[Tomb] -- This looks a lot like my design, only mass 40 seemed a bit
heavy.
I thought about 36, but since Schoon thought 32-34, I went with mass 34.
I gave it a weak hull, 4 armour, thrust 6, FTL, 2 class 2s, 3 class 2s, 2
firecons. I think 3 fire cons are pretty much overkill for this class, unless
the HNB requires one itself. Even then it might be overkill. I didn't bother
with PDS because it is my feeling 1 PDS is a waste of effort. In a
pinch, class 1s can serve as half-assed PDS, but they can also spit out
good damage. Schoons suggestion was to get some more hull and drop some of the
armour IIRC (he also seems to favour a PDS...).
I'll post my SSD when I'm done.
