I know every one either call's them Gunboats, Pocket Warship's or even just plain Heavy Assualt ships, I my self decide just to call the MPB ie Missile Patrol Boat's (got the idea for the name for the ship type from the US Navy's Missile Hydrofoils they had in the late 80's and 90's before they fazed out of service) any how decided that subcap missiles was available as they are supposed to be more primitive versions and ancestors of the modern Capital weapons in normal use anyhow so why not use them ?, but in keeping with the idea of using them also decided to keep the MPB as simpile as possible and keep the weapons and the rest of the equipment Level 1 with the exception of the Sub Cap Missile's, below I have a prototype idea listed for this concept in progress, so please fire away your thoughts about how i might be able to expand this idea or modifiy possible weak points in the concept and design, I do plan for more advanced versions, but I see keeping such ships more as a sorta Elite reserve(ie more advanced tech) around the Primary Navel Base's and Warships' while the more lower tech versions are meant for mass production attrition units as needed and defense vessels for lower priority systems.
