http://www.igorstshirts.com/blog/conceptships/yamato_style_concept.jpg
The Aoshima, The Second Prototype Yamato-II Class, At It's Dry Dock On Corax


Description: A massive warship designed to be able to engage small fleets without reinforcements, the Yamato-II is one of the biggest ships ever designed an built. The Yamato-II takes it's name from the Yamato, the biggest battleship of World War 2. Like it's ancestor, it carries an arsenal that rivals most Navies and can deploy enough firepower to lay waste to planets.

((Not to rag on you, dude, but the size of the ship and its concurrent armaments make this ship seem like...well...overly enormous and under-armed. I have a warship one fourth the size of this thing with nearly three times the weapons load-out. I could see the ship having the load-out it has if it were 800 meters, but not 80km.))

Hmm, maybe I should re-think the armament.

RDS M2282A1 Enhanced Directed Particle Weapon
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/tardis/images/3/39/Dalek_enh.PNG
An M2282A1 EDPW

Desription: The first directed particle weapon to come from RDF, the M2282A1 EDPW combines modern technology with a classic and well recognised design. Based on the M1928A1 Thompson Sub-Machine Gun, the classic "Chicago Typewriter", the M2282A1 EDPW replaces a drum magazine with a particle core, meaning no reloads. However, because of it's core, the gun can overheat if used too much. It also has a new barrel, designed to reduce cool-down time as much as possible. It fires small bursts of energy capable of disintegrating most modern armour. It can also be switched to constant beam mode, which creates a beam of the same directed particles, usefull for burning through heavier armour. The M2282A1 overheats quicker in this mode.

Specifications:
Length: 856 mm
Weight: 5.0 kg
Ammunition: 1 Radial Particle Core (Unlimited Ammunition, Beware Of Overheating)
Particle Velocity: 320 m/s
Refire Rate: 00.30 seconds (Half A Second)
Fire Modes: Single Shot, Repeating, Constant Beam
Cool-Down Time: 5 seconds (Repeating), 12 Seconds (Constant Beam)

Prices:

Individual Orders:
$500 Per Weapon

Production Rights:
$250,000 For Domestic Production Rights
$750,000 For Production & Sale Rights

(DPR's mean you are licensed to produce the weapon in your own factories. You may not re-sell the weapon in your own storefront. Production & Sale Rights mean you may sell the weapon in your own storefront, thought you must credit the original creator)

Question: Why (and, for that matter, how) does a spaceship have a flight deck? You don't need a long runway to get fighters up to speed, and trying to land in zero-g would mean you'd just bounce off the deck as soon as you hit it.

OOC: Unless, of course, fighters were equipped with anti-gravity engines, and could land on a ship designed like that one. I'm still working on the fighters, thanks very much.

Besides, it's FT. Anything is possible.

I would tone back the size of your yomata more so than your armaments. after all anythiing over 20 km is usually considered a super weapon of sorts. In a previous nation i had a capital ship that was 40 k long and it could destroy planets. also that picture doesnt fit with the discription that would mean that loading ramp attached to the ship is like 4 km wide. I would suggest maybe about 1 or 2 km long, but not greater than say 6 or 7 km long.

Well, yes, but it'd be stupidly wasteful to actually do so. Aircraft carriers only have decks because their planes need the length both to get enough lift to prevent themselves from plunging into the ocean, as well as enough room to decelerate enough to, again, prevent themselves from plunging into the ocean. As you don't need lift in space (heck, you can't get lift in space) and can stop without falling like a brick into the ocean (which also doesn't exist in space), a flight deck is a colossal waste of space.

Not to mention that would have to be a gas giant it's on, given the fact that you can not only see the ass-end of it, you can see the horizon a good distance behind it.

true i hadnt considered that lol

OOC: Why do you follow me around tearing everything I do to shreds? What about if the ship goes inside an atmousphere? Where gravity suddenly applies?

And now you're critizing my planets. I really didn't think NSD was into making standardised planets.

OOC: Why do you follow me around tearing everything I do to shreds? What about if the ship goes inside an atmousphere? Where gravity suddenly applies?
Given its aerodynamics, you're probably using some absurdly handwavy method of keeping yourself in the air, so you probably don't need lift anyway.

And now you're critizing my planets. I really didn't think NSD was into making standardised planets.
I'm NSD? Huh, must have my drivers license changed...

It's not so much that we like standardized planets, but that some things are just rediculous. Consider, Earth has a horizon of 340 kilometers, give or take, for a 8 kilometer tall observer. Your 80 kilometer ship is not only absurdly far from the horizon, but you can't even see the curvature of the planet. Thus, the planet has to be godawful huge. Since godawful huge planets have godawful strong gravity if they're solid, it would have to either be a small gas giant or a ringworld of some sort, and since there's a horizon in the first place, it's not a ring.

I'm NSD? Huh, must have my drivers license changed...

OOC: You could have fooled me, the way you go around enforcing the realism the way they do. If you're not NSD, then I apolagise for generalising, and ask that you please don't come on my storefront critisizing my work. If you are, please refer back to what I just said.

OOC: I'm not exactly sure how FT storefronts work. Do you guys use the reg. NS data like others, because 99% of storefronts have single things in the trillions. o.O
