(50R.3.0) THE ROMAN WAR MACHINE
ROMAN WAR MACHINE SHIPS
(50R3.1) HEAVY CRUISER (CA):
The mainstay for the Roman War Machine. The Roman Heavy Cruiser was proficient in battle, possessing four offensive Wide Phasers and two defensive Wide Phasers, all of which could fire forward. Twin Tachyon Guns could also fire forward, but each could fire off to the side as well. Overall, the Roman Heavy Cruiser was well designed with sufficient power, an acceptable turn mode, laboratories for scientific investigation, two shuttles, and strong shields.
DESIGNER NOTES:
The Roman Heavy Cruiser is exactly Half of the Maesron Heavy Cruiser. Decisions had to made regarding its systems, particularly its Tachyon Missiles and Warp Engines (due to Omega CA’s starting off with less than 30 Warp). Interestingly, the Roman Heavy Cruiser is one of the most powerful starships thus far in Sector 50, mainly due to its ability to focus all of its (Wide) Phasers and Tachyon Guns to the bow of the vessel. The Roman Heavy Cruiser can potentially generate an Alpha Strike greater than any other Sector 50 Heavy Cruiser (so far).
