GUARDIAN-CLASS (TL12) ORBITAL BATTLE STATION

CraftlD: Orbital Battle Station, TL12, MCr21
Hull: 901225, Disp = 120, Config. = 4, Armor = 40F
Power: 1 /2, Fusion = 6 Mw, Duration 120/360
Commo: Radio = Planetary, datalink only
Sensors: Active EMS = Planetary
Off: Missile = x09
                      Batt 1
                     Bear 1
Computer: 1 x 1
Other: Fuel = 120 klloiters, ObjSize = Small, EMLevel = faint

     The Guardian-class orbital battle station is armed with a 100-ton missile bay containing two battery rounds of UCP Factor-9 nuclear missiles. Once activated in orbit, it automatically acquires and fires upon shipping that does not respond to the correct pre-programmed transponder code. It is easily and cheaply mass produced as a last line of defense in low orbit.

My question about the 100-ton bay stems from the CT requirement that a ship can have 1 bay per 1,000 tons of hull which I thought was the same in MT. Searching my PDF copy of the Referee's manual I did not locate a similar requirement.

However, the MT: Referee's Manual requires 10 hardpoints to mount a bay.

A 120 displacement ton hull does not have 10 hardpoints to mount a 100-ton bay.

Hopefully you or someone else can figure out what I'm not getting.

Thank you for the question and hopefully the material provided will provide the information needed to solve the possible issue.

What’s the specs on everything else? The battle station might be built around it, instead of the usual procedure.

Hello all,

I've run into a bit of a problem with Guardian-Class Orbital Battle Station on MT: COACC p. 93.

In the Other block of the Specification sheet the battle station has a 100-ton missile bay.

Unfortunately, the Hull block has Disp = 120 displacement tons.

Can anyone suggest a solution otherwise the Battle Station has to be really reworked>
