Capsule Corporation in Research/OOC: Ship designs?
CCNN Report:
Capsule Corporation has announced that it is researching Space-Folding Technology for their new flagship, estimated to be deployed in 10-12 years. They do not know yet if they can fit a prototype drive into the ship, considering one of Capsule's Production motto's is that they say they can build a powerful ship in less than 800 meters... If CC is going to build a ship with a space-fold drive... it would need to be at least 1200m long, at current technologies at least.

i would like to buy one when you make it
OOC: I just shot out these two pics of a concept model I have for my flagship... comments?

Does it have to be space-fold technology, or can it be some other kind of FTL tech?
well there are certain weak points just from the design, the parts where you are connecting the inner part to the nacell looking things could be a very easy target for all ships, and cutting those off would certainly destroy the ship.
The hulls on the side aren't just nacelles, they're actually the bulk of the ship's internals...
If you read my Farad Project thread, you'll see that the farad system requires 2 seperate hulls... how to link those hulls together is the problem. what would you reccommend?

could you fit the two hulls into one BIG one? or maybe just reinforcing the connections between them...

i jsut used the nacel term cause thats what they kinda look like. I would be very interested in helping you to design a hull for space folding ability. for all of my ships have that ability, and while the space folding akes much less time with a deul hull but it can be accomplished wiht single hulls by uping the power output on you field generators.
the power output for the field generators must be at least 4 times what they are on a deul hull ship. for the extra power i suppose you use plasma energy generation cores.
You missed it...

Read that... the Farad system is a weapon/shield
It could double as a capacitor for the over-sized space-fold drive. It charges, then sends the energy into the fold drive, giving it then energy it needs to fold.

oh, you use a different way to open the rift/fold/wateva, my meathod involves creating a gravity field in a certain spot and usign energy to punch a whole in timespace. takes a whoel heck of a lot more time to do
Heres a suggestion, instead of having three connected hulls, skin over the space between the side hulls and have a single large lozenge shaped hull. some of the space can be a hangar for space fighters, some missile cells, and more a big freefall stadium for your men to enjoy themselves in when on deployment.
Does it have to be space-fold technology, or can it be some other kind of FTL tech?

that what this whole thing is about, he has designed a fold capable ship and asking for segestions.
and heres one for him, you could possibly use a protective skin that moves and join the hulls for protection when in normal ransit, and seperates whe in fold travel
OK let me rephrase the statements of both threads.
I am designing a flagship, you got that part. We use Hyperspace (SW TECH) for FTL currently, but we never build ships big enough or powerful enough to to use Space Fold. We also have a new weapons system technology that we want to use, and that is our first priority of this ship... Space-Fold would be a bonus, if we could get it to work.
The weapons system demands a twin hull, designed to be used like a sort of capacitor.

That pic is an example of how the system charges.
A Fork-Shaped ship would work too... or maybe I could have the command module have the strength to clam the 2 hulls together when the weapon is not in use, and then the hulls would lock in place.
Hmmm.... so it needs the gap between hulls for the energy fields? so skin the top and bottom over and leave the center between them an empty tunnel. that way you have support over the whole length of the hull, and it looks neater, while still keeping the space free. and if you make the skin double hulled and big enough, thats living quarters and storage space, maybe a load of hydroponics for emergency use if your Life Support electromechanical CO2 scrubbers are shot to hell.
... The weapon needs to have room to arc out plasma into a barrier... so it needs to be pretty open-endeded.
i think a fork-shape would work good, or something like the SDF-1.
mua hah hah, I played around with my model a little :)

As you can see, this design is a crazy weapons platform, 799 meters long.
Obvious weapons: Farad System, 81 Dual Heavy LASERs (Turret mounted), 14 Heavy railguns (forward facing), and countless close-combat weapons for anti-starfighter.
It has a large docking bay, which can hole up to 36 Fighters and 2 Tachyon-Class Deployment Ships
It is built to be able to enter an atmosphere, using heavy repulsorlift thrusters to keep it aloft in the sky, or above water/ground. It is also built straight enough and sturdy enough to land on the ground.
This design will also employ the Chlorofusion organic technology, along with a spacefold drive. Main engineering is in the central hull.
The bridge somehow looks very vulnerable. As if you could blast it right of the vessel.
the bridge is conjectural... I just threw a disc-shaped object onto the center hull and called it the bridge... ideas?

Couldn't you just install really powerful shield generators with their
own independent power source? Then you need not worry about the
bridge being vulnerable.

Do you have space fold technology?
Do you have space fold technology?yes... we have the tech to do it, just not enough power to make it happen in our small ships... but now we have a way to do it :) more to come...

Can you give me any information on a ship called " LEGACY " ?

Are you willing to sell your space fold technology or production
rights to it.
