« on: July 09, 2025, 12:24:48 AM »One final(ish) update to the thread, in this case a different approach to my Q-Ship design:
As you can see, the original concept is a thoroughly commercial design with no military components. It carried two sensor pods to provide active detection for its onboard cargo of missile pods, but had no sensors of its own, and no protection beyond those missile pods and the CIWS.
The revised version of the Gottenberg retains only the commercial engines and the commercial warshawki drive. The damage control has been replaced with a military one, I've armoured the design (albeit with a thinner belt than even a humble destroyer), given it two sidewalls from a destroyer as well, and increased the number of CIWS from one to four. Military hangers have been introduced, allowing me to make savings on mass that I've put into sensors, countermissile tubes and magazines, not to mention adding onboard missile launchers and lasers. I've dropped the number of pods that would be carried down to 110 as there is no need for the sensor pods anymore, and there's sufficient space remaining for four of the Greyhound-class LAC's. In addition, I've also allowed for sufficient missiles to rearm both the pods and the Greyhound's onboard missile cells a number of times.
