Subject: my FT Trek designs and more

I don't even know if I have those particular designs any more. Change of
computers, deleting old designs for new ones, etc. I've lots of others,
though; most being larger than most people would design as our average ship
sizes run around the 160 mass mark. Most of my Trek
"cruisers" average about 124-144 mass.  It's about where I can fit all
the weapons that the ships seem to have (i.e., more than 1 torpedo
launcher, a few beams as phasers, a shield=screen-1, MD 4).  Frigates
tend to run at 64 mass (a favorite is the "Klingon F5": 1 pulse torp 3
arcs forward, 3 class-2 beams all arcs, 1 screen-1, 2 FC, 1 PD, MD 4,
5 armor, average hull.. they take a beating and deliver one as well).

What I've done a lot of are Kra'vak-style ships.  Love the weapons,
except for the arcs and opponents using advanced drives on every ship.

I've got a few B5 ships, Shadows, Whitestars, 1 Narn, 1 Vorlon, in various
configurations.

And then there is the cheese. Someone dared us to make a 1000 mass ship, cost
doesn't matter, and see which is the best. Savasku, of course, 500 power, with
a top MD of 25, and I think firing out to at least 12 FEET. Two other designs:
77 fighter squadrons or the MD 8
with 12 beam-5s firing out to the side (with 40 scatter guns and 20 PD
in case those 77 fighter squadrons get close.. but they won't). All
have fragile hulls.   :D
