Methinks tha FRAX are very cool and I was wondering if they have Tugs, Bases, Freighters or stuff like that. I know they are a simulator race, but what about a simulation of attacking a BATS or a Tug?
I'll be getting Module C4 so if they are there just tell me.

C4 has Frax Tugs (they use Klingon Pods, suprise suprise).

CL27 has DNL, CF, DNH, and CVP for them also.

I don't think Frax bases would be all that exciting. Same arcs as everyone else. Still, would at least have ... what are those things called.... AFDs? The gat/ADD.

I mean Frax as in FRAX subs with Axion Torpedoes and Heavy Ballistic Missiles. Maybe they could have cloaks like the SFC 2 Orion BATS. (Those are so impossible!)

Hm, yeah, those would be cool. Pain in the butt to fight against, though.

Exactly the point! Maybe not with cloaks, but definitely with Heavy Ballistic Missiles, Midget Subs, Axion Torpedoes, and Missiles.

Frax are examples of old wet navy ships. Maybe a base should be designed with the idea of a fortress in mind.

What about a base that has a big weapons module that can shift facing. Sort of a huge pod on a track with say, 8 Torps and 8 Ph-IV. It moves from one position to the center that back out to a new possition so that it can always augment the fire towards the enemy.

Of course this breaks down when the base is surounded. Each outer pod would still have its own Ph-1 and Ph3 and AFD but all the heavy weapons would be on the pod.

[edit] oh ya, and it would bring with it its own shields. And probably does NOT rotate.

I might have to whip up an SSD for that. It'll take me a few days to get to it but I'll get Mike Raper to post it when it's done.

Great Idea.
Make sure to include Midget Subs.
