That would be a more "strategic" craft... I kind of like the idea.

[Mobius]

It would turn the Adrastos(?) into an almost perfect war machine. I don't know what the author has in mind, however...

[BloodEagle]

Once again, I'm under the assumption that this starship is more advanced than a Deimos, therefore, it should be stronger.

Stick with the BGreens.

[Mobius]

A few TerSlash beams with a main dumb Green beam. Where's the problem? The BGreens are the way too powerful for a corvette. Even one BGreen is overkill.

[AllStarZ]

Revised version.

1 BGreen
1 TerSlash
3 AAAf Beams
3 Standard Flak
4 Terran Turret
1 MX-52

Because all of its main beam armament is at the front, it would be extremely vulnerable to attack from the sides. In effect its role is to jump in and take care of capships quickly and run away.

Besides, the Iceni has 3 BGreens, and its scarcely larger than a Deimos.

But there's only one Iceni!

Think about it:
The BGreen can squash an entire destroyer with FOUR SHOTS. FOUR. Do you really think this kind of firepower can be on a mass-produced corvette?

EDIT:
But of course, it is all up to the author, so ignore me.

[TrashMan]

For the Love of pastrami sandwiches! Make your own beam for it and balance it accordingly!

And the same Destroyer squashes that corvette in 2(maybe 3?) shots from its own BGReen. I think that's fair.

[TrashMan]

Yes it does, but a destroyer is almost times the volume of a corvette and costs a lot more.

So it needs to be DESTROYER >> CORVETTE

That said, a single BGreen per a corvette doesn't sound streched. I have one like that. Hell I have a Frigate that has even more firepower. You got to remember to balance it out by making them vulnerable on other ways. Best to make them their own weapons.

[Steel Prophet]

You could also scale the ship up a bit and make it a "light" destroyer. You don't have to worry if a BGreen is too much firepower then.

[Hellstryker]

As far as names go Adrastos, Rhea, and Tethys sound good to me, though i was going to use Rhea as somthing myself

[AllStarZ]

How about Ontos?

[Steel Prophet]

How about Ontos?

Sounds more like a Tank to me.

Ideas for a name:
note: the HCv in GTHCv means 'Heavy Corvette'

GTHCv Iikram Selucreh
GTHCv Nodimrym
GTHCv Semreh
GTHCv Amehan
GTHCv Anavar
GTHCv Edon Mmoc

Anyone ready to kill me yet?   


:edit:

whoops!

[Admiral_Stones]

Assuming a Heavy Cruiser is smaller then a Corvette...

I personally don't like strange prefixes. GTCv is ok, that model is a corvette. The Herc II and the Tauret are not HF.

Revised version.

3 AAAf Beams
3 Standard Flak
4 Terran Turret
1 MX-52

Besides, the Iceni has 3 BGreens, and its scarcely larger than a Deimos.

I'd give it 2 Terslashes, in the front/side corners so the Cv would be capable of shooting targets on it's sides, and if it's attacking something big it could also shoot all 3 beams forward.
Another thing is that 3 AAA's is less than a Leviathan has.

P.S. Giving a Mjolnir like beam in the front turret doesn't make it useless in anything other than a blockade, since the ship is facing it's target for minutes during a slow attack run, aiming the beam cannon at it.

[Snail]

MjolnirBeam#home seems like the best choice to me. BGreens are very powerful. In fact, they do MORE than half as much damage as the BFGreen. You people really do like overpowered ships. But overpowered ships are good...

Then he should use the BFGreen... I use it on the Cobra and no one complained

Why not make the Gargant 10 times bigger, while you're at it?

Not that that's a bad idea...
