1000-ton destroyer escort

The destroyer escort is intended more for escorting ships than combat. It also can serve as a long-range scout. To allow further customization of roles, it can be fitted with two 30-ton modules (the same as those used by modular cutters).

The destroyer escort has maneuver drive-P, jump drive-P and power plant-P, giving Jump-4 and 4G acceleration. 484 tons of fuel supports the power plant for 6 weeks and one Jump-4. Eleven fuel processors are installed. Model 4/fib and Model 2/fib computers and very advanced electronics are located in the bridge. There are 23 staterooms and 2 emergency low berths, Two armouries and briefing rooms are also provided. The ship has ten hardpoints, with six triple beam laser turrets and 4 particle beam barbettes. Small craft include two 20-ton launches and one 10-ton maintenance pod in a full hanger. Two 30-ton modular sockets are installed. The ship is equipped with repair drones and 5 probe drones. Cargo capacity is 30.6 tons. The ship is streamlined, has stealth and has armor 4.

Crew consists of a commander, first officer, 3 pilots, navigator, medic, 3 engineers, 10 gunners, 5 small craft crew and 10 marines. The ship costs MCr 684.343 with munitions and small craft.

Looks interesting. Could you please put it into CT HG USP?

My only point would be given this is a Destroyer Escort.. and its job is to be anti-fighter cover.. and anti-missile cover why no Sandcasters? Laser are ok.. but how are they arranged.. as one battery or two? Also why PA's.. a PA in turret is actually lower factor than a Fusion gun double.. and thus give more killing power against fighter and smaller ships that would harass the ships Escorts are protecting.

I'm afraid he uses MgT design system, not CT. While it could probably be converted to CT:HG, as you hint, some things would not have much sense, as the use of PA barbette, that in CT are of limited use, while in MgT arequite powerful.

Additionally, in CT (and GT) bays cost more than one hardpoint.
