' Wrote:Front cannons are typically 900m/s ones. Not entirely sure which niche this ship will fill though. Rheinland already has a pretty heavy cruiser that can fire 4 heavy turrets forward. Adding a battlecruiser might be overkill.
Yes, but that's not a true FG - it's sort of a turret, as far as I understand.
Also, PvP wise, I have some questions.
2 Cruiser heavy slots, located at the back - are they capable of firing forward?
Because otherwise it is a battlecruiser that is bigger then LABC, with it's forward gun not firing backward, and with only 2 lvl7 slots firing forward, together with it's FG. Pretty weak, I'd say - even Komainu would have more firepower.
Also, taking into account that it's gun is not firing backwards, which de-facto forces this vessel to perform dolphin maneuver while dealing with enemy BS'es with it's FG (or rely on DpE-wise x2 times inferior LMs), which, combined with the sheer size of this vessel might not work out well enough, I'd say these stats for it's FG would be better, and in no way make it overpowered (according to model, it's somewhat underpowered vessel. Additional armor does not make up for the lack of kiting and firepower capabilities, if this thing will have same agility as other BCs)
Main gun:
Dammage: 67200
Sheild dammage: 50,400 (uh? Shouldn't Hull damage be 100.800 then, that equals to 2 RM BS primaries?)
Range: 3200 to 3400
Speed: 800 to 750
Refire rate: .5 (one shot every two seconds)
Energy used: 176000 ( 0.38DpE gun with DpS of 1.34 primaries?)
Intresting stats,i wonder how will manage in battle.If mighty Rheinland build Battlecruisers i want to be on that list as a captain.i hope we see that in space,not only on paper.
