I'm thinking of writting some fan-fiction... I plan on writting about an escort carrier.. something a little smaller to handle than Confederation class ( much as i like 'em) .. I was thinking maybe about an Exeter class.
But this is where I need some expert help... would an Exeter fight for post-wc2 era, for the stikes just before the False peace and the Battle of Earth.. what kind of load-out (fighter wise) would it have?
What about the TCS Tarawa.. not read the books, but can see in the encyclopedia it is a converted transport do we know anything about the type of transport?
What of the TCS Khorsan or the TCS Egnima? are they too converted transports, do we know what construction yards they took out and where? Could I use one of these carriers?
Any info... load outs of fighters, ship technology, that I'll need to remember would be a help. If I remember rightly, WC2 era, aren't capital ships invulnrable to fighter's guns and only the torps on a broadsword can bring 'em down?
Also, what kind of Kilrathi ships would I be matching up against, what is out of it's league, what could the carrier and the fighters utterly crush?
I appreciate I'm asking for a lot of info, and this is all pretty non-specfic stuff. While I'm not worried about being 100% accurate, keeping it reasonably so would be nice for me.
All help, guidance and info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
