Galactic Alliance Ships (NOT A STORE)
The Galactic Alliance, as many of you know, is building its own inter-stellar combat fleet. We do this so that we do not have to rely on members to do stuff for us, and so that we can stop a member if he's doing something wrong. The ships are built on designs either designed by the GA, or donated by GA members. The problem is that many members don't know the specifications of the ships, since they were not in on the design phase. Here, we will list each GA owned ship, its specs, and who designed/donated it.
Please, if you've donated a ship, post its specs and a picture.
GA Command Hierarchy:
GA Fleet Command (Made up of three GA Admirals) (General control of entire fleet)
GA Sector Fleets (Each commanded by one Admiral) (One sector is 5 GA systems)
GA Battle Groups (Sub-divisions of Sector Fleets, commanded by captain of lead ship) (One battle group in each GA system)
GA ships (commanded by captain of ship)
The military of the GA is completely independant from the military of its members, LRR Captains are not enlisted in the GA military unless they've retired from LRR service. Klonor people on GA ships can't join the Klonor military until they leave the GA military. This is so that member nations can't use the GA military for their own gain. The Fleet Command is subject to orders from the GA as a whole, but the Admirals are not subject to the command of any individual nation.
The fleets of the individual members are under the control of it's own government and military. The only time the GA has any say of its movement is if it is stated in the Articles.

lol Garrison use Ion cannons, plasma canons, and Particle beams as New Bisons, and Im developing a Death Ray.
Sorry, the GA doesn't purchase ships. You could donate them if you like, or you could sell us the designs and production rights.
If you don't want to give us the prod. rights you could sell them to a member and he can donate them (we've done that with some tech that wasn't allowed to be given freely due to some other stuff), but the GA wont buy ships.

Nothing is for sale here. These are GA ships. I'm listing them so GA members can see what we have, and so that if we ever get into a war we can tell what ships the GA can use without searching through hundreds of pages where people might have donated ships.
NOT A STORE
Najic heavy Arospace fighter/bomber
http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/images/concept_shipdesign.jpg
It's design has been left open enough to be outfitted with most GA members weapon tech.
It has been fitted with the newest forth generation SSFT drives which has the powere rating nearing that of a frigate classed ship,it is also fitted with our first generation short hop hyperdrives which is good for 6 100,000 km jumps befor the powere shunts must be replaced.
Capabile of atmospheric flight landing and take offs with lowere wings in the locked out possion.
Cost: 150 RU's
Build Time: 30 days
Maneuverability: High
Acceleration: 800 m/s^2
Max Velocity: 1000 m/s^2
Coverage: 48%
Mass: 180 tons
Somtaaw model weapons
2 rail drivers
1 plasma bomb launcher
1 underside turret Pulsar cannon.
6 missile mounts
1 torpiedo mount
How sad is that Garrison II's best craft is only usefull for abouth 2 years or so.
I though I had said so.
The Victory Destroyer says 20 years
I would hardly call it his best. unless he fixed that after we fire the main gun we have no power for 3 min problem other then a butt load of fighters it's got a misascule defence system.
I Didn't realise that you meant his "best" ship.
For entry into the GA, we will donate 6 Dagger-class Space Superiority Fighters. The Sean Empire created them, we brought 12 of them off him. 6 are available for GA use.
OOC:
They were TIEs, but I don't like the whole "stealing from Star Wars" thing.
Well might not be his best ship, but some of the lifspans seam a bit short unless he can wip the buggers out in no time.
You don't need to offer anything to get into the GA, but the ships are appreciated. If you'll post an application in the GA thread (and approve the constitution) you'll be in like flint
(I don't really know what "in like flint" means, I just read it in a comic)
GAD Hecate
The new GAD Hecate class of destroyers is quickly becoming the flagship of GA battle groups. More heavily armed than the Orion, the Hecate also carries over 150 combat spacecraft and a crew of 10,000. The GTD Aquitaine is a superb example of this new ship class, serving as the flagship of the 3rd Fleet, based in the Ross128 system.
Class: Hecate
Type: Destroyer
Crew: 10,000 persons
Troop: 5,000
Fighter: 160 fighter craft
Power: Jimathon Ministar Engine
Weapon: 5 Heavy Beam Cannons, 24 Advanced Laser Turrets, 6 Flak Guns
FTL Propulsion: Intra-System Sub-Space Generator
http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_hecate/lgpic.jpg
we will donate 2 Kryptonite CLass ships over the next 5 years (days)
http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/kcbp.gif
Length: 799m, Crew: 200, Weapons: 100+ point-defense turrets, 89 dual LASER turrets, 12 Rail cannons, and the whole ship is one big farad system. Defense is armor and Starwars-type deflector shields. Powered by Chlorophusion fuel cells, and has space-fold ability, with a hyperdrive for backup. Can hold 36 fighters, and 2-4 corvettes. Is atmosphere capable, and can land on flat ground
The GA greatly appreciates your donation (that ship looks nifty)
What's a farad system?

So the entire ship is a really big gun.
So the entire ship is a really big gun.basically... it's got a total power of about 100 petawatts, defensive or offensive. That number may/may not be realistic... that's based on a phaser on a star trek ship doing 10 pw... if i am way off scale, tell me... but basically, it can block a death star's superlaser, or rip the armor off a mon cal cruiser, if not completely cripple it to implosion. read that link for more details.
BUMP for any new GA ship developments and donations to be posted
I'd like to donated a absolution class starship.
ooc: It looks like the ship from toonami
ic: I have explorer version and battle versions.They both use z-space engines and have deflecktor sheild. The battle version has 6 HIGH-POWERED Shreeder beams(HIGHLY DANGEROUS)and 200 zaku fighters.The explorer version has advanced reasearch equipment in the fighter bay area.
Dracon beams? You chould really use Shredders. Dracons have been modified to cause more pain when a subject is shot, but the modifications make it leff effective.

Dontgonearthere will donate one of its five Piledriver class planetbusters. Fully equiped and crewed(If needed crew can be split up and moved to other ships to comply with GA rule about multi-national crews, but if you want to replace the fighter pilots I suggest you leave some with the ship GLA fighters are a little...odd). Along with 2 prefab bases, 20 prefab bunker systems, 2000 FLASH light tanks, 1500 Stumpy medium tanks, 750 Goliath Ultra Heavy Tanks and 500,000 GLA Troopers.
Piledriver class planetbusters
6,000,000,000,000 per ship
http://www.tadesigners.com/~savant/piledriver.jpg
Designed as flying weapons platforms, Piledrivers are not fast, but they are lethal, the four main guns can, on full power, crack a planets crust, hence its classification. The six top/bottomside guns are for long/mid range capital ship combat. The many small bateries (a battery is five guns) are for short range capital combat as well as short/mid range fighter defence, although it is advised that you bring support ships instead of relying on one ship to defend against many small fast targets.
STATS:
Length: 25 miles
Width: 3 miles
Height: 1 mile
Crew: 25,000,000
Armament:
4 ultra-heavy cannons (forward mounted)
6 L/M Heavy laser cannons
5000 light laser batteries
1000 ion cannons
3500 AMM batteries
26 Large missile launchers
Defence:
Event Horizon armour
50 GC5000 Ray/Particle shield generators

The Justice class is not specialized, but designed for many eventualities, its not especialy fast or armoured, but it is capable of unassisted atmospheric flight with no modifications. Two L/R lasers as well as a S/M laser for fighters topside, with two more S/M lasers bottom, a fighter bay runs the length of the ship, and the two front 'prongs' are solid Quadtanium, designed for ramming.
STATS:
Length: 1 mile
width: .3 mile
height: .1 mile
Crew: 2,000,000 (NI)
Armament:
3 L/R cannons
3 S/M cannons
50 AMM batteries

Well, they have same names, but are, like, lighter versions of them. That "heavy beam cannon", for example, is heavy in our standards, but probably not in your standards.
[OOC: Well, I think laser turrets are pretty common. I copied flak guns from you when I developed my ship, I'm not too good in designing fictional spaceships.. :) Well, I guess there is a possibility that they are different? And I guess beam cannons are pretty common too, so they don't have to be the same as yours, as I didn't even copy them from you :P]
I was just checking, cause I've never seen anybody else use beam cannons (who'd you copy them from?)
And I have no qualms with you using my tech (I donated it to the GA, you can use any of it) I was just confused because the guns are physically huge and wouldn't have fit on a ship that size.
And I didn't design my ships either, I stole them from the game FreeSpace (I love that game!)
Flak is very feasable when you think abought it. Especauly when you take in to acount that most space nations use fighters and at thos speads you just have to put the shot infront of the fighters momuntum will do the rest.

Well, our AMM tech on most of our ships is original I belive, basicaly we launch lots of small missiles and hopefully detonate whatever was launched at us.
Were working on a sort of 'chaff' for laser weapons, launching a missile packed with little shreds of reflective material, or sand, or something, that would break up/deflect the beam.
Kekkosmaa
14-09-2003, 20:58
OOC: Well, actually, GII was using "particle beam cannons" in his ships, and those were in this very thread.. I'm not sure where I got those beam cannons from, but I'm pretty much sure there are more people using beam cannons and such.

Well, here's a ship for ---->GA Members<-----(read the definition section carefully). Sorry I can't post the picture straight here.
Technomage Scout:
http://www.deviantart.com/view/2989794/
Doesn't look like much, but is a real gem from the inside. Equipped with the most finest sensors and sensor jammers Technomages possess, it's extremely difficult to detect it. It is merely just 50 meters long, but with some classified(Classified, as in; This technology we give only for those GA members who ask for it) reactor and engine technology it has range over 27.8 AU's(Astronomical Units). It has some, but not much offensive weaponry, two (fusion)lasers in the front.
(OOC: I have the permission to use the picture(I made it).)
The Empire of Valinon is willing to lease certain space docks at our major shipyards facility orbiting Proxima Centauri and Prometheus Centauri to the Galactic Alliance for ship construction use. The Empire will provide necessary personnel needed for the project and also be willing to contribute a significant amount of both raw and refined materials. Finally, His Majesty's Imperial Star Armada is at the disposal of the Galactic Alliance, although at this time we are not entirely willing to release technicial information or designs to the Alliance.
Sincerely,
Count Viktor Leopold
First Minister for His Majesty's Foreign Affairs

Well actually, if you're going hard-science fiction/relativly near future, sand-packed missiles are a viable threat; you wouldn't have energy shields, and the sand cloud would ruin your lasers and any other optics and most remote sensors on your hull.
The Empire of Valinon is willing to lease certain space docks at our major shipyards facility orbiting Proxima Centauri and Prometheus Centauri to the Galactic Alliance for ship construction use. The Empire will provide necessary personnel needed for the project and also be willing to contribute a significant amount of both raw and refined materials. Finally, His Majesty's Imperial Star Armada is at the disposal of the Galactic Alliance, although at this time we are not entirely willing to release technicial information or designs to the Alliance.
Sincerely,
Count Viktor Leopold
First Minister for His Majesty's Foreign Affairs
OOC: Do we have a forum's yet?

The Forum's been up for a while.
Technomages, your ship will be added.
Valinon, the GA has its own shipyards and its own fleets. If you like you can donate ships to the fleet (they'll no longer be your and you can't use them) or you can keep your own fleet and let the GA use the GA fleet.
I have nine Hyperions I'd like to donate(see below)

Indeed, how about a billion micro meteor holes in the side of your ship :twisted:
In any case, our ships mount a Particle/Energy shield, so sand would hurt much.
