based on observations, as only the new ships GTVA like Raynor and the Chimera, this type of weapon used,

placing a queen Ice Beam Cannon in a GTD Hecate, (assuming that a reactor was a chaplain is able to feed)

the beam of light will remain thin, very cohesion, and accurate, but green, maintain the properties of cohesion and precision for designing the beam cannon, but maybe would lose rank and damage to be powered by a standard reactor, and not a new-generation reactor (Meson)


understanding that the color blue was chosen aesthetically, it will only look for a logical, to be applied, but also explained the weapons when they are, more lethal sound xD

Thanks for responding!

[Luis Dias]

Actually the idea of updating older weapons not with the punch of the new, but as if they are better optimized with new technologies and new "focusing" ideas, etc. sounds pretty well.

[crizza]

Reminds me a little bit of the Iowas or Midway...how is this called in englisch...combat refit?

The problem is, in BP fluff, retrofitting the new beams on the old ships is not an option for the GTVA, given that they are rather spending the money on entirely new ships. In addition, the new beam designs are a big departure from the old ones, and retrofitting is not a straightforward procedure.

[Snail]

In the case of the Aeolus though, they're building entirely new ships, so it's not so really retrofitting.

[Dragon]

Aeolus, though, was designed with old beams in mind.
Since new beams are power hungry, large and require a special kind of emiter (as seen on most new GTVA ships), adding them to Aeolus is not worth the cost, since used properly, it shouldn't need to use them, being an antifighter ship.

yes, it is useless to adapt the GTC Aeolus to use the new beam emitters, and that other ships met the anti-capital function much better than this, and besides its main role is to ship escort

but taking the conversation a little later I think it can be quite helpful for GTVA, place a beam emitters "Ice Queen" at the tip of the GTD Hecate

Replacing the Crypt Hammer, changing the beam emitter, and adapting it to be used by Hecate, would be a sort of "Green Queen", less effective than the "Ice Queen" yes, of course, but I'm sure that the modification will would give a little more range and higher precision and talking about a destroyer, I think the modification may be worth,
 

[MatthTheGeek]

If the upgrade is doing only that, increasing slightly the range/power, then it's definitely not worth it. Crypt Hammers (BGreens for those who don't read tech descriptions) are much cheaper than retrofitting the destroyer, they are reliable, and they are easily overloaded, which, according to the tech description, has become common practice since the whole technology got perfected. This is used and abused in WiH in both missions where Hecates are involved.

This kind of stability and reliability won't be found on jury-rigged retrofit.

there is no way of knowing how it would affect the modification, that is something that only BP guys know ^ ^

it can increase the range, I'm sure, I think the theory is more cohesion = more can stretch if you lose the ability to do damage

They don't know a thing 'til they make it.

Touche

But why would they improve the Hecates anti-capship capabilities, when they try to avoid putting the Hecate in that situation as much as they possibly can. The Hecate is a carrier, not a destroyer hunter.
For that you got strike corvettes and in really tight situations Titans, Raynors or even Orions.
And while it isn't specifically mentioned in any fluff I read, I wouldn't be surprised if the GTVA has plans to phase out their Hecates and replace them with Titans as soon as the got enough of those build.

[headdie]

Because every time the Hecates got jumped during the NTF/2nd Shivan conflicts they got creamed

[Luis Dias]

Putting a better beam up front wouldn't help much. The UEF would just try to pin them down from other angles, and then you'd have wasted millions of credits for nuthin'.

[MatthTheGeek]

Yup. Not to mention how fragile the beam dishes are, already on a reliable design, would probably be even more fragile on a jury-rigged retrofit.

The Hecate is just not a anti-cap design. They're already being phased out, as quickly as the GTVA can build Titans and Raynors, aka slowly.

Ok!..
if the titan is excellent, Hecate paresca makes a piece of trash
