I just had a situation in my current campaign that I thought I would share. One race has found a population of another and sent in a couple of small scout ships. One scout ship headed directly for the population on the third planet while the other headed for the fourth planet, which was on the far side of the star. The first ship got detected and had to retreat but the other scout entered orbit of the fourth planet and deactivated its engines. It now has a passive signature of 0.03, making it virtually undetectable on a passive scan. While it lies low, the third and fourth planets move closer together, giving it a close look at the enemy population, while the population does not suspect its presence.

Very cool.
Ty for useful "Scouting" info,Steve..am lost in ur big program,..P

I gotta admit, when I saw the name (specifically the "Light Carrier" bit), and then saw the mass of the ship, I had a good chuckle - 26K tons is classed as "light".....
-
Yeah..but an "Carrier" Light under 20k tons r very ridicolous..ive been test some design..and "for me" a good Fighter Screen for an Light Carrier are MINIMAL 10 Fighters..
So ive an Heavy carrier on Duty 180.000 tons class....and 40+ Fighters on-board.
Maintenance,fuel,services,hangars,magazines ecc.ecc..26k r very low all that:)

I'd like to counter your fleet with mine. I'll limit it to 100k tons, the approximate tonnage of your carriers. I've not included a collier, tanker or jump ship as those I'd place into a support group assigned to the combat group.

Please note that these designs are all untested and built with maximum tech of 15k RP. My general philosophy is that a carrier's offensive armaments are the fighters, so the only weapons they should mount are defensive.
For support purposes, this fleet would require minimum 1 jump ship capable of 10k ton transit, 1 tanker and 1 collier.
I've combined the jump ship with fuel and magazine space for a secondary collier/tanker. The main collier/tanker is a combined design.

err..Erik..
CARRIERS
level armor=1
Maint failure 800%??
BUT..Escort 8000t-class have them:)..so an ESCORT 8000t and Carrier 10000 only?srry..
Obviously ur ships lack on Armor and maintenance.
And this 2 voice count HEAVILY on building mass:D..
U prob play without maintenance?
And armor-shields are a BIG part on ships design in REAL life:)
Ty for useful design,but am love hardest situation.
There ARENT in a Sea..we r in a huge Space.We need more and more logistical...when u r far from nearest Base 100-200-300 days.
-
In various campaign ive separated twos..but ive found in our Real Naval doctrine a good mix.
And in fact the next step r the difficult to protect both....so am unite them in one.
A single Squadroon MUST r little independence,otherwise for support squadroon am need ANOTHER escort squadroon and so on..
Eventually in a single Cruiser or Battle or Carrier Squadroon am raise up the level and type of ecort Class,for point defend duty,and for escort to Support vessel duty.
Jump advance with Combat vessels,then followd by logistical and escort.
A Fleets (normally 3 to 10 Squadroons) become more elastic and better check maintenance-refueled.
Srry for my bad english mate:)
-
So u think,WHY build up another Escort Squadroon if an single squadroon r semi-indepent?
ES (Escort Squadroon) can have some light duty,patrol,escort future civilians,support a battle Squadroon in control a ENTIRE solar system (duty for a entire fleet i think)
5-8 Missile Frigates
4 Destroyer Escort
1 Tanker
1 Support vessel
1 AEW /Early Warn Craft)
1 MineLayer
1 Collier
1 Scout-Courier

Carriers are not meant to be in the thick of battle. They are meant to hang back and let their fighters do the work.
And yes, I usually play without maintenance.
-
Srry Erik,my english r bad so pls dont think am critic ur design,srry if u understand this.
But my Naval Design Bureau think another : Battleships Armor can easily reach 100level..a Cruiser Armored i think 8 to 15..and am think an Carrier can reach so a 8 to 15 levels..
1 are = Eggshell no? in Space debris,roids etc make them easy to breach..i think on RolePlaying Mode..so maintenance and Armor in REAL situation has been setup..no?
-
In Megatravller,and Steve know very good where r the best RPG Sci-Fi game and awesome rules,are two Naval Doctrine.
In Aurora r same.And same are the trouble who pose this..
Jump Fleet Tender: 1 single ship can jump and all ships in Squadroon cant jmp without them.
Good: more space for weapons and subsystem in every single ship.
Bad : if a Jump Tender r lost ALL ships are in very trouble,cut off from possibility to flee,very high possibility to LOST all Squadroon.
Single Ship Can Jump:
Good:Every Ship are capable to flee without help
Bad : Big mass for JumpDrive onboard,so every ship grow on mass,less space for weapons (same Class) and subsystems.
I think the "JumpTenderSquadroon" are good for first years of Empire's Life..but when resources come high,and are hundreds strategical Systems to defend,better build up an strongh Fleet who had JumpCapable every single ships.
So a TAG "Imperial Squadroon" are last and better Tech Ships,Colonials Squadroon r only JumpTender,reserve and backward patrol Duty.

Until the size ratio for a Jump Engine is decent, I tend to run battle units with a tender. Survey units get dedicated jump drives. And with jump gates, one can build up large ships that would normally be limited to one system for internal defense.

Erik,every "useful Critique" are welcome!
In fact,my Sky Marshal read ur post carefully..and mumble mumble:))..
"..speed...(hmm..damn my neval engineer r very dumb?all think we must have elephant Ships..but a GAZELLE ships are the best no??hmmm...damned engineer..)..toward armor.."
Yes damn,this example of ur and mine are same in 2300 AD game: an alien race have a damned Heavy armored battleships,very hard to stop..but very easy to ambush and "hit and run" them..at long,with little lucky,a good Cruiser captains can destroy in a long run..obviously IF can continuing to flee and return..
Am near to learn Magneto..and (Oh-My-God!) we (me and my Sky marshal) become sure CRAZY,we have 9 Squadroon active,3 on duty very far (more than 200day away from our home bases..)and 6 are to have completely upgrade drive...(oh-My-God)
Probably my Sky Marshal,after read ur doctrine,tell my engineer to project a very newly Classes of ships..from Escrot to Cruiser to Carriers..BUT..ever with decent Armor..
a hard work awaitn me in some "game" months..
And yes,ive understand well ur article from Earth:)

Very strange Erik.
But u think one: only for maintenance (and ARE real game,make maintenance in game) ive put onboard 50 Eng,total 2500 tons ONLY for maintenance,plus damage control,crew for manage them ecc.ecc...
So an Carrier 10k tons for ME are impossible..

arent FULL of weapons or others..some good passive and active sensors,little armor (5),shield,magazine,Point def,correlated FireControl,missile for fighters,hangar for 12 fighters,maintenance bay for them (other 2500tons + 2500 maintenance =5000 tons ONLY for maint ship AND fighters..THIS is a REAL game Erick srry...).-.
Ive put inside another Active,more powerful and set for anti-ship,the Arbalest r for Anti-Missile purpouse (serve to Railgun weapons)
So FOR serious player an Carrier cant fall under 20k tons..check them,are IMPOSSIBLE.

Erik,another consideration,last.Nebula Warfare
Hope u do not encounter any strategical enemy on a nebula (up to level 3)..otherwise ur ships r same as a sittind duck.
This one,sometime had remember me who am better raise armor level:)

Not at all. It's all dependent on what you not willing to relegate to a dedicated escort vs what has to remain on the carrier.
For a tactically sound carrier it needs some vary basic things. The hanger space for it's strike group, enough organic logistic support for said strike group, and enough leg to stay out of direct engagement range of the enemy fleet. All else can be handled by other ships in the fleet. Dedicated escort ships for point defense, stike ships to keep opposing strike ships at bey, an good CSP (combat space patrol) to keep opposing strike fighters off of the carrier(s), dedicated scouts to be the fleets eyes and ears.
This folds into operational and strategic levels as well. The logistics train handles the long term beans and bullets as well and parts and repair.
It's all part of the long term planning.

I would move the maintenance shops out of the carrier and into a dedicated ship (and increase their number).
I did notice on both ships (Scharnhorst and Terra Mk2) the fire control is over engineered to the weapon(s) it is controlling. You've got much higher tracking speed and range on the FC than the weapons are capable of. For me personally, the ROF on the railguns is too high for decent PD work. Fifteen seconds is a long time when you have missiles closing at 13000 km/s.
I'd also redesign the engines to drop the hyper capability. You'll get better speeds with the same engine mass.
-
About the speed-ROF and range r very useful critique..hmm.
When design FC am must take a weapons range and speed note in my mind and design a specifically FC-.
Ty.
And same for maintenance and Hyper.
my eng r too newbee am fear:))
-
One thing I like to do is design the missiles and weapons first. Then I know how far my fire control needs to work.
-
Agree for that,am copy and print from now my weapons,then design FC.
See ya into space..

I actually like it when my missiles have a little bit more reach than the fire-control. This way I can get several salvo's to arrive at the same time. I usually find a 10% of extra endurance is a good thing. It also means that firing at ships running away can be done from much closer to your fire control maximum range as well.

And I tend to prefer the missile fire control to have greater reach that the missiles actual range. Ship to ship systems having at least 50% more FC range than the missile to facilitate meeting engagements. For missile defense systems the FC range should be close to twice the range of the anti-missile so that when possible the first salvos can be intercepted at near max range.
It's really subjective based on how you plan to use the systems.

I wish I could watch you two pit your carrier fleets against each other. That would be both entertaining and educational. Especially if it could be done double blind.
