The new Largentian capital ship:

http://xpi.org.uk/~swma/archives/imperial/battleships/04/eclipse.gif

The mighty vessel was 20.5 kilometers long, over twice the length of a Super-class ship, and almost as long as 11 Imperial Star Destroyers. It had a black hull, designed to inspire dread and hopelessness in every opponent. The main weapon of the Eclipse was its spine-mounted superlaser. The superlaser was powerful enough to render worlds uninhabitable. The ship also had shields and a hull so strong that it could ram most any ship without hesitation. The first Eclipse, the prototype, was destroyed (just barely after being completed) over the moon Tallon X. The EclipseII has just been comissioned and is headed to the Cancri, Largents closest planet to the Solar System.

Is that so? Did you read all the specs? Did you know my own weapon systems were installed? I don't care if someone has the same hull.

Why do people use that thing so much? It's UGLY.
Though the Superlaser is kinda neat, but my SHotgun is better.

Because it fit to my current needs and my old one was getting out of date. Pluse, I have two new capital ships, this one was just more recently comissioned.

Thats wonderful but could it take those two ships and the entire fleet that is always at their side, by the way, which is increasingly growing....

Um... If its 20.5 km, then its the length of almost 12 Impstars, not just 11... :rolleyes:

And at least make up something original... Use the ship, but at least with a damned different name...

And this should be NS... Since this is future-tech...

I like the name personally, and I did outfit it with Largentian weapon systems. Now that dowsn't mean guns. The missles and most of the defenses are mine.
