Dheran's Destroyers Galore

Back in 2016 there was this design a ship competition here on the forums. 4 out of 5 of my entries were destroyers. I was so enthralled with the idea of designing destroyers that I created 4 per race shortly after.
Now, that UCM destroyer preview surfaced, I dug up my own destroyers in order to share with you.

I did a second pass on UCM and Scourge to take into account how the preview destroyer looks like.

Depth Charge: Close Action weapon that can only target ships in atmosphere. Can only be shot from low orbit. Use normal lock value for the attack.

These are awesome!

Thanks for sharing.

The Hamburg looks tasty, Aegis (3) and Launch (2) on one ship means a 18-27 PD boost per group to ships being threatened by enemy launch or CAW attack runs.

I think the Bordeaux may be overpriced compared to the Dallas. No strong feelings on the Plymouth either way.

The Aglaia looks fun.

The point values and balance is all over the place, I haven't actually looked at it for like half a year or so.

I'm just hoping that destroyers will be modular enough to produce multiple classes. I don't care much if they are resin or plastic, but I really hope there will be 3-4 classes per race.

So:

• Bordeaux sort of made it as UCM Kiev-class with it's spinal mounted mass driver.
• Hamburg sort of made it as UCM Vancouver-class with full complement of bombers too.
• Cerastes sort of made it as UCM Havana-class with 2 light torpedoes.
• Gwyllgi sort of made it as Scourge Succubus-class with its double Occulus beams (same max damage and same Weapons Free requirement for maximum damage).
• Aglaia sort of made it as PHR Electra-class, except weapons are forward mounted.

Close enough Hawk, notice me senpai!
