| Featured ShipVindication Class Heavy Cruiser- Exteriors:
- Bow:
- Turrets:
- Terran Ship Sizes:
1-20m = Fighter Length: 1-20 Meters FTL?: No Description: The Fighter is the smallest possible warship. They have the quickest acceleration/deceleration rates. However, they do not have shields or FLT drives and thus must be carried to battle by a larger ship, usually a Carrier. Their roles include a wide range of functions but they are mostly used in attacking and defending Pinnaces and Warships. Models: Escort Fighter, Heavy Fighter
20-50m = Pinnace Length: 21-50 Meters FTL?: No Description: Pinnaces, sometimes called Bombers, are an integral part of any large space fleet. They usually carry light-medium anti-ship weapons and, having the second highest acceleration/deceleration rates, are used to perform quick strikes on the flanks of larger warships. Like Fighters, they have no shields or FLT drives and need to be carried to the battle. Models: Retort 25 Class 50-100m = Corvette Length: 51-100 Meters FTL?: Yes Description: Corvettes are the smallest ships to include an FLT drive. Of all FLT capable ships, corvettes generally have the highest acceleration/deceleration rates and the weakest shields. Because of this, corvettes are almost never seen on the frontlines of battle. Instead, they are relegated to scouting and fighter/pinnace screening roles. Models: Retaliation Class 100-250m = Frigate Length: 101-250 Meters FTL?: Yes Description: Frigates are the varied ships in most fleets with roles including escort, destroyer, missile boat, anti-fighter, and sometimes even assault ship. Frigates are usually the balance point of speed and shielding. While still very quick compared to Cruisers and above, most Frigates still have enough armor and shielding to take several critical hits before being crippled. Models: N/A 250-500m = Cruiser Length: 251-500 Meters FTL?: Yes Description: There are two main types of cruisers: Light Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers. As the name suggests, Light Cruisers trade heavy armor and shielding for speed. They are the heaviest type of escort ship, being used to add much needed fire-support to convoy escorts and flanking squadrons alike. On the other hand, Heavy Cruisers trade speed for heavy armor and shielding. Their main weapons are heavy and medium ship-to-ship guns making Heavy Cruisers the ideal ship for the line-of-battle. Models: N/A 500m-1km = Battleship Length: 500m-1 Kilometer FTL?: Yes Description: More heavily armed, armored, and shielded, Battleships are the next step up from Heavy Cruisers. They are the muscle in most of the larger factions’ battle lines, with the smaller Heavy Cruisers filling in the cracks. Models: N/A 1-5km = Dreadnaught Length: 1-2.5 Kilometers FTL?: Yes Description: The Dreadnaught is the backbone of larger factions’ battle lines, serving as both heavy hitters on the line-of-battle and as flagships in defense fleets. For most factions, this is as big as ships get, and as such, Dreadnaughts are the pride of their fleets. Models: N/A 5-20km = Super Dreadnaught Length: 7.5-20 Kilometers FTL?: Yes Description: The acceleration rates for these massive ships are laughable at best, making these actually very ineffective in battle. That’s usually not a problem though, since most fleets flee at the sight of these monsters jumping into their systems. The main goal of these ships is intimidation and demoralization, aiming to terrify the enemy into submitting. Models: N/A 20-50km = Mobile Starbase Length: 20-50 Kilometers FTL?: Yes Description: These are actually the most practical ship since the dreadnaught. While it is only possible to construct one of these by the taxing the resources of a huge empire, Mobile Starbases are the perfect asset for the empire who’s set its sights on galactic conquest. These behemoths’ purpose is to jump to the edge of a heavily defended system and provide a strong forward base for the invading fleet. They carry thousands of fights and pinnaces, and are able to receive and repair dozens of large ships at a time. The design also allows for the addition of one or more super-weapons for the purpose of destroying defending starbases and orbital defenses from a distance! They are so large that, when in a gravity well, the Lagrange Point is large enough for Corvettes and small Frigates to jump from. If the invading fleet is defeated, they can retreat back to the Mobile Starbase and mount a defense around it. Models: N/A 50km+ = Planetary Assault Ship Length: 50+ Kilometers FTL?: Yes Description: These ships are large enough to both carry enough troops to occupy an entire planet and a weapon large enough to crack that planet if it is decided that invasion is too costly. If an empire is large enough to produce one of these, they probably don’t have any enemies left to use it against… Models: N/A
********************Carriers*********************
50-250m = Escort Carrier 250-500m = Light Carrier 500m-750m = Fleet Carrier 750m-1.5km = Battlecarrier 1.5km+ = Supercarrier More on carriers later.

| Rotate it 10 degrees. Then it will be perfect.
I don't think the ship needs more detail. Then again, I have been wrong before.
You see, my ships look like a flying art-exhibition, with their bright white and red colours, rich in lights and detail. That doesn't work for all ships... | |

| New photos are up. Finishing the interiors was boring and tedious, so I took a break and finished the exterior.
Do you think I should take the time to finish the interior, or should I just call it done and move on to the next ship? | |

| Billy you have yourself a great ship. I really like the exterior. Just one question how long have you been working on the ship? | |

I think I started building it on Monday or Tuesday this past week and I've been putting an hour or two into it every night, but it's based on a ten year old drawing of mine. In fact, all of the ships that I'm going to produce over the next few weeks are going to be based on that series of sketches. Just wanted to put that out there in case anyone wanted to claim they were a rip off of one franchise or another.
Thanks to the rest of you for your compliments, too. | |

| Post restructured, new interior photos added, decided on ship type and ship class.
I think that about wraps it up for this ship, but I may revisit it later and add more details/explanations.
Please let me know if you found the 2D mini maps at the bottom corners helpful or too corny.

No, I like it, the mini map included. The interior is quite realistic, so is the exterior. Great work, you designs aren't fancy and frilly like mine, but they are awesome all the same. | |

| Liberty Class Freighter- Spoiler:
Class: Liberty Type: Medium Freighter Dimensions: L = 275 m, W = 59 m, H = 72 m Role: Transporting Trade Goods and Military Assets
Description: The Liberty Class Freighter is a reliable transport for hard times. Being the backbone of both the Terran Confederacy's economy and military, the Liberty adheres to demanding specifications. Its four large thrusters are made for power, easy repair, and reliability. The heavy cruiser sized engine provides power for its thrusters, cruiser-strength shield emitter, and ample sensors with enough left over for powering necessary systems for its cargo. The large reinforced body provides 16 cargo hard points capable of carrying up to 26010 cubic meters of cargo, not to mention an additional 40,000 cubic meters of internal storage space for fuel and other liquid cargoes. The cargo space is compliant with the Company Standard measurement of 25x25x25 block spaces for quick storage and removal.

Great work, you designs aren't fancy and frilly like mine, but they are awesome all the same. Thanks Lord Mackeroth, I'm going for a very sparten military look with my ships. I'm getting my inspiration from WWI and WWII dreadnaughts and then throwing a bit of BSG design into the mix. I want the end product to be simple and obvious to its purpose.
How do you design your ships and how is the Banhammer coming along?
. Just call me Doc. Most everyone else does. Anyway, I'll show you a picture of one of my cargo ships (I couldn't be bothered to take a picture of it myself, this one is off Danice's Server's thread: - Spoiler:
Note that this is a cargo ship, designed to be functional rather than aesthetically pleasing. I'll find a picture of my/Pat's battle cuiser/drone ship. | |
