Baaad Vala. Anyways, I've settled on a "CHV" designation for the QJE. Stands for "cruiser, heavy, carrier". She does have a relatively large and well protected ventral hangar bay. I'll implement the full point defense grid later tonight, finalise the missile loadout and hopefully have a beta version out by this week. |

How many squads of fighters will she carry in all? How does her maneuverability stand up against the HGN's LiirHra? and would the out come of a PoH vs. QJE be decisive for the QJE? Oh and one other thing how will the QJE stand up against the Battlestar? Now, to see which ones are answered  Ty for any answers. "No expantion without equilibrium.

Well I replied here last night with a rather large post, but alas i sent a private message before posting the reply and rather cleverly lost the entire post. I suspect that the QJE would in a direct confrontation with a POH class ship would lose my a narrow margin, The Prince is a battleship class BS traditionally being focused on armour and firepower, despite being outdated in the present operating environment its still very capable against its smaller rivals. The Al Mou'Akar is a battle cruiser / carrier designation, traditionally such designations focused on bringing BS class firepower into a battle, but focused on speed and agility at expense of armour. I suspect the Al Mou'Akar similar battlefield firepower influence of the hand of winter/sorceress III coupled with greater armour, and agility/speed somewhere between a the sorceress and the Vaygr DDG A clever commander would never let a direct confrontation take place with a battleship and a heavy cruiser, the heavy cruiser takes advantage of its speed and places itself where the battleships are not . . . or in a fire support position. The Battlestar when fully gunned would lay waste to a cruiser sized ship if it could ever catch it . . . but in its current state it has no CIWS at all. . . . i don?t expect to see the BBX in operation till the current rung of ships are taken care off the BBX has a lower priority atm as its more of a 'hero' ship so to speak I just had a chat to Tel, seems the Liir Hra is being phased out with the new replacement being the CLX as seen in the header graphic up there, I do hope the QJE can dock corvettes, then my QJE CTA wolf packs will be wandering around independently and i can at least pretend that I?m playing as the taiidan  I now thoroughly expect to get schooled in military facts should anything i have said been incorrect He whoms hand pimps what is . . .

Model is now 100% operational. Weapons outfit 75% complete. Lithium ion cannons successfully tested despite some minor fire control software issues. |

As I stated in our chat yesterday, battery guns, battery guns. XD Lithium ion beams sound like they're more powerful than hydrogen ion pulses (heavier element) but might fire a bit slower, and have a bit less range. Off-topic, but my Sajuuk v 2x Deliverance duel lost, because the Sajuuk has too much health. |

That is a monster ship. In fact, it has the same design as the Taiidan BC at the kushan war. cant wait to control this beast |

Exactly - this ship was developed under the name "Qwaar-Jet Evolved". Qwaar-Jet was the name of the Taiidani Heavy Cruiser. |

As it stands right now the QJE is the only pure Generation 5 hull in-game, able to defeat anyone and anything in a brute force standing fight. You need to use maneuver and finesse against it - like matador and bull. The final implementation of the ship in v7 will be modified in such a way as to allow such tactics. |

Am I to assume this is why C/FDB is authorizing higher H-CL caps? |

Very pretty. I mean, hunky. Manly. No jowls. Mean. Tight, but athletic. Non-Troglodytic. Epicurean. Magnanimous, yet scary. A refined bad-ass. I would take one of those and shove it down my trousers in hopes that Security would miss me as I scuttled out of the capital ship store.... Not on sale, is it? |

Vagyr? Damn here I go searching the build menus in the Higaaran fleet... How did I miss that?  Took the trouble to compile up the lot after pasting over the packages just to see that...and shoot with it! Edited by Homdax on 27-09-2005 14:50 |

The beta cruiser uses the ship designation "vgr_qwaarjet" which is a temporary one. The final version replaces the Titan class battleship and is less capable - i.e, the Deliverance will eat her in a standing fight due to tonnage and design superiority. (blatent reference to historical battleship comparisons, although tonnage vs capability is a moot point for some warfighting methods and ships in v7) Edited by TelQuessir on 29-09-2005 00:29 |

It's such a nice ship.... |

I understood it as that remaining Titan hulls would be upgraded to Al-Khalid class BBH's which would be capable of going toe to toe against the Deliverance.
