Furion-class Missile Cruiser

[Latus]

*Puts on tech criticism shoes*

Not real criticism from me this time, just a few things that I noticed about this cruiser that I would like to address.

First, if you are going off this picture for the number of single missile tubes that are being launched there are no more than 400 total; 45 per arm, 8 arms, and 4 group of 10 in each joint, another 40.

Also, to be clustered like this the missiles are likely not as large or not as powerful. If the mandalorians were firing top of the line proton missiles this ship would bankrupt them in ammunition cost. I don't know what Boradium missiles are but they sound either powerful or long range, likely not both (either payload or missile fuel, there's a trade-off).

Finally, this ship seems like a flash in the pan long range missile ship. There is no way that you could reload all of those missiles along the arms like that without creating a serious target of opportunity; those thin missile tub-arms. This ship doesn't seem to have any benefit beside just launching missiles and running away. Efficiency would drop off after launching all the missiles and if these are long range they would likely only damage or destroy a single ship; doesn't seem worth it to me.

Anyway, this is my own take on what you have created and so you may take it as such. Arheim is the tech mod, I am just someone giving my opinion.

I've played my share of EaW and if I'm not mistaken baradium missiles are no light payload. They're also powerful and long-ranged. And slow. And heavy. And impractical to mount four-hundred-and-something missile tubes for. I mean honestly: you just spent 3 million credits in a single volley.

Also these are anti-capital missiles and the ship on a whole seems awfully vulnerable to fighters. Sacrifice this a bit.

A compliment of twelve starfighters and twelve fixed, rapid fire laser cannon turrets provided its only defense against starfighters, bombers, and missiles. The launch tubes themselves were very vulnerable when the armored doors opened to reveal them, which is why this vessel was intended to engage enemy vessels at range.

Effectiveness vs. Starfighters: 7
Armor: 6
Shielding: 5

You should probably lower these to better reflect its role as a specialized glass cannon anti-capital ship weapon.

Also, a 5 is pretty much considered the fastest speed for capital ships, so Arh might ask you to lower.

You should probably specify how many missiles are in each tube. How many volleys can it fire before it needs to go resupply?

Alright, fine, Approved, but make this one of the last ones: you've pretty much monopolized the entire construction line-up of Concord Dawn Shipyards for the next three centuries.
