Hi Xisor,
This brings up the question about the Strongholds torps and launch bays! Are they seperate weapons? Or and 'OR' weapon?
I think the following stats are more appropriate to those in your doc:
Siege............245pts Cruiser/8, 20cm speed, 45*turns, 2 shields, 6+F/5+, 2 turrets Prow Weapons battery, 45cm, 10, Front Prow cutting beam, 15cm, Special, Front Dorsal lance silos, 60cm, 4, L/F/R Port Weapons battery, 45cm, 8, Left Starboard weapons btry, 45cm, 8, Right
NOTES: Ld 9 dropping by 1 Ld every damage point to Ld 5 when crippled (having the same rules as the Stronghold). Same Mercenary Rules, Ork rules and Celestial rules.
Notice that the Siege trades its 2 launchbays (or 4 torps) for 4 Dorsal Lances, then trades its broadside lances (2 at 60cm) for stronger broadside WB's (+2) and increased range (45cm), in addition it gains +2 Str to its prow WB's. (This all seems about right for a trade and points change).
In addition to my stats you suggest the return of the port and startboard lances and to restrict the dorsal Lances to prow only.
Garrison?????450pts Battleship/10, 15cm speed, 45* turns, 4 shields, 6+F/5+, 5 turrets Prow Weapons battery, 45cm, 14, Front Prow cutting beam 15cm, Special, Front Dorsal Torpedo Silos, 30cm, 8, ALL Dorsal Launch bays, Varies, 4, N/A Port Lance battery, 60cm, 3, Left Starboard Lance btry, 60cm, 3, Right Port Launch bays, Varies, 3, N/A Starboard Launch bays, Varies, 3, N/A
NOTES: Ld 10 dropping by 1 Ld every damage point to Ld 5 when crippled (having the same rules as the Stronghold). Same Mercenary Rules, Ork rules and Celestial rules. The Garrison gives +1 Ld to reload to all Demiurg vessels when Enemy is on special orders.
Notice that the diferences between the Garrison and the Stronghold are swaping the port and starboard (12,30cm)Wb's for (3) launcbays each side and an additional launchbay in the dorsal silos. (note that the torps should have been Str8!).
You suggest swaping a lance each side fro Srt 8 Wb's at 60cm, and allowing the broadside launchbays to launch torps as well while reducing the dorsal launchbay by 1 (which i'm against).
All in all i think your changes to the stats make these ships a little too good! (especially the Garison!).
I'll comment more later!
Cheers,
RayB
