Again, I am forwarding this for Steve Higginbotham.....
The Sikkintar (Flying Knife) class SDB/Battlerider was developed privately by
Vospor/Trin as a vessel which could be used as the riders on the new "Norway"
class Battleship or as a SDB filling the requirements for the X-1111 heavy SDB
as specified by the Trin System Defense Squadron.
As is obvious from the spec sheet, this vessel is designed to fit a large meson
gun on the smallest platform that the requisite defenses could be fitted to.
Basic design assumption was that a spinal mount meson gun was worth more than
ANY possible combination of secondary weapons in a general fleet action. The
Sikkintar was intended to put more spinal mounts out per MCr than was feasible
using alternate design philosophies.
Note also that the basic concept could be (and is being) upgraded to include a
meson gun-T by increasing the tonnage to 9000, and scaling up whatever needs to
be scaled up.
Note that this ship is designed using standard MT rules (plus any good idea that
came across the TML), not our house rules. Note that the original design used
last edition High Guard, which made the design much easier.
