In a fairly recent post, RFC commented on the upcoming Eraystor class of ironclads. I have seen several different ship designs RFC has posted to the forum over the last year, including 2 versions of the KHVII and 3 different armored cruiser versions. But I don't recall a post about Eraystor class ironclad stats. Did I miss the post? If so, could somebody give me the link to it? And if this information has not yet been posted, I humbly ask RFC for an infodump. ;)

From his limited description on Sep 26th to Dilandu, I assume they are the improved upgunned Delthak class like ironclad, or ironclads built with the improvements suggested by analysis of the great canal/river raid Delthaks including at least the upgrade of her guns to the current rifled 6 inch breach loading angle guns instead of the ones available at the time of the raids. I make that WAG based on remembering the same loadout on Delthak as summarized for the Eraystor class -- 14 6 inch per broadside and the similarity in crew size coupled with calling them ironclads and not cruisers. That 9/26/2014 reference is the only place in the last year he has used that name in a post (I found a year ago post mentioning Eraystor Bay, but not the ironclad.)
