[FT/FB] NCS enters the ship sales market

Hi ya'll. I'm proud to announce the entry of the NCS into the ship sales
market. Here are three new products available to those small colonies out
there, who find themselves in need of space combat capability.

Comments welcome.

Model A class DL

Mass 22 fragile hull thrust 8 4 x class 1 beam 2 x PDS 1 x ADFC 1 x Firecon
FTL cost 78

The Model A Light Destroyers are intended for patrol duties, and includes some
point defense and area defence capability, so they can act

as ad-hoc escorts in a pinch.  No ordnance requiring weapons are
included to reduce supply requirements.

Model A class DG

Mass 30 fragile hull thrust 6 2 x class 1 beam
2 x SML w/ 3 x salvoes
1 x Firecon FTL cost 106

The Model A Missile Destroyers are intended to act in support of heavier

combat units, as well as system defense.

Model A class FS

Mass 8 fragile hull thrust 10 1 x class 1 beam 1 x Firecon FTL cost 26

The Model A Scout Frigate is used for light recce roles.

Fragile hulls? Oh look, a solar flare. Ooops, sorry sir, just lost our entire
destroyer fleet.

On a more constructive note...
'A' class DL - would be more attractive with either MD 8, or drop the
class-1s for a class-2 & 2 more PDS.
'A' class DG - this would be lucky to launch 1 SML before destruction.
SMRs are a better option for a ship this size due to a life expectancy
of <5 minutes after engagement (1 turn at class-3 range)
'A' class FS - good design for the size..
