Systems 1 x Screen 2 x FCS 2 x ADFC 8 x PDS 1 x Class-3 beam (FP,F) 1 x Class-3 beam (F,FS) 1 x Class-2 beam (All) 1 x Class-2 beam (FP,F,FS) 2 x Class-1 beam (All) Notes: [Data note: Cost recalculated from the original "Cost: 360" to "Cost: 358" - ftsrj.js's cost calculator (confirmed accurate against Fleet Book 1's own "Mass and Points Cost Table") doesn't reconcile with this ship's originally declared cost; the original submission's declared cost never matched its own listed components. The bracketed figure is the cost with a standard fighter complement aboard, present only for ships with Fighter Bays.] After a few devastating skirmishes with the FSE, it was discovered that the FURIOUS CE didn't always offer sufficient protection (and in fact as would be later realized, wasn't anywhere near as good an anti-fighter/missile platform as the NAC had hoped; too many other roles it was trying to fill), so for added fleet protection a number of MAJESTIC hulls were re-designed to be PDS-heavy vessels. The basic hull structure remained the same, just the internal configuration and capabilities changed. This design proved to be highly effective for anti-fighter and anti-missile operations - and it still retained a significant punch for ship-to-ship combat. While it could survive longer than a VANDENBURG CA against Ships-of-the-Line, it really was not intended to go head-to-head with dreadnoughts. [Data note: Added "(Military)" to the Hull line - this record had no Military/Merchant type suffix at all. Recovered from its declared Crew (6) matching the Military Crew Factor formula (ceil(106/20) = 6), not the Merchant one (ceil(106/50) = 3).]
