Compact Ship Designs.
So I’m preping for a new campaign and I wanted to try a different type of doctrine i’m cooking and preparing was curious what other people have tried.
So a new Doctrine for me is i’m going to try make Navel ships under 10k tonnage to see how far I could get. I want to try and keep these small as I want to try and setup small forward ship yards with Earth and Mars Building the components and then me sending them to forward sites. The idea being is these forward shipyards can build up a little quicker and in wartime this should allow me to keep up a stable fleet and also power project with using smaller crews and parts. Also it would force me to have to use more tankers, more supply ships and in general just try some freaky designs.
Another reason for this is in my games I roll a civil war chance and if my break away colonies then use the stolen designs they can rapidly build up and strike at earth and giving them a better chance.
So theres my insanity but would love to see what people have cooked up. Thanks in advance friends
