This is an OOC service.
No payment is needed, just put a credit somwhere people will see it :)

Since I have some time on my hands now, and its something Im good at, I am now offering free design services to any and all.
Just give me a picture, a rough budget, its intended use, and anything else you figure is important, and Ill see what I can do.
Once Ive finished with it, you can make any suggestions/modifications you like.
Then, after its fully done, its yours. You can sell it, blow it up, whatever.
Enjoy :)

Godular hereby tags this thread for pending requests. (and so I can call it up easily on forum search)

Oh. Interesting! Taggage detected!

We'd like to take advantage of this for the design of our homeship. Being that we deal in a number of "Underhanded" markets, we have found a need for a home base that can defend itself, which is capable of storing a large part of our membership, and is movable. Therefore we have this ship
http://www.iuploads.com/uploads/a231b84db3.png (http://www.iuploads.com)
It has 100 plasma cannons, with a pair of larger guns at the front. The four prongs are necessary for the wormhole drive. It is seventy kilometers in diameter, and one hundred and fifty kilometers long. It would need to be built within a budget of one and a half trillian dollars. It must have huge amounts of cargo space and docking space, and it must be able to travel as quickly as possible.

Hmm...
At this point I should note that certain stats will be quite vauge. Since I have no idea of the techs of most nations posting here :)

So...
I dont think I can make a ship seventy kilometeres is diameter for under half a trillion, my own Piledriver class planetbusters cost between 40 and 50 trillion.
So, in this case I think I should downsize my request. Perhaps four to five miles long, a bit more heavily armed, and all that.
This is nothing personal, you understand, but your nation was made to day and this is your first post, I cant give you the ship for the price you want.

(...damn, off on a bad foot >_<)

Siege Cruiser "Kirov"

The only ship in the entire Hakurabian Armada to employ Antimatter technology, the Kirov was originally designed to combat orbital battlestations, and has since been employed against ships larger than dreadnoughts. It carries four huge bombs the size of destroyers, and can produce them at the rate of 1 every three weeks onboard the cruiser. It requires high levels of acceleration and flings bombs one at a time in a process somewhat similar to a fighter attack run. When all 4 have been fired it returns to the nearest starbase to rearm. Due to the size of the missiles, they are normally treated like destroyers.

Well, what I'm looking for is stats. And cost.

I really more-or-less intend to use it as a "Anti Super Dreadnought" (steel penis killer) type ship.

Silhouette-class 1-man scout vessel

What I'm looking for here is a small craft that can fly for long periods in space - That being said, the ship has to have a fusion engine and hydrogen scoops. It should be capable of FTL travel and survive for up to 2 years in space.

(ooc: Actually, this is a puppet of another nation, Cyrian space. I was hoping to use it to play a group of pirates.)

okay, lets up the price to 150,000,000,000,000. Of course, this will stretch our reserves, but it will be worth it.

(sorry, I can never get a real feeling for what futuretech things should cost.)

OOC:
Question: Are you going to model it in 3D or something?.. or is it just third party design solution?

EDIT:
Nope, I cant draw or model well enough, and Jolt doesnt let me upload anyway. Of course, if somebody else wanted to, it would be nice.

Preleminary designs.
These are open to modification.

Kirov
Length: 2.5km
Width: 120m
Crew: ~1,000

Armament:
4 Anti-SD Bombs
120 Light Anti Fighter guns
35 Heavy guns
10 Ion cannons
50 Point-Defence guns

Defences:
4 1/4 Shield generators (Covers a quarter of the ship, means that if one side goes down the ship can just turn and cover with the other)
4 backup generators
Extremly heavy armour (You have some sort of material avalible?)

Fighters:
60 Asst. Fighters
25 Asst. Bombers
Possible boarding craft, sucide drones?

Keep in mind, Im working off my ship models and technology.

Silhouette
Length: 35m (NOt counting scoops, when extended)
Width: 12m
Crew: 1-5 (Four passengers possible, not required)

Armament:
4 Light lasers (Clearing debires and such)
1 Heavy laser (You never know)

Defences:
1 light shield generator
Expensive nav/radiation shields

Fighters:
1 'Baby' scout, about the size of an escape pod, for landings and emergency use.

I'd probably cut out the fighters from the Kirov - It's meant to fit a destroyer-sized bomb manufacturing plant inside. Same with the Heavy and Ion cannons.

Don't forget that I need this thing to be able to go fast enough to fling the bombs at close range so they won't be destroyed before impact.

For the material - Currently using carbon nanotube.

About the Scout...
I like it. Come to think about it - what to you believe the costs of them would be?

Maybe make the bombs missiles? Or install some sort of railgun-like assembly.
So, how about halving the guns, three-quartering the fighters, and carbon nanotube armour.

I think the cost would be somewhere in the high millions, maybe the billions. It depends on the materials you use.

The thing is, the sheer number of guns on most Super-Dreadnoughts makes it near impossible to hit them with missiles or bombs at long range - hence the need to release the bombs at close range. Maybe Cut out the non-bomb weapons and the bomb manufacturing unit, and replace them with huge amounts of armour, shields and engines? It's really just got to survive long enough to get to point-blank range, to release the bomb. Fighters, maybe.

I would like to create a Super-Command Ship (like the SSD, Sovereign SD, and ESD). It is a cross of the ISD mark 3, Dominator SD, and the Eclipse SD.

here are some links as of what each of those look like, to give you a breif idea of what I'd like.
