General Description:
The Imperator Star destroyers (mk 1-3) have recently been out of service for the last some odd years in the Galactic Empire of Huntaer. Now, demanded by Huntarian Grand Admirals and Grand Generals, the New Imperator Project has been iniciated in Huntaer. The newer imperator classes (mk IV-VI) are towerless, makeing them even more formidable than before (OOC: Note I didn't say they looked good).

Why Go Towerless:
The origonal Imperator Star Destroyers consisted of a rather large conning tower on the top of each ship. The newer ISD's no longer have the large target which could easily be destroyed by a fighter crashing into the bridge.
Without a conning tower, the hull and the length of an ISD has been increased from what they origonaly were at. This offers more room for power generators, starfighters, weaponery, and cargo capacity.

Greater Power:
There has been an increased fire power in the Mk IV. It contains huntarian advanced turbolasers/batteries which helps increas the fireing range of the ISD mk IV. Also, rather than having one huge power generator the Mk IV has four seperate generators, limiting the risk of loosing power all at once.
Should the commanding officer wish it, he/she can order the option for each of the generators to be used for a specific purpose; weaponery, shielding, sublight speed, and hyperdrive (4 generators, 4 purposes). Ofcourse this would be used in dire moments if the ISD Mk IV is out numbered.

Greater Starfighter Capacity:
One of the reasons why there is more Tie Fighters and Starfighters onboard the Mk IV is because of the increase in length. Also, the emperor has adapted to a new method of "Stacking." Unlike a normal hangerbay, the hangerbay of the Mk IV has a big opening leaving no large space to land. Each tie fighter is stacked up in rows, alowing more space available to put fighters in (similar thus to how products are stacked in a grocery store).

Model: Imperator V Class Star Destroyer


Manufacturer: Huntarian Forge Worlds

Designation: Capital Starship

Length: 1,800 meters

Crew: 3,256

Troops: 8,200

Cargo Capacity: 40,000 metric Tons

Consumables: 6 years

Hyperdrive Multiplier: x2

Hyperdrive Backup: x12

Speed: 15 MGLT

Hull: 2,800 RU

Shields: 7,523 SBD

Weapons: 50 Advanced Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 50 Advanced Heavy Turbolaser Cannons, 20 Advanced Laser Batteries, 20 Ion Cannons and 10 Tractor Beam Projectors.

Onboard Craft: 45 Tie Series Fighters, 10 Kirtir Starfighters, 5 Vampire Starfighters, 5 Reliant Starfightes, 20 Transports

General Discription:
The ISD Mk V will be typically used as a warship, rather than a multi-purpose ship. It's power is directly converted to increase shielding and the Heavy Turbolaser Batteries/Cannons inflicting maximum damage to enemy ships. Due to the need for more power, the Hangarbay has been reduced significantly in size allowing more generators to be put in place. The ISD Mk V is also more automated than the normal SD, relying on less crew.

Name: Imperator Class Towerless Star Destroyer Mk III

Model: Imperator VI Class Star Destroyer

Manufacturer: Huntarian Forge Worlds

Designation: Capital Starship

Length: 2000 meters

Crew: 20,000

Troops: 15,200

Cargo Capacity: 40,000 metric tons

Consumables: 6 years

Hyperdrive Multiplier: x2

Hyperdrive Backup: x16

Speed: 40 MGLT

Hull: 5,300 RU

Shields: 10,000 SBD

Weapons: 50 Advanced Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 50 Advanced Heavy Turbolaser Cannons, 40 Advanced Laser Batteries, 6 Advanced Laser Gattling Cannons, 20 Ion Cannons and 10 Tractor Beam Projectors.

Onboard Craft: 144 Tie Series Fighters, 20 Kirtir Starfighters, 10 Vampire Starfighters, 10 Reliant Starfightes, 5 Transports

General Discription:
The ISD Mk VI has increased shielding and hull compaired to it's other two brethen. The Mk VI can last longer in battle and provide fire cover for the weaker ships. It also shares the same "Stacking" phylosophy as the ISD mk IV. On another note, the Mk VI is drastically increased in length allowing it to carry even greater fire power than it's predicessor, the Mk III.
As a newer feature, the ISD Mk VI has 6 Advanced Gattling Cannons. Though they produce less fire power than the normal Laser Gattling Cannons, the newer ones fires much more rappidly making the nead for more power unnessesairy.

Yes, these are pictures which I've "created" through Photoshop. I'm trying to find if there is anyother way which I could create a Towerless SD.

bump.

I'm done with the discriptions.

questions? comments? corrections(besides stats)?

Most excellent. Are you willing to sell any, specifically the VI model?

yes actually. you may purchase them here, or in my naval store front (found in signature)



ISD Mk IV = 140,000,000,000

ISD Mk V = 160,000,000,000

ISD Mk VI = 190,000,000,000

EDIT:
If your nation can't handle the amount of money I'm willing to trade, or
follow the loan rule under the Star Forge Naval Store Front.

He works for me, pay him no attention.

I would like to order one of the V models. My entire region is collectivised, so we can easily afford it. I will take only one. TG if you accept.

That's actually not allowed. Only your nation can purchase the ships
for your fleet. Groups of nations can't add their budgets together to buy the ship. Unless you've sold land or weaponery, you can add the amount of money you've made to your budget and help pay for it that way, but not a group of nations.

Great ships! I never had too much of a problem with towers (no debate in this thread please! We've already spammed up 2 threads already with it), but these ISDs may have to replace some of my ISD IIs.

I shall buy some at some point probably.

Although I won't be buying any, they certainly look more formidable than the towered SDs. Well done.

Thanks. I was actually worried that this wouldn't turn out all that well.

bump.

hmm... bump.

any more comments? Questions?

(OOC: They're all pretty good. Pretty good job with the PS edits too, especially on the Venator class.)

Nice design, doubt I can buy.

actually you can. My nation has an arms dealership. We don't care who buys our products, even if we are at war with them.

See post #9 for costs. I'm actually interested in seeing these mass produced in other nations, ally or foe. I'd like to see how others would handle these ships, even against myself.

The Venator one was actually the easiest one. Dad showed me the special "Cloning" tool which allows you to clone a certain part on the image. That made the tower disappear even easier.

(OOC: Well, less is more, as they say. I did notice that something looked "cloned", but I obviously can't be sure what exactly. It's definitely not Jango for one thing.)

I also edited out the turrents as well. There use to be 8 turrents total (4 one side, 4 other) and I got rid of them through cloning as well.

OOC: Hmm....looks like I might have to remake my Zaitsev ISD's, seeing as how they basically have towers still.

Otherwise, awesome job.

note this is my nation who's going towerless. Other nations can still have their towers, but the ships will be inferior when fighting against mine.

OOC: I know, but seeing as how you've done this, I'm tempted to follow in your footsteps....

Ah, good.

(OOC: You could just go and design your own ships... Then you wouldn't have to spend money making such serious modifications.

Sometimes there gets to be a point where making something entirely new is cheaper than upgrading the old.)

EDIT: AH! My post number! Lol.
