  |

Class/Model/Name: Mosquito
Tech: Inner Sphere / 3062
Vessel Type: Monitor (JumpShip Transportable)
Rules: Level 3, Custom design
Rules Set: AeroTech2
Mass: 80,000 tons
Hull: Saroyan Cavalier
Length: 509 meters
Power Plant: FireHeart Standard
Safe Thrust: 8
Maximum Thrust: 12
Armor Type: Durallex Nova Lamellor Ferro-carbide
Armament:
10 NL55
1 Barracuda
8 Buzzsaw AMS
1 Datacom 50 Guardian ECM
24 M-7 Gauss Rifle
64 Magna Sunspot ER PPC
2 NL35
Manufacturer: Jalastar Aerospace
Location: Panpour
Communications System: Datacom 50 w. Guardian ECM
Targeting & Tracking System: Alexis Photon Targeting Acquisition System
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Mosquito class escort vessel is intended to protect vulnerable dropships
and transports from enemy attack during a planetary assault.
==Capabilities:==
Carrying an engine intended for ships twice its' size, the Mosquito is one of
the fastest capital-scale ships in existence. The ship's speed, relative small
size, and Guardian ECM system combine to make the ship extremely difficult for
enemy gunners to hit.
The ship's primary firepower is the array of naval-scale lasers, as well as a
capital-scale missile system. Anti-fighter capability is not neglected, with
the craft mounting over 20 Gauss Rifles, and 60 Extended-Range Particle
Cannons.
The ship is fitted with almost over-large fuel and supply bays, allowing the
craft to be used on extended deployments while lessening the strain on the
fleet supply stores.
==Deployment==
The Mosquito is deployed in very large numbers, with every transport fleet and
assault squadron that can support them.

This what I consider to be my best design ever. Probably because it's so powerful, while remaining so cheap.

I''ll give you something more detailed in a bit - I've got a class in three minutes. But, if you're doing level 3 anyways, why not use LAMS?

Several things:
1) Heat. The Laser AMS generates 12 points of heat when fired (according to HM-Aero, what other effects happen upon firing, I don't know).
2) Cost. A single LAMS system costs about 230,000 C-Bills. A standard AMS costs 100,000 +ammo.
3) Effective Tonnage. According to HM-Aero, a LAMS has an effective tonnage of 13.5 tons (1.5+12+0) and a standard AMS has a tonnage of 2.5 (.5+1+1).
4) Real-Life Considerations. In real life, a ballistic system would be much easier to maintain than a complex laser weapon. The only truly complex parts of the AMS are the automation and fire-control circuitry. The entirety of the LAMS is a series of circuits, galvanizing coils, focusing crystals, etc.

Actually, it is more likely they are ignoring your designs for abit. I find that this group withdraws from commenting when barraged by more then a few new design posts everyday.
You have basicly flooded the forum and will get few responces as people take a break from reading your posts.

Hmm. That actually explains a lot. Maybe I'll take a few days break between posting designs.
But that don't mean I'll take breaks between making them!
Thanks, Mister Vagabond!

Standard IS AMS destroys 1d6 missiles and uses 2d6 shots of ammunition.
LAMS destroy 2d6 missiles and do equal heat. For vehicles and most non-mech units the ability to disipate all the heat is needed. This is why the max heat of 12 is listed in all HM Programs.

Another thing that would help is if you would use brackets that would make the format cleaner and easier to read for old folk like me with tired eyes

Drop the code I used that only so you could see the otherwise it does not show up ...but you have the right idea

I like it. Fast, powerful, well armored for its size (I'm an armor fanatic), and pretty cheap too. The only disadvantage is that you'd need to leave it in one system, or have some JumpShip cart it around.
Even several of these won't do too well against heavier WarShips, but they'll rule against DropShips for sure.
And Motown's suggesting that you use < pre >, not < code > (without spaces, of course). Code brings me pain, and it makes things very hard to read. Of course, you already seem to have edited it...

That's the idea. They're transported along with the invasion fleet, and clear the way for friendly dropships.

This would make a decent System dfence vessel you have good armour and the armament is decent I might want to spread your front weapons out a bit move two of the NL55s from the nose to the frront corner arcs.That would give you 2 in each arc and a better spread at your speed you are likely to be blowing past an enemy at high speed
