The best weapons for a close combat ship?

[Suicide Junkie]

The rules are:
1) you can't design a ship unless it has the requested number of LS/CQ, or a MC
2) ships lose movement if they have ZERO lifesupports or crewquarters remaining.
3)ships lose movement if they have no intact bridge or aux con.
4)any ship with an intact MC is exempt from rules 2 & 3.

One each of B/LS/CQ is enough to fly the ship normally, but you can't save that design unless you have an MC (or are designing a ship < 450KT in size).

Formations I like to use (from the default formations )

are for the combined assalt fleet Butterfly or bull.

For Planet assalt fleets I like to use the Dome formation.

less than 10 ships then arrow.

Escorting damaged ships or fleets on escort duty ( say around a planet killer, warp creator etc... ) Diamond.

The order of the ships in the fleet is very very important. Just like the weapons placement. ( I could be wrong on that but ) I am assuming that from the formations text file.

I have also created a few other formations for my combined fleets which I will be keeping to my self since the pbem players read these forums as well.

The organic armour is just there to fill up space really. I had 30kt of space to fill up, so it went to the armour plate.

May I suggest a PDC and armorIII instead. (Just my 2 cents).

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

Question if your ship only has a MC can a boarding party take over your ship???
