Ok, my preferred (and voted) option is the cheap one. I'm ok with the 3 bay option though and also the 110 pt 3 turret version at a pinch with or without the +1 to reload.

2/500
2 Launch
2 Lances or 2 Torpedoes/ Weapons batteries

This one is really neat.
Simple and  balanced.

[AndrewChristlieb]

Whats the difference between 5 and 6 other than the restriction and 6 isnt priced?

[Neferhet]

2 lance batteries, i guess

[Vaaish]

There are way to many options here for a vote.

[Neferhet]

There are way to many options here for a vote.

Maybe for a definitive vote, yes.
Still, with this vote, it would be possible to eliminate some options and maybe have another vote, with 2 or max 3 options. (the more voted in this poll)

[AndrewChristlieb]

Ah i see the lance thing. I can live with out the lances. Would option 6 have the 2/500 restriction still then @100 pts?

[horizon]

That where my points:
No lances
No restrictions
Points 100 or 110

[afterimagedan]

What about 105pts?

[Sigoroth]

What about 105pts?

It's in the ballpark. We're looking at 100-110 pts with the low end being really basic and at the high end some possible perks, such as: a-boats, mines, torp-bombers, bonus planetary assault points, turret, or +1 on RO.

There should be no lance option. If the Voss ships could take that then the other two variants would definitely take it. Those ships are fine as they are though.

As for the limit, I'm inclined to include the limit (1/500 or part), particularly at the cheap end. This limit would simply be to prevent spamming of course. You could still have 2 in a 750 pt list and 3 in a 1500 pt list. These are reasonable numbers.

Sig, are you favoring option 6 at 100-110 pts?

[Tyberius]

OPTION 6
Horizon Modded Andrewchristlieb Merge version:
6 hits, 20cm speed, 90* turns, 1 shield, 6+/5+ armor, 2 turrets
1 Launch bay per side, 2 Prow Weapon Batteries @30cm F/L/R, 2 prow torpedoes

points value?   I think 100 is too cheap....... 105, 110 maybe?

[Sigoroth]

Sig, are you favoring option 6 at 100-110 pts?

Yes.

[afterimagedan]

I favor Option 6 at 105pts.
