hiya,
Hows this for a medium sized ship design (it took a little over
one hour to produce using the forthcoming ship design program, most of
the time was spent doing the design evaluation by hand).
The design program does (finally) work correctly (I hope), it just needs
a some tidying up around the edges to make it more user-friendly and
a little extra manipulation of the database.

This is basically an attempt to pack a spinal meson gun-T into a very
small ship and to then give it sufficient defences to survive for a
couple of rounds in combat. Special measures were taken to provide
maximum possible defence to incoming meson fire.
This series of ships was never intended to stay on station for extended
periods. Its primary function being to cause as much damage as possible
to enemy fleets in a combat situtation.
Would this sort of ship fit into the TML's version of Fighting Ships???
[ I spent a fair bit of time getting designs highly optimised under the
old High Guard rules and MT was too complex for that ]
