Antaeus Unleased on the World

The Celtic Clan Empire of the O Faolains proudly presents its first Adaptive Cruiser.

HMS Antaeus

HMS Antaeus is the first of a few battle cruisers, that thanks to new advanced technology, will be virtually indestrucatble to enemy
attacks, except of course continuous assaults*.

We hope Antaeus will aid in the end of conflicts in our region, and hopefully the world at large, though we know the second will be a little more difficult. Though she is designed for war, we hope to use her more as a deterrent to other nations. She is called adaptive due to her ability to adapt to the varying surroundings and theatres that she may be put into. Also she has many roles being a combined Aircraft Carrier Battle Ship and Assault Ship. Thanks to the Creation Engine she can also fix herself, theoretically without human intervention, though naturally we feel Technicians, from Mini-tech, should always be on board, even if only to keep an eye on the engine. The Ship is driven by a Fission reactor using Plutonium rather than Uranium, due to its relative abundance in The Celtic Clan Empire.



Statistics of interest:
Top speed: 50 knots
Compliment:1,500 (Not including combat staff)
Displacement:
Armament:
2 Platoon Arkalas (20 Men)
4 Batteries of three 283mm (Rifled Gun Diameter) Cannon
1 "Spartan" Anti-Submarine Missile system
6 Torpedo Tubes Forard
2 Torpedo Tubes Aft
4 Starboard and Port side Sentinel Anti-aircraft Missile Systems,
2 Goal Keeper Anti-Air Defense systems
2 Vulture Strike Fighter
2 Fenian Strike Helicopter
1 Martyr Transport Helicopter

Two more Adaptive cruisers will be finished and tested by the end of the week (RL).

You were supposed to develope the Nano-Technology, that's all! This Ship was built by us for us, you were going to have your own version, but then you left the Alliance! Don't try and pull a fast one!

You realize that this is future tech, right? There is no way in hell the modern techies will recognize it. After all, it completely defeats their OMG TRIMARAN navies.

I was thinking about making an Anteaus cruiser. Looks like you beat me to it though. :)

Good to see someone else who's played that game.

I love that game, I just can't complete the last Level, I get half way and the lot blows up. Any tips

The Ship is Future tech in many ways, but not in others, I am considdering removing the Torp tubes and Depth charges, that way making it more attackable. The Anti-air, though, has to stay. If I remove the Goal Keepers and Torpedoes, yet keep the Spartan system, (Only fires three missiles and they are none guided) would that be less Godmod or not.

You know what I'm going to adapt my Adaptive Cruiser so I can use it now.

Statistics of interest:
Top speed: 25 knots
Compliment:1,000 (Not including combat staff)
Displacement:
Armament:
1 Platoon Arkalas (10 Men)
4 Batteries of three 283mm (Rifled Gun Diameter) Cannon
1 "Spartan" Anti-Submarine Missile system
4 Sentinel Anti-aircraft Missile Systems, (2 each side)
2 Vulture Strike Fighter

Two more Adaptive cruisers will be finished and tested by the end of the week (RL).

Hows that

A repair scarab loitering on deck can be very valuable, as can a behemoth with twin missile launchers on deck as well. Other land vehicles are mostly useless. Scout ahead with hovercraft and use the vulture if you've got to. It's extremely fast and very useful for scouting.

On topic: The future tech aspect would be the nanotech used in it. The creation reactor is future tech, by most people's reckoning. But if you take that away, it becomes less of an adaptive crusier and more of a normal cruiser.

It's not godmodded either way though.

OOC:What game is it from,seem mildly familar

IC:From the Science Directorate:

An interesting design,worthy of further development,If we could negotiate a satifactory trade agreement,Tra Lian Scientist might be able to adapt it for different uses.

My Copy still is Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising.

Thanks

I'll remove the Nano-Technology, Keep the Sentinels, keep the Spartan and up grade that to five Missiles (Based on Norwegian Penguin Anti-Sub) and naturally the Four Batteries, that's what makes Antaeus Antaeus. 2 Vultures too.
