Subject: TL-15 BB (BattleRider design)

TL-15 100,000ton BB

Spherical Hull (almost--slightly squared on the back)
Armor	500
Jump	3
Man.	6g
Fuel for 50 gturns + jump 3 (94.8 w jump fuel)
Powerplant (PP) for Mdrive
Life support, quarters, etc.

All of this takes up 75,000 tons or so.

Sensors (listed in BR specs):

	AEMS 16
	Jam. 16
	PEMS 6(8)    (6 all the time, and a folding shortrange 8 array)
	EMM Msk
	Various other sensors (densitometer, ladars, etc)
	
Commo:
	1000AU maser, radio, etc.

I gave myself these out of the 7211 tons left over (all the sensors'd fit in
something like 15 tons)

Weapons:

	1xTL-15 22,500MJ Meson Gun (PP vol. included)		5,000 tons

		BR stat: M(-2)6:12-10-7-4
	
	8xTL-15 8,100MJ NPAW (PP vol. inc.)			1,500 tons
		
		BR stat: P(x2-2)10:9

	100xTL-15 50 ton Missile Bay (w/MFDs, PP vol.)		5,000 tons

		BR stat: M:3600(3600)

	140xTL-15 700MJ Laser Bay (w/MFDs,& PP for rof=800)	4,375 tons

		BR stat: L(x35-5)10:2	

	1200xTL-15 16MJ Laser turret (rof=800, PP vol inc.)	1,800 tons	

		BR stat: L(x300-5)10:0   (BL damage is 10-1/3)

Defensive systems:

	200xTL-15 Sandcaster turrets				600 tons

		BR stat: SC:50

	1xTL-15 PV=15 Meson Screen (PP vol. inc.)		5,514 tons


The remaining volume is for ships boats, and slop.


This isn't all that tight a design.  It would be safe to add about 5 gturns to
this guy (a few more if the mdrive is a fusion rocket).  It could be jump 4, but
it's really tight (only 1211 tons left as slop).


Here it is as a BR counter:

	BB Alkhalikoi-1

M(-2)6:12-10-7-4		-4
P(x2-2)10:9			TL-15
L(x35-5)10:2			FC:-6
L(x300-5)10:0		M:3600(3600)
A:16 P:6(8) J:16 Msk	(SP) 	J3 G6
AV:10 AuxB			*		*(misc small craft)
MS:15 SC:50			150



Whatcha think?
