ASC
Vindictive
Based on Repulsive, but saw action in the Great Crusade when Repulsive is a post Heresy ship?
Ironwolf
Same issue.
Rogue Trader Escorts
Brigatine should be Brigantine?
Barques tend to have historically been larger ships. Perhaps a different name would be better?
Good point about the Vindictive and Ironwolf. I will fix that.
Yes, it should be brigantine. Typo, will fix.
I used the name Barque right out of the Warp Rift it was in. I will do some research, but I am ultimately not that concerned. Destroyers are bigger than frigates afterall, but not in BFG.
Havoc Frigate/Praetor Frigate /Infidel Raider/Meritech Raider/Onager
All of these ship apparently use the same basic hull… Surely we can come up with some cheesy fluff that links all of these VERY similar ships.
Praetor:
"Predecessor to the later Falcion (sp:Falchion) and Cobra classes…"
2010 says Predecessor to the later Sword and Cobra classes. Falchion is post Heresy.
Not sure of adding "linking" fluff as it is kinda understood IMO since they are all imperial design and escort class. Given mechanicus design philosophy and STC technology, they are implied to be similar. BUT more so is a lack of space to add linking fluff.
Will fix the typo. Thanks. And if the Falchion is post heresy, it could be a predecessor to that too.
Kinda weird to be a predecessor to Sword and Cobra, as those are VERY divergent. But I will look into the fluff again.
Havoc Frigate:
There appear to be two different Havoc escorts. 2010 version is all weapons batteries while the BFGR Traitor Fleets 1.4 is 2 WB and 1 torpedo
To differentiate between these two ships, perhaps make the Praetor a destroyer or heavy destroyer, since it has torpedoes (and change the Traitor fleet ship to match 2010)? This would also tie in to the "larger escort to fulfill the role of the Cobra" plans stolen from the Monsk orbital shipyards (became Infidel)
The design plans were then lost during or shortly after the Heresy.
It is meant to be the Imperial Equivalent in a way to the BFG:R Havoc. I can't change the BFG:R ship to match the 2010. As well, the 2010 version doesn't matter to this since it is meant to be used with BFG:R. The difference between the two is in the shields and speed, plus the preator is 1 WB less.
Meritech Raider/Infidel
To tie the hull design to the Meritech Clans, they "found" plans for Havoc/Praetor and adapted the hull to their radical technologies?
Or stole them from the Monsk orbital shipyard, used them and also sold them to Chaos factions who built the Infidel?
Fluff taken directly from official sources with minor changes for clarification. mostly word for word.
Onager
Falchion (post Heresy ship) pic for a heresy era ship?
Ignoring the "Nova Cannon in an escort issue" (rolls eyes) ;-), Did Nova Cannons even exist on cruisers during the Heresy? The only Heresy era ships I see with Nova Cannons are the Apocalypse and Victory battleships. Assuming they did, would not Onagers be built out of Praetors or Havocs instead of building a "new escort"? Might be nicer to make them a post Heresy development.
Yes I believe they did. And part of the luff is that it is an adhoc vessel, so it is easy to believe some have been built since the heresy and likely could have used a Falcion hull. This improvised design concept is why there are 2 designs on the page.
Traitor Fleets
Heretic Light Cruiser
Predecessor to the Dauntless (which fought in the Heresy), but first noted appearance in M32?
Is this in BFG:R? It isn't in the ASC....
Crusader Pattern Forgeship
Forgeship should be two words like forge world, both in the title and description?
Also: Famous Ships, Heracles (Black Templarsy Chapter)
I copied the name Forgeship and the famous ship Heracles DIRECTLY from the Black Templars fleet list released in Fanatic Magazine (issue 90 I believe). I don't have a random y in my master file, but maybe I fixed that previously.
Kuat Seiner indeed…
I have a couple easter eggs like this hidden in the file. Why not have fun with it?
