Alright, my very first ship, and I wanna share the WIP with you guys. Basically, I need help with what i should add now. Where the hull stops is where I'll eventually add that waterline.

Pic updated. Tell me what I should add before I begin to color it.

What exactly do you need help with?

Whatever else should be there. I'm not as good with ships as I am with most other technical things. I really don't know what else she needs... but she needs something.

And whatever else would make it look good, too.

Technically, I got them CIWS... they just don't look like dem white ones on other ships. They're the smallest turrets on there. 40 mm Anti-Aircraft Grenade System (AAGS) guns, with a switchable munitions system to use 40 mm KEPs. ( 40mm*620mm flak rounds, 40mm*620mm tungsten or depleted uranium darts.)

EDIT - STFU TSS - it's hard to keep that straight when you're typing fast. :headbang:

And don't put down AAGS - many have ROFs of over 5,000 RPM. SOC based AAGS can have up to 37,000 RPM. Of shrapnel burst. It can take out a misslespam attack.

Those are the CIWS(not CWIS)!?

Can you say pwned?

Cause that's what it'll be by a mass missile spam.

most cruisers have more CIWS then that! My SDN has like 36 which is towards the top count.

Well, whatever. More CIWS. Got it. Anything else?

Some rotating missile launching thingys maybe.

Very good. It's hard to find people that don't put trimarans on every ship they have.

How about adding missile batteries on the sides of the hull? It'd look cool, and you can just say you put them there because you ran out of space on the deck.

The best designs look sleek. They look simple, but at the same time complex if you study them.

Rotating MRLS along with torpedo tubes. They can be useful in psyching out someone, perhaps sacrifice a VLS deck for a carrier area. As VLS arrays tend to be extremely hard to reload, a rotating MRLS might be your best bet.

VLS is bigger and you can carry more missiles, and an MLRS couldn't carry that much. Still, the MLRS is a lot cooler. You could just say that the guns took up all the deck space so you needed smaller launchers. Keep them sleek, still.

Pic updated, more CIWS AAGS guns (34 Turrets)

I'm not sure about adding MLRS instead of a VLS cell - I like the combat advantages of MLRS, and I want to keep the empty spaces in the decks of the ship.
