NR's Multi-purpose ships

[HobbesHurlbut]

I prefer the TR / Rebellion model.

Heh what was it about the first variant you liked?

I like the 2nd variant because it looks cleaner and feels less haphazard for being a stripped down Imperial Dreadnaught. The 'chin structures' (using the Nebulon-B's chin structures) on the other hand I'm more or less ambivalent about.

Because it leads to shots like this.

No. We want Assault Frigate to be changed because of HER lore. I already listed my findings from the ORIGINAL sources that first statted out both ships. see below.
Now, what makes AF unique? She's faster and more maneuverable because of cut down superstructure and added maneuvering fins. She has stronger shields to make up for loss of her hull durability. And well, apparently deploying (supporting) two squadrons of starfighters (in ICW 2.2). Compared to Imperial Dreadnaught.

Yes sir.  Hobbes has gotten to the bottom of this.
