The Solos Cruiser
This Twassecc ship was created to fill an absent role in the fleet. The fleet possessed massive cruisers, and miniscule fighters, but nothing in between. (Save the missile frigate.) The Admiral wanted a light cruiser that could strike fast and effectively, then retreat easily. The solos is just that. At just shy of half a mile long, the Solos is rather small. However, it is one of the most effective anti fighter ships currently known about. It possesses three rotating turrets, each laden with 16 individually aiming AA-1B turrets. This, combined with the battery of 112 forward AF lasers, allows it to shoot down fighters with ease.
Stats:
Length: 2500 feet
Width: 1900 feet
Height: 2100 feet
Speed: Fast (Think Kustmok speed.)
Armament: 112 forward lasers, three heavy forward AC cannons, 48 AA-1B turrets on rotating pedestels, 3 AA-1B-M turrets.
Advantages: The Solos can catch up to most fighters, fire upon multitudes of them, eliminate them quickly, then fly away at great speeds. Also, the Solos is much cheaper manufactured than other ships, and some Solos are actually for individual sale as the only cruisers available to a single person rather than a faction.
Disadvantages: While three forward AC cannons were installed to help it defend itself, the Solos is physically weak for a cruiser and falls to heavy weapons very quickly. Even the AC cannons cannot hurt most of the larger cruisers.
