Image Source: Link
Intent: Create a safer system to house explosive warheads aboard Rebel Alliance Star ships.
Development Thread:
Manufacturer: Krasnie Drives
Model: KD12-1 C.A.S.S. (Combat Ammunition Storage System)
Affiliation: Rebel Alliance
Modularity: variable size to fit ammunition type, fire control selectable ammunition load out
Production: Minor (upgrade for Rebel Alliance vessels only)
Material: Quadrainuim, Durasteel
Description: The C.A.S.S. (Combat ammunition storage system) encases ammunition in a reinforced magazine which prevents accidental ignition of the payload from malfunction or enemy fire. The magazine is wrapped in a thick layer of durasteal for the internal structure then a layer of quadranium as the outer armor. This helps keep the ammunition from exploding and destroying the vehicle/vessel it is installed on.
Strengths:
* Combat Safety - Prevents accidental detonation of warheads and ammunition due to malfunction or glancing enemy fire. (I.E. weapons payload will not explode destroying craft.)
Weaknesses:
* Large - takes up weapons space equal to half the weapon type. (50% weapon type gun space for ammo storage) for instance: (1. A mass cannon equal to 1 capital gun will take .5 capital gun space for C.A.S.S. making the weapon 1.5 capital guns 2. 1 fighter scale chain gun equal to 1 gun will take .5 guns space. 3. Missile tube equal to 1 warhead launcher will take .5 warhead launchers for storage) Always rounded up!
