Iuthia

Firstly, this is all OOC knowledge for purposes of checking up and you know the usual. Anyone who has ever played Homeworld will instantly understand what I’ve done and yes, I’ve stolen their technology for myself. I won’t justify it, everyone seems either spend a lot of time creating their from scratch (well done) and a lot of others just use tried and tested ships (see Star Wars for example).
Anyways, it all started out with the Carrier I built a couple RL months ago, well these of the types of ships that it has produced, though I have yet to make a list of all my forces (it’s one hell of a job with a nation my size) this is here to be shown when used. Archived if you will.
Iuthian Carrier
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQDkAjUVy!4DVu4f54jeImiuPsZ9aSEA2jWAq9rNmzCcwtnORwJrptXco0uPXzr3hk6gVf*skVms7V7KQuLE4PyYNRSlsb3*5pP SpdaYjK8/Carrier.bmp?dc=4675443628059313238
Mass: 600’000 tons
Firepower: Various mass driver turrets placed around the hull
Armour: Very strong armour all around, it’s the most important ship in the fleet
Coverage 60%
Maneuverability: Very Low
Max Acceleration: 300 m/s
The Carrier incorporates an entire construction centre, capable of building up to Frigate-class ships. In addition, a huge docking array provides space for up to 50 Fighters and 25 Corvettes. Its rapid-fire deck guns give it adequate defence.
Kilreth Assault Frigate
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TwDaApMYYuqCgISKRtt56A0BCuJzgEDivOb3rw2ZP8TLPydlNOTfq6b*zB3w70YSpHfl57PVhnCvq*h2*d6G40eLqGjgEYJ5viK Q3a5Z72jQEsdJlZmP9w/Assault%20Frigate.bmp?dc=4675443623848081897
Mass: 45’000 tons
Firepower: Four large mass driver turrets, two fixed plasma bomb launchers.
Armour: Quite strong for the size of the hull, can take it’s share of mass driver rounds.
Coverage: 75%
Maneuverability: Low
Max. Acceleration: 325 m/s
The Kilreth Assault Frigate is the most general-purpose combat ship of the capital ships. It has four large mass driver turrets, which can afford it excellent coverage, as well as two fixed plasma bomb launchers. While it’s turrets are too so to track fast moving Fighters, they can take out the slower Corvettes with ease.
Orderly Support Frigate
Mass: 45’000 tons
Firepower: One large mass driver turret.
Armour: Not as much as the Kilreth but will be capable of taking a few direct hits before being compromised.
Coverage: 15%
Maneuverability: Low
Max Acceleration: 475 m/s
Giving support to the Strike Crafts in combat is the Orderly Support Frigate’s main role. It has ten Fighter docking pads and four Corvette docking arms for repairing and refueling. Although it is well armoured, the Orderly Support Frigate has only one large mass driver turret for defence and is best not left alone.
Experimental Drop Pod Frigate (the Roger Young)
Mass: 60’000 tons
Firepower: Two large mass driver turrets, one on the bottom, one on the top.
Armour: About as much as the Kilreth Assault Frigate
Coverage: 30%
Maneuverability: Low
Max Acceleration: 325 m/s
The Drop Pod Frigate is a new addition to the Iuthian fleet. Its main function is to fire drop pods out of the barrels placed at the bottom of the ship. These pods will then do their job as described on this thread [insert thread]. As you can see, the Frigate has little in the way of defence and should be escorted.
Volten Light Corvette
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TgAPAzgYcsz8CLbnCI27**w2IVGoXjWwdMp4HpwPS3vdr4Fi5mQmZJ4dwkfbRi0IyBqESsUkcQNNorrou9Z*mtrYhwJqd8RmaMd ehiKbnqzzblNJxDF2dA/Light%20Corvette.bmp?dc=4675443623553081273
Mass: 400 tons
Firepower: Small but powerful Mass Driver turreted gun.
Armour: Reasonable
Coverage: 40%
Maneuverability: Medium
Max Acceleration: 575 m/s
Its heavy-duty engine, chassis, and armour make the Light Corvette significantly slower then any of the Fighter-class ships. Its salvation comes in a powerful turreted gun, which is fast enough to hit Fighters flying at full speed.
Kriton Heavy Corvette
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TgACAz0YwM1EBo8iJXo24ZUjBcz7StJdoP7Ip4o3XHLrYPM7m!I*aqI2m7DlltVXwMIaWXrQH8EX7SU5MVseFOswaUt8NcZ18Zp vKBhvkzCisaoxzc30NA/Heavy%20Corvette.bmp?dc=4675443623764870882
Mass: 750 tons
Firepower: Two powerful Mass Driver turreted guns.
Armour: Very Reasonable (twice are good as it’s light counterpart)
Coverage: 50%
Maneuverability: Medium
Max Acceleration: 350 m/s
More heavily armoured then its light cousin, the Kriton Heavy Corvette adds a second high powered turret to an already powerful craft. Its turrets allow the Heavy Corvette to track two Fighters at once and also make it a moderate threat to Capital Ships.
“Fighter-Killer” Corvette
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0UQDUApUZ1zd5P7NRQ9ysoq3fJRH1FRHhSuhj8Yl0KDtM25!lWOdzRL7CcXoKKQ07lIUU58OcWzK*gmExMIqpyc6MoWkT5tK4*c4 UidIkCB0MrfFYB4ULh42jzirmp*ZF/Multigun%20Corvette.bmp?dc=4675443628251143975
Mass: 750 tons
Firepower: Six fully articulating Light Mass Driver turrets.
Armour: A little less then the Heavy Corvette, but more then the Light Corvette.
Coverage: 78%
Maneuverability: Medium
Max Acceleration: 695
Following advances in turrets and auto targeting, the “Fighter-Killer” corvette was conceived. It sports a full six articulating turrets. This allows it to track numerous fast moving targets at once, making it especially deadly against large groups of Fighters.
“Ghost” Scouts
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TQDUAssXP63B497vQVX0hIXzop3ON0SE4F**RXpWedD4mVHF0leicIiMIL2zdTv!dJPuFDTFTlXOO!SsDZqKb9oZez22jDA15qt I6b3lrtDRalWmAUV5!w/Scout%20Fighter.bmp?dc=4675443623465909344
Mass: 40
Firepower: Light fixed Mass Driver.
Armour: Light
Coverage: 8%
Maneuverability: Very High
Max Acceleration: 1000 m/s
True to its name, the “Ghost” scout is a fast, cheap ship that is useful for scouting out enemy locations. Because of it’s high maneuverability, the Scout is excellent for creating diversions and light harassment while avoiding enemy fire.
“Devil” Interceptor
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQAPA*wWemtkXPz8QXPlBMUBi2JeRwNQPVl9w1VP!3uhd3Aw5v*qLoTF!SqCDK*dZ5rEPbe5uNT7He3VLRfxj5BjHGwCwzrl3dJ lhp!ARTHjdTzIF9X3Vg/Interceptor.bmp?dc=4675443623679269003
Mass: 60 tons
Firepower: Moderately sized fixed Mass Driver.
Armour: Light-Medium
Coverage: 10%
Maneuverability: High
Max Acceleration: 875 m/s
While less maneuverable then the “Ghost” Scout, the “Devil” Interceptor easily compensates with its much heavier weaponry. The Interceptor is a good Fighter killer and stacks up against Capital Ships when used in greater numbers.
Urtak Defender
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TwDnAmcYWt2sUf1KMk6rVRuoFZc9wZW8XkdS0zb9mkEsFjCq5e8A8EGwr8P!1NGyCXHM47TQJjHhnG!HgI!fZJ*HxrNjdCNfez9 Uk*bQDttmc3*ZT5H6sA/Defence%20Fighter.bmp?dc=4675443628151103052
Mass: 60 tons
Firepower: Three linked moderately sized Mass Drivers.
Armour: Medium
Coverage: 90%
Maneuverability: High
Max Acceleration: 385 m/s
Although its slow speed keeps the Urtak Defender from being primary attack force, its gimbaled guns and high power rotational thrusters allow it the greatest coverage of all Fighters.
Rilek Attack Bomber
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TQDrAqMXLqMD*x8VB32wYw4LppiFQOIWzvwieqaJ1lV8!LgYXHRftT64nS!ta8JRdck!IAz!xR49cElRbcJiY3ZbR!lID8!OOkf !HHNiHLo5YPUWSogXWQ/Attack%20Bomber.bmp?dc=4675443627983160286
Mass: 90 tons
Firepower: Plasma bomb launcher.
Armour: Medium
Coverage: 5%
Maneuverability: Medium
Max Acceleration: 700 m/s
A technological advance created plasma bomb technology small enough to fit in a Fighter-sized craft. The Rilek Attack Bomber was born. While it’s slow-moving plasma bombs can be outrun by Fighters, they make sort work of Frigates and other Capital Ships.
Anyways, it all started out with the Carrier I built a couple RL months ago, well these of the types of ships that it has produced, though I have yet to make a list of all my forces (it’s one hell of a job with a nation my size) this is here to be shown when used. Archived if you will.
