User:Raw90/Common Cruiser (Light) Tender Project

Cruiser Zeta
Available around 2328. Designed as a platform for the Apiata, Caitians, and Sydraxians, the Common Cruiser Tender is a high D swarm-support ship. With high D and S, the class is also capable of acting as a wolfpack leader. Out of combat, those same capabilities, along with its large diplomatic facilities and recreational spaces, allow the Common Cruiser Tender or Cruiser Zeta to act as a Task Force Leader. While shielding and diplomatic facilities have not been much improved over the Little Queenship, hull strength and scientific capabilities have been doubled in size, with additional major increases in combat and reaction.

Cruiser Zeta (Automated)
Automated version of the initial design. Drops crew by one in each stat in exchange for 45 additional SR.

Carrier Alpha
The same stats, but on an explorer frame. Crew the same as the automated version, but for substantially less SR.

Carrier Alpha (Automated)
The same stats, but on an explorer frame. Crew drops to 2 below either the Carrier Alpha or the automated Cruiser Zeta.

Cruiser Eta
Available around 2328, the Cruiser Eta is another CCT proposal. It is closer to the Little Queenship in capability, but also closer in cost, than the Cruiser Zeta. The Cruiser Eta is about half a megaton smaller, requiring 40 less BR, 5 more SR, and demanding 7 less units of crew. Combat power is kept the same, but shielding, reaction, and scientific capabilities have been slightly reduced. Shielding is equivalent to the LQN, but hull strength has been doubled. The Cruiser Eta design uses automated subframes in some, but not all cases.

Cruiser Eta (No Automation)
Available around 2328, the Cruiser Eta is another CCT proposal. It is closer to the Little Queenship in capability, but also closer in cost, than the Cruiser Zeta. Combat power is kept the same, but shielding, reaction, and scientific capabilities have been slightly reduced. Shielding is equivalent to the LQN, but hull strength has been doubled. This variant of the Cruiser Eta has no automated subframes.
