 Posted: 19-Feb-2005 10:44 Post subject: Battlesats |
  |

In the spirit of the incredibly powerful but obscenely expensive Battle Platform, Here are two much smaller battle satellites or "battlesats". They are designed to work in tandem, with the Type 1 beployed in defensive positions around the larger Type 2, taking out any fighters and small craft trying to slip through, and the Type 2 attempting to skag any capital-class ships coming near. Given that the two stations are relatively cheap, I do expect that they could be deployed around an important world in a complete defensive screen.

I just did some math (my head hurts now) and I just tallied up the cost of a small network of Battlesats.
Battlesat Type II x12 = ~6,000,000,000
Battlesat Type I x 72 = ~32,400,000,000
Total = ~38,400,000,000
Each Type II is deployed in a strategic point in the defensive net, with 6 Type Is deployed around it (one on each side: up/down/port/starboard/fore/aft).
Compare the price tag of 38 bil. with the cost of a single McKenna class battleship, 21 bil. For the cost of a battleship and its support ships, you can completely protect an important world, which the ships would probably be used for anyway. The only thing you lose is the flexability of being able to redeploy the ships to other systems.

Right. The small defense network I gave in my example would likely be deployed around an important, but not vital, world. One with a minor-moderate size 'mech production facility perhaps. The more important the system, the larger/deeper the defense screens get.
