Fluorite Class Destroyer

Cost: 240k Fluorite Class is designed to counter frontsider airships and thrusters. Her primary armament are the 24 Lua-programmed medium AShMs, which are scripted to attack targets from above and bypass their thickest frontal armor. At 240k cost, she can casually shoot down many built-in frontsiders that cost 2-4x more than herself, such as DWG-Tarpon, GT-Nimbus, SD-Gauss, etc. Role and strategy • Frontsider hunter, also effective against surface vessels • Use Lua-programmed missile salvos to strike target's top and sides • High speed (62m/s) allows her to stay out of enemy's optimal range as long as possible • Combat distance: 4. 2km Armament • 24x Lua-programmed medium AShM in 2 turreted launchers ○ Scripted to cruise above target's altitude and do a Javelin-style dive attack at terminal ○ Squadron coordination - spread out to minimize overlapping damage from CIWS • 2x single 130mm DP railgun firing APHE at 1900m/s muzzle velocity • 1x laser CIWS • 2x medium torpedo launchers to provide minimal ASW capability • Various simple weapons Defense • Armor thickness varying from 0. 5HA to 1. 5H, plus a 0. 5HA horizontal armor deck • LAMS, DP railguns and simple weapons all configured for anti-munition at close range • Missile interceptors • Planar shields and smoke generators • Projectile-avoidance routine for dodging maneuvers Propulsion • High-output, low-efficiency steam engine to meet combat demand • Low-output, high-efficiency diesel engine for out-of-combat cruising • Max speed: 62m/s (120 knots) Reference • Hull design: Type 1936/A/C class • Missile launcher and DP gun turret: Luda class
