Star Trek 1:1 Automated Weapons Platforms

The Automated Weapons Platform (AWP) is an attempt to build the combat capabilities of a main-line starship into a framework which is inexpensive, customizable, and  functionally disposable. The AWP series are purpose built, from existing mass-produced parts.  The reactor and engineering section is from a sublight tug.  The nacelles are standard for light scouts of the era.  The turrets are standard base turrets.  Redundant deflectors allow the craft to more easily push through combat debris like a  heavier craft.

Refit this!

Having now graduated (with honors, thank you, (takes a bow))  I will likely resume my shipbuilding ways.    On the other hand, I am holding off until  Schema finishes this next release.  Those two new blocks of his will likely affect some of my design decisions.

As I resume, I will probably not be building (m)any new ships for a bit.  I'm going to make a rebuild/refit run through all the ships I have already created.

They need:

• Improved Armor.
• Improved Shielding
• Weapons Tuning
• Bunkered cores
• Off-axis computer placement
• Aesthetic enhancement with new blocks.
• Bounce tubes to replace ramps.

Current projects that might get some love while I do my refits:

• TOS Romulan (cloaking)
• TOS Romulan (pretty, non-cloaking)
• Enterprise D (long term project)
• Constellation class (mini-carrier, great for mobile faction base)
• Combat drone series (Thoroughly non-canon. Trek-styled automated gunships to hunt, kill, and supplant the venerable Migraine Triggers
