[Author]I expect this will be the shortest of my technical threads for my fanfic as I only have four Warship designs I will eventually put up here, an ASF design, and that will probably be everything else as nothing else will really matter. Well okay I'll toss a bonus design for my first entry.
Man I designed some weird Warships back in the day. I may circle back to my AU that spawned these someday and fix the introdate accordingly but I've left them at 3145 in the files for now for simplicity in dealing with MegaMekLab.[/Author]
The
Gem series of light cruisers were born as a dream to have an easily modifiable Warship that could be quickly and easily refit for a variety of tasks for the Amegis Compact Admiralty.
To an extent what came out the other end of the boards and political oversight groups was surprisingly capable.
Three sub classes emerged.
Diamond as independent defense of spaceborne assets and colonies.
The
Emerald which saw primary service as fleet escort,
For raiding was the
Ruby.
Of particular note was the
ACNS Exeter which was being converted to a
Ruby design standard but was halted partway due to escalating conflicts creating a surprisingly popular 4th subclass to which
ACNS Enterprize was also refitted to. She saw her first action supporting the rebelions in the coreward colony region of the Terran Dominion which would successfully break away to form the Corporate Sector due to it's concentration of businesses trying to avoid Terran Dominion nationalization.
