Here is wave three of the Phystyulons!
Nakrozar Class Battlecruiser
link
The Nakrozar Battlecruiser is a mid-sized line combat vessel. With the typical above-average agility possessed by Phystyulon capital ships, it also has strong armour and tough shields.
Its primary offense consists of four Class 75 spinal-mount lazer cannons, supplemented by two Class 60s. It uses a dozen of the larger Class 60 lazer pylons provided it with better all-round fire. I can thus support a lighter line of vessels from slightly further away.
No less than around eighty point-defence lazer turrets are scattered around the hull, making attacking a Nakrozar at close range a dangerous proposition if they are not busy defending against missiles.
Hazarak Class Light Cruiser
link
The Hazarak (roughly analogously translated to "missile cavalry") is designed as a raider or harassing unit. They typically operate in threes, often without dedicated escort support.
The Hazarak has above-average manoeuvrability for a light cruiser, more than the fleet average for the Phystyulons. It has a good turn of speed which lets it flank more easily. Armed with three Class 60 spinal mount lazer cannons and six Class 45 lazer cannons on pylons, it is capable of dealing significant damage, especially in numbers. It has strong shields, though only light armour.
Forty point-defence lazer turrets provide adequate protection against missile fire and add some short-range power. The Hazarak's main defence against missiles is typically not being a priority target, or rushing the missile ships themselves to try and destroy them before they fire.
Arkaz Torpedo Frigate
link
The Arkaz is one of the few dedicated torpedo vessels in the Physyulon Star Navy. As Phystyulon torpedoe are short ranged and compartivively low tech, they are supplementary weapons most often used for some limited anti-cluster effect, rather than the more typical long-range anti-ship operations that most powers that have torpedoes use.
The Arkaz is as such, a light, agile vessel with surprisingly good shielding and armour for its size, to best close to the optimum weapons range. It mounts four double-fire torpedo tubes – two forward and four rear, though power consumption typically prevents it from using both forward and rear and once.
The Arkax has two score of light lazer cannon turrets for close defence, which also means that it can be quite dangerous to engage at close range.

Next month will be the final wavbe of the current designs for the Phystyulons, and then after that, hopefully, the first of the forth elenthnar power, the Xygritt Matriarchy!

Accelerate & Attack: Aeons of War is also out now (a generic build-your-own ships system suitable for any set of models) is also now available of Wargames Vault here:

There is also a free Web Enhancement Pack; this contains the markers and the QR sheet the latter of which is an indicator of the level of the game if you want to have a quick nosey.

And, of course, I'm always happy to answer questions about it (though your best bet is to contact me through the Wargame Vault or Shapeways PM, since that PM system here isn't open to everyone and these days, putting your email address on a forum is a no-no!)
goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
