Does anyone have any thoughts on this design?
It worked well in a game we played today.
(We play here in Jacksonville on Weds. & Sundays.)

After playing many games, I realized that my ships needed more protection. By Deleating the Fire Control & marines I was able to increase the Armor and upgrade the AA weapong. This is the result:

SNS ARIZONA (610)
-Tech: Engines +2; Shields +2; Weapons +2

Screens: 26-25-24-23-22-21-20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Weapons: 21-18-15-12-9-6-3
Shields: 3-3-3-2-2-1-1

Traits: Repair (10)

I have played this ships and its many sister ships and they work.
Cheers.

Since Beowulf is often an opponent of mine, I made a 700pt WW2-era BB based on my Italian Littorio class mini.

Ship name: Stella Roma

Marines : 2 1
Traits: Repair Crews (4) <- I added this as a reminder
[SU: 651] <- added to show how much space was left over. could have reduce a TL, but that doesn't really matter; = Aux space.
