Description: With the need for Templar on the battlefield, the Techno Union, and most specifically Druckenwell Shipyards had worked directly with the Marshall of the Order to provide the Templar Order with an assault cruiser to get the Crusaders into and out of battle. The Crusade-Class Cruiser is a mobile base of operations for the Templar during space conflicts either at home or in enemy territory. Allowing them the ability to cause severe damage, the cruiser is perfect for the military minded Templar.

With the ship identifying to the Templar who commands her, should the need arise for the Templar in the fray, their starfighter of choice as well as their personal ship are easily stowed in the hangar of the cruiser.

Good start, but there are some things that need addressing. Let's get started.

• You're -way- over on guns. Assault Cruisers get 90 Capital Guns, not 90 Capital Gun batteries.
• You're missing your Defense Guns (Quad Lasers, Flak Cannons, etc).
• What is a "Magnetic Containment Shielded Work-Center"? What is the shield supposed to do?
• Your Cargo Capacity is very low, in the range of a light freighter. Cruisers can afford several thousand tons of cargo space.

Wow I ditzes out on that one.
Updated weapons counts.
Added Flak guns
Removed that Work Center (reworked this submission, which resulted in that copying over)
Updated cargo

Much better. However;

• You're now 30 under for Capital guns and 15 over on Defense guns.
• Not sure if you're aware, but standard warhead launchers aren't particularly effective against shielded capital ships above a corvette in size. So if you want to keep the general warfare theme going on, you might consider a few heavy warheads.

Thanks for the tips!
I promise I can do math. (sometimes)
