Here's what I came up with.
Gaia class SDN Mass: 209
Average Hull 16/16/16/15
FTL Thrust 2 Armour 10 Screen 2 4 x Fire Con 6 x PDF Superior Sensors Hanger
Bay (carry single fighter group or equivalent mass of support craft).
2 x Beam-4 F
2 x Beam-3 F,FP,AP and F,FS,AS
4 x Beam-2 360deg
2 x Beam-1
2 x Pulse Torp F,FP and F,FS
Sol class SDN-X
Mass: 260
Average Hull 20/20/19/19
FTL Thrust 3 Armour 10 Screen 2 4 x Fire Con 6 x PDF Superior Sensors Hanger
Bay (carry single fighter group or equivalent mass of support craft).
2 x Beam-4 F and F
2 x Beam-3 F,FP,AP and F,FS,AS
4 x Beam-2 360deg
2 x Beam-1
2 x Pulse Torp F,FP and F,FS
Cargo Hold 2/2/2/2
The Gaia was sized to fit in with the other SDNs and then I just added cargo
and thrust to create the Sol. The final mass of 260 seems fine by me. I think
we should wait and see what the UNSC Fleet
Carrier looks like before we go designing Mass 300+ monsters.
On a related note, has anyone developed stats for the NSL, Kaiser Friedrich
class light carrier?
> >On a related note, has anyone developed stats for the NSL, Kaiser
Yes there is. FT-514 £5.95. Released after the Fleetbook which is why
there aren't any stats for it.
It's the front and rear sections of a Szent Istvan with the central
section replaced by the aft section used in several freighters (FT-
311, 314, 318).

I've got one sitting, waiting to be painted and was just wondering if anyone
out there had given it any stats.
> On a related note, has anyone developed stats for the NSL, Kaiser
Is there a 'Kaiser Friedrich' class CVL for the NSL? I couldn't find
mention of one in any of the text write-ups in the fleetbook (granted
I just skimmed it quickly again and could have missed the entry). This
is the NSL CVL I was calling the HAMBURG-class:
Mass 150
Strong Hull (15/15/15/15)
Thrust-2
FTL 10 Armour 2xHangar Bay 4xPDS 3xFireCon
3xClass-1
2xClass-2 (AP/FP/F, AS/FS/F)
3xClass-3 (AP/FP/F, AS/FS/F, FP/F/FS)
CVL - While not many in number, the NSL do have a light carrier - the
HAMBURG class. Like most all NSL vessels, this ship was meant to go up against
its opposition directly, not hang back like NAC carriers do. Thus limited in
its
fighter-carrying capacity, it compensates for it with an offensive punch
that makes the enemy take notice. The only 'drawback' to this is that the ship
has
the same armor value as the MARIA VON BURGUND-class battleships,
although is has a Mass value of 30 greater than the same. Construction
continues, however, if only to make up for combat losses suffered during the
Third Solar War.
First entered service: 2170 Currently in NSL service: 12 Lost in action: 4
Decommissioned/scrapped: 1
Relegated to reserve fleet: Nil Sold to other forces: 1 Under construction: 4
Procurement cost: 4730 MUcr
Ships in class: HAMBURG, NIEDERSACHSEN, BREMEN, BRANDENBURG, HESSEN,
THURINGEN, ANHALT, SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, BAYERN, BADEN-WURTTEMBURG,
SACHSEN II, RHEINLAND-PFALZ

Ah!

Ahh. Haven't looked there in a while.

Wellllll....guess could just change the 'Hamburg'-class CVL to the
'Kaiser Friederich'-class CVL. Wouldn't be very different than what
I envisioned anyway. :-)

I like the Needle Beam idea. That is one "distinguishing feature" that hasn't
been used much elsewhere.
If you want a kill, needle beams suck wind. If you want a "Mission Kill" they
are wonderful.

I like 'em. That's the second workable design I've seen.
