I don't think anyone has done the GUI yet for three primaries, so it'll probably be two.  Hmm.... Kaysers for the heavies, I'd think. Probably either a Prom R or a beam of some sort for the mediums.  Do you think a Rockeye would work for the dumbfire seeker missiles?

Remember Iwar2 has several grades of dumbfire seekers: standard seekers, harrowers (seekers with a heavier payload) and deadshots (harrowers with a longer range, better onboard computers and a better payload). Rockeyes are probably a good bottom end for that. I don't know what you'd use higher up. Of course, there's nothing keeping you from using those anti-subsystem (Trebuchet?) missiles, or the like either.

Oh, and I just checked. A fully loaded AdPat with two quadpack launchers with an internal magazine for each carries 90 dumbfire seekers (four magazines in each quadpack plus ten more magazines on the internal loaders, five seekers per magazine).

Fantastic, it's entering the final stages. I'm totally ignorant on appropriate armament and armour, so I'll let Mik handle this for now - but I'm really itching to see this in FS. :)

Will it be appropriately sized in FS though? Its huge compared to an FS fighter. Its also a hell of a lot more manueverable. The damn thing can turn on a dime and do things that makes a Whitestar jealous.

Well yeah. :)

But still, will the AdPat be the Sledgehammer of Doom it is in Iwar2, or will it be a cranky slow thing between a capship and a bomber?

I was thinking about Hercules Mk. II speed and maneuverability. Which considering the fact it's the size it was in IW2, is pretty good speed and maneuverability.
