How about we have capital ships from all tech levels fight other ships from the same tech level. This wouldn't effect any IC threads or RPs unless you want it too.

Modern tech (roughly)- CLF Callismark (battleship) or alternately, CLF Valkyrie (battle cruiser)

Pre-modern tech (about 20's era)- CLF Telemark (battleship), CLF Isten Kardja (battle cruiser) or CLF Varghona (also a battle cruiser).

Here is my OOC FutureTech ship, the Legged-class ArchAngel

http://www.gundams.net/files/html/seed/ms/archangel.gif
It packs a great deal of firepower - missile launchers on the sides: Vailiants and HellDarts. Also its gattling guns

Not to mention twin Godtfreid cannons mounted above the launch bays and the positron cannons below them

Eclipse Super Battleship

http://www.websitefactory.de/loveboat/images/eclbp.gif

Basically just a massive MFer that has guns coming out its ears and a strong enough hull to ram almost any ship sucessfully. It is 20.5km in length. It took 10 years to build.

I just stole the name and the hull shape, nothing more. Either way, I began RPing the construction long ago.

PS, you can have the Death Star or whatever else you want as long as you RPed building it.

i bought my fleet of ISDs and Tie defenders... 80% of which just sit in ship yards in teh middle of nowhere for 99% of teh time due to teh sheer cost of maintaining them as a fighting force...

I also have a couple of eclipses, which arent doing much except Guarding my nation...

Death star is a waste of resources...

If i were gonna build an 'uber big deth ray!@!1!!1shift11!!@!' device, I would build either a suncrusher, or centerpoint Station... if you ahve read the books...

Count in the Timeless Okyton Empire, with one... i was gonna use this in an RP later but hey no-ones really reading this anyway so

The World Eater: Crassuss

Standrad 100km (dont worry thats largely solid metal :D see wiki when i finish it lol)

The World Eater: Crassuss was built to house and defend the mind of Crassuss should he for any reason need to move. This means that the ship it constructs are purpose built fighters, controlled by Crassuss himself the most advanced AI yet known (he rules a planet so theres no arguing with that :D).

This means that its fighters are slightly more effiicient than in other world eaters. the construction pit is under the hood at the front a rough picture is available here

if its possible to extend modern to encompassing near future tech, ie, 10 years, then chuck me in that aswell...


Also, would we be able to have it so that all of us futureers are fighting at once..ie uber battlefield

Um, the problem with the first idea is that my ships are pretty much normal modern tech. Some of their stuff is post-modern, but that's balanced out with stuff that's pre-modern, and I don't want them to be totally trounced.

I agree. Sorry, can't do near future tech. Also, I'm creating the battle thread. Once everyone checks in I'll post whos fighting who.
