Not enough tonnage used for cargo. Weapons banks are... inaccurate. Pulsed phaser =/= Large pulser lasers.

Weapons selection has inflated crew requirements well beyond expected.

seiryuu24 · « **Reply #4 on:** 05 March 2011, 23:41:22 »

The biggest problem I have with this design is the fact that this is a 140,000 ton warship and the total number of capital weapon bays = 0. If you want to spam LPLs why not a 100,000 ton dropshi(p)?

edit: oops

NightmareSteel · « **Reply #5 on:** 06 March 2011, 02:25:00 »

Amusing spelling error (?) is amusing.

Also? Dropship doesn't K-F.

Better to fix existing design.

Well, it has the speed to get in range of its massed standard weaponry and armor to take the hits while it closes. Besides, it is not like all (or even most) official scenarios are in completely open space and with rolling mapsheets as some would have us believe. And if I were to mix tech, I'd add screen launchers just for those rare occasions :)

I think it needs some kind of launcher... Defiant had the quantum torpedoes.

NightmareSteel · « **Reply #8 on:** 09 March 2011, 05:09:07 »

Crew requirements seem higher than expected for a Defiant re-work. Any way to trim those down through alternate weapon selection?

Stormfury · « **Reply #9 on:** 09 March 2011, 05:18:41 »

It doesn't have the tonnage available to switch to (sub-) capital lasers, which would presumably be the only other option.

NightmareSteel · « **Reply #10 on:** 09 March 2011, 05:29:08 »

Nor tonnage for (sub) Cap Missiles, then? Seems to be the hazard of a safe thrust 7 warship- not much tonnage for guns.

Stormfury · « **Reply #11 on:** 09 March 2011, 06:25:25 »

Even if you swap 10 LPLs (10 Capital damage) for an NL-45 and an NL-55 (10 Capital damage) you still need 2 gunners. A bay of 14 mixed NL-45s and NL-55s for the same 70 points of damage is setting you back more gunners, 14 versus 12.

In order to get capital bays with the same damage and the same speed, I had to increase the vessel's mass more than ten times over.

As it is, due to BT's crewing requirements, even the lightest of WarShips with no weaponry will have a larger crew than the Defiant of ST.

ATN082268 · « **Reply #12 on:** 10 March 2011, 09:09:29 »

The Battletech Defiant certainly isn't a perfect crossover from Deep Space 9 but I think it does accomplish being a small, very fast warship that has a lot of short range firepower.

My problems with this design:

Armour and SI should be higher maybe SI 70 or so and armor approaching 100. The Defiant is a fast attack ship to take on the Borg so it needs to be durable. Also, the number/placement of the LPLs. Defiant (as with most ST ships) focuses on end on fire. four of those 70pt LPLs in the nose. Maybe sub-cap missiles for the Qtorps (more damage than standard Cap missiles). Maybe some NPPCs to represent phaser strips down the side. Drop the speed to 6/9 max as Defiant can be rundown by the Jem Hadar attck ships...

Even at 5/8 speed, the design is still pressed for tonnage. I can increase the durability of the design (at expense of firepower):

I still have a problem with the number and placement of the weapons. The Defiant has never been shown to 'broadside'. [digs through books]Okay...according to the DS9 Tech Manual which is written by Rick Sternbach and Herman Zimmerman, both of whom are ST production designers, the Defiant has the following features (usable in battletech):

mass = 355 000t
Armamnet: 4xPulse Phaser Cannons (mounted facing forward above and below the nacelles); 2xTorpedo Launchers (also forward firing and mounted in the nacelles); Nose heavy warhead (one-shot device equal to six standard weapons)
Ablative armour and shields
4xshuttlepods
1xShuttle craft

Soooo....

lets give it 4x70pt LPLs (pulse phasers), two of the largest Sub Cap missile launchers (Q-Torps) and a
Kraken T (the heavy Warhead).

Some people think the ship has Phaser emmiter strips on the sides despite no evidence of them. If you want to include them, have twin HPPC turrets in the forward/broad/aft sides.

Defence
Shields = screen launcher in each arc
SI = 100 (better than the average Battleship)
Armour = Maximize

Thrust = 5/8 (6/9 would be better)

1 dropsahip and 4 shuttle bays.

Can someone knock this together? Is it even doable?
