Announcing the largest ship class on NS - The Alpha for her Omega

Earth Government

Hello everyone, I am proud to be the man who wil present to you the proverbial big one, the Earth's government chance to really rise to the occasion, a certain thing the French call a..."I don't know what". I am here to present to you the ship that will drag this government out of the ditches it has dug in the past and all its shotcomings on a galactic scale.

This ship is meant to be the biggest, the longest, ship ever built (to our knowledge), to show the universe that we cannot be kept down, that we can take the longest journey and remain as focused and hardened throughout. Down to our very bone -- er, core, we know we can come up into the galaxy and spread our seed all over the known universe. This ship will aid us in such an endevour.

Now, without further ado or fracking around, I present the Progenitor Class, the ship that will be responsible for spreading the seed of humanity amongst the stars. The ship that will out-size even the impressive equipment of the Germanische Zustande.

http://a.1asphost.com/Plushie/Earth%20Government/Progenitor%20Class.JPG

Length - 690 Miles, when at greatest extent
Girth - 50 miles along shaft and 100 miles at edge of Bi-Accelerator Latitudinal Larsonistic Sphere-arrays (BALLS)

Generator - An anti-matter/matter reaction core, with the anti-matter being provided by on-board next-generation particle accelerators that use a super-conducting liquid matched with pico-second oxidation to greatly increase anti-matter generation efficiency.

Drive system - By using waste from the power generation process, sub-atomic particles are hurled out of the bank of reaction drive systems on the rear of the vessel.

Armaments - Countless small armaments dot the vessel, too small to see in the provided image. Also, there is a single main cannon for destroying or penetrating targets of opportunity.

This main cannon is a pulse-fire plasma weapon that fires globules of white plasma with tiny nanites held in suspension. When the plasma globule impacts a target and burns through any present armor or other protection, the nanites enter into the ship and make their way to major systems in an effort to multiply. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the nanite programming, only a single globule's nanites can enter into a ship's main power systems without being destroyed by defensive nanites spawned from the ship's own materials.

Once the main power core is penetrated, the additional power available to the nanites will allow for rapid multiplication until the entire ship's mass is eventually formed into a nanite swarm

A slight plasma discharge usually occurs before firing. Amount discharged varies from vessel to vessel.

Sensors - Tiny, hair-like sensor arrays dot the BALLS spheres and the rear portion of the Progenitor class. These sensors detect the tiny vibrations in the fabric of space made by passing massive objects and a powerful AI sorts the useful from the useless and projects it into the bridge.

There will be a several ship production run of this class, including but not limited to:

PSS 01 - Progenitor
PSS 02 - Rock Hard
PSS 03 - Intruder
PSS 04 - Bon Scott
PSS 05 - Penetrator
PSS 06 - Surprises
PSS 07 - Ex
PSS 08 - Big Catch
PSS 09 - His Majesty's Majestic Rod of Justice
PSS 10 - Make
PSS 11 - Babies
PSS 12 - Sizematers
PSS 13 - Morning After

The Progenitor class will also be available on the inter-galactic market providing the senate clears her sale to others. However, due to the advanced nature of her weaponry, we will only be able to sell her body to others. Prices are negotiable.

OOC: Psychological warfare would be good with that ship. I know that it would disturb ME if I saw it flying around.

OOC dear lord I hope this is a Joke, I pray it is, cause if it isn't, some serious ass wooping is going to take place.

OOC: Most excellent



IC: My regional supervisor, Likithi, has decided to purchase one of these, and has been quoted as saying "I'M NOT COMPENSATING! SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!"
He has diverted funds meant to go into healthcare, in order to purchase this ship. (If you know CF, or, indeed are CF, you probably got the idea off him. It's a CF-ey thing to do.)

OoC: Nope, got the idea from a different poster, someone who only posted the length of his immense uber-ship, prompting an immediate "Well he ain't compensating for something :rolleyes:" reaction.

IC:

I am sorry to inform you that, at the moment, this ship is not available for foriegn sales. However, a construction slot has been ear-marked for your vessel's use later on. Would you like to name the ship yourself or are you comfortable with letting us do it?

Got balls boy, you got balls...but one question. What happens if this here thing runs into a fleet of say...Star Destroyers? They'd pick you to pieces. Its size alone makes it very little manuverable, and its main cannon as you put it, can only target one vessel at a time; that and because of its size and armaments it would be suceptible to massed fighter attacks.

Other than that, nice one. lol.

Hmm, I'm just worried the engines aren't going to provide enough thrust for her, or perhaps I should say him, to penetrate the enemy defences, unless it is provided with a sheath of disposable, transparent armour.

Of course it has Armor!
Collective Orbital Ninty Domain Oscillating Magnets. Any bullets or small ships flying into it, will be stopped by the force of the the magnetic field. It acts like a sheeth, to protect it. The only downside it disables the main cannon from firing correctly.

i have one of those only 10 times bigger and 10 times more guns
well gess wot bud i got one 20 times bigga and it got more gns then u can coutn so if u delcare war on me i will serylsy own ur as n u wil have to give me ur passwerd!!


Oh, and I suppose this is FT..But you should probably increase the main armament to say, six large cannons. You've got still alot of firepower, but more flexibility.

Wow, that's incredible. Classic.

Certainly gives another meaning to the term, "Steel Penis".

OOC: I sure hope it has a fighter wing stored in the 'balls' of the ship for launch. Can they be sperm shaped? Pleeeeeeeeease.....

This reminds me of my Compensator-class Death-boat, which mounted a 800mm GustavX main cannon. Fun times, fun times.

Good work.

You realize that I now have to build a ship 2,000 miles long? A: It'll be able to transport 3 billion people, and B: It'll out-do you.

Bah. I hate these petty games us FT NSers play...

OOC: Not a FT nation much anymore, but a big ship. I am not going to comment on what the picture makes it look like.

*sensory room, flagship*
Commander - "What is it Juan?"
Juan - "Sir, there is a cock on my sensors."
Commander - "Excuse me?!"
*clucks heard in the background*
Juan - "A cock, erm, rooster, sir."
Commander - "Oh, ok, get rid of it."
Juan - "Oh yeah, and we got a big ship incomming...so big I thought the sensors were backwards, green meaning nothing and black meanning something."
Commander - "...."

Yup....good ol' days of FT RPing.

A great thread. Now, it mentions 690 mi. "at greatest extent". For how long is this position maintained?

I'm sure that the time varies from ship to ship. However, I think that if it can last at that length for more than 4 hours, you should talk to an engineer. It's probably broken at that point.

The weak point stands out SOOOO much. One hit from any major FT battleship will break it up. I wonder how that would sound in space? A CRAK, or a POP? Well since there is not enough particals to send sound waves I guess we will never know what it would sound like when it breaks/explodes/dies.

TCE was right when he said "Classic..." It really is. The innuendos are everywhere.)

ROFL!!!

IC: Rhunholm would be interested in purchasing a progenitor. We request that it be outfitted with a specially designed vibrocannon, and painted bright purple. It's Slaanesh's birthday.

I didn't really read it properly at first..I only skimread to the stats. But when you read that thing properly, and look at the picture, that's seriously awesome :D

Good work. You succesfully made the funniest II topic *ever*
