 Posted: 26-Dec-2012 21:20 Post subject: Dove and Chickenhawk Aerospace Fighters |
  |
|
Notes: Armor locations of left nose, right nose, cockpit, fuselage top & underneath, left wing top & underneath, right wing top & underneath, left aft, and right aft each have 1 point of armor.
Overview: The 10 ton Dove Aerospace Fighter was originally designed to be used for reconnaisance, and the 20 ton Chickenhawk Aerospace Fighter was originally designed to harass opposing forces.
Capabilities: Both the Doves and Chickenhawks are drone so that they can be expendable if either or both of them are destroyed so more lives can be saved. While that makes piloting of the Chickenhawk and usage of its weapons slightly difficult, each does have an On Target Short Range Targeting System that slightly improves its targeting at short range at the expense of long and extreme ranges. The personnel controlling the Dove/ Chickenhawk can use small pulse laser fire for attacks. The Dove and the Chickenhawks can each achieve a 10 G when each of them overthrusts using their standard fusion engines making them quite fast. Standard fusion engines were chosen to save valuable light, XL, and XXL engines for more important units. Each has minimal armor per each of its armor locations. Each has no cockpit, but it does have a computer & sensors like a typical aerospace fighter.
Vaiants: Sometimes a pulse laser or more will be removed for more fuel and/or more armor.

Did you type this up in Heavy Metal Aero, or did you do this long-hand and copy it in?
If the former, then there's a way to format it for the site.

In that case, you need to enclose the entire text in the tags "pre" tags: use <> around the word "pre" at the start of the text, and use </> around the word "pre" at the end of the text.

you performed a few hand edits though. it will mess with the formatting a bit.

Drop the XL engine and downgrade to small lasers. Much cheaper for expendability. Then drop that cargo nonsense and throw in more armour. Still there are way too few points allocated even for the amount you do have. Sandard military plate gives 16 points and you use advanced composite, that should be giving something like 1,21 multiplier, no? AFAIK the fighters don't have limits for allocation. What exactly are those armour locations? Since Aerotech 2 you only have nose, right and left sides and rear.

its a custom aero layout. top and bottom armor, 3 thrust categories, and extra structure. likely for a custom universe.

| Okay, I doubled its tonnage, increased its thrusts, added two more IS pulse lasers, added more fuel, and now it's easier to read (see first message in this Chickenhawk topic).
