Ships of the Hallowed Seraph Imperium

[MehMuffin (OP)]

Started building up my navy in my current game, right now I just have the scout ship below, but I'll be building the missile/carrier battle group as soon as I have the supplies and fighters and missiles to provide for them, I'll post those in this thread as well, and I'll probably use this for my follow up empire in 5.70 as well.


The Andromeda is designed to be a long range, fast scout capable of searching systems for signs of life and then exploring the next JP.

And now, the missiles that my combat ships will be using eventually:

The Gargoyle AMM is designed with speed in mind over range, but I'm uncertain as to whether or not my balancing of those to attributes is good:

A quick glance at the AMM to hit chance tells me that you need to trade some engine space for agility. It's not going to be shooting down many missiles in its current state. (71% chance to hit targets going 10km/s.)

[Panopticon]

Admiral666 has it right as far as AMM goes, trade some speed for agility otherwise you won't be hitting any reasonably competent missiles.

As to the others I like em fine, but your main missile combatant should probably have deeper magazines, I am not really a fan of combining energy and missile weapons on one ship, so if it was me I would swap out the energy weapons and supporting systems for more launchers and magazines, plus additional fire controls.

That is of course a matter of personal taste, if you like your beams then keep them, but I would see about getting more fire controls in there, engaging more than one target at a time is really helpful, for missiles I like to have one FC per 5 launchers, for energy I like 1 FC per 2 weapons, but a one to one ratio is good too. My reasons being that the ships that end up point blank are often the small ones that sneak in under your sensors or on a jump point, and there are often lots of them and it is often overkill to shoot more than one shot at em.

I think in general your fleet has way more fuel and maintenance than it needs, you could probably get away with a smaller endurance all around unless your empire is really widespread, this would be a good way to pack more sensors in on the main combatant.

If you can't get deeper magazines consider designing a collier to accompany the fleet for reloading on offensive operations.

[Theokrat]

As noted your AMM have way too little agility, but that also applies to your ASM. For AMMs you might want to have a look at blue emu’s missile guide. For ASM’s I value speed a bit more than him, but as a rule of thumb ASMs should have at least an agility rating of 11. This is because the “first” agility point which increases the rating from 10 to 11 is only half as costly, while already increasing your hitchance by 10% (not percentage points).
The armour of your ships is a bit low, and the distribution across the ships is a bit curious.

• For one thing an amour rating of 1 is very small, as even a single hit of an enemy missile will cause internal damage to your ships. If you are very unlucky it might hit a magazine and blow up the whole ship. Seeing how costly it can be to avoid a single hit, you would be very much likely better off by using at least a bit more armour (circa 3 rows). This would allow to absorb single hits without endangering the entire ship.
• Secondly, if you are going to differentiate between the ships, then I would put most armour on the beam defence ships. AMM ships are mostly constrained by the magazine capacity, i.e. they are only likely to be hit when they have already drained their magazines. But in this situation they have also become quite useless, since they cant contribute anything to the battle that is being fought anymore. Conversely beam PD ships are much more prone to hit during their standard mission, since they can only engage enemy missiles when they are about to hit. So they profit much more from passive protection than missile ships.

As others have noted an anti-ship-beam/missile combination rarely works well. Beams are a close range weapon, which means they are only useful in a limited set of circumstances and should be optimized to those. Beam ships can be used to i) close in to the enemy under fire, which will take hours and means the beam warships must be very fast to achieve this at all and very sturdy to withstand a lot of fire. Having missile launchers makes exactly that less likely as they invariably slow down the ship or reduce the space left for protection. Or ii) to defend jumpgates in which case the beam ships should have the most available firepower to quickly destroy enemies. In this case the most firepower is either provided by missiles or beams, and only the one with more punch should be packed. Iii) lastly beams can be used against beam-armed enemies that manage to close in. In this case you need the best available firepower (again), to get on equal grounds. At any rate: There is no situation in which a combination is worthwhile.

You use 13 engines for designs of 10,000t. This is a bit restricitive because you cannot easily  design smaller ships with the same standard speed, nor ships that are only a little bit heavier. It usually allows a bit more flexibility to use ratios that are a bit more dividable. Say if you used 12 engines for your ships instead, then you could also easily design a 5,000t vessel with six engines and the same speed (say a collier), or you could decide to use a bit heavier design of 12,500t with 15 engines (say a flag ship)– all with the same speed. Right now you cant do that without wasting engine space.
I like the “fast” Gaussguns, but I am wondering why you would use the slow ones. The low tracking speed severely reduces their effectiveness against enemy missiles, so the fast ones are quite certainly the more efficient choice. I suspect you skimmed of the weight so that you match the 10,000t design restriction, but as discussed above that is largely self-imposed.
As noted by others the fuel, and in particular the maintenance capacities are quite high. Unless you actually plan to use the ships in open space for very prolonged periods, you are much better of sacrificing some of this space for more battle-worthiness.

[Rastaman]

The main reason against multirole ships, that is ships that do ASM, AMM, AS Beam and AM Beam all at once, is too much redundancy in fire control, something which is only an issue at low tech levels. At TL 5 or 6 multirole is possible and has its advantages.

Could you name one advantage of combining ASM and AS Beam ships into one multirole design that would not apply to the same weapons being present in two different ships?

[metalax]

Could you name one advantage of combining ASM and AS Beam ships into one multirole design that would not apply to the same weapons being present in two different ships?

The primary one would be more ships under construction at once, as you only need one slipway rather than the two for seperate ships. Of course this only applies if you have a sufficiently large shipyard to build the multirole ship. For a combined ASM/beam ship, designing it primarily as a beam ship with a stack of box launchers strapped to it to give a big alpha strike capability can prove effective.

Note that the argument against multi-role is much more strong for combining combatant and non-combatant roles, e.g. combat, grav survey, geo survey, jump, sensor, ....  Take a ship with grav and geo survey that is also jump capable, for example.  While the ship is grav surveying, it's geo survey and jump tonnage is unused (no Return On Investment).  While geo surveying, no ROI on grav survey and jump tonnage.  If you use it as a jump ship, no ROI on the survey equipment.  So the problem is that a single ship can only be in one place at once.

For combat ships, this issue boils down to "what roles to you want for your TG?"  In other words, do you want to give them both beam and missile capability, or have them be "pure".  Since beam and missile have very different engagement ranges (and tactics - charge vs. keep range open), a mixed TG will have "wasted" capabilities at any one time - if keeping the range open there won't be beam capability.  So multi-role ships give you less tactical flexibility to make pure TG, but other than that it's going to be a wash to a large extent.

First off, my command frigate, with boosted versions of the entire fleets sensor capability. It can provide long range sensor coverage for the entire fleet, but all of my ships are still fitted with appropriate individual sensors for their weapons only just in case it is destroyed. It has additional armor and shields compared to the rest of the fleet, as it will likely be targeted first off, and carries a few SWACs and a jump scout.

[MehMuffin (OP)]

Well, I haven't actually found anything to kill yet( ), so that might be a while.
Oops!  I had the ordnance numbers from the double sized Majestic there, it should have 250 Serpentine Mk. IIIs and 500 Gargoyle Mk. IIs. I also forgot to update a few ships to the Serpentine Mk. III (The one with thermal sensors(Can they detect ships right on top of them?)), that should be what's in the Fenrir and Majestic's magazines.
