Darkness Rising a Bit of Minbari for a change

[Da Boss]

Hi my latest madness playing with ideas for Minbari attack ships.............

enjoy (or not )

Tarath Class Attack Ship (Patrol)
Designed to act as either a hidden escort or in conjunction with fighters as a devastating swarm attack. This new class of ship is intended to be carried aboard the Sukarin. Great things are expected of these weapon platforms, especially against the new EA Shadow Stars.
Speed: 12 Turns: 2/90
Hull: 4 Damage: 6/1
Crew: 8/2 Troops: -
Craft: None
Special Rules: Agile, Flight Computer, Stealth 5+,
In Service: 2260+

Weapon Range Arc AD Special
Fusion Strike Cannon 12 F 4 Mini-Beam, Precise

Special Rules: Unless bought separately, Tarath’s are carried by the Sukarin Assault Carrier, no carried ships may start deployed with the rest of the fleet but may be launched as though they were fighters.

I like the kitbash. The stats Im afraid though are broken beyond belief for a patrol ship! 4 AD Minibeam is nasty enough for a patrol level ship but PRECICE?!?!

Also stealth 5 is a tad too good also. Id say, drop precice, maybe twin link it or give it a 5th AD (but probably not necessary), give it advanced antifighter 1, increase its damage to 8/3, and drop stealth to 4+. That would be about right in my eyes.

EDIT: just realised these are for your alternate universe thing... they might be ok then for that but definitely overpowered if used vs standard fleets.

thanks - still playing with ideas at present

Need to compare it to the torotha.

In theory this should be as good as half a torotha (probably should be less as you also get an activation, but I see no evidence of this in the game). The Torotha has similar stealth and eight dice of mini beam as well as a 4 ad dd precise weapon. Not sure how you could go with less than the four dice he has and make it a viable choice.

Just a thought given current standards...
