CCNN Report:

With the thread of the Disciples of the Red Dragon moving back into this quadrant of the Milky Way, the aging Capsule Flagship Kryptonite is crying out to be replaced.

Capsule Corporation is currently trying to design a replacement... one of the same power and ability without as much Chloro-Borg Technology and with more consolidation and armor.

This will also be the first time Capsule Corporation is considering design of a ship that may be over 1 kilometer in length, although it is still undecided. CEO Jacen Capsule has requested the significantly larger size because the Corporate Military need a symbol of morale.

More to come as this develops.

OOC: haha, I finally caved in... I'm not gonna do a Superfortress or anything... definately nothing longer than a mile.

OOC: psst, go ahead and post ideas for my new flagship here, please ;)

You...complete me..

You...complete me..??

Make it rounded than your other ships.

no longer than 1km? aww... whers the fun in that... Its FUN to send massive spaceships carrening across the galaxy to their dooms!

anyway, luck on your project, if you need anything from us (ie tech, designs...) ask

yeah, but I don't do the whole ubership scene, all my ships are practical and superior. Massive ships serve no purpose whatsoever.

I am thinking of actually including the Farad System, and turning it into kind of a modular design, like the SDF-1 from Robotech/Macross.I'll see what i can come up with.

How can you say massive ships serve no purpose... have you ever heard of artificial eclipses? or guns big enough to blow up a planet?

Or at least remove all possibility for human life.

LOL THis ship will do that just fine, if I have the Farad system installed.

Hmm... OK, I have an idea... any of you who saw my liberator design a while back, the one I scrapped and gave to Ardor cuz it was too advanced for me at thwe time, I think I'll redo that design... with a little more... umm... fun ;)

2 Modular hulls, that can fire 2 seperate Farad systems, or shift around to become one BIG gun... ooh yeah, a ship-sized weapon lol

Make it have 4 hulls and 4 farad systems.

no, that'd be overkill... I'm thinking 2 hulls that can split in two, and those split hulls can form together to make 1 big gun.

You said to put ideas down. Nice picture.

BTW look at your LiquidMetal^2 Armor Technology thread.

We will feed your crew if you let 50 of our citizens join you

BA PAI: Why would you want to be with us?

I think I'm onto something here! You can see the hulls closed in the first pic, Open in dual-firing mode in the second, and shifted into one big Farad Capacitor in the 3rd pic.

Any suggestions as to textures and weapons placements etc? i still need to add Laser Turret banks and maybe some more heavy Rail Cannons... as you can probably see, the 4 I have on this model already, are not mound to the hull in a forward-firing arc only, instead they are actually on an omnidirectional shock-mount turret.

I like. The ship currently looks like one big gun. *assumes it's meant to*
But for something that long you have to make it at least a kilometre if not bigger.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/fs3.gif

You will rarely find it in that form... that only comes out if they gotta destroy (make uninhabitable, possibly destabalize) a planet, or wipe out some reeaaally big ship or mass of force or something.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/fs2.gif
It will look like this 99.9% of the time.

I'm thinking... 1600 meters (1 mile) long... maybe a hare less, like 1550. Sound about right? This ship doesn't need to be that big...

we need men in space.

we need men in space.hmmm. i don't know if you want to have a finger in some advanced tech like this... it could bring you more trouble than you want.

Not to own it, just to send some men with you

OOC: Are you going to be a modern world nation or a future space nation?

The former

Then don't bother RPing with future nations... keep to yourself and the other modern nations... you definately do not want to make any space natrion have to raid you with big old flying battleships and llaser cannons and photon torpedoes ;)

Jusyt something I picked up... I have 1 Modern Techn nation and one Future tech nation, works fine that way, less confusing.

Umm... no. The Kryptonite has too many sensitive items on it... and we're not retiring it, just revoking its flagship status. It is still an excellent ship, just no longer a state-of-the-art piece of CC Technology.

OOC: I wonder why... :) BTW, where is your current flagship located, and what kind of escort does it have?

OOC: I wonder why... :) BTW, where is your current flagship located, and what kind of escort does it have?Umm it is currwently located with it's battlegroup, on a patrol about 39,000 ly from sol ;)

I seriously doubt your brand new nation has any sort of technology that can reach it, let alone attack it.

OOC: Did I ever say I was a NATION? I am a group of intergalactic pirates, and represent a few guilds. I am well aware of my weaknesses (IE outdated, usually converted, warships) and strengths (IE willingness to get killed for profit). Also, I am Sozialdarwinismers, after the planet was destroyed, they basically split up into the galaxy as pirates. And Sozialdarwinismers was started by a small corporation in the Attican Empire on Earth, unrelated to Attica, of course. Of course, the best any of the pirate groups could send is a Battlecruiser created from a converted freighter. That doesn't mean that will not try!

OOC: LOL First off, I'm sorry, you didn't make that clear, by default I recognize a nation as a nation, not as a character or a guild :P and second... Why would you? You have no IC reason to attack one of my Battlegroups... and in case you missed it, I edited my post:

OOC: Because, the pirates would try anything to capture a ship or two. Even if they have only .001% chance of succeeding, they need to constantly capture new ships in order to replace the older ones.

Basically, the Galactic Pirates is not a nation, but it is the IC representative (IE, the player) that portrays various pirate guilds around the galaxy, the majority of which began when a planet was destroyed, leaving a small fleet of ships without any home to call their own. They aren't a 'nation', just several pirate guilds. Just to infirm the thought.

OOC: ROFL These Pirates, who the Capsule Corporation have never seen before, are gonna travel to the core of the galaxy to attack one of the most advanced ships in the entire corporate military to try to STEAL it?! hah! I beleive your chance of success is 0.000000000000000000000001% Surely you must be joking! If you're gonna try to steal one of our ships, try something smaller! :)

OOC: Well, I never claimed that all of the guild's leaders were smart. Nor are all of the captains. Besides, they might just try to take one of the escort vessels.

LOL it's not an escort vessel, it's a Battlegroup. The Kryptonite is merely the leader... there are many powerfuls hips that would not let you near it. You would not survive... especially if you have any shock-sensitive equipment on board, such as a reactor! The Rail Cannons and missiles and lasers from all the ships around would have you gone before you could even get a shot off at the Kryptonite.
[/boast] ;)

Hmm... i guess... but like I said, they are in the CORE of the galaxy.. and a serious note, in case you haven't read my other threads, the Kryptonite and most of its battlegroup have Chloro-Borg Technology (a variant on Borg Tech)

Umm... I guess, telegram me with the link when it happens... but be warned... you're in for a butt-whomping...

Current Battlegroup around the Kryptonite:

CCBG-1

1 Kryptonite Attacker Foldship: CCSS Kryptonite

1 Kolob Class Carrier Foldship: CCSS Kolob

6 Omni-Class Hyperships: CCSS Legacy, CCSS Aiwa, CCSS Skipper, CCSS Alto, CCSS Luna, CCSS Kershaw.

4 Tachyon-Class Hyperships: CCSS Tachyon [Attack configured], CCSS Comprasa [Dropship Configured], CCSS Israel [Scout Configured], CCSS Northgate [Explorer Configured]

The Following are not chloro-borg adapted, but are still part of the battlegroup:
36 CCF-7, 36 CCF-16, 36 CCF-11, 36 Legolas (Actually, 4 of each of these are Chloro-Borg modified)

We at the brotherhood would like to know if we could Buy a copy of this ship. If you agree we will help fund the cinsytruction of the original as well as paying for one

-Commander Slavik

Hmm... There is a great deal of technology going into this... but 2 would be cheaper to make...

We were figuring a cost near 2.2 Trillion, but 2 ships would be only... 3.5 trillion. yes, this would be very economical. If you wish to split the cost even, call your half your ship, then that'd be great! A win-win situation! But of course... there may be a few... sensetive differences, but ntohing noticable.

Thank you for your offer, please respond if you would like to accept. of course, both would be buit side by side at Triton City Shipyards.

Stats for the Yet-To-be-named Flagship:

The split hulls can also shift around to form one large Farad System Capacitor. Other weapons include 4 Shock-Turret mounted Mk IV Rail Cannons (55km/s x100kg), 14 Mk II Rail Cannons (100km/s x100kg) (10 Forward, 4 Aft), 8 Banks of 16 Dual 5MW LASER turrets, 8 Heavy Sub-Farad Cannons (the blue dots on the tips of the forward hull, generate energy similar to the Farad system, but only fires a tunnel of energy forward, massive armor-piercing ability), 18 Various missile tubes, and a few hundred close-defense plasma-bolt cannon turrets.
Defenses: A very thick armor, made from triton-mined alloys, a Xanthal Type VIII Shield, Chloro-Borg Regenerative Abilities in some areas, and of course the powerful Farad system.
Atmosphere Capable: Yes. Landing Capable: Yes.

Modular Hull modes:

OOC:

Kane: I went ahead and started the construction thread, just cuz I want to get on with this. If you do not wish your ship to be built, just say so and I'll remove you from the deal, but I assumed the 50/50 deal would be fine.

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1935073#1935073

I would pay for all of it

I would pay for all of itALL? like MINE too? oooh are you sure there's no catch or anything?

No catch
I am just rich

Wow, post that on the other thread, let everyone know! Maybe that will decrease production time... (Do you do 1 day=1 year? I do, if I'm not in a crucial rp... let's have the launch tomorrow, k?)

I forgot to ask, do you want any changes or anything to yours? Like a any special accomodations or technologies? Armament changes?

No changes I will update it

Secret IC:
A probe carrying a message from the Totenkopf (Death's Head) Pirate Guild heads towards the Capsule Corporation's fleet.

'We are willing to trade one Plebe class Tanker/Transport for one of your older ships.'

OOC: Plebe transport is over 2km long, and has a massive storage capacity:

We have no need of such a transport, but we will trade just because we're nice. We'll send you one of our older Kryptonite Mass Production Variants.

Thanks for your business :)
