 December 9, 2011 - 6:19am | The seek doesn't make sense anymore, it was included in the game probably for fun in that a smart captian could fly his ship past an enemy and get the seeker to target him. But no navy, with hi tech weaponry is going to use a deadly weapon that could accidently attack his own ships. Found the following in the old list serve archive: The Guided Missile Frigate I really like this concept, and it fits in very well with a picture of a huge dreadnaught-type ship that is in the KH Campaign book. It shows a missile-tube type of launcher, but no real connection to anything from pre-SWII. I always figured it was created during the war (it might not have seen any action), and that the single-tube launchers on it could very well be an earlier version of your dual launchers. Here are the stats as one would find them in KH: Frigate, Guided Missile: HP 40 ADF 4 MR 3 DCR 70 Weapons: LC GMLx4 LB Tx2 Defenses: RH MSx2 ICMx4 The only problem I have with this is that the GML takes up much more space than the RB that it replaces. Plus, they are much more powerfull. This is how I would make the stats (still more than powerful enough, given the fact they can reload with multiple types of missiles): Frigate, Guided Missile: HP 40 ADF 3 MR 3 DCR 70 Weapons: LC GMLx4 LB Defenses: RH ICMx8

I went with a concept ofthe seeker frigate or lt cruiser the class was called the lone wolf ship because when they come into the space where they are about to attack, the UPF would hold the rest of the fleet out of the area. I have developed more tacktics t han this but this is just an introduction. The lone wolf seeker is the same as the regular seeker except it is launched like a missle from the ship. We have even play tested in in both small and large scale battles. |
