A. Military rear area personnel need some form of self defence.

B. Unlike ground forces, naval personnel tend to be somewhat cocooned, and if their inner defences are breached or penetrated, it tends to be too late.

C. Due to the architecture of their spacecrafts and bases, range is going to be somewhat closeish.

D. A large scale breach would be detected, and presumably, the Marine contingent would isolate the assailants, and eliminate them.

E. Infiltration or a small scale breach would likely be achieved by a much smaller number, team or squad size, and take longer to be detected.

F. What you need is a weapon that would incentivize the infiltrators to remain at a polite distance, with enough ammunition to make it stick, while reinforcements and/or security personnel are inbound.

G. Handgun receiver ammunition capacity in relationship to an assault one, you can pretty much cut it in half.

H. A scaled down version of an Advanced Snub Submachinegun would have total a sixteen round capacity, and a twenty four round extended magazine.

I. To keep it exclusive, the ammunition could be caseless.

J. An additional benefit would be that hot cases wouldn't be floating around in zero gravity.

K. Civilians would think twice before purchasing a gun with a higher cost of ownership.

L. Looking at the Confederation Navy's Officer's Revolver, prized at sixteen hundred starbux, harkens back to six hundred buck hammers.

M. Technological level twelve improved a medium handgun to twenty five metres range, an extra point of damage, arguably one and one fifth kilogrammes, though

N. Cost of the bullet appears to have doubled.

O. Even with advanced projectile weapon of one hundred twenty five percent range, likely the barrel is customized to some point between handgun (twenty percent) and assault (fifty percent) barrels, so the weight of the customized barrel would be based on twenty four percent of the handgun receiver, and sixteen percent Plus of the cost.

P. Quickdraw might be three.

Q. Caseless ammunition costs triple, though it eliminates a number of moving parts, including supposedly the ejection port.

R. Presumably, stuck bullets are a very rare event.

S. We'll assume that economies of scale kick in, with caseless ammunition prepacked into closed magazines.

T. It's why I think that if caseless rounds are designed for revolvers, they'd resemble Minie Balls with a hollowed out rear.

U. Specialized ammunition may be contained in smaller magazines, which would require ejecting whatever is currently occupying the magazine well, though you may have two of them to accommodate different types of ammunition.

V. Ammunition for Advanced Snub Submachineguns are going to be in three types of magazines, half/sixteen, standard/thirty two and extended/forty eight.

W. They're not meant to be compatible to any other manufactured snub weaponry.

X. Mostly mechanical, rather than electronic, so no electric trigger.

Y. On the other hand, ammunition capacity one hundred fifty percent, plus high capacity one hundred fifty percent would be sixteen.

Z. A half magazine from the Advanced Snub submachinegun might double as a standard magazine for an Advanced Snub Automatic Pistol, which probably has an extended magazine of twenty four, but not a smaller magazine.

1. Cleaned up the tables and corrected some of the numbers.

2. The Harrier could have supported upto three fixed mounted torpedo tubes, as it's implied it only had two because one tonne wasn't enough.

3. I'd guess a torpedo tube is at most half a tonne.

4. Next question would be, is it embedded or can it be reloaded internally?

5. I think that at half a tone, that's barebones, without reloading equipment.

6. The torpedo tube could, and would, act as an airlock, with fire control connectors.

7. Manual reloading is probably possible, with a lot of chains and pulleys.

8. Though you could share that between the three torpedo tubes.

9. By tradition, you can place your bunk on the (reload) torpedoes.

Confederation Navy: Missile Doctrine

1. If you assume that torpedoes are just larger versions.

2. Confederation Navy missiles have a reputation for inaccuracy.

3. This is partially true, since half of the inventory are budget versions.

4. The point being to overwhelm point defence, and letting the cheap ones get shredded first.

5. The CoCoMisTer is a fairly recent development, post bellum, but widely adopted.

6. The Confederation Navy prefers to hit hard with torpedoes, but not all targets are worthy of these, and cost per munition did play some part in developing an all in one weapons system.

7. Capacity as well, as one torpedo takes up the same volume as four missiles, the advantage being, that they can share the same magazine.

8. The Mark/Thirteen advanced torpedo is the preferred choice for most commanders, against two kilotonne plus targets, and especially six kilotonne plus hulls, especially combined with technological level fifteen fire control.

9. The Mark/Fifteen advanced torpedo is issued to Confederation Navy and allied combat craft with technological level fourteen and below fire control.

Confederation Navy: Missile Doctrine

A. For space combat, the preference is for an initial engagement with advanced and anti radiation torpedoes.

B. The high acceleration is to ensure minimum reaction time, and the unlikelihood that the target can outrun it.

C. The anti radiation torpedoes would be targetted at sub two kilotonne targets.

D. The plasma torpedoes tend to be restricted to high value targets with heavy armour.

E. Range would be restricted to within long, and less.

F. Again, it's a matter to minimize the target's window to react.

Confederation Navy: Missile Doctrine

G. So I'm reading Shadow of the Storm.

H. And I'm thinking, Christ, a Veto button held by the Political Commissar.

I. Undoubtedly, there's going to be a considerable higher percentage of those listed as battle casualties, with a temporary break in the communications network, and the onboard surveillance servers mysteriously destroyed.

J. Anyway, I think I see a reference to Heavy Missiles.

K. Pointless, if you have plasma torpedoes.

 

[wingsday]

Yeah, I feel like heavy missiles only really make sense if you give them like, a bay level damage multiplier and substantial resistance to point defense, and probably to all be long range, could be an interesting drone platform maybe? You can pretty much get everything you could want on a torp drone as it is, and tbh the missiles aren't bad you just can't expect to be able to use them in atmosphere. I dunno what else you'd really want. A drone controller for handling it's own missile/torp swarm? Infinite endurance? A bunch of armor?? Some weapon systems(for what)? Some vehicle components(the only ones that really make any sense are like sensors(maybe), meson communicator, fusion plant and ecm)?
Something I've been thinking about is loading up mines into the gp mass driver from the companion update, either for bombardment (can run the mines on silent so they're cold all the way in), or just as a way to give yr torps a bit more reach if you have to in a straight up fight

 

[Condottiere]

I also got hold of Robots, so we'll see how that works out with equivalent missile and torpedo configurations, or larger.

If torpedoes halves the effectiveness of point defence, something that requires five tonnes and two hardpoints, which is about the minimum spacecraft hull volume, probably needs turret weapons.

 

[Condottiere]

Action seems rather dogfight mode, and raises the question, is there a minimum range for missiles?

 

[Condottiere]

Corvette Three suddenly ceased to exist, her super-charged jump drive overloaded by laser energy hitting her hull grid.

Hull grid?

 

[wingsday]

Oh yeah, I was going to try and stay out some mines and see how that goes

 

[Condottiere]

If they're substituting the CoCoMisTer for their regular triple turret missile launcher, they have to find another three tonnes.

 

[Condottiere]

The thing about the Singapore gambit was, that the Germans were inconsiderate enough to kick off the war three years too early, something which Chamberlain had gambled on.

The British military machine was supposed to peak in Nineteen Forty Two, with new classes of carriers and battleships commissioned, and more classes under construction. And we'll assume that the French would have identified and rectified their tactical and strategic shortcomings, which means they retain control of French Indochina.

Africa and Europe sucked away the best and brightest, as someone in command less dim would have figured out you need to fortify the latter third of the Malayan peninsula to protect Singapore, which should be a hotbed of (long range) submarine flotillas.
