A pair of hydrofoils I worked up. The first is loosely based on WWII PT Boats. It's an omni for the simple reason that PT Boats were essentially Omnis, with weapons configs changing throughout the war and varying from boat to boat.

The Second design is loosely based on the PT Boat's successor, the missile boat. Yes, it's short on ammo, but it's based on a craft that had 4 OS missiles, designed for hit and run.

A Note: The Light turret armour is due to the fact that they are open, in keeping with the originals.

Comments/suggestions are welcome.

Its a pity that naval ships are now nearly obsolete in game play, but can be interesting if the GMs gets creative.

I agree, but these things are light enough and pack enough of a punch for their size that it they could actually be considered for assaults.

That and the fact that I could see a a squadron of these more likely than even one of two of some of the canon monsters in a defencive role.
