also they are a ST race with a poor homeworld.
Yes...no armour or shields and commercial engines...well...maybe not the best combo!
