Going to respond in reverse order.
@ Kyle:
1. There's such a page?
2. I put it there since I needed a wiki page link to get started. Have removed it.
@ Uso:
I fully realized the necessity for balanced thrust but since this is science fiction rather than something i intend to take out and fly, I don't see why we can't skip that rule of physics. We have sudden FTL acceleration and deceleration without crews being subjected to massive amounts of inertia (and becoming goo).
I also realize the design is crude. I think the IC explanation for why it is so crude should suffice to satisfy your complaints on the design. Most rush job designs aren't very elegant. I don't mind also saying that this is merely a stop-gap unit whilst I get more comfortable with DOGA to design an NMX cruiser unit with multiple variants. That, however, is a project that won't be started for at least a month or two.
@ Fred:
Thanks. My design philosophy is have a large, blocky hull so as to maximise interior space and reduce surface area. Make it simple and practical, with lots of weapons and combat systems.
As above, it's meant to simply be a sort of stop-gap for the next few years. The real Irim and Eikan killers are yet to be designed. And since I plan multiple variants for those, it'll probably take a while before its completed. Then, I need to refine them with some prototypes in a test RP before deciding which variants make the final cut.
Hopefully once this Type 33 Cruiser is approved, it can start joining the battlefield and killing some mean Irims while I slowly work on the new heavies.
