USS Falmouth Design

[GMunoz]

Well I am having a bit of a delima here.
 The ship is most definatley balanced for the pre-TNG era as far as hull, shields, systems and weapon's strengths but despite already tweaking her down twice already I can still take out a Galaxy class with the Falmouth.  The shear number of weapons just overwhelms the opponent. If you hit with a full torpedo volly it will obliterate whichever shield face it impacts.

This one definatley fits the classification of a true battle cruiser.

Reminds me of an old Akira pic I made hehe

why not weaken the torp damage, to something like 200, and the tubes should have varying reload, like the ones on the neck, and the main aft ones should have a faster reload, and the ones on the nacelles, and pylons should have a slower reload also it's phasers should not be anywhere as strong as the ambassador, the larger the array, the more emitters, the more emitters, the stronger. theses small arrays don't have the amount the ambassador has. Also a short burst would be nice, may be more balanced

[GMunoz]

Ok,  think I have her balanced pretty good.

Anyone interested in Beta testing?

[deadthunder2_0]

i will test

[GMunoz]

Thanks deadthunder, I e-mailed you the ship.

anyone else?

[Lionus]

I'm interested

Okay, gave her a run. She was evenly matched with KM beta's Ferengi Marauder, but Keldon wiped the floor with her. I'd say that the HP is spot on, she is agile and has good phaser coverage. Torps could use bit more tracking ability, they usually missed.

[deadthunder2_0]

it works fine, it's torps are a little strong, and they need better tracking, but that is all i see wrong

[GMunoz]

Thanks for Testing!

Torps are the standard TMP Torps which have a damage 0f 500, as oposed to the LC Ambassador which has a photon strength of 850.  I don't think I can make them any weaker and keep it balanced for the era.   I will improve the tracking a bit and give it it's own dedicated torp.
