Now for the Feng Huang, the oversized, underfueled, and desperately undergunned "pride" of the Capellan Confederation. Advertised in canon fluff as a counter to the Thera, but totally inadequate for the task. If ever a ship needed re-designed, it's this one. So, here we go:
- Consolidate the capital weapons for bracketing fire, instead of having them spread inefficiently all over the ship.
- Light weapon and point defense bays suitable for seeing off a wall of 200 fighters.
- All energy weapons, of course.
- Improve the carried assets to include a Capellan fighter wing, shuttle squadron and armored marine battalion.
- Tweak the armor slightly for threshold.
- The tiny canon fuel tank contradicts the endurance implied by all energy armament. Let's turn some cargo bay space into fuel tanks.
Voila!
