[X] Torpedo Launcher (Prototype), Type-6 Torpedoes (Prototype) (Experimental)

If the new torps don't work, then we can always switch back to normal torps until they are ready

You cannot! They're a different torpedo casing that are incompatible with current launchers. Same size, different internals that need charging/fuelling/etc. Price you pay for better photons/quantums/higher variable yields.

Well then that settles it, I think.

Quantum torpedoes are such a big step forward in offensive capability that I don't think we can afford to not them on a future combatant like this, honestly.

I'm interested to see how this new launcher is going to fit on the ventral side of the Saber's saucer, 'cause the best I can think of is it sitting at an angle so it's not getting in the way of the deflector.

High maneuverability should let us keep the firing arc on the enemy so let sgive it a shot.

    The new torpedo launcher is primarily internal, with the torpedo bay and majority of the loading mechanism nestled into decks 7 and 8. Only the launcher itself and a protective hull blister actually protrude from the saucer section, allowing the deflector its needed line of sight towards the bow. Hopefully the increased firepower will make up for the internal space losses, because you haven't been left much to work with.

    You have space for two small modules, and given that one of them almost certainly needs to be a cargo bay that just leaves one space free after all is said and done. You could add a second cargo bay to really focus on the idea that this is a design intended for servicing the Federation interior and rapid-reaction forces, or diversify into a more optimistically outfitted ship with some science labs for border work.

    • Ok. Cargo bay gives us better endurance and carry room for high value low bulk items.

    Science would let us poke things a bit more safely.


    While I LIKE Science being able to carry more supplies, torp casing and the like is probably better for a purpose built war ship.


    Also this lil guy is TINY. Like holy moly is he small.
