For various reasons I got out my set of Pictures of early EDF units and so the
stats sort of followed.

Type X1
Thrust 4, FTL, Partial Streamlining, 96 Hull, 16 Damage Control
Parties, 4 Firecontrols, 1 Shield, 1060 pts+ Fighters
Weapons 1x Wave Gun F 2x 5 Arc 3 Battery F,FP,FS,AP,AS 1x 1 Arc SMR F 1x 3 Arc
2 Battery F,FP,FS. 6x 6 Arc 1 Battery ALL
6x PDS ALL
1x 3 Arc 2 Battery A,AP,AS. 1x 5 Arc 3 Battery FP,FS,AP,AS,A 2x Fighter
Squadrons
Notes Usual fighter load out 1 Squadron Interceptors and 1 Squadron Ace
Normal.
Possibly should have more PDS/1 batteries to match the original
archetype, but the number of such changes from shot to shot. Note the change
in turret layout from the surface deployment loosing the two waist secondary
batteries. the second ship of the class replaced the rear facing 3 Battery
with a turreted Wave Gun, How much space that takes I wouldn't like to
calculate.

Type M21741 [Mogami] Thrust 4, FTL, 30 Hull, 5 Damage Control Parties, 2
Firecontrols, 3 Armour, 342 pts
Weapons 1x Pulse Torpedo F 1x 5 Arc 3 Battery F,FP,FS,AP,AS 1x 3 Arc 3 Battery
F,FP,FS 1x 6 Arc 3 Battery All 1x 3 Arc 3 Battery F,FP,FS.
2x PDS ALL
Notes Visual evidence shows no sign of PD or light weapons at all, however the
existence of the Paladin and certain documentary evidence implies some PD
capability, particularly the lack of involvement of Fighters in the battle of
Pluto, when we know there was a single hostile light carrier in the vicinity.
Type number is awfully high for a linear
count but may be a 4 digit year followed by model designed/first laid
down that year.

Parties, 2 Firecontrols, 240 pts
Weapons 1x 3 Arc SML with 3 round magazine. 1x 4 Arc 3 Battery FP,FS,AP,AS 1x
5 Arc 3 Battery F,FP,FS,AP,AS
2x PDS ALL
Notes Visual evidence shows no sign of PD or light weapons at all, however the
existence of this ship and certain documentary evidence implies some PD
capability.
At some point I'll get on to the later designs. Though mounting wave guns on
escorts seems a bit extreme.

Agreed <g> TMF 70.

Disconnected arcs aren't allowed under the current official design rules, but
this restriction will probably be removed.

Help! I can't find that one at all! Is it just from FB1 pg 7?
> but this restriction will probably be removed.
I hope so. I've got some NSL designs that fire using the same arcs. We love
Brandenburgs! (And I don't mean the FFs.)

Somehow it lost a large amount of waist line in the process, possibly welding
the two halves back together had this effect.
It does get used as a submarine once or twice [Pluto and Gamelion IIRC] and
they do park it in the sea most times they land it. That doesn't quite explain
the later EDF Capital ships [Perhaps its tradition] or the Gamelion Battle
Carrier

The Yamato's offical replacement
http://www.shipschematics.net/yamato/images/edf/battleship_andromeda.j
pg Note it is seen firing both WMG's simultaneously. Charles has some rules
for that and turreted versions we might persuade him to put up here.
Its supposedly noticeable in the original but not the American version that
they show the sinking of the Yamato [complete with dramatic music] and later
in the series the Gamelions attempt to destroy her new incarnation using the
same attack formations for their fighter spacecraft [Accompanied by the same
dramatic music. But fail due among other things to the Wave Motion Gun in its
original TV appearance.]. Among the series conventions is that fighter space
craft only attack from above the waterline and subspace submarines from below.
The Heroes never notice this.
Winning the Gamelion attempt to re-enact Midway is more noticeable.
But then is wining against an opposing force who erase their pilots memories
before launch really that difficult?

Very nice looking hsips. Anyone know if starblazers minis are still in
production?

No, it's from FT2 page 9. FB1 pg.7 only says that there are now 6 arcs instead
of the previous 4; it doesn't revoke the ban against disconnected arcs.
