UNSC SDN-X designs using Beth's EFSB Heavy Beams Systemsconversions

G'day Bill,

> Thanks for the input! I was second-guessing myself last night when I

I was thinking about it more last night and I'd have to agree with dropping a
couple of the projectors (or upping the size of the capacitor, I usually go
with a capacitor:projector ratio that gives at least 2 dice per projector). I
was wondering about the lack of pulse torps, was the rationale that they'd
developed the heavy beams as the high end pulse torp replacement?

Just in case you're interested my musings on the UNSC SDN went something along
the lines of (haven't actually plugged this in to a designer, this is just a
concept thing):

Hull about 240-250 (255 max)
Thrust about 3 or 4 FTl (obviously) Average hull Double screens 3 projectors
linked upto a class 6 capacitor (all arced F)
2x2 arc pulse torps (one FP/F other F/FS)
1 single arc pulse torp (F) 2 SML with a load out of 2 ER SMs each (someone
mentioned something about missile hatches on the side of the figure?) 6 PDS
4+ FC
Some class 2s or 3s if there's any room left (if some room left but its
pitfully small then class 1)

Have fun

Beth

Beth, you are absolutely right. That is exactly what I was thinking. Now as
I promised to everyone, here is a revision of the SDN-X.
