SPECIAL FEATURES
Secondary bridge to help keep track of a busy battle
Strengths:
- Hammer Time: The absurd amount of turbo laser on the NH28 make the frigate ideal for ship to ship combat, able to rain down at least 10 of it's turrets at an enemy ship at once. Though on par with most heavy frigates, against something like a Nebulon B the NH28 would utterly determinate it.
- Good Defense: Instead of opting for a singular shield generator the NH28 uses multiple smaller shield generator to cover the ships section, along with decent armor plating make the craft sturdy.
- Double Bridge: Having two bridges makes for a trick target, as if the attack the forward one it is heavly defended, if they attack the upper one it puts them in range of all turbo laser. IF they divert attacks on both it may not be enough to take them out. Such makes for a tricky target.
- Ion Attack: The Ion armament is catered towards anti star fighters, meaning that along with the smaller laser cannons fighter may have a hard time around this ship. Bombers and slower craft that are not capital ships will also find this a difficult ships to deal with.
- Slow Go: Is not particularly far or easy to maneuver due to it's large size and length, this means faster ships can slip into it's blind area if not targeted quick enough.
- Blind Spot: Has an unfortunate blind spot due to the extra bridge meaning that the turrets are not all able to fire directly behind itself. Such is problematic if a well armed enemy craft can get behind it without any opposition.
- No Fighters: It must be noted that the NH28 does not carry any fighters into battle meaning it will need to rely on other ships in that regard. Though able to ward of fighters, larger swarms are a problem for it.
When it comes to slapping ships together to make larger ships a lot can go wrong, but in some cases the result if quite interesting. HCLI's current line of ships and those to come take from this book very regularly, the newest ship in the NH series being a combinations of two well known ships from 800 years ago. In a nut shell the new NH28 frigate is more or less a combination of the CR90 and the retrofitted Consular-class cruiser, with a few boost to it's length and armament. Being the first in the frigate line for HCLI wanted to make something SMASHING, and smashing the first ship was, carrying as many heavy weapons as a ship of it's size could hold, somewhat being a little ridiculous.
Operational Use
One could look at the NH28 and instantly know this thing was a ship of the line, good armor and plain armament make the NH28 ideal for ship on ship fighting. No fancy tricks of skills, just find a suitable target, and rain down destruction on top of them, while brushing off any return fire. Make sure to keep a look out for fighters and bombers, because though the NH28 does have the ability to deal with em it is not an anti star fighter frigate. Additionally, though well armed it is recommended to bite off more then you can chew.
Defenses
The NH28 sports overlapping shield generators, more suited for a corvette, but work well on the still reasonably small frigate. This combined with decent armor means that the craft can shake of a decent amount of fire put on it, the double bridge also giving it the ability to stay afloat even if one is taken out. Even so the ship is not a Heavy Frigate, and can be outclassed by a more dedicated ship of the line, or just over all larger craft like cruisers.
