Babylon 5 ACTA: Sagittarius Missile Cruiser

 Well, what is in a name...

 

This Earth Alliance early era cruiser is just as subtle as the bowman constellation it is named after: it shoots missiles in all directions.

 

A Skirmish level vessel with average armour and hit points, it's use is as simple as it gets: hang back and launch the signature weapons of the Early era fleet, missiles.  Which, with the missile variant rules can actually become really nasty.  But that is just it's role, launch broadside after broadside (well, at least once you reload, because slow-loading) into the enemy lines.

 

Now, while this is a robust and typical "Earth Alliance brick" vessel, there is one issue.  It's engine section, being solid metal, is so heavy that it is a misery to mount it on a flight stand.  Even with drilling, superglue and a larger round plate at the bottom, it is prone to fall over.  I solved it in the end (a lesson learned from 20 years ago when we played it like crazy), is to mount it really, but really low, just showing a short piece of stem to do the measuring from and to.

 

Now, let's go off and pummel them with the subtelity of a brick... literally.
