$Name: GTSmC Neptune
$Short name: TSCorvette
$Species: Terran
+Tech Description:
XSTR("The GTmC Neptune is an advanced new design made specifically to test out the new Knossos technology. Thanks to this technology it can stay in a trandsdimentional subspace layer allowing it to stay completely hidden for months at a time within a system, it can use very unstable nodes, and can make inter system jumps up to three times as far out as any other jump drive system has been able to, and given time it can produce a temporary intersystem node to any nearby systems, all this has made the Neptune a favorite for the SOC. But one of its most tactically useful roles is as a SubSpace Munitions (SSM) launcher, allowing it to fire a nearly unlimited string of bombs at targets in normal space from anywhere in a system. It also has the ability to project subspace incursions allowing it to push small objects into subspace to facilitate mass capture of cargo and small ships, and there are experiments attempting to use this to rip a target ship apart by pushing parts of larger ships to different sections of a system.", 3166)

no you don't have the pof for the bomb, becase BWO is useing it, just change it to helios.pof, but the ship is fairly done, I'll make a final vertion when I make a new POF for the missle.

Great ship!
-
well I got the idea during one of those classifucation discutions when someone mentioned that frigets were mostly sub hunters, so I thought, there are no subs. then I found the SSM, and I thought there are no ships to fire it.
anyway think of this thing as a stealth capshipcan't realy be detected, and can come out of nowere and launch a massive voly of torpedos to pumle smaller ships, or can launch the torps from subspace for nuking larger ships in safety.

How are you supposed to fight against something like that?
-
devine intervention (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
well you'd have to fight it the same way that subs are fought today, subspace depth charges. you senda bomb into subspace and if you can guess it's subspace layer you can nock it out into normal space forcably.
or you could lay a trap, make it think it's won, it comes into the aria to capture cargo and disabled ships you jump in with a couple of bombers and some destroiers nock out its vulnerable exposed jump drive and it's dead becase it's actual weaponry is mostly huge turrets and a few fish launchers, it only has three anti capship beams mounted on the front.

(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif) Fish launchers? Is that for distracting head-hunting Vasudans?
Nice model, much better than anything i've come up with.

Pirahna.
This is a really powerful little ship. At least if used like it's supposed to be used.
So, can you send some small ships into subspace to blast it? If you can send "subspace depth charges", I don't see why you couldn't send a fighter. At least a specialized subspace fighter.
-
I actualy made a bunch of subspace modified fighters and bombers, and if you can get to it this ship isn't very good at defending herself, (from cap ships at least, prety good with fighters and bombers) it would be good for an escort mission, say it needs to get into alighnment with the gravity well of a large planet in order to enter a subspace apature and it's stuck in normal space for a few minutes, or hae it getting nocked out of subspace and you have to defend it until the knosial coials can be repaired. if you fail then the next mission you won't have SSM.

I remember. Pretty cool-looking.
So, any idea to make an Anti-sub capship? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Like a frigate or something similar?
-
maybe.
it'd probly ba a cross between an AWACS and a corvette.
------------------

I've got a little idea in my head...
Can you put the warpout ani as an impact explosion? That'd make a nice little effect... suited for what I have in mind.
-
Bobboau, wouldn't the ship look cooler if the knossosials interlocked when they rotated? One rotates clockwise, while the other rotates counter clockwise? Is that even possible? How did the Knossos do it?
Probably had one go faster than the other so it seemed like it went that way (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
[edit] I checked, if you put a negetive rotation time, the peices interlock, would be cool on this ship (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)[/edit]

I rememebr that I think UA did that, with their black hole bomb... hella deadly...
-
Yeah, my idea was to make a ship with missile launchers pointing up/down. Then make an invisible plane a bit under/over the ship. Then make a missile with the warpout ani as an impact ani and 0 damage, and when you launch that missile it strikes the invisible plane and explodes, giving the impression that it jumped into subspace to smack the sub (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
hm... good idea, but if the object is textured with invisible, then weapons will fly righ through them... it would be better to have the missiles have a very short life, so they blow up 1 sec after launch.

Hmmm.... that's a heck of a lot of offensive weaponry if you use the CapShip Turret Upgrade ("http://michael.randelman.com/")... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

That's probably a better idea. My mind is WAY too complicated (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
And no, they will only fly through it if the ship has the "no collide invisible" tag, IIRC.

well it depends, if there are several fighters TAGing it and targeting it with lazers and an AWACS to transpond all that targeting data into subspace, then it would probly take somewere in the vasenity of five minutes, if the ravans somehow found a neptune and a direct conflict ensued, it would take about a minute for the ravana to rip it apart, but the ravana would probly be damaged by about 10-40% depending on how far away and if it jumped in in front or behind it. you must remember this isn't a super ship, it is smaller than a standard corvette, it relys on stealth and speed.
a mission it would be great for would be a raid n a cargo depot, it would nock out the capships from subspace then jump in and with fighter escort would begin pushing the cargo into subspace were they would travle to a predefind retreval zone, then submerge back to it's mysterius dark relm.

Dark Breed, has died slowly, no one else on the team did anything and I posted an anoouncment on our inturnal forums about four months ago and have yet to hear a responce. I'm gona try restarting it after BWO with some help. the AC Malia was once a cruser to be seen in Dark Breed.

very nice, i wanted to build a subspace instalation that could fade in and out of subspace. while in subspace it would provide all tha ammo for the ssm. it would get knocked out of subspace if a big enough capship fired off its motivators in the stations vacinity. but the freespace code as it stands in incapable of this.
now as it seems this ship of yours (all be it very cool) is not very good at open space firefights. the ragnarok class corvette (finally named the damn thing, doom of the gods in norse mytology) on the other hand is designed for hit and runs. it warps in 10 clicks out, starts launching its first pair mesons closes to about 6 clicks and releases a volly of 8 fusion warheads every 6 seconds. and then its beams come in range by the time the mesons are ready to go again. pulled off correctly ragnarok can crush any shivan destroyer by itself (unless it makes itself a target of a couple well plased BFRED blasts). a small group of 3 of them will be fully capable of taking out a fully powered sathanas. those who built ragnarok obviously got ahold of the sj sathanas tactical manual.
