We already have the little AC,which does the same job for almost half the price.

I don't see there being a problem with running the DHD under FC. I would think that changing the movement ratio from 2/3 to 3/4;drone rack ammo to 2 drones;removing sensor and scanner tracks from the SSD would be enough to change it from SFB to FC.

Ok,so it's not in the historical record as far as ...

The DHD:-

This to my mind is more akin to what an upgraded DD should look like. It suffers from some glaring limitations over the HDD,(power and fire arcs),though it does have a nice touch in that the rear Ph-1's can fire 'cross decks so to speak. Her side Ph-1's have the rather horrible LF/L,RF/R ...

We now turn our attention to the two heavyweights of the Destroyer world,the HDD and the slightly lighter DHD.

The HDD,whilst looking great on paper,is nothing more than an NCL in sheeps clothing. Having 31 pwr,she is short only 1 pwr over the NCL; she has 2 extra PH-1's and an extra drone rack ...

Thoughts on the experimental DD's

There are three DD's that i wish to touch on here,they are,the HDD;DHD & DDF. Of these three,the one which lacks any real definition is the DDF,which I will look at first.

DDF:- I cannot remember just whose design this was,though I think that it may have been one of Jeremy's creations(SWO Daddy ...

For my next trick,well conversion anyway,I'm going to try the little Deckhouse Destroyer,but before I do,there are a couple of pertinant questions that need to be answered first.


a)What height is the deckhouse,i.e. is it higher than the bridge dome.

b)Going by the illustration,the deckhouse ...

I tried 'weathering' the ship,but I'm not too pleased with the result.(Shaky hand syndrome)

Now I really cheated. I'm using the sensor hole to mount the ship, so I thought that the best way to make a sensor dish,was to glue it to ...

I took a tug hull,you could use a complete DD,added a spare 15pt engine,cut and fitted two small warp struts,and made two 6pt engines(16mm long). The ship has been put together,though I've still to do the engine detail,but it'll show you what she'll look like.
As you can see from the time stamps ...
