3000t Vargr Warship

[kevinknight]

Please look over this ship I've designed using the new High Guard rules. Hopefully no grievous errors. It's intention is to be a Vargr warship the player's encounter while refueling at a gas giant during the Fifth Frontier War.

As 2e High Guard hasn't actually been published yet, this should probably be in the High Guard Playtest forum.

I've got to admit I'm very curious about what, exactly, your PCs are packing the way of ship(s) if an encounter with a 3,000-ton destroyer with ten small particle bays and ten missile barbettes is anything resembling a level-appropriate/fair one.

The playtest section for High Guard has been removed.

I was going to but it's gone now... If the player's decide to just do a stand up duke it out fight with this ship they will probably lose (the vessel will be damaged); even though their ship is superior technologically, it's only one fifth the size. The campaign has been running for 5+ game years now, 2 and a half years real life. The ship they've been issued by the Imperial Navy is a raider/anti-raider. A TL16 experimental craft, 600 tons, with 16 armor, MD 9, armed with 4 triple particle beams, 1 small meson bay, 1 small missile bay...

I can't see any major problems after a cursory check.

The Jump Drive should be 230 dT = 3000 * 7,5% + 5. You should always add 5 dT to the Jump Drive as noted on HG, p12.

I might suggest skipping the Sandcasters, they only work against Lasers, and you have enough armour to not be very afraid of Lasers. Instead I would use Pulse Laser turrets, to get some missile defence and usable secondary armament.

Ok, thanks. Fixed the jump drive and changed the weapon load out.
