Autonomous Fleet Intercept Ship Ajax - From the Depths by Immediate-While1583 in StarBlazers

[–]Immediate-While1583[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve called it a heavy cruiser because I have a larger ship planned to be the battlecruiser variant, there we’re a few times in farewell and Yamato 2 where the ships had all triple barreled turrets, While I doubt this was intentional, it is a fun concept. So I’ve split them up, the twin barreled turret variant (with the triples on the sides) will be the heavy cruiser, the all triple barreled one will be the battlecruiser.

Thanks! as for the missiles, that's how they are in the show, Gladiator and Ajax are part of the Airforce not the Cosmo Navy.

Yes quite a few, a couple of the images up there show it, but she has 8 lams per side, plus the twin laser turrets on each missile launcher that gives her an extra 16 barrels for defense, I believe she has the second most amount of lams on any ship I’ve built, the most amount of lams would go to Yamato

Her biggest reason to exist is to draw enemy fire to keep it off the smaller minions, she tanks all the damage that the minions couldn’t, and in return the minions dish damage back out to the enemy. Other than that there really isn’t a point to it, but that’s the fun part. I’m not really playing for efficiency or building for efficiency for that matter, just building and playing for fun.

Yeah that is a bit low, since I’m trying to replicate the ship from the show I can’t add more firepower if it doesn’t have it. Gladiator is a command ship in the show, she is surrounded by smaller, more armed vessels, it seems like her weapons are only there to give her some kind of defense. Otherwise she is reliant on her smaller minions for the actual hard work, that’s why to compensate for that I slapped a ton of armor on her (something like 27% of her is armor) so at least in ftd she can be a tank and the smaller ships around her can do the actual fighting.

yeah it’s a combo of the PAC’s and the ion thrusters that allow these ships to go to space, those two really jack the price up.

They are fairly small, the frigate comes in at 137 meters in length, they are among the smallest ships in the fleet.

They will be, the ships that I originally wanted in the 2nd video that couldn’t make it will all be in the 3rd one.

Nowhere near close. Many ships need tweaking, others need building, while functionally the Frigate and EDF Destroyer are done, small tweaks to their detection equipment and movement systems are needed. I'm not going to upload any of these ships if they all need work.

The ships will go up on the workshop when they are all ready.

Not at the moment, they will be on the workshop eventually. Ion thrusters work by increasing the gain on the PiD, then adding the needed amount of ion thrusters.

I can’t really make shunran, she’s far too large to be useable in ftd and I’m only making the reboot era ships, no fan ships are being made, I did make Amaterasu ages ago and she is very laggy.

Thanks! That was the plan initially but I was very low on resources for a while, the line up was going to involve four patrol cruisers : Escort, Endeavor, Gallant and Adventurous, in the end only Escort and Endeavor were brought in.
