I've decided to skip ahead to the top of the foodchain of the warships for my pocket empires campaign. Unlike the earlier designs, this is still in progress as I am not sure what HG capital ship rules I will change or ignore.
6,000-ton dreadnought
The dreadnought is capable of 4G acceleration, jump-3 and has a factor 5 power plant. Fuel tankage of 2,330 tons supports one jump-3 and 6 weeks of operation. Fifty tons of fuel are reserved for the small craft. The bridge and fleet command bridge has holographic controls and is hardened, with three Model 7/fib computers. Electronics include military countermeasures, enhanced signal processing and a distributed array. There are 115 staterooms and 20 low berths. Five briefing rooms, 4 armouries, 4 laboratories and a library are also provided. The ship has 60 hardpoints, with two large meson gun bays, two large particle beam bays, 26 particle beam barbettes, 20 triple beam laser turrets and 10 particle beam turrets. Three meson screens and three nuclear dampers are installed. The ship has stealth and armor 15. Armoured bulkheads protect the drives, armaments and bridges. The ship's small craft include, in full hangars, five 30-ton ship's boats, four 20-ton multi-role fighters, and six 10-ton maintenance pods. Cargo capacity is 119 tons.
Crew is a captain, first officer, 3 pilots, 3 navigators, 6 engineers, 72 gunners/screen operators, 4 medics, 4 fighter crew, 16 boat crew, 15 flight mechanics, 20 marines, 4 scientists. The extra staterooms are used for an admiral and his staff (when the dreadnought serves as a flagship). The ship costs MCr 4,948.75.
