The Flagship (Communal Development Thread.)

[Republic Engineering]

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Everything between;

I've gotten a tad bored working on other submissions of mine, and as our fundraiser event had come to the halfway point (Which I believe is sufficient enough to argue we've collected enough funds and donations from interested parties to garner the possession of a Flagship) I believe it's fitting that we'll shift gears and work on fleshing the massive vessel out both in the IC thread itself, as well as here in this communal development thread.

While the listing will be under my original post, it will be edited as new updates are thrown into this thread. Be it pictures, description paragraphs, or additional items of note that will be tossed into their relevant sections. While the IC thread itself is open to any and all comers, I ask that only those whom consider the Galactic Alliance as an ally, friend, or distant acquaintance post in this thread with their contributions.

There will be a secondary thread in the OOC forum that will be tied to this one, so please keep the relevant discussion to the appropriate topics.

And without further adieu, I give you the framework of our Flagship. (It'll look prettier once it gets through development - I swear! )

Just pointing out for listing purposes, but Corellian Arms (A subsidy of Corellian Engineering) produces the Javelin Hypervelocity Cannon weapon system.

Some other notes from my own observations and thoughts. You're more than welcome to disregard them all, use them all, or pick-and-choose

• To help keep costs down where possible, and to help speed up production, I'd suggest a more common durasteel-titanium allow for the general hull playing while heavier plating is placed over more critical areas of the ship such as the engine housings, reactors, etc. Any potential reduction in hull plating defense is absolutely negligible, while we can plate the more vital areas with something a bit stronger like turadium.
• A clear design focus will help maximize the ship's potential. The current specs, while incomplete, seems to lean towards a more agile ship than others of its class. As there's already the Leviathan, a ship that leans more towards long range support / artillery barrage while supporting a fleet with its extensive suite of starfighters and auxiliary craft, and the Spirit of Druckenwell, a ship that lends itself more towards attracting fire and taking it unflinchingly while looking to seek to throw heavy hits at its attacked. So we have a support ship and a defensive ship. What I think is needed then is a ship that is geared primarily towards offense.
• To that end, I think hanger space would be better served in other areas, in particular the frigate hanger space. The ship will be agile and quick for its size, but that's going to mean it won''t pack quite as heavy a punch and/or it won't be served very well in a straight fight. You might consider working out a short range (sub 100 km) micro jump drive of some sort.
• Talking with a couple other folks over ideas, it might be interesting to pack a couple of shield emitters, a la Shield Cruiser, on the flanks of the ship while it goes in for a kill. Dive into an enemy formation and take out a vital ship in the middle to send things off into chaos
• If this thing is gonna get in close, I highly suggest someone contact Iron Crown Productions for their ACP weapon system. These things can rip apart shields like nobody's business. Fly in close, rip open a hole in an enemy's shields with these, and then drop your choice of boarding torpedoes or time-delayed assault concussion missiles. Or magnetic mines.

I'm sure there are some other thoughts I can come up with, but figured I'd pitch this first.

My company does mining, we could do a contract to mine the ore in dev thread

Someone called?

As discussed in pm, Firemane can provide the Colossus Reactor.


Furthermore, our Guid of Hammers subsidiary can help out with the armour plating via Graphite Mesh Reinforcement

That should help strengthen the critical sections of the ship. Also got the Aegis Molecular Shielding. It works well with the aforementioned reactor.

 

[Julius Sedaire]

If you guys want a micro-jump drive.... I offer myself as tribute....

Otherwise, Ayden has my thoughts nailed down very well.

Potentially useful navicomputer

You might have noticed me subbing a lot of space probes. I'm going to do a couple more types and a launcher. I'm aiming for the launcher to be worth a couple of light warhead launchers or something along those lines - minimal drain on stats, pretty significant boost in strategic situational awareness. It's not a huge project, but I think it'll be a cool set of options for a command ship to have on hand.

And here it is, pending approval. Sublight and hyperspace probes, stuff for scanning cover or flushing things out, tactical interdiction, hyperlane monitoring, long-range recon, all kinds of options. Armament cost: one light warhead launcher.
