Huangjia Haijun/The Imperial Navy

[The Chief of Braves]

New ship designs I was test building while trying to make stuffs up for my previous Colony fleet. These ships belong to the Divine Empire's Imperial Navy, a Chinese-based sovereign empire that is governed exclusively by a revived Imperial Chinese Monarchy, with a Divine Emperor as head. I'll get into details on this faction some other time but first, something on the new ships:


A side-by-side length comparison of Dragon Prince-class destroyer and Dragon King-class battlecarrier, compared to the size of a Hestia.


An Imperial Navy Battle Carrier Fleet Formation. Note that one of the Long Guo Wang is launching Fung space fighters with guiding lights in use.

The first and smaller of the two ships is a Long Wang Zi-class destroyer, or Dragon Prince. It essentially a frontline combat warship and is built in massive numbers by the Imperial Navy because of its inexpensiveness to build.

The larger and much long ship is a Long Guo Wang-class battle carrier, or Dragon King. This one is also commissioned in massive numbers because of its rather cheap building cost for something of its size though the total numbers commisioned is actually the lowest among the Imperial Navy's ship of the line. This ship's duty is get into the field and launch a massive numbers of space fighters from its internal hangars. While they are usually escorted by other ships, a Dragon King-class battlecarrier can still fight out on its own to an effect.

As usual, comments and critics are welcome.

These are naice! A few spots which could be improved by nudging, but overall good weapons spread, and the colors definitely fit with the backstory. Make me think of the new years dragon in the parades.

Are you gonna build larger than this or stay at this scale? It kinda works for them... And interesting use of doodads

[The Chief of Braves]

I'll let the scale for this one stick as it is; designing and building huge ships like my previous Pioneer and New Pioneer arks are a bit difficult without having a lot to think about on section usage and placement. Though there might be larger ships than the Dragon King-class, that's as far as I am willing to go for this fleet and universe.

[CheesyErwin]

The ships are fine, but the names sucks... I suppose Chinese is not your first language.

Anyway, I liked the way you used the doodads.

Sad to say, it isn't, which is embarrassing because it's *supposed* to be. -_-; I used an online translator for the names I thought up in English first so sue me. XD Hopefully, I still can think up of better sounding names that's logical as well as not too cheesy.

[CheesyErwin]

As with the ship's styles, I would say it's not "real" Chinese, but in a way that how the west thought what Chinese are.

[The Chief of Braves]

It does doesn't it? I went for this 'style' because it's what a lot of people seems to recognize the most at first glance. Then again, I myself don't know much yet on true chinese aesthetics. Maybe someday hopefully.

[Lord-General Thunder]

Wow... That's pretty impressive. It actually feels like that is something the Chinese would have built...

8/10 for style, I think.

[Lizzie]

Omg, is that entry/exit lines I see for that carrier (I'd assume it's a carrier)?

Damn that's nice. The colors don't look right to me though.

[Blackhart]

Cool ships, and those guiding lights are pretty damn sexy too
Nice work!

[The Chief of Braves]

To Lizzie: Yup, that’s a carrier type ship. And yes, those are entry/exit guiding lines. I needed those to point out where all the internal launch decks are.

So new stuffs, in just what, two days? Some fine detail correction were done on the first two ships as pointed out by some and I hope I got all of them; if missed anything then please help me point them out. This time, I’ve got two new ships for show in addition to the other two, all capital type warships. Aside from some re-coloring done, from Red-Gold to the new Red-Grey with Gold accents, there’s also some renaming done as well and while I can say it’s not the best I can do, in the interim, it’ll have to do until inspiration and originality hit me with an I-beam girder. XD

So here they are again, the new (and improved) capital-type warships of the Divine Imperial Spacy (Space+Navy=Spacy):


Alright, from top to bottom, first up: is the Jiaolong-class assault frigate.



Ship Type: Assault frigate/Destroyer escort
Government: Divine Empire of Xing
Operator: Imperial Spacy
Manufacturer: Imperial Spacy Shipyards
Ship Class: Jiaolong
Ship Name: Jiaolong (F/DE-129), 1st Imperial Spacy Homeworld Defense Fleet; Meng Fung (F/DE-157), 27th Imperial Spacy Assault Frigate Task Force
Commission Date: n/a
Number of Class Commissioned: Exact numbers unknown (massive numbers)
Complement: unknown
Dimensions: approximate length 270 meters
Mass: standard operational displacement 5,600 metric tons.
Power Plant: Thermonuclear furnace power system
Primary Systems: Main engine thruster (aft); vernier thrusters
Armaments:
- 1x high speed 178cm electro-magnetic rail cannon
- 4x 120cm beam particle blasters
- 4x missile launchers
- 6x automatic anti-celestial-object anti-ship anti-aircraft particle guns

Description and History: Standard support-type fighting warship of the Imperial Space Navy (or Spacy). It is lightly armored and maneuverable yet still able to deliver considerable firepower. Because it of its inexpensiveness to construct, the Jiaolong is commissioned in massive numbers by the Imperial Spacy. The Dilong (pronounced as ti-lung) is the named after the earth dragon, controller of rivers and seas. It’s also the name for earthworm.

Ship Type: Destroyer
Government: Divine Empire of Xing
Operator: Imperial Spacy
Manufacturer: Imperial Spacy Shipyards
Ship Class: Dilong
Ship Name: Dilong (DD-253), 1st Imperial Spacy Homeworld Defense Fleet; Landing Typhoon (DD-257), 7th Imperial Spacy Destroyer Task Force
Commission Date: n/a
Number of Class Commissioned: Exact numbers unknown (massive numbers)
Complement: unknown
Dimensions: approximate length 300 meters
Mass: standard operational displacement 7,300 metric tons.
Power Plant: Thermonuclear furnace power system
Primary Systems: 2x Main engine thruster (aft); vernier thrusters; 8x pin-point deflector module system

- 2x medium-yield Type 57 beam particle cannon
- 4x 120cm beam particle blasters
- 4x missile launchers
- 12x automatic anti-celestial-object anti-ship anti-aircraft particle guns

Description and History: The big bruiser of any Imperial Spacy fleet. The Dilong-class destroyers is considerably armored and armed with dishing out the biggest amount of firepower at close range in mind. Yet, it is not too expensive to construct so like the Jiaolong, the Dilong is also commissioned and launched in massive numbers. The Jiaolong (pronounced chiao-lung) is named after hornless or scaled dragon.

Ship Type: Battlecarrier
Government: Divine Empire of Xing
Operator: Imperial Spacy
Manufacturer: Imperial Spacy Shipyards
Ship Class: Tianlong

Complement: unknown
Dimensions: approximate length 360 meters; width 220 meters
Mass: standard operational displacement 10,500 metric tons.
Power Plant: Thermonuclear furnace power system
Primary Systems: 2x Main engine thruster (aft); vernier thrusters, external fuel tanks (mounted ventral hull), 12x pin-point deflector module system, 5x nanomachines matrix repair modules
Armaments:
- 4x medium-yield Type 60 beam particle cannon
- 8x 120cm beam particle blasters
- 1x 120cm repeating beam particle blaster
- 6x missile launchers

Description and History: The only carrier-type warship serving in the Imperial Spacy, the Tianlong-class battlecarrier usually serves as flagship in many carrier-based task force. It has five internal launch catapults to launch five space fighters simultaneously. It is heavily armed and armored to protect itself in case enemy ships get into its range attempting to take advantage of its assumed lack in firepower. Some daring commanders would even try to maneuver their Tianlongs into the heat of a firefight to let its firepower loose on the enemy. Tianlong (pronounced as tien-lung) is named after the celestial dragon in Chinese mythology that guards heavenly palaces and pulls divine chariots.

Ship Type: Dreadnought
Government: Divine Empire of Xing
Operator: Imperial Spacy
Manufacturer: Imperial Spacy Shipyards
Ship Class: Shenlong
Ship Name: Shenlong (D-001), 1st Imperial Spacy Homeworld Defense Fleet; Liu Bei (D-007), 7th Imperial Spacy Shenlong Dreadnought Task Force
Commission Date: n/a
Number of Class Commissioned: Exact numbers unknown (lesser numbers)
Complement: unknown
Dimensions: approximate length 440 meters
Mass: standard operational displacement 15,500 metric tons.
Power Plant: 2x Thermonuclear furnace power system
Primary Systems: 2x Main engine thrusters (aft); 2x secondary engine thrusters (aft); vernier thrusters, external fuel tanks (mounted ventral hull), 14x pin-point deflector module system
Armaments:
- 6x high speed 178cm electro-magnetic rail cannon
- 6x 120cm beam particle blasters
- 8x missile launchers
- 1x mega particle beam cannon
- 28x automatic anti-celestial-object anti-ship anti-aircraft particle guns
Space Crafts: 2x multi-purpose transport shuttle

Description and History: Considered as an impromptu super weapon by some, the Shenlong-class dreadnoughts serves to carry the awesome Shandian mega particle beam cannon into the field to disrupt enemy lines or formation. Even without it, the Shenlong is a ship to be reckoned with, its heavy armor allowing it to take considerable amount of punishment while it whittles away at enemy ships with its standard armaments daring enough to get in close to this Dragon of Thunder and Lightning. As the name suggests, the Shenlong is named after the thunder god that controls the weather.

[admiral_tee]

Nice looking ships.
However some of the smaller ships have way too many deflectors, whilst the Shen Long doesn't seem to have enough..?

Tee

[Exethalion]

Hmm, 5 nanos on the battlecarrier is a bit extreme, and I'd agree with tee that there are somewhat too many deflectors on the destroyer and carrier.

Other than that it's a pretty solid and cool fleet, awaiting the Zhang Fei eagerly.

[The Chief of Braves]

A side-by-side comparison of a Yinglong-class battleship and a Tianlong-class battlecarrier, showing the similarities and differences between both ships.

The last (hopefully) capital warship of the Imperial Navy; the Yinglong-class battleship is the main attack warship in any attack force deployed by the Imperial Navy. It is from this hull shape and design did the Tianlong borrowed from, which tells you that the Tianlong-class battlecarrier is essentially a carrier version of the Yinglong.



Now for the auxiliary ships. What I have here are the Panlong-classes of troop transport vessels, derived from the Jiaolong-class frigate’s hull design. Each variations of the Panlongs have different numbers of troops it can transport.

The first one on the top is a Mk. I variation, designed to carry two companies worth of Imperial Army troops or Imperial Space Marines.

The second one with the spheres on either side is the Mk. II, designed to carry not just two companies worth of troops but also deploying them into a planet atmosphere through the drop pods which are those sphere things on either side of the ship.

The last one, and also the biggest so far, is Mk. III. Now this one designed to carry a full battalion of troops complete with supplies and support all in one massive cargo hold. As a bonus, this variation of the Panlong can enter and leave a planet atmosphere at will, allowing deployment of regiments easily.
