Hmm... not sure if thats a threat or a complement...

Aww crap, another Saucerhead...

Gah.

Doesn't seem too bad, aside from the design and Treknology.

The New Paradigm is Weyr's generic battle platform. Weyr would need to use four new Paradigm cruisers to take on a Dauntless. There's no real fighter complement on the Dauntless, and no real anti-parasite weapons, so Weyr would use parasites tro combat the Dauntless. It looks pretty good, although I have no idea what the weapons are.....

For reference: an ISD has an overall Average+ rating. An SSD has a High overall rating.

(Yes, I'm a Star Trek fan. I have mostly been using Star Wars tech, but I'm using both now.

But, thanks.)

I see.

The Imperium also uses ISDs and SSDs.

What do you mean by using parasites to combat it? How so? Just wondering.
