Oh no sorry the port/star weapons is a typo
![Tongue :P](http://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
p/f and f/s would be correct.
So after a bit of thought I have revised my idea:
180pts and base stats as presented in Armada
Prow:
6 Tau missles firing F
4 Weapons batteries 45cm and L/F/R should be fine
Broadside:
3 Weapons batteries 45cm L/F and F/R
1 Lance 30cm L/F and F/R
This would place the Hero right at where I would expect it, 10 wbs and 2 lances in the F fire arc is slightly better than the Lunars broadside while 7 wbs and 1 lance is slighly worse. With the option to split fire you would have 5 wbs and 1 lance in each broadside if youre in the situation to use both broadsides. The 45cm weapons help overcome the price difference between loosing the 1 wb and 1 lance per side. I could see adding the Tracking Systems to this ship as a boost and to further seperate it from the carrier version (and its got that big module on the rear).
190 ish pts and base stats as presented in Armada
Prow:
6 Tau missles firing F
4 Weapons batteries 45cm and L/F/R
Broadside:
1 Tau Launch -
1 Lance 30cm L/F and F/R
This one would still retain a decent amout of firepower and bring the lauch. The loss of the Weapons batteries and Tracking Systems (if used as they would be given over to multi role combat craft and missle control) would help bring down the upgrade cost to attack carrier.
In either case the option to upgrade the Lances to 45cm but with a restriction of one 45cm lance Hero per 2 cruisers would be nice.
Hum Im actually rather fond of this layout, still just throwing ideas around, the Hero as presented in BFG-R is fairly balanced its just awkward that all of their ships are so muddled.
