my first fleet
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 8:19 pm
these are my first few ships i have created the fleet doesn't have a name and neither do any of the ships let me know what you think in all of them i have put a hestia for size comparison
this ship has very weak armour and although lacking in point defences that is made up by the sheilded spines protecting the wings, this ship is designed for flanking larger ships.
this ship has 4 boosted railguns, it is also a very fast manuvrable ship not as much as the one above but enougth for it to be able to flank most ships because of the energy used to boost the railguns and keep the speed sheilds could not be added this is the downside to this ship it is easily damaged.
this ships main role is to overwhelm point defences with a barrage of projectiles this was one of the earlier ships as it carries no advanced technology when being constructed all of the budget was used on firepower and this ment the armour for the ship was cut back, the engine was an experimental engine the speed of it is very high but this caused a lack in its turning ability, also a new way of holding sections together using magnetized plasma.
this ship is the markII of the above ship the armour on this ship was increased and extra armour was added also more shield generators the weapons were updated to more modern beam weapons as these can't be stopped by point defences it was no longer needed for it to overwhelm them, new engines (can be seen in the middle back) and generators (can be seen to the sides of the core) were created during this ships design. the engines don't produce much thrust but its turning was increased the generators were added to cope with the power hungry beam weapons.
the ship above is mainly a support ship used to carry small fighters using several decks, as fighters lack jump capability. this ship is also used as a repair ship for damaged vessels carrying 4 nano matrix repair modules. once in a battlefeild this ship can be used to deploy defence platforms to create an outpost in addition to this it carrys a large amount of AI attack drones and long range artillery cannons at the front (pulsars).
let me know what you think any changes problems etc, im not making them available for download yet i still need to make afew more and prehaps some changes, in battle these ships are very balanced.
