NationStates Jolt Archive

After alot of research on NS, i have realized that many nations have more or stronger ships than me. So, to put me back near the top, i've secretly been making my planet destroyer for 3 weeks real time.

Dimentions- L-30km
H-20km
W-25km

Power&engines

Engine- 8 uranium
Power- 2 plutonium cores
warp-4 engines


Quantom torpedo tubes- 1200
HeavyLasers-200
Beam Cannons- 600
AA pods-500
medium range hell cannons-1000
Pinpoint Defense Lasers- 2,500
Tractor beam-1
Flak Cannons-1200

*Planet Killer Weapon*

1 Heavy Ionized Particle Cannon.

Stats- This weapon, when fired, makes a direct hole through the planet, into the core. Then the core overheats, grows too hot, and causes a chemical reaction in which the planet explodes. This weapon takes 1 1/2 hours to recharge.( problems? T-gram me)

Shielding- dampener( absorbs blows and turns it into energy for the ship) second layer, disapater( blocks enemy attacks.)
Armor-yes-type-collapsed core trimantium( did a little bit of an experiment on my armor)

Crew: Officers- 2200
personel- 120,000
captain- 1
Cloak capability: no

Maximum cruising speed- warp 5
Maximum warp- warp 8.555

Docking Bay:
Fighters- 2,500
Bombers-1,500
interceptors-700
Supercruisers-10

I currently have 3 of these in service

hmm, no objections? This doesn't seem like the regular NS community i know.:p

ooc: I'm just wondering, whats that thing powered by?

how big is it? whats it mass? is that all the guns?

more infomation

arrghhh, i cant believe i forgot the dimentions! awwell. yes, thats all the weapons. This thing is powered by 2 plutonium power cores.

ok first off er..its a bit big for you to have 3 of them (my largest ship is 17Km and i only have one of them, tho it does transform into a humanoid thingy) this is a vary big estermate (basicly if your ship was a 30x20x25 and being a big retangle thing) the mass would be around:
15000000000000 tons but lets say its about 12.5 Trillion Tons, thats alot of money to spend on them (they would cost a few trillion to make and a few 100 billion to maintain) also its under crewed and really under gunned if its that big (my mothership may not have meny weapons but it has 2 Super Heavy Rail Cannons on it what can go though a planet depending on how dence the planet is (and a sh!t load of fighters), and my weapons are powerful anyway).

-OOC-
Oh, hush, Corpsac. We'll just tell him to send those things against Neo-Mekanta, specifically Minagoroshi, and the problem of too much mass will be solved. ^_^

Or whatever the problem with the ship is. I think it looks fine. Very tasty- I mean... good... looking...

... Yeah... ^_^

(You'll have to excuse me. I've started defining all large ships as "Minagoroshi Chow" ^_^)

Okay, first of all:
Ships dont always need huge crews. Dont forget about things like automation.

Second:
What does the tonnage matter? Its not like theres an intergalactic weigh-station along Milky-Way 94 or something

Third:
Why's it gotta be undergunned for it's size? Is there a specific formula for EVERYTHING determining how many weapons you can have on a ship? What if his weapons simply are bigger due to different tech?

I swear....too many people place the higher import upon Number Wank.

I do not believe that you need a big uber ship to be 'near the top'. My largest ship is half a kilometer and I have a formidable military. I can point out a few weaknesses in your ship:

Slow...and probily not maneuverable.
Not good point defences against fighters or other small crafts.
No apparent shielding.

I believe that it is a bit large, and 3 is a bit much. Overall, I rate it OK, meaning that I wouldnt own one, but I have no problem with anyone else having one, and RPing with it. You concentrated on making it a giant offencive weapon and left out some crucial points. I suggest that you get back to the blueprints, though. Ill be happy to help.

thanks alot vi2o and the black wolf order. At least not everyone is a mekanta :p

I think i'll go back and change a few things on my ships( oh, and i have a huge budget in military, so im sure i have enough to keep all 3 of them in commision. Cause im only gonna have 3.)

But my ships are still already made, just in for repairs ;)

bump for more criticizm :p

i dont number wank i was just say it seemed under gunned and under crewed

seemed so, but changed, nd it isnt like it isnt gonna be escorted by my other ships ;)

-OOC-
Yay. Side dishes. ^_^

And Corpsac has shown a tendancy towards thinking big in terms of guns.

Even if his weapons development is a bit behind Mekanta's. BTW, Corpsac, have you been using the modifications Mekanta gave you IC in your Plasma Bolters?

again, thank you mekanta, for stating that you are better than me. That's exactly what this thread was for ;) ( that was sarcasm, for the weakminded. :p)

hmm, guess there really isnt anymore bad points to my ships. Good, because in a few minutes i shall announce to the community that we have put our Planet Busters( like that name) into commission.

-OOC-
Oh, relax. I say that about everything.

Even Kanuckistan's Battleplates. If you've never seen them, well...

They're the "Boogiemen" of Space Tech. A lot of people are afraid of them. Lots of firepower and shields.

I've called THEM Minagoroshi chow. So yeah, everything big is automatically called Minagoroshi chow. Hell everything in space is Minagoroshi chow when you get down to it. So you're not special or anything.

And you can think of those comments as a warning to keep your forces away from Neo-Mekanta. ^_^

lmao, dont worry, i wont attack you, if you dont attack me. ( nd yay, im not special!! :p)

More automation=less crew you can use to repel boarders. Also, extensive automation is likely to break down (murphey's law with regards to complicated weapons, etc.)

Tonnage matters because it takes more energy to propel more mass. A ship like this is going to take a huge amount of power even to move, and even then it won't be able to go too fast. My ubership for instance (NOT Minagroshi chow, Mekanta. :D) can't move much at all, even though it has an incredibly large amount of energy to pump into the engines.

Also, people are thinking in terms of star-trek and star wars when you mention 'quantum torpedo launchers' and 'heavy lasers' and stuff. Perhaps they are large guns, but it still seems undergunned. Some stats on the various weapons may help out here.

In the space station/base GeneviaX, a t.v. crew was reporting live.

" This is Taura of the LB news, reporting live from space base/station Genevia X where emperor Jacab is about to comission the newest and possibly most prized ships to enter the space age in LB history. We go live now to the emperor, who just put the ships into commission."

The 3 gigantuous ships soared gracefully through space, making rounds around the station/base.

" A great day indeed." said Taura. The screen went blank

no i dont think big in number terms (why elce would my mothership have less then 300 weapons i think), and i knew there was a reason i was going to be doing a Fleet upgrade you upgrade the Plasma Bolters

...Okay, this is starting to drive me nuts. Who/What are Minagoroshi? Do they eat metal or something?

...Okay, this is starting to drive me nuts. Who/What are Minagoroshi? Do they eat metal or something?

They're an evil nanite swarm that consumes anything they come into contact with, turning the ship/person/whatever into more Minagoroshi.

...Damn. That..uh...Sucks.

Sounds like some crazy evil jazz I dreamt up one night in a not-so-pleasant nightmare. (Except, I think what I dreamt was more based off of Homeworld: Cataclysm)

-OOC-
And she's quite proficient at blowing things up and negating defenses.

Imagine being surrounded by heavy weapons turrets, but you can't see or sense the ships firing at you. Minagoroshi can synthesize weapons systems in the dead of space and use them to waste anyone who puts up a fight.

Woah, hmmm, maybe i should acquire some of these, nanites. :p lmao. Nah, im good for now. later on perhaps.
