As some of you may be aware, I have been fighting a race that is vastly behind me in technology. Unfortunately, while they haven't produced much research, they have produced vast quantities of PDCs on their one and only world. These PDCs fire missiles in even larger quantities (a single salvo is perhaps 1000 missiles).
On the advice of another I have designed a FAC that is entirely a decoy for these missiles. It will be carried by a carrier to its destination, and then launched when near the planet. The goal is to have a ship that cannot be hit by their missiles. As such, I have designed this:
ADC Leucotis class Decoy 1,000 tons 4 Crew 192.8 BP TCS 20 TH 360 EM 0
18000 km/s Armour 1-8 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 0 PPV 0
Maint Life 1.37 Years MSP 12 AFR 80% IFR 1.1% 1YR 7 5YR 103 Max Repair 10 MSP
Intended Deployment Time: 0.1 months Spare Berths 6
20 EP Magneto-plasma Drive (18) Power 20 Fuel Use 69.18% Signature 20 Exp 12%
Fuel Capacity 5,000 Litres Range 1.3 billion km (20 hours at full power)
This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
It goes nearly as fast as some of my missiles. My ASMs run at 21,400 km/s, and they cannot be targeted by the aliens.
Will this be sufficient to avoid ALL missiles with a maximum speed of 2500 km/s? I mean 0% chance to hit.
If it is, I figure I'll just park it right near their homeworld. Not so close that they can shoot it with beams, but close enough to draw fire and whittle away at their missile stocks.
