Pretty good, nothing really wrong with any of it as far as I can tell. How you can afford it now I don't know on the other hand.

Looks pretty good. Most of the stuff here just needs refinement and experience.
Sorry if this seems like forum-whoring, but heres a link to my ships:
http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showtopic=24
(Pic intensive, watch out if your 56k :P)
Most of them are generaly accepted as 'Okay', except the Piledriver, which some people ignore because its 'OMG TEH BIG!', even though it was RPed out properly and blah blah blah.
Oh, and...
steal my ships, I breaka you legs.

This would be good if you were a larger nation, but, let's face it. Your ships have way too many crewmen. You don't have enough people!

I suggest you make a different fleet design/tactic for right now, then put the ships you mentioned before in later when your population is larger.

For Example: Make a fleet that emphasises some sort of defensive ability. In otherwords, don't expect to invade and occupy a planet any time soon. Just concentrate on defensive ships (course, defensive ships doesn't mean you can't have big weapons on them...there is always defending by attacking...)

The DA is bigger. 'Course it also hasn't been used yet. I still want someone to tell me how he's paying for this. His pop. is like 9 million right now! The ships are good, but they'll cost an arm and a leg.

Of course, 18 Piledrivers have been finished since I started making them, some of them are old, some were sold, and you can own one now...DAMMIT!
Im hijacking somebodies thread.
*beats himself repeatedly with a stick*

Yes, as to his ships, maybe he only has one or two of each (except the small ones).
hehe, he could crew a Piledriver if he wanted to have no other ships in his navy :)

That would some it up. How come I got the pain in the neck responses when I unveiled my flagship. You should consider you're self lucky.

'Cause I started making them before you existed :P

Not you, I was talking to Dark Brotherhood.

I was a bit misled by the quote :P

I know, my bad.

Your flagship is also forty kilometers long. His ships are no more than five kilometers long.

Your flagship probably has more volume than DB's entire military.

Anyway, to get back on topic, your ships don't look too bad, DB. They're a bit large for your size, but they aren't so overproportioned with your likely production capabilities that they're godmoding. It's close though. I wouldn't suggest having too many of those big capital ships until your nation is a bit larger.

Weapons wise they look fine, although I'm not a big OOC fan of SW tech.

The main thing is crew. Your big capital ships have, for the most part, too much. Fitting 300,000 crew on a 4 kilometer ship isn't going to be feasible unless you pack them in like sardines. You should probably cut that down, perhaps to 60,000 or so. or 100,000 at the absolute most.

Edit: I see Goa-Uld also accounted for the crew problem before me. Curses. And Kudos go Goa-Uld.

*pokes CF*
I see you still post. Why arent you on the IM!?! I MISS YOU!
And so on.
I didnt see that 300,000 crew.
My Piledriver has a crew of about 50,000, and that might be overkill.

ah ok thanks everyone for their comments, I have maybe a few frigates and and a Ulic Cruiser, these are just my plans. Editing my crew now, thanks:)

bump for comment on ship numbers in the fleet.

Still kinda high.
Just to give you an example, my Millenium class battleship is just under 5km long. IT has a crew of 5,000.
You could prolly make this lower, or say part of the ship is automated. You could get away with two thosand, maybe.

Nice ships. As other people have said, a bit big for a nation your size but that won't be much of a problem.
