That sounds like the Dominion battlecruiser.

Or rather - Dominion with dorsal lances removed. Still I'd say it's not enough difference to create new ship. We might assume that lance-launch bay combination isn't availible in standard cruiser slot for a reason.

I was wondering whether or not it would be worth while, i think it might be when paired up with a dominator as their combined attack craft and weaponery would compliment each other rather well

i shall do more thinking on this

more opinions wlecome

Dominators have no need for reloading. I think pairing the launch bay ship you mention with a Dominion or another of the same would work.

Id play someone if they brought it. I wouldnt ok it for standard play tho, IN is already way too close to just removing all ship names and calling them "generic cruiser, insert desired weapons x, y, and z). That might sound appealing but having every option available really just makes everything bland.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.
