Chronos Attack Frigate

I was wondering if anyone had the stats for the Chronos from 1e Armageddon? I've lost my copy and I'm thinking about making a home-brew Chronos variant.

I think the Heavy Pulse Cannon should be upgraded, like the Raid Choice. Its always had 4 AD Rail Guns, even in when it was a Raid Choice.

Plus, 4/6/2 TL Heavy Pulse Cannons just seems far more appropriate than 2/4/2 TL Heavy Pulse Cannons and 6 AD T Rail Gun.

Then it suddenly starts to look significantly better than the Olympus.

The Olympus has less railgun range, F6,P4,S4 AD pulse cannons with less range, hull 5, only one interceptor and no AF. All it brings to compensate is 2AD missiles.

While I tend to agree that the skirmish Chronos is undergunned, in terms of balance at its priority level, it is good.
 
I think the Chronos is a nice little skirmish level ship. Good hull and can bring 2 weapons to bear in 1 arc a turn. It is not to be sniffed at.
 
doesnt stop my EA players using it. good hull, interceptors, AF, a 4AD turreted rail gun and he puts them on close blast doors permanently as hes not bothered by the pulse.
 
a lot of ships seemingly now have weapons deemed less significant than constantly closing blast doors. Personally, I still miss the raid Chronos and am not a fan of the skirmish version, but I made my concerns known before second ed came out to no avail :-( so just live with it. It's no worse than the G'Quan, the Drazi Warship, the Bimith etc. .
 
its more useful than a g'quan though ;) and more firepower in 2 skirmish chronos than in 1 raid one. with added bonus of being an init sink extra too.
