NationStates Jolt Archive

To all nations of the Galatic Community. Our nation has gone under a major change, and the old ships of the empire have become outclassed. We wish for new ship designs, but not just one ship, we need every single class of ship within the empire to be changed. When the plans are done, to all nations and orginizations that helped will go 50 billlion Standered credits. ((Each)) They should be unique however, and we will NOT accept ships that are from a storefront, although extentions of such ships are allowed. Ships classes are as follows.

THe Emperors Personal: This should be the largest ship, armed with some sort of special weapon, and able to hold 100 thousand warriors.

Command Ships: THese should be similar in power to the Famous Super Star Destroyers, yet have weapons be able to be edited for A CLan Warlords Plesure

Destroyer: Chosen ((THe C'tan))

Battle Ship: Chosen ((Xessmithia))

Frigate: Chosen ((Jordixia))

Gunship: Able to dish out a large amount of fire, while not being as heavily armoured,it should be able to take on larger ships before dieing.

Corrvett: Chosen ((DeamonlordEnigma))

Transports: These should be able to defend themselves for a small amount of time, but should be mostly used to carry troops, most of their defence being armour.

Starcraft Carries: Chosen ((Al-Imvadjah)).

Weapon systems should be editable.

OOC Ok, For every nation that helps, you shall get 50 billion, each. Work together, use edited ships from your storefront, mix them with other peoples ships, work it out. These ships will be able to be sold by me, and you shall give me all production rights. Its a bnig bost to your econ.

I have one for the Corvette class. It was originally classed as a battlecruiser (by DLE standards, it was a battlecruiser). However, recently we've decided to move on and currently plan to only continue it in service until our new corvette is designed to replace it.

http://www.freewebs.com/demonlordenigma/DLEMB10.JPG

Soybayun DLEMB10 Series:
Crew: 8 - Pilot, Nav, Tactical, Engineer, Doctor, 3 Technicians
Passenger: 12
Speed: 28 parsecs per FTL jump.
Fuel: Plasma
Life Support: 3 months
Armor: Bitanium, 9 inches, Self Sealing, Type IV Deflector Shield
Weapons: DLE Disruptor Turrets Mark VI (3), DLE Ion Cannons (2), 8 Torpedo Launchers, 1 Three-Pronged Missile Launcher
Other info: First DLE attempt at a battlecruiser. The Missile Launcher can launch up to three missiles at a time, making the ship very dangerous considering it only carries DLE Mark II Antimatter Missiles as ammunition for that. The missile launcher is kept in a special bay in the back of the ship, with the opening designed to blend in with the armor.
100 Million Dollars Apiece

The weapons, armor, shields, and engines are totally editable. That's one of the reasons it won't be phased out immediately.

We shall consider it, we wish to see what other options are availble first.

OOC I want to see all options, very nice though.

I walked to school, bumping into people to take their money

Wow, this hammer deffinitlt can BUMP these nails.

I have a design which you could use, but It doesn't quite fit within one category neatly. it's like a gunship/frigate.

"Diplomatically challenged" Rapid offensive frigate (ROF)

Length: 230m
Height: 30m
width: 230m
weight: 430,000 tons
Crew: 6
Armour: 4m double plasma coated Titanium inner hull, 6 metres of Thermokinetic foam. Corridors structured to provide additional hull reinforcement
Shielding system: (to be replaced, but if it was a Jordaxian ship it would have) 1 diffractive gas/gravitational "eggshield", 4 "pea soup" reactive electron armour.
Weaponry: 144 modular missile tubes, 6 heavy maser guns, mounted in compartments at top and bottom of ship. 2 light point defense maser strips mounted at top of ship.
Powerplant: (whatever the Tsuranni normally use. Jordaxians use Gridsphere tech, but guard it closely.)
Engines: 4 plasma torch engines with secondary ionic drive.

I'm not very good with stats though.

Greetings,

I represent the Lossë-elen heavy industries conglomorate (Duat Registered) ship-building division. We have, in line with your request, produced a concept design for the destroyer you desire. Without further details of the technology available for its construction however, we are unable to provide detailed specifications. However, the following rendering has been created in line with your outline. At present, this design mounts thirty two heavy hard points for weapons systems (unspecified at present), and over one hundred potential hard points for lighter offensive systems.

Five main engines and two subsidiary, forward facing engines have been integrated into the design to allow additional deceleration capability. We will require basic specifications of many aspects of your technology, such as power requirements, volume and configuration before we are able to finalise the design however.

Please find enclosed initial rendering of exterior design. ( http://www.necrontyr.plus.com/images/destroyer.jpg) Please note that exterior patterning and symbols can of course be altered as soon as you care to specify your nation’s preferences.

Yours sincerely,
Dúlinn Silmë Caunrochon, Senior Sales Manager, Lossë-elen Industries

OOC Ok, C'tan, I shall talk to you Via Telagram, Jordixia, accepted as Frigate, DLE, Accepted.

IC All Ones currently proposed are accepted, but we are still looking for more designs, Money will be sent.

Bumping

Bump

Hmm. I may need to dig out one of my AI designs. I've been dodging the StarCraft-style carrier one due to the twisted sense of humor the AI who designed it has. While the fully automated fighters are attacking, the ship itself spams the enemy fleet's communications with the phrase "Who's your daddy?"

OOC My God! That thing is perfect. It is un armoured, but is useful for dealing heavy fire. No armour, and light sheilds. GOod, accepted.

Revelation-class Assault Transport
This transport has a number of interchangeable components allowing for versatility.

Height - 60m
Length - 200m
Width - 100m
Weight - 1.5kt
Armour - Up to 20m
Shielding - Up to 300Mw
Crew - 200

Reactor - Fusion
6x Ion drive engines + 3x Jacketed photon thrusters
Ion drive engines can be used for steering

Troop bays - 300t worth of troops and equipment
Vehicle bays - Choice of Terrestrial vehicle storage or landing/boarding vehicles

Terrestrial vehicle storage - 500t worth of vehicles and maintainance crews

OR

Up to 2000 20-man Intercept/board vessels
Equipped with twin 500kw masers, and capable of carrying up to 200kg of equipment per person, these fast vehicles can move in at high speeds and dock with enemy spacecraft in an attempt to board. Alternatively, they are also equipped with a depleted uranium-reinforced hull in order to attempt to pierce a hole in the hull of the vessel, possibly causing extreme damage to the ship in the process. However, after attempting this drastic maneuver, the craft have a tendency to become lodged in the interior of the vessel, and must be extracted by the transport. The masers can be used to open a hole in the hull of the vessel, by firing whilst executing a barrel roll, but this is usually only attempted by experienced pilots. It is equipped with twin jacketed-photon engines. Desperate pilots have been known to ram other fighters, using the hardened nose of the craft to smash through the reactors of less maneuverable craft. Whilst proven to be extremely difficult, it is also a highly effective tactic if performed by experienced pilots.

OR

Up to 2000 20-man high speed landers
These high speed landers are almost completely armoured with depleted uranium and are launched towards a planetary body by magnetic launching rails. They have no windows, but instead have a direct neural uplink that allows the pilot to steer the vehicle down into the atmosphere (if there is one.). It is capable of holding up to 20 soldiers (duh) and 4 tanks, with up to 500kg each. As it is intended to be reusable, and available for a retreat, it is equipped with twin jacketed-photon engines, and an auto-pilot system that allows soldiers to make a fast retreat. The vehicles generally crash-land at their destination, but use magnetic repulsion systems to extricate them from the ground and set themselves down properly. Some pilots activate the thrusters during the descent and use the immense velocity combined with the hardened shell to destroy critical defences before deploying.

Weapons Systems
The transport is armed with an option of a combination of Mass drivers or Masers. It is capable of equipping four weapon systems total.

Mass drivers
These are accurate gatling-gun style weapons, and fire either depleted uranium slugs or HEAP rounds at 6,000 rounds per minute. Most captains use a system of firing two DU slugs then a HEAP round, in the hopes that the HEAP will pass through the hole caused by the DU slugs. The biggest drawback of this system is ammunition. Each turret can hold up to 12,000 DU slugs and 6,000 HEAP rounds. It is invaluable in ripping through the hulls of fighters, however.

The depleted uranium slugs are able to pierce most shields and armours, but generally cause hundreds of little holes in the armour of a ship. When they pass through the shields of a ship, they cause a gap in the armour for approximately a quarter of a second.

The HEAP rounds, on the other hand, are easily beaten aside by most shields, and are most effective when used against unarmoured vessels. The tip of the thin round contains a small amount of explosives, which can cause extensive damage to vital systems when fired in numbers.

Masers
The Maser fires a powerful microwave beam that can slice through a hull like dynamite on butter. It can be used against shields, leeching its power at an alarming rate, but use of it drains from the ship's power supplies quite noticeably, and draws power from your engines. However, the ability to wield a beam of energy is quite useful in incinerating fighters, projectiles and missiles. It also has a (practically) limitless ammunition supply, being an energy weapon, though it does overheat with use.

Whew... that took a while...

OOC Ok, since I have had so few replies, accepted, money sent.

Heres the designs for it. One of my larger ships. The three points of the ship can be used for literally ramming other ships in space.

OOC Accepted as a Command ship, those will be usful. Ok people, I want UBER ships for the Emperors Personal Flagship. Comeone lets see them.

Actually, the point of having only a fusion reactor was so the transport could collect fuel from stars... I guess you could swap it out for one of the more powerful reactors, though.

Well... for the Emperor ship...

Overlord class Super Dreadnought

Antimatter reactor
Secondary twin Fusion Reactors (allows for fuel harvesting)
20x Jacketed photon engines - 20kps real space
Length - 8km
Crew - 300,500
Troop quarters - 5kt
Equipment storage - 10kt
Vehicle storage - 10kt

Experimental "Heavy Armour" Systems - 6000Mw. This experimental new armour system utilises a combination of shielding and advanced alloys to repulse any and all attacks. The system allows a crippled dreadnought to escape and return later fighting fit. However, impact against the shields drains power from the ship's reactors, and when it is pierced, the reactor tends to explode rather violently. It is for this reason that the entire ship is constructed in heavily shielded (both armour and shields) chambers around the antimatter reactor powering the shields, in an attempt to survive the resultant explosion should the reactor fail. The Emperor's chambers are the best shielded of them all (naturally) and located as far from the reactor as possible. It has the capability of rendering a body completely invincible, but the equipment and reactors required would require the space of a red giant and the energy of a white star.


Weapons

Laser turrets x 500 - Fires thin beams at extremely high speeds allowing them to intercept and destroy missiles and fighters, and are effective against anything up to corvettes.

"Annihilator" Heavy Laser turrets x150 - Uses massive capacitors to fire lasers with the heat of a small sun. Sunglasses not included. Do not look directly at barrel. Do not put fingers in barrel. Keep away from children.

"Big Bertha" Heavy mass driver - Fires a large shell at high speeds containing a EMP device, that triggers on impact. The EMP device triggers upon contact and shorts out all electronic devices within a 500m radius... Including the precious systems keeping a fairly large antimatter core within the shell stable...

OOC Hmm, Ok, This thread should now be locked, all ship designs are filled, so there is no real reason.
