BC-304 Daedalus Class Battlecruiser

The proud name for a small ship. Real Earth Government cosmic wafare ship. Above all he is not classified as Battlecruiser because it is too small to be even one Capitalships. Contrary to appearances, is an ambitious, yet small corvette which acts as a multi-purpose vehicle. Despite prevailing on the ground complete lack of ideas for the design of ships to fight in space, this corvette can be considered a good design. But only "good" because in some places is great, and in some places is a complete bottom.
Therefore lets respond with what's going on. This Corvette has installed on board a great shield, which protects it against any attacks from outside. It's really great shield, but its design is older than the Earth civilizations together so for those that are using what you have is nothing new (Encyclopedia). Others have switched to a different type of a shield (now major players have shields causing indestructibility, limited-time, not limited by resistance of a shield. Sometimes even a area efect (Blue Wings)). However, the installation of any such shield on such a small ship is new and its smooth operation can be regarded as real real success.
Another achievement is the installation of a hangar for small units for the purpose of transportation, repair, and rapid transfer to the surrounding space. To put it simply, this corvette is rather small aircraft carier for reconnaissance units.I advise you to further study of the use of this unit not as a line unit to wage war on the front, but as a unit designed for an infiltration behind enemy lines or reconnaissance unit. For this application would be great, as it has quite a good range both normal space and hyperspace translation.
Besides this kind of apartments for the crew are even welcoming and crew quaters and canteen with the conference should be regarded as something truly otherworldly. The crew of this ship should feel comfortable, notwithstanding the fact that it is a very small ship with limited space. Really good carrier for individuals of sabotage or reconnaissance. Just install decent systems for camouflage and ready.
Maybe that's enough of these sweets, and time to go to the defects. The main disadvantage is the drive. This ship, as in his class is as agile as the car with the hay. Sorry but it seems that the name of the Battlecruiser taken to heart, and as small as turning the ship done. The speed of his own, both in normal conditions and in the course of translation leaves much to be desired, unfortunately, which also has its echo in time at which the ship reaches the target. Unfortunately, it disqualifies him from working on the front line as she to fight, and moves to the role of a more mobile command center.
Another disadvantage is the reactor. No one feeds the great ship with such a small reactor. Buffer of power reactor is too small to simultaneously shoot and have attached shield endabled. Meanwhile, it is standard that all at once is working and fireing and endabled, and the reactor still can generate energy over the usage (Blue Wings, Vaygr, Taidan). Anchoring backup forms of energy generation should be banned because of the existence of the built-in backup power generator meanwhile, they are quite often practiced.
Another issue entirely distinguishing this ship is its weapons. The main weapons are quite small, but high firepower. Propably they are calculated not for continuous fire, rather sporadic and limited time of fire, after which time they must have a break. The light artillery is so light that it can target only a very small fighters (so small that they are not used).As you can see, the Earth cosmic fleet habits where maded as a result of contact with the small and lightweight enemies, instead of taking part in the major league.
So altogether, this unit is more like an aircraft carrier, than the Battlecruiser. Its armor without force field leaves much to be desired and even one well-aimed shot on the hull can cripple this unit. Her structurality flawless, but each hit on the active force field causes a shock to a unit, making the idea of work of this force field on this unit a subject to a thorough revision.
In the galaxy main league requirements for units or ships are huge because they themselves cost a lot of money. Meanwhile, building this Corvette it is a great budget achievement, because it costs a lot of money, despite its miserable construction.

At the end. Great unit for long-range infiltration and aircraft carrier for infiltration. Nothing worth unit to act on the main front.
