EA Third Age missile boats?

[Tankdriver]

Does the EA Third Age list have a missile boat? The Sagittarius is only in the Early Years and the Apollo only appears on the Crusade list. Even the Hyperion MC is only Early Years.

I think the closest you have, are the Hermes, and Oracles. Other than that, off the top of my head, you dont have any during that Era

 

[Tankdriver]

That's what I thought

No dedicated missile ships, but several EA Third Age ships carry missiles. The Olympus has them, for one, and the Warlock.

Missiles are an EA trademark (despite never seeing them in the show) so I think 3rd Age should get some sort of dedicated missile platform (ie another EA ship ---GASP!!)

They're seen in the battle for Earth. The defence satellites fire missiles at Sheridan's rebel fleet.

 

[prelude_to_war]

Good point. 3rd Age missile cruiser please!

 

[Davesaint]

3rd age has the Olympus, Hermes, and the Oracle. They really don't need anything more than that. :wink:

Those are'nt missile cruisers, they are ships with missiles pods (a limited number at that too)

 

[Lord David the Denied]

A dedicated missile ship would have been seen, I reckon, during the civil war. Guided missiles would have been mighty handy against those nippy White Stars.

Maybe you should ask timeslip about that. :wink:

[Tankdriver]

OK, I really like the EA , but it does not need another ship. Just make one of the Early Years missile ships a third age, like the Sag for example.

 

[Target]

I was actually a little suprised that the Sag wasn't in the 3rd Age fleet.

They got boned by the Minbari

 

[pwrserge]

Given that it was a sizable portion of the fleet before the Minbari war, there is no reason why they would not rebuild them. In fact, it would make sense that such light warships would be among the first to be replaced in the scramble to rebuild Earth Force.

some of the fluff says that logistical issues saw the decline of missile and railgun ships.
However then we get the Chronos, Warlock and Apollo!

Obviously one of the great new technologies between the Third Age and Crusade was logistics. Someone figured out how to get missles where they need to be more easily.

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Maybe they finally replaced the Hermes transports the Minbari destroyed... :wink:
