Phoenix D, the Starfire timeline did use point defense but to match the values, why dont you double up the hull space used by the pd module

The 'birds' are the Ophuichi (pronounced oh-poo-chee or oh-poo-ki depending on whether you are american or european

to reflect the starfire universe, they should have a small but hi tech industrial base, be carrier driven (fighter gurus) with no other vessels higher than a battlecruiser (so no battleline as such)

the tabbies should be pretty much the same as by the time of the civil war, they were carrier heavy

"Phoenix D, the Starfire timeline did use point defense but to match the values, why dont you double up the hull space used by the pd module"

The point was doing this WITHOUT a mod If I do this scenerio with a mod, it'll take longer. Actually, some elements of my current techmod are similar to Starfire- I borrowed the standard missiles, for example. At the current rate it'll take a LONG time to finish though. Techs are in, vehicles are in, I've started on components.. finished missiles, but multi-layered components really, really suck.

Just an FYI, if you're expecting anything other than a shoot em up from In Death Ground.. don't Insurrection is slightly better, but IMO they aren't Weber's best work. Still makes a nice setting for this though. Especially since the setting already uses warp points, no workarounds needed.

Tesco, I personally think Weber's 'Honor Harrington' novels are spiffo - damn fine reads each and every one.

Another couple of books I think are pseudo SEIV in outlook are Niven's 'Motie' books - I think the first was called the Mote in Gods Eye and the second was called the Moat around Murcheson's Eye - really good the pair of them
