A Giant Pirate Ship
« on: January 19, 2010, 08:32:16 PM »
For my Space Pirates Game here is the absolute largest ship they could jam a military jump drive into. It represents 75 years of focused research on jump drive efficency, plasma carronades, and aiming technology, and pretty much just those so it's really a giant glass cannon right now.

Code: [Select]
Rockstar class Superdreadnought    1250000 tons     191251 Crew     2147992.5 BP      TCS 25000  TH 27750  EM 0

This design is classed as a military vessel for maintenance purposes

Note all the plasma carronades, it's anti-missile system is 640 plasma carronades. Also it is massively, massively redundant with fire control and search sensors, each gun mounting it's own dedicated one of each. Finally since these are pirates, they really don't care about SAFETY so both the engines and reactors have maximum power at the cost of fuel efficency and a 35% chance to boom, but it gets it to 1110 km/s and saves space with the overcharged reactors so it's a trade off.

Comments? although the number and class of weapons will not change

More than likely I'll need to build a 1.25m ton mothership for these and maybe some assault shuttles so I can board other ships

I might as well show off the supersuper massive maximum commerical jumpdrive construction ship, it build entire colonys, but I have no shipyard big enough to build one yet

:shock:

I was going to suggest troop bays on the construction ship because dumping that much population onto a planet could cause some mighty unrest!

Currently twice the size of my largest military shipyard though. It is also using 70 year old military technology, however as no aliens threats have appeared I haven't been developing new weapons.

If ever built it will be able to shoot 30 years of missile production in its first volley alone. Each fully volley of size 1 AMMs would take 8 years for each 5 seconds of firing. Logistical nightmare. Though considering it will probably never need to fire all of its missiles at once it will probably be ok. It will only need to fire 2-5 AMMs per incoming enemy missile which will hopefully won't be 500 per volley. Also the AMMs double as fighter smackers with 4.2m range. That way they don't waste a bomb pumped x-ray bomb on a fighter.

it's actually not all that bad once you get things together... although I have 312.5 million workers on my facilities to keep it maintained once I build it. but thanks to production levels of minerals I can get more minerals faster than I can produce one, and since it doesn't need missiles it's cheaper in the long run against missile spammers

My 750 thousand ton missile cruiser doesn't take that much to maintain once I got enough maintenance facilities to overhaul it.

It is much much harder to get enough missiles for the thing to fire for any amount of time. It takes years to build SECONDS of fire. That said, it hasn't run into anything that has needed a entire volley to take out so as long as you try to conserve missiles your alirght. This goes against the grain of how I see my navy though, I think they would fire everything possible the second there was any danger to the crew.

"I'm not going to lose a single damn crewman because of some bean-counter on earth!"

"But, sir...that's thirty years of missile production!"

"Fire!!!"

Heh...that's why I've made the captain of the missile frigate a R5 post. Gotta have a high rank with a cool head. Also captains with high political rating tend to get the job because they are more likely to consider the effects of launching earth's entire supply of missiles on their career.

Finally got a big enough shipyard together to build it... it will take another 10 years and just sent my racial income into the negative to build, time to expand the civilian economy.

I have also created a new task force: System Defense Fleet: Every jump point will be picketed by at least 1 ship and every planet colony will have at least 1 spaceworthy defender is my goal, PDCs will also go with this fleet.

If you put PDCs in your fleet don't forget that the list of available commands will be reduced.  i can't remember exactly what options are removed but you may find your ships suddenly can't be given every order you want.

PDCs will have their own task groups in the task force so that problem won't arise.
