83athom:
This area of the forum has been quiet recently, so I'm changing that. I'm hoping this will become like the "What Is Going On In Your Battlefield/Empire" topic. Just post your ship designs here. No designated topic restrictions here, just "I designed this, it is my baby.", no history, just ships and maybe some doctrine discussion. And no direct critique of ships unless asked for please, some (like me) like to design things differently than others. I really wan't to see what some of you are coming up with instead of examples for people asking questions. Since I started the topic I'll go first.

This is my first frigate in my current game (non have been built yet as I'm still modifying the design slightly) as I am just now starting militaristic push.

I'm hopping to increase this design to at least 100k tons. Any input besides "remove this and that/make it smaller/balance/do something different" would be helpful. Note; Stuff is still missing since it is WIP ie AMM launchers, mines/torpedo launcher (yes I will have a few), ect.
So, what do you guys have/roll with?
mtm84:
My hobby? Shoehorning WW1 and WW2 ships into Aurora. This one doesn't quite match up because I also was trying to shoehorn it with a common engine size system as well. They tend to be totally worthless compared to NPCs and spoiler races, but the RP value is highly entertaining.

83athom, are those . 5hs gauss turrets really 100k tracking speed? doesn't that make them way heavier then they should be?

Yes, yes they are. But they aren't even 2 HS.

Wow, that 30000 ton frigate in the first post is almost twice the size of the Battleship mtm84 posted :o

Taking inspiration from the "Tie Fighter" thread I developed this design in my current game. Had x20 of them in one squadron. They did great against some precursor missile frigates got right up to them at point blank range and annihilated them in one alpha strike volley of lasers. The two precursor space station's/PDC managed to take the whole squadron down with a mixture of AMM's and their own energy weapons and took down all my missiles. Every single last one! I guess Ion Engine tech isn't ideal for missile designs
Might as well post the rest of my current designs. They are not the best ships I've designed I tend to start building a military when I get to Internal Fusion Engine era tech. Feel like I need to go back to the drawing board with all of them or build a new generation of ships. Especially need a new missile design the Blitzkrieg hasn't performed very well.
