>>6150484Anyone up for updating the monarch? Its the fastest old design that we have. Out of the 3 proposals for Arcturus this one had the flavor text for best speed due to the engine array. In the previous thread the original Raihan order had a big laser cannon instead of the railgun and the total power draw of the laser was intense enough that the power conduits would cook off the missile batteries so those had to be replaced. With hyper conductors that problem goes away and we could replace the railgun with a laser array on the nose with the function of Starwinds ship. Have a powerful point defense array that can combine the power into a concentrated anti ship blast depending on the needs of the situation. We could upgrade the front center and far right and far left turrets with better ballistic tech or make them into particle gun turrets. Remove the center back turrets on the back to open up space for our shields and maybe that would open up the room for a squadron of dudes for Kryskas future work. For this engagement she could also leverage her ships speed with shields to transport the Shimadas anti gundam. Hopefully the tech upgrade will compensate for the fact that there would be less turrets in total. And the superior fusion plus hyper conductors should give our basic shields surprising strength as Cognis said.
In total insane basic shields, powerful point defense, higher tech turrets and great acceleration for interception duties.
