Title: Concepts, Mechanical...
Post by: Thaeris on June 01, 2011, 02:39:49 pm
Being part of a rather slow day is conducive to a bit of light conceptual browsing. I encourage any and all to comment and contribute. Let us begin...

Although a submarine, I want this as a space ship.

That's old as hell, Mustang! :lol:

I really like the sub Thaeris, and I agree that, with some modifications to its design, a starship like that would be pretty cool

It's the SeaQuest!

...actually no, but that'd be pretty cool as one.

Actually it sorta reminds me of those advanced Zumwalt destroyer concepts the navy keeps kicking around.

I immediately thought the same thing when I saw it. If the sub had a 3-inch or 5-inch gun, it would be epic.

:D

Zumwalts have already been laid down, man.

Any idea of what's to be done with the Zumwalt's VLS? I believe I read on Raetheon's webpage that the system is supposed to support the SM-series missiles, yet I've also heard conflicting reports that the system DOES NOT, which is a serious issue. That fancy radar isn't quite as good when it can't point missiles of its own.
