New FNE "Ironsides F II" revised

[waresky (OP)]

The situation with our Drive tech (MOST real possible dating,am not think on 2190 we can have a SuperMarvelAnti-Matter Drive..guys:)..stop our Naval Designer many step back.

(srry my english r very puny for explain my thinking)hope r barely understandable.

Missile to hit chances are vs targets moving at 3000 km/s, 5000 km/s and 10,000 km/s

This design is classed as a military vessel for maintenance purposes
so this newly Battlecruiser r very slow compared some Hyperraces around in ur empire.
BUT r more realistic.
Am think with this limitation,our NavalDesigner r too confident on waste resources and time to build this SittingDuckmonster.
but our tech r this..and this r our capability.

I have played around with the ship disign thingy and have created this one.

Note: This is no actual ship design, I only used this to try a few things.

I used the largest passive and active sensors I have currently designed, but I realize, those are way smaller than yours, so I have a mass-advantage there (not an intel one though). I would, however, use a dedicated fleet scout, that will hang back a couple million km if the need for longer range sensors comes up.

The big thing I did was using unarmored engines. If your armored ones mass 450t (I have never tried armored engines), as you said for your moster battleship, by this I save 3.600t. This alone would allow to up the armor to 9, which, IMO, is much better protection than armoring the engines alone.
Just to see what can be done, I used the saved mass from my smaller sensors to up the armor and shields even more, giving me a real "Ironclad".
I also use engines, which do not trade power for fuel efficiency/safety from explosion on the theory that by armoring up my ship and being faster, the engines will be less likely to be hit (by the time the armor is breached, the ship will be out of ammo anyway and being slow as it is, it _will_ go down enventually)

I realy like the massive magazines, your ships have  

Your ship is also very, very fuel efficient. I would have to at least double the fuel storage in my ship to make it viable. But while fuel efficiency will bring you to the battle, it won´t help you _in_ the battle, so I practically never trade speed for range (in military ships, that is).

Nice design.
the beautiful Steve's program are..never same design can afford in 2 campaign,or very rare.IF one year or another this game come online r very tricky for those capability.
U have point to me a very intriguing design idea,for my techDrive capability..armor drive vs armor ship..and so on.
Also..danke mate:)
