| New Ship - Paladin Class
Well, I started this last night. An idea popped into my head and I couldn't let it go. I call it the Paladin Class. It's very similar to the Daedalus class, except that it is smaller. Think of it as a Daedalus Jr., or the Mini-Me of Daedalus's.
180-190 meters long
~170 wide
45 meters tall (from lowest to highest points, excluding antennas)
18 standard sized railguns, double barreled
4 double barrel Plasma Pulse Cannons, lite version
6 Mk. 5 Nuclear tipped long range missles
Standard Asgard Tech package
2 F-302B's in each bay (total of 4) OR 1 F-302 and 1 Mosquito Class each bay.
50 crew
Basically, this is a continuation of my theory that the SGC would start building smaller, yet more advanced, and most importantly cheaper and faster to build ships. I've already staked out a few additional names for additional ships:
U.S.S. Paladin
U.S.S. Bulldog
U.S.S. Rhino
U.S.S. Icarus (Seemed fitting since there is a Daedalus)
She's not a big ship, but she is tough. She uses the exact same power core that the Daedalus uses, and because it is smaller, it draws much less power for the engines, sub light and hyperspace window generator, shields, and ship operations. So, since she has more power reserves, she can go faster or have stronger shields than a Daedalus class.
I actually used the Daedalus and a, get this it's funny, a Klingon Bird of Prey, as inspiration. Right now, it's about 75% done. Lots of tweaking to do, and adding the small details.
