AMS rounds normally, so 12 is sufficient to take out a killer whale.
Having a bit more could make sense for robustness against battle damage.

Basic Setting: "...and the rise of the Heirs of Steiner-Davion..." This is an alternate setting where Hanse Davion won the Succession Wars and the Inner Sphere was unified under the banner of First Lord Victor Steiner-Davion by 3067. Explaining how that came about would take more bandwidth than the specifics of the challenge itself, so I'll just leave it at this. Everything came up Hanse, the Draconis Combine has become one of the First Lord's most ardent supporters, the Federated Suns (under Katherine) has become one of his most ardent opponents, the Capellan Confederation is under military occupation for rebelling again, it's 3081, and the Star League council has just ratified a naval treaty to prevent an arms race that might bring it all crashing down.


Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build a navy compliant with the treaty specifications described below for one of the Star League's member states. (Federated Suns, Lyran Commonwealth, Draconis Combine, Free Worlds League, technically the Capellan Confederation I suppose, also the Free Rasalhague Republic and Magistracy of Canopus as minor powers, and the Star League Defense Force as itself). You can assume that this state starts with the fleet it had at roughly the modern height of its naval power in the canon timeline (so just before the jihad for most, or before the Fedcom civil war for the Suns and the Commonwealth, with adjustments where appropriate). The Star League Defense Force has inherited Comstar's entire navy (ten warships, that's all, we swear. What would we be doing with a large fleet?) and received the cruiser Covenant from the Draconis Combine, but beyond that, they're starting with a blank slate. 

Some Questions based on the setting.

1.  By "everything" comes up Hanse, can we assume the 4SW & 39 war happened but with results favored towards the FC side?

2.  How is Kathrine in charge of the FS half of the FC?

3.  Would the SLDF have also absorbed the CC Fleet ships from their "rebellion" ?   So they have those few Destroyers & the Cruisers (Phoenix transated?)


This is mostly for the fluff history I'm giving to each of my designs, which are almost all based on existing FC designs.

1.  By "everything" comes up Hanse, can we assume the 4SW & 39 war happened but with results favored towards the FC side?

The key turning point was the War of 3039, where instead of flinching at Theodore's counter attack, Hanse ordered his forces to push on. This allowed Theodore to cause some chaos in the rear, but in the end, he couldn't sustain his operation, the Combine kept losing worlds, and the war ended in an unambiguous defeat for them. It all snowballs from there. Without the humbling affect of not winning the war of 3039 and with the Combine on the back foot, Hanse pressures Candace Liao into usurping her sister or watching the Fedcom annex the Capellan Confederation. With Theodore's methods discredited by the loss of the War of 3039, the DCMS actually becomes more traditional and hidebound, which, combined with the damage from the last war they still hadn't recovered from, sees them get beaten again in the war of 3050. This time they are so badly beaten that Hohiro Kurita (whose dad and granddad are lost in the fighting) formally surrenders in 3057 and acknowledges Victor Steiner Davion as First Lord of the Star League, sealing the compact by marrying his sister Omi to Victor. At this point, the Free Worlds League decides it's better to recognize his claim than try to fight everybody else.

2.  How is Kathrine in charge of the FS half of the FC?

This was actually the original intention of the Fedcom alliance, with Katherine being regent of the Fed Suns and Peter being Regent of the Commonwealth while Victor ruled over the whole thing. It's why Katherine was raised primarily on New Avalon. Keep in mind that she's still Katherine, just a Katherine whose parents were around a bit longer, giving their children more time to grow, mature, and get experience before they had to rule. So her machinations are more subtle, more refined, but her goals are the same.

Yes, though because they were mostly used for Terrorism during the last rebellion and thus have bad PR, the SLDF prefers to keep them in reserve.

Neat. I look forward to it.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

*looks around*  Well, I see we've rounded up the usual suspects.

Ill try to find a spreadsheet tuned for the relevant period and look at seeing what an updated, upteched version of of my old design ideas would look like.  Hmm.  I notice were tonnage but not cost limited, so likely assumptions:

Fighter carriage will be maxed (value added)
Docking Collars will be maxed (same)
Cargo likely light, as cargo carriage from warship tonnage eats into warship tonnage, but cargo carriage from droppers, etc. is 'free'.

Hmm.  Im also tempted to revist my 'warships on the cheap' experiment, focusing on avoiding the hyper-expensive collars in favor of cargo, dropshuttles, drop-small-craft, etc.   I know its not in the treaty 'terms', but how much do we care (if at all) about C-Bills?

Maxed Collars won't happen per his rules.

There is a 2-4-6 limit based on tonnage.

Right, max per treaty - every ship should probably have that treaty max of 2 (or 4, or 6) - as we are mass and hull-count limited, but not C-Bill Limited.

Right, max per treaty - every ship should probably have that treaty max of 2 (or 4, or 6) - as we are mass and hull-count limited, but not C-Bill Limited.

Ah, yes, well in that case, yes, max is very likely since they aren't very large maximums as is.

My "modifications" that I'm working on for FC canon ships are all requiring major changes, in terms of DropShip count.

LCN:

After much debate and several refit proposals for existing craft, the leadership of the Commonwealth settled on a design proposal focusing on all-new construction for their active forces, to be followed by a steady schedule of refits of both active and naval reserve vessels.  First Lord of the Admiralty John Angler Alarion, 17th Earl Angler and Duke Alarion, managed to mobilize the financiers behind the Lyran Shipbuilding interests to pressure for a 'forward looking' approach, stressing the value of regenerating and expanding capabilities in the Lyran Navy.  This of course served the profits of those industries, but also (it was argued) represented the best way to keep the naval design and construction skills and personnel in readiness for expanded future service - history taught well that Naval Construction Treaties lasted only until the first shot is fired, and only the dead know the end of war.

Ironically, given their forward-looking focus, the design inspiration for their naval designs looked back to the early days of the Commonwealth, taking designs long out of service and adapting their concepts for the newer era.  The first of those was to be the pride of the 'New Lyran Navy', the Buri Class Battleships.  This was followed closely by construction of the Tyr class heavy cruiser, Ullr Light Cruisers and the later Heimdaller support frigates.

Fleet Composition:
6x BB Buri (1.5 MT, 3/5, 150 SI, 80xHNPPC, 80 x Lt. Gauss, ELRM/20, HPPC w/Cap, AMS)
12 x CA Tyr (980 KT, 3/5, 150 SI, 36xNAC/20, 32xNL/55, 80 x Lt. Gauss, ELRM/20, HPPC w/Cap, AMS)
12 x CL Ullr (510 KT, 4/6, 120 SI, 32xNL/55, 80 x Lt. Gauss, ELRM/20, HPPC w/Cap, AMS)
30 x FF Heimdallr (100 KT, 5/8, 90 SI, 80x HPPC w/Cap, AMS)
0 x BB Wotan (2.4 MT, 3/5, 100 SI, 80 HNPPC, 180 Fighters, multiple regiment transport - Mass production design study)

This composition fills out the maximum total allowed hulls (60), while using almost all of the allowed tonnage (29.98) and acheving most, but not all, of the maximum dropship carriage on warship hulls (the LCN Carries 192 Dropships on its Warship Hulls.  A hypothetical 10/30/20 navy would carry 220, and more fighters, but it was felt that 'heavy' cruisers and battleships provided enough advantages to justify losing the additional carriage).  More BBs and CAs were desired, but flag showing and peacetime taskings were felt to take precedence, and the high combat staying power of the modern CA and BB hulls was felt to make up for the lack of numbers, especially in combination with combat dropships.

Some dropship designs may be licensed from other powers (-cough- Lagrange)

The Fleet is organized into six squadrons, on paper broken down as follows:
1 Buri BB Mechs, 3 Regiments Vehicles,
2 Tyr CA
2 Ullr CL
5 Heimdallr FF






BB Buri

Code: [Select]
The Buri class was laid down to provide the core of the anticipated LCN Task Forces.  Though officially a
treaty limit Battleship, rumors and leaks of design documents indicated that there was something unusual
about her K-F Core, with excessive cooling and power leads into and out of it.  This lead to a tail-chase of
rumors exploring the idea that the Lyrans were experimenting with some kind of 'superjump' system or
other unknown capacity, and in an unusual fit of competence, the Lyran Intelligence services encouraged
them to jump down this rabbit hole, eventually 'revealing' that the Naval Architects of the LCN had tried for
something special, failed, and ended up with an overdesigned, inefficient FTL Drive for their flagship class.

The truth was, as usual, somewhat more prosaic.  Too many cooks had their hands in the stew, and by the
time the first hull was nearing completion, it was realized that she was somewhat over designed mass (thus
requiring the KF Core refit).  Rather than rebuild from ground zero, her flight decks were intentionally under-
equipped with fighter service bays, and large sections of her cargo bays were consigned to 'dead space' in
the hull, unused and unaccounted for.  While this requires the LCN to be somewhat cagey about how close it
lets other powers to her hull and design specs, for fear of sanctions from the Star League, it does allow them
to quickly install the additional fighter capacity and open the doors on her cargo space, expanding the short
ranged defensive BB into a reasonable cruiser BBV as an 'instant breakout', if another navy is found to be
violating the treaty.

Even in her peacetime configuration, Buri is a solid, if somewhat uninspired, treaty battleship.  With the
usual treaty-maximum parasite craft, she focuses on maximizing armored resilience and long range
firepower.  With the same extreme range firepower (and better broadside fire) than the venerable McKenna
(so often a yardstick for Battleship design), coupled with over three times the armored protection, the Buri
are designed to operate in squadrons, using massed fires from their bracketed, C3-Enabled PPC Batteries to
deliver decisive fires from outside enemy engagement ranges.


((Out of character note - the Buri is a tip of my hat to both my beloved and unused design from the old warship
design race challenge, and also to the very real tendency of every naval power to 'game' naval treaties - arguments
about how ships are to be weighed, at what load, as well as deception, lies, overbuilding, and the like, along with
claimed violations, escalator clauses.. the gamesmanship that went on around the IRL Washington Treaties is really
interesting if your the sort of person that cares about such things))

CA Tyr

Code: [Select]
As the first Buri keel was being laid, the design work for the follow on Cruiser class, Tyr, was being completed.
Realizing that Buri was destined to be overweight, Tyr sacrified her intended NGauss armament for a lighter array of
NAC and NL mounts.  Though this cost her some of her combat range, it allowed her to maintain firepower while
ensuring the final design was, if only slightly, UNDER the maximum mass allowed by treaty, with some room for
growth.   Intended to serve as support for the heavier Buri as well as capable of independent cruising operations, Tyr
shared the point-defense suite of her larger predecessor at a 1:1 ratio, as well as matching all of Buri's extensive
electronics suite.  Unlike her larger sister, she is a more balanced combatant, mounting 6 triple NAC/20 turrets on
each flank, supported by a pair of quad NL/55s intended to strengthen her anti-fighter array as well as giving her a
bit more reach.  The NACs allow Tyr to retain most of Buri's throw weight at only a moderate cost in range and
accuracy, whilst still out-reaching the NAC/30 mounts common on most vessels.

CL Ullr

Code: [Select]
The Ullr Class of Light Cruisers grew out of a design study for a large, fast cruiser, focusing on naval lasers and PPCs
to engage opposing vessels from outside the range of effective reply - as well as carrying sufficient thrust to enable
them to maintain that range.  Whilst the Heavy Cruiser design space was eventually given over to the Tyr class and
its focus on heavy armor and battleline support, designers recognized the value of a fast, tough, long-ranging light
cruiser to serve as a picket and patrol vessel for the navy, as well as providing the core of any light force squadrons.
 It carries the now-standard layered anti-aircraft arsenal typical of the Lyran naval Services.  This was questioned by
some officers as extravagant and overly expensive, given the ever smaller vessels it is fitted with, but the cost in
both mass and resources was low, particularly because the standard AAA package has evolved over the years into a
single set of 'plug and play' modules that slot into standard fittings on the ships that carry them.  Anti-ship
armament is light for a vessel of its size, but unlike her larger sisters, Ullr is not meant to involve herself in knock-
down fights with other capital ships.  The continued presence of lavish C&C facilities, including sensors,
communications, battlecomputers, and the exorbitantly expensive Mobile HPG was also questions, but eventually
justified given the ships role as squadron leaders and scouts.  As always on modern Lyran vessels, cargo is light and
lithium fusion batteries are standard, but it is the policy of the navy that it is cheaper in both c-bills and combat
power to carry supplies on dropships, and cheaper to have ships that can cover more space more quickly via their
LF-Batteries, especially given the lavish outlays of recharge stations being produced to multiply the mobility of
lithium-fusion ships.

FF Heimdaller

Code: [Select]
Though officially an FF, the Heimdaller would more properly be described as a Corvette, or perhaps a support ship. 
Blazingly fast, lightly armored (for a Lyran vessel) and almost unarmed by the standards of capital ships, the
Hiemdaller is a fast scout and raider.  With no capital weapons, and with the ELRMs and Light Gauss Rifles of the
'LCN Standard' AAA fit withdrawn to save mass, she presents only a limited threat to all but the lightest of hostile
warships.  Even so, a broadside of 40 Capacitor-Fed ERPPCs is sufficient to chew up fighter squadrons and
overwhelm most 'pocket' warships, but those are not her purpose - her purpose is her combination of speed,
sensors, and strategic mobility.  Though cargo carriage is light, her own small size and ability to potentially carry
twice her mass again in cargo-focused dropships allows her potentially unmatched endurance.  In such a profile, the
Heimdallr would jump into hostile systems outside of the standard points, leaving her cargo tonnage behind, hidden
in the darkness, while she conducts high speed recon, security, or raiding missions within the system.  Lacking the
LNCSS and Mobile HPG of the larger Lyran warships somewhat detracts from her mission in this regard, but looking
at the cost of those systems on vessels of such a small size, the budget analysts of the Commonwealth finally put
their feet down.

As production was being finalized, and cost analysis being conducted, the shipwrights of the LCN put together an unorthodox proposal for an 'unlimited', wartime battleship.  By removing the exorbitantly expensive drop-collars, Naval C3 Suite, and the mobile HPG, it was found that a larger version of the Buri with similar antiship firepower, but otherwise superior in every respect, could be produced for a cost similar to the (admitted expensive!) light cruisers.  Intended to go into serial production at the first crack in the naval treaty, they would supplant the existing navy with units that could do a Battleships job, and more, in the wall of battle, while saving the cost of dropcollars and dropships by meeting the dropship roles of carrying cargo, troops, fighter coverage, and the like inside the enlarged warship - reducing costs and unshackling the military offensive from slow, equisitely vulnerable jumpships and fragile dropships.  Carrying a full regiment of battlements, along with a regiment of heavy tanks and two regiments of light vehicles, along with the three regiments of battle armor that ride into combat in those vehicles, combat delivery provided by the two full regiments of small craft, able to carry the entire complement to ground in three sorties from orbit, and can carry a further 12 Kilotons of supplies down from orbit each trip, keeping field units supplied from the 150KT Cargo Bay of the Wotan.  If necessary, the two regiments of small craft bays can be filled by areofighter, raising the vessels complement to 300, but the full division of 180 aerospace fighters was deemed sufficient for almost all circumstances.

Accommodations are comfortable to the point that some would call them lavish, with even the lowest ranking soldier or mechanic bunking in second class crew quarters.  Though somewhat expensive in terms of space, this was considered a worthwhile sacrifice in the name of endurance and crew performance.

While the Wotan's capital battery is no better than that of her smaller cousin, the anti-fighter batteries were heavily supplemented, with a total of 80 Long Tom Cannon and Silver Bullet Gauss Rifles added to the existing 'Lyran Standard' AAA Array.  Not overlooked was the fact that these expanded PDS arrays also contributed significant anti-ship fire against any vessel trying to run under the Wotan's guns.

Proposals exist for producing networked command versions, with expanded passenger berthing and the NC3 and HPG capabilities reinstalled, though it is felt at this time that the near 50% increase in per-hull costs defeats the point of the Wotan proposal.

With 6 sets of designs, I though it would be interesting to compare them.   

Doing this in a way which is concise and meaningful is delicate. 

My favored approach compares the geometric mean (= square root) of the armor and damage to form a number which measures the ability to survive a slugging contest.  This number is additive: you can get a fair estimate of which side will win a slugging contest battle by adding up this number for each side. 

Of course there are many caveats:
Preferred direction: Warships almost always have a preferred direction, often Broadside, but sometimes Nose.  This can be dealt with by computing the number for each possible preferred direction while taking into account overlapping arcs, hit tables, and structural integrity, then taking the maximum.  The Broadside is typically a superior preferred direction due to a better critical table, more arcs, and a slightly higher to-hit number.  The Aft is the worst preferred direction.
Average direction: Warships don't always get to choose their preferred facing, particularly in close combat.  To deal with this we can compute the average.
Thrust: Thrust has an enormous effect on the ability to either hold or close range as preferred.
Range: Weapons with more range are generally more usable.  Taking 52 hexes as a baseline, we can compute the average damage out to 52 hexes.  In other words, an ER large laser does .8*19/52 average damage over the range.
Max Range: The maximum range of weapons can have a huge tactical effect when the faster ship has greater range and otherwise is relatively meaningless.
Battle Armor: Boarding parties are an underhanded tactic that can be quite effective.  Having marines on board greatly helps against this.  Of course, auxilliary craft can carry more marines as well.
Missile: Many ships are effectively immune to missiles via massed AMS fire.  This can be taken into account by discounting missile-based weapons and noting which warships are missile immune.  Battle damage and auxiliaries can change this significantly.   All other ships are missile resistant in that a sufficient number of them stacked together creates missile immunity.
Naval C3: Naval C3 can have a dramatic effect on the chance of hitting at long or extreme range. 
Screen Launcher: Screen Launchers provide tactical flexibility to close with long-ranged opponents while avoiding fire or to block off one opponent while concentrating fire on another.
Carrier: Carrier designs provide very significant firepower through their fighter complement rather than their weapons.
Kinetic: Warships with more than half kinetic damage have a substantial advantage in high speed engagements.
HPG: Ships with an HPGs can greatly shorten command loops affecting strategic scale operations.
S/L NCSS: Ships with a Large or Small Naval Commscanner Suite have improved detection abilities which provide extra warning or the option to decline combat.

Essentially everyone mounts maximum collars, smallcraft, and fighters while using Lithium Fusion batteries.  The numbers in parens are taking into account only capital scale weapons.

Amongst the minor powers, the Canopians use the Broadside arc and otherwise look like:

Looking through, the LCN Buri stands out as clearly the highest scoring ship. 

The Canopians have the more 'primitive' ships due to lack of advanced electronics. Despite this, the Artemis Destroyer scores highest in the 500- category.

The SLDF has both the slowest and fastest designs.

The TCN's Anvil scores highest in the 1000K-500K category although at the cost of missile immunity and a Nose instead of Broadside arc.

Both the DCN and LCN have eschewed carriers.

And now I'm gonna make you redo that table to add my ships :P

Finally getting around to this, didn't do it before because I kept having writers block for the fluff, but you'll at least get stats.

To simplify production and maintenance, and to help keep per-unit costs down, the DCA fleet standardized as much as possible, with the entire fleet having LF Batteries; a Large NCSS; Naval C3; Lamellor Ferro-Carbide armour and the same calibre guns of each type (NPPCs, NACs and NLs). AMS is also standard, but it was decided to leave the job of Anti-ASF to the Fubuki DDs as well as the fleets ASF and Dropship complement, thus no standard-scale guns are mounted on the Atago or Nagato.

The standardization of the fleets guns went as far as using the same 3-gun turrets on every ship, with the only difference between a Fubuki's NL turret and a Nagato's NL turret being the outer layer of armour. This once again aids construction and maintenance, allowing repair yards to just remove a damaged turret and install a new one from their supply of spares, without having to worry about which ship it was made for.

I think he's breaking those into "bays" so instead of a 9xLRM single bay, its 3 Bays of Triple LRMs.

Or at least that is how I'm reading it.

Lagrange - consider including SI, as it correlates so strongly with resilience?

Also, Im wondering if firepower figures are being inflated some by the massive AAA arrays that (sadly) in RAW make such brutal anti-ship armament at close range, for their tonnage.

Maybe a good idea to break that down into Capital & Standard scale brackets for better comparison.

Sadly, it mostly serves as a break on mixing capital and non-capital armaments.  You can get utterly obscene counts of standard scale weaponry, and absorb the FC mass, because standard scale weapons are so damage efficient compared to capital weapons (which are terrible in that regard)

This lead to some house ruling discussions in the Warship Race last year, which are outside our scope here, but were aimed at (drastically) decreasing the value of standard scale weapons against capital scale armor.

For Smegish, I updated the DCN breakdowns and fixed an error in my Fubuki calculations.

For marcussmythe, SI is included.  The precise way it should be included is a little bit ambiguous.  Optimistically, you could think of it as adding lots of armor to each facing, but that isn't quite right since it's a central pool and you have many more criticals once you start taking SI damage.  Instead I treated 2*SI as added to the armor _after_ grossing up the armor according to the hit table.  So, a warship with no armor would be taken as having 2*SI armor, for example.

W.r.t. standard scale weapons balance, the TCN designs use them heavily.  They are potent, but not as badly out of place as you might expect given damage/weight, at least according to the scoring rubric used here.   Partly, this is because of the significant range discount that standard weapons suffer.   Partly also the FC tonnage adds up quickly when using Naval C3.  Given the hefty cost of the smallest warship, it seems ok balancewise if they can take advantage of standard scale weapons, as per the Hammer design.  The role of standard weapons falls off significantly once you get above 500K tons.  Altogether, standard weapons on warships aren't terrible for balance in my opinion. 

The place where standard scale weapons fall apart balancewise is on ASF.  If a light carrier (<500K tons is easy) launches 200 heavy ASF each of which can inflict 5 capital damage/round, you get a piranha death swarm that can rapidly kill pretty much any warship regardless of size.  Even when you stick serious AAA weapons on a warship, you really can't build a warship that's sufficiently capable of resisting the ASF swarm.  The only defenses are being fast enough to avoid the heavy ASF (5/8 maybe, 6/9 probably, 7/11 definitely), generating your own piranha death swarm, or if they happen to get very close and you have an excessive number of screen launchers you can AoE them. 

The other absurdity here is just the damage scaling from a realism perspective.  Generally, the amount of damage that a weapon does should at least scale with the weapon.  When that doesn't happen, the weapon isn't even built.  I personally prefer the house rules discussed here since they seem both more realistic and more balanced.

For Hellraiser: W.r.t. scoring rubrics, trading off correctness of a scoring approach vs. the complexity is rather delicate as information must be lost in making a simplification.  Is the standard vs. capital scale important enough to merit the complexification?  Probably not in warship/warship combat, but plausibly yes in Warship/ASF combat.   Also, in Warship/ASF combat, the Warship missiles are not neglectable as I did here.   Anyways, if you want to take a stab at it, feel free to use the spreadsheet as a starting place.

1.)  If I had the time, an ‘expected damage by range’ chart for each weapon, worked into the ship construction spreadsheet, and with basic assumptions selectable (bracketing?  Evasive?  Etc.) would be very useful.

2.)  GDI to heck, looking at that naval rebalancing thread and then the old warship race thread has me missing that thing.  That was too much fun.  If I ever run out of other hobbies I may try to pick back up with what Alsadius did, and incorporate the lessons learned.  He already did most of the hardest work.  Of course, like the rest of us, I -MOST- wish someone -ELSE- would.

I realized doing capital-only was relatively easy, so I updated with numbers in brackets using capital only armor.  The DCN designs are the least impacted while several lighter designs end up severely crimped when discounting standard weapons (of course, if those were the rules then different designs would have been proposed...).

I also revisited my calculations around standard weapons, and I'm going to have to concur that they are unbalanced even on warships.  For example, a 5/8 1M ton ship with 150SI, Naval C3, and a Lithium Fusion battery using IS ER PPC+capacitors could close to point blank range against the vast majority of warships using screen launchers for cover and then inflict ~1400 capital damage.  That's plausibly rather unbalanced.

Yeah, the warship design challenge was quite a bit fun  :)

The treaty further breaks down WarShips into the broad categories of battleships, massing no more than 1,500,000 tons; cruisers, massing no more than 1,000,000 tons, and lesser vessels, massing no more than 500,000 tons. An additional subcategory of carrier warships is also included.

Warships have additional restrictions on their supporting units based on their classification. Battleships may not mount more than six docking collar, nor have hangar space for more than sixty aerofighters and thirty small craft. Cruisers may not mount more than four docking collars, nor may they have hangar space for more than forty aerofighters or twenty small craft. Lesser vessels are limited to two docking collars, twenty fighters, and ten small craft.

A carrier warship has the same docking collar limitation as its size category, however it may carry up to 120 aerospace fighters and thirty small craft.

In addition, all warships, dropships, and jumpships of all types are limited to a maximum battery of ten capital or subcapital missile launchers, with no more than ten missiles in the ready magazine per launcher.

WarShips currently in service with signatory powers that violate these treaty restrictions receive a five year grace period, at the end of which they must either be brought to compliance through modification or removed from service (the collar limitation will get lots of guys, but the flight deck limitation will make a Thera cry).

*Standard Jumpships are regulated by the treaty only by setting the maxiumum mass of any future designs at 300,000 tons. Any standard jumpships larger than this currently in service may be retained, and any such ships currently under construction at the time of the treaty's ratification may be completed.



Treaty limitations on fleet size:

Each major power may operate up to sixty total warships (as defined above), massing no more than 30,000,000 tons in total. In addition, each major power may field no more than ten battleship and thirty cruiser class ships, and they are entitled to six carrier class vessels from among this total.

Minor powers may operate a fleet of up to twenty total warships, massing a total of ten million tons, of which half may be cruiser class vessels and two may be carriers.


As many know the FedCom pushed heavily into mass production of just a few different models unlike their Kurita/Marik neighbors. 
The Fox was basically a "test" design to get their feet wet that would support the Army as an armed transport.  With the small #s of Warships able to be created initially the FC pushed for very durable models able to "do everything" & disregarded many of the standards that older SLDF era ships were constructed with.
Logistics were a huge problem in creating any of the FC warships & weapons were a mixed batch of types on every design.  The FWL & DC were both creating notably larger craft than the FC had on the drawing boards.  Changes were made to design plans for the Avalon & Mjolnir Class "Light" Cruisers.  The Avalon was shifted to be a Missile Cruiser with massive fuel tanks.  Designers hopped that Armor Piercing Warheads & a flotilla of Fighters & Assault Dropships would make it a match for larger foreign power ships.   Meanwhile the Mjolnir went through several revisions to increase its firepower & size till it became the largest ship produced by any IS nation.  However, it was a logistical nightmare to create or arm & designers failed to utilize Lithium Fusion batteries or sufficient cargo holds to support an invasion fleet.  The Durendal class Heavy Destroyer that was still in the design stage was shelved in order to devote all resources on the major changes in the 2 Cruisers.


The New SLDF Naval Treaty proved to be very painful for the FC as not a single design matched the new standards.  Construction was halted on all warships while designers were called into address the issue of making the FC Navy compliant with the new standards the Star League had put forth.
Plans for the Durendal were dusted off & significant changes made to create a fully new design crafted from scratch to meet treaty standards.  The Destroyer lost nearly a 1/3 of its proposed original mass which was comparable to the early Davion I & II model destroyers that the Fed Suns used 3 centuries earlier.  This new vessel would be squarely in the "Escort Destroyer" category.  Meanwhile an additional Combat Support Jumpship was also created to allow for LFB mobile fleets of dropships to accompany every Warship.

   New plans for the Fox, Avalon, & Mjolnir class vessels were drawn up.  Requirements were that the vessels would feature the same basic structure of the originals but would have a different outer shell of armor & weaponry as well as renovated cargo & crew sections.  Special emphasis was placed on creating vessels that were proper "ships of the line" able to conduct long ranged bracket fire & massed orbital fire support missions in a manner similar to the original tactics of the SLDF Navy as well as serving as command ships for Army groups & Naval flotillas.  Logistics for weaponry were streamlined to focus weaponry into a smaller # of weapon bays.  Weapons bay layouts were designed to be similar on all warships.  The Avalon underwent a 2nd series of design changes to create a Block-III variant Cruiser-Carrier to fit into treaty regulations & counter the carriers of enemy fleets.

   Using these new plans the FC Navy launched the FCNRCP  (Federated Commonwealth Naval Refit Compliance Program) which required all Block-I vessels to be refitted over a 15 year timeline to Block II standards.  Refitting was to be done at Alarion, New Syrtis, & Galax at a limited # of warship docks while new construction of newly built Block-II vessels was to start up at all other docks & shipyards. 

   Today the FC Navy boasts a full Treaty compliment of 60 Warships totaling 30 million tons, the maximum # & weight allowed by Treaty Limits.
Over half of the FC Navy is made up of the new Fox corvettes, & one quarter of those are assigned directly to Army Combat Organizations to support any offensive operation that group is assigned.  The remainder of the corvettes are organized into boarder fleet flotillas.
These boarder flotillas usually consist of a single Fox-II corvette & a pair of Chariot class Jumpships.  Attached to these ships are 6 or more Dropships per fleet & up to a several wings of Aerofighters.  While there is no fixed standard of dropships assigned to each flotilla most can call on a mix of Carrier, Assault, Marine, & Cargo ships.  A typical fleet usually encompasses a Vengeance, Overlord-A3, Mule, Avenger, Claymore, & Aurora among the ships assigned to it.  Some have a military Tug to move damaged/captured dropships.  These groups answer to March command & usually patrol along boarder regions or between major military or factory worlds.

Standard FC Naval doctrine has its remaining capital warships also being assigned Chariot jumpships to support a full dropship flotilla, but also has all major capital ships operating in pairs to support larger operations.  Each Avalon cruiser is paired up with a Durendal escort & with their quartet of Chariots can provide enough naval support for a full system invasion force.  These groups are typically stationed at major factory worlds but are able to move out in support of the army whenever needed.  Finally 6 pairs of the most powerful ships in the fleet call the original 6 March Capitals as their home ports ensuring that no invasion force will ever claim aerospace superiority over a regional command world.

So I've noticed that MML seems to have issues w/ Ammo weights v/s shot counts.

For example, when I did the mass, its 5 tons per Gauss Rifle in ammo.  40 Shots.   But the TRO print out we see is showing 960 shots as if each of the shots I assigned is a full ton, but, the tonnage matches the small 5 ton allotment I gave.

I added Hellraiser's Fedcom entry and also looked at the price tags on the warships (not including the price tags of other things).  Each major navy is just shy of 1 Trillion, except the LCN which is notably more.  (I'm not sure I have the warship count right for the SLDF.)  The minor powers are much cheaper in the 200-400 B range, although obviously still quite expensive. 

I also did a fairly significant refit of the TCN entry, mostly with an aim towards minimizing cost (by shifting docking collars and mobile HPGs to a supporting jumpship). I also managed to pack a few more capital weapons on each ship and shifted the standard weapons more towards an anti-fighter layout.

Each major navy is just shy of 1 Trillion, except the LCN which is notably more.

Its the heavy allocation of HPGs + NC3.  Rationale was the peacetime, treaty-compliant navy is mass limited (hull-count as well, but thats not the pressing limitation) but not C-Bill limited (though I dont know what national budgets are, these navy limits seem quite small compare to historic hull counts).

Based on that, it seemed to make sense to cram as much capability as possible into the peacetime hulls, and then use them as flagships/support capabilities for cheap and cheerful wartime hulls that lack the expensive (collar, HPG,NC3) systems.

Its the heavy allocation of HPGs + NC3.  Rationale was the peacetime, treaty-compliant navy is mass limited (hull-count as well, but thats not the pressing limitation) but not C-Bill limited (though I dont know what national budgets are, these navy limits seem quite small compare to historic hull counts).

Based on that, it seemed to make sense to cram as much capability as possible into the peacetime hulls, and then use them as flagships/support capabilities for cheap and cheerful wartime hulls that lack the expensive (collar, HPG,NC3) systems.

Thanks!

One of the things I like about the Warship design space is that costs matter, and things largely cost something like what they are worth, so the cost decisions are meaningful.

Others I dislike - rounding up fractional thrust and binding max SI to Thrust really constrains what you can do, because 3/5 is just sooo good compared to everything else - but thats why we changed it in that warship race (one of the better changes.  Others worked less well)
