Building a Better Battleship Mk.2 - Faction Shipbuilding Planning

[Cyrus Tregessar]

To my knowledge, no faction on the board has yet made a mass production vessel that stresses the current max meters allowed under the new rules.

My intention is to do that. A Battlecruiser like the Allegiance-class, but having more in common with real world Battlecruisers (trading armor for speed, or in this case maneuverability) in order to complement the slower Darkblades and Immortals.

What is needed is at a minimum, a 30-post thread with at least two other writers. So basically this thread is to recruit people willing to work on a dev thread (and longer is always better) and plan that thread, to make it a self-contained story and actually worth reading.

 

[Alric Kuhn]

I'll gladly help.

I've finished with the Maladi so I'm ready to do more threads now.

 

[Taeli Raaf]

I'd be willing to help as well

I'll be more than willing to help.

 

[Cyrus Tregessar]

Well that's one more than minimum, so we're off to a good start.

What should the thread be about? I'd like to avoid the old 'sit and talk about the ship' because that sort of thread has never interested me much. Ideally there'd be some conflict to resolve (perhaps related to the ongoing trend of the criminal incompetency in the upper ranks of the One Sith navy).

Another possible point of interest woudl be that I'm using concepts from several older ships in this design.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

Can I just say how much I love this faction's work ethic?

 

[Cyrus Tregessar]

The ship in question.

Don't know if that will help anyone with ideas or something.

 

[Taeli Raaf]

I really like the idea of the ship, hmm thread though hmmm

 

[Alric Kuhn]

Remember that the dev thread doesn't have to be construction.

I would say have it be a pirate raid on the ship while its half done.

 

[Ellie Mors]

Make sure it isn't too similar to a flagship or you will all suffer.

That's a bloody fantastic idea. I'll see if anyone wants to play opposition and get a starter post up soon-ish.

Ah, just to be clear, what do you mean by this?

A ship with every quality of a flagship but at a size just below 3001.

 

[Cyrus Tregessar]

Ah gotcha. No, it's nothing like that. At least by my opinion.

The link to the WIP design is up above.

Name it the Invictus Mk-II

As a throwback to the very first Imperial Star Destroyer ever made on the board.

Woah, talk about power creep.

You've got all of 100 guns on that baby.

The Wryylok, at 200m smaller, has somewhere around 1100 (calculated by the old Guide 2.0 system). Out with the old in with the new and such.

I'll consider it, but I like the idea of having the class be all polearms.

Back in the day we were told that the galaxy was coming out of the Darkness being extremely lacking in resources, and thus everything was tuned down and underpowered in the early days.

Obviously as the board progressed the ships quickly got up to the standard you see today, but back then it was rough
