Fighters Coming Soon!

*1 wing = 6 squadrons = 72 fighters
**1 squadron = 12 fighters
***These ‘Super Lasers’ are not capable of destroying planets. They are designed to take out capital ships but do to huge energy requirements, they require roughly thirty minutes charge time with standard power usage (non-combat situations), and roughly fifty minutes in combat situations.


ooc: Any questions/comments/concerns about the ships? I am looking to start RP’ing in space soon, and any suggestions would be helpful. And any ideas on how large my fleet should be? I’ve looked at some fleets in various RP’s here and some launch fleets that require about half that nations population. How does that work?

im apolt at your nations ships hollandia is a nation of sailors whe have one of the best ships money can buy

looking ok for a low funded sapce tech nation.... could put up a fight against the Empire or be a good ally. Nice work ;)

Thanks Exetonia! Does anyone have any suggestions how to make the ships better?

Many nations completely ignore their stats page, either undernumbering their nation or overnumbering it.

Thanks Chaos!


Hey anyone every seen that movie "Forest BUMP"?

bump

[OOC: Add some pictures. Either find some similar looking ships off the Internet or create your own. I find that that attracts more attention. (Oh. I'm a March 2003 nation recently resurrected by a mod, so I do have experience in storefronts and stat pages.)]

ooc: I have some pictures but does anyone know how to add them to the post?

In reply mode, you can click 'manage attachments'. Or, if you have them stored on the web somewhere, use the image tags (( [ img ]http://www.somewhere.com/image.jpg[ /img ] )).

OCC: I tought that starships are all computerized. Why do the need more men. 4000 men the bigger than the CVN-68 Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers of 3200 men. I tought computers where to lessen men on ships

ooc: very good point, I'll have to think about that. But I guess that it does have a lot of guns that need to be fired or at least maintained so thats some of the people...I don't know I guess.


Added Pictures!

Any other comments? Come on people! What do people think of the pictures?

OOC: ... Pictures don't work for me.

Hmmmm....They didn't work for me either, but they did at first. Does anyone know how to put them directly in the post itself?

upload them to an internet gallery then use this method Image url

The ships are pretty good . im sure you can improve them greatly if you put your mind to it

Ypu really can't do that anymore. Try going to www.imageshack.us to upload for pics there and link them to here.

There we go, the links should work now. Thanks for everyone's suggestions! Any suggestions on the ships stats?

much better. If u use my method, the images appear on the page tho ;)

Your crew sizes are abit off in comparison to your ship sizes..

Generally a ship with a approximate length of 800 meters, may have, at the most, 1000-1100 crew at most (you have 4000); factoring in propulsion, defensive, shuttle, and enviromental space, the crew is packed...

My largest capital SCV's at 1.8km barely top 5000 crew (yet your slightly smaller 1.7km vessel has 19,000+).

So you may want to consider decreasing your crew size in relation to your vessel sizes... Remember, in that space you need to factor in space for engineering, weapons, and enviromental space and equipment, as well as the space needed to house that many people.

Crew levels lowered. Thanks Tekania! Oh, Exetonia I did try to do that but it ended up just showing a link.

I think you have to enable images in posts in your profile/options section. Though you'll be able to see them then, you'll be relying on everyone enabling them. I don't know of many forums which have so many standard options disabled, but there you go.
