Hello again fellow naval gamers! I have for you here an excellent article by Ian Cross (Major McNicol on the forums) that provides a fictional discussion and history to the development of the NTSC cruiser designs in Firestorm Armada. Ian does an excellent job laying out a case for how and why the various cruiser variants came to be. This sort of stuff really gets my naval geek juices flowing! Anyway, you can find a PDF of his article in the Downloads section:
