Frog class Armored Planetoid

Source message

Another excursion into lunchtime fun for your enjoyment. Again, this is a tweaked design pushing the limits of the possible. This has a very limited offensive punch, with only a single missile battery (though you could use the lasers for offense if they didn't have missiles of their own to shoot at defensively).

There were a number of replies to this posting, with various suggestions (see messages 5003, 5004, 5009, 5010, 5011, 5012).

COMMENTS
The Frog planetoid ship is an attempt at designing a well defended
vessel.  It is primarily intended as a system monitor, though it does
mount a jump drive (it does not have fuel for a jump, relying on drop
tanks for required fuel when mobility is required).
