Upon studying the Strategic situation, I feel that further effort needs to be expended in defense in this region. Now that some basic transportation infrastructure has been established, to enable the Syndicate States to more easily help each other directly, I have turned to our local station defense. We have a long range, high power sensor sat in place, although I am not sanguine as to its effectiveness: it may need to be replaced in the near future. My team is also involved in designing a new range of defensive installations. The current generation seems effective enough, but is not cost-efficient. A Third system was proposed by a junior lieutenant, Smythe, and consists of a number of free-flying guided missile drones. This is the most easily packaged system, and promises the highest return on investment. I have authorized both the design, and the trial run of ten of the new "minnow" drones. They are equipped with the old 60mm guided rocket, with a medium payload and advanced guidance system. (100 damage, lock on missiles) An additional feature of these missile drones is that they can easily be carried even by heavy fighters, and a dedicated Drone Tender ship should be able to support several hundred of them. I know that the old Royal Navy used to maintain several such Drone Carriers, but I am unable to locate any plans. At any rate, they should be quite simple to add to most ships in the area as a tertiary defensive system.

((Missile spam drones? Awesome. Maybe do a network of anti missile drones, too? That could easily defend a ship.

[[instead of a simple little 3x3x7 pod I'm thinking 7x7x13 pods. 24+ of them. Armed with high end nuke torpedoes. Think about it. Fear it.]]

(( Apologies for any unnecessary implied offense. I only meant that perhaps you should compose a post for your faction with the new ship on it; not only can we keep our topics more concise, but you have a centralized location for updates. ))

MODERATED: ((( Thank you two for somewhat resolving that on your own. I fully understand the passions this game can bring out, which is part of the reason people like it so much As with any forum, please be respectful of each other and also know that this lore section can be viewed by everyone, not just members of out community. We don't want people coming here to learn about TC and then see a bunch of arguing . We want them to see awesomeness! With that out of the way... Let the awesomeness resume!)))
