Kluxer Klass Kruiser (3K-04)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/ComMiss/Cruiser.jpg

In response to the recent threats to Commonwealth territories, the Navarre Naval Yards were asked to design and build a ship that would be fast, light, easy to mass produce, well-armed, and easy to maintain. The ship would primarily be for service in the Commonwealth navies. The original plans were drawn up over a period of three months and after many more weeks of arguing over issues varying from the designation name, to the armaments, to the power plant, the design of the 3K-04 was finally agreed upon. The ship would be intended primarily for use as a convoy escort and blockade runner. It would have weapons and combat systems very similar to the Curtis Fabus Battleships, yet the number and size of these weapons would be greatly scaled down. The engineers nicknamed it, “Curtis junior”.

Purely as a matter of interest, it's knots, not knots per hour.

Lolzorz. 'Tis a nice cruiser and well designed, but as I said on MSN I make rather a lot of naval stuff myself.

1 billion is too cheap for a battlecruiser of 25,000 tons. Mine are around 2 billion and that is stretching to very cheap

Price bumped. Thanks. :D

[A battlecruiser isn't 25,000 tons, that's a large Destroyer or Light Cruiser. Most BCs are in the 40,000-50,000 range.]

Actually, 25,000 can be a battlecruiser. A light one. To be honest weight means little and it can be pretty much anything. I should say its armed like a heavy cruiser or a light battlecruiser....

And I didnt realise that there was also a Navarre Naval Yards in CM too.

Yes, which is why it's "Kluxer Klass Kruiser" (3K-04)

Weight increased.
