Dunno, maybe I am missing something.

Negative, no base class hull. Heavy (Corvette) class hull. Has the 50% reduction on nan effectiveness, and 300% bonus with dis against it.

It was my intention that it could use the MBC to shoot light and medium bases, like galv's, and have MBC do light damage to major base hull. That can be removed or modified at whim though.

Doah, I see what you were thinking. I said Hull: 2k Base. I meant before modifiers, like almost all factions have a 0.95-0.90 factional modifier on hull, and those are actually viewed as "Normal" ranges.

Double post, please delete.

If possible, you may want to consider having it only able to undock from garrison, or garrison/shipyards.

How about a ship that can mount 4 Galvs and 7 LRM Killers per slot.

The ship could cost $500

The reson I say galvs is they are better than disruptors against medium and heavy and because its $500 it wouldnt be as good for anti base as a bomber but more suited for anti cap ship and gunships/bombers.

BTW, you can only select preset damage types and hull classes. (As far as I know)
If you decide to use custom weapons, try and find the damage class that suits you, preferably the same as a disruptor for what you need it for

What is the speed, hull, acceleration, agility, turn rate? 4 galvs and killer missiles sound too powerful unless the other areas are weak to make up for it.

Its not that powerful, is it?

It would only be effective against capital ships and bombers

Assuming that your ship is a fighter, it would be able to inflict more damage on ints, bombers and capships then a TF bomber with no turrets plus avoid enemies better with faster speed, better accel and a smaller hitbox. I think an ultimate dogfighting, med base destroying, capship and bomber stopping thing would surely cost over 500 credits.

I was thinking a ship with the same design as a gunboat with 4 galvs and 7 killer missile clips would work as this specialized anticapital ship hes talking about...

To keep it from being overused for general use, it would have alot of wieght in the turning to make it very difficult to hit a fast moving target.
