[Spaceships] TL10^ Arsenal Ship

[Cernig]

My Space campaign is very roughly based on Traveller IW, but I'm using Spaceships for ship design and developing some home rules for things like EW, variant missiles etc.

Here's a first pass at a TL10^ Arsenal Ship (per my asides with Molokh), for my first Spaceships post to the forums.

CVA-1 “Hope” Class Arsenal Ship

The Arsenal Ship is designed to provide massive missile fire support to a task group and usually has a couple of small EW escorts as extra protection. All of its missile systems can accept target designation from other fleet vessels through a distributed data network. It gives the firepower of a carrier without putting all those highly-trained pilots or a large crew in danger. It has fuel for a "jump 2 to battle, jump 1 to safety" tactic.

Critiques welcome. Also anyone who wants to take a bash at designing variant missiles (partially-stealthy "coast-and final boost", EW/Decoy, MIRV, MIRV-PD etc.), drone fighters or drone PD platforms please do so :-)

EDIT - Altered power point requirements, added one tertiary battery and revised steerage cargo.
