Somebody hit me if this already has been done. 

Describe your flagship on this forum, what it's carrying, weapons, stats, special equipment, etc.  I think I heard that Kal possesses an Orion double-parked somewhere at the HLP station.  Judging by some of the minds here, we're gonna have some crazy warships floating around for miles.  And don't hold back on the details, get crazy with it!  Offer a pic if you can.  Go!!  (still need time to think about my own.)


EDIT:  Forgot to mention- if it has a name, I'd be glad to hear it.

[Mars]

Standard Deimos Corvette, outfitted with MGreens rather than TerSlashes.

[spartan_0214]

Damn you Mars, that's MY ship!!!

Still, a Deimos-class Corvette, with Inferno strength beams and Railguns mounted on the front quarters....

Plus, where there's a gap on the top of the 'vette, put in a fighter-bay that can house only 3 wings (Deimos-class Corvettes are essentially anti-figher, so don't need much of an escort).

[TrashMan]

This "little" jewl (that is supposed to appear in Chapter 3 of my campaign)

(crappy and old pic, the effects are terrible..)

Post-Capella battleship, armed with 4 LRBGreens, 9x2 Ionized Plasma Cannons, 4 Nova missile Launchers and 1x2 Meson Missile Launcher + a whole horde of flak guns and gattling guns (around 40 or 50)

Warning---Extremely Detailed

Maybe I shoulda been more specific with this.  The choice of vessel does not have to be limited to Freespace only ships, this can be a Sharlin, or Star Destroyer or anything else you can think of.  Having said that, here is mine.  It took me quite a while to pick one out:



The TTBC Night Terror.  It is a drastically redesigned Star Trek Nemesis Scimitar.  First, the warp drive is non-existent, and has been replaced with a standard subspace drive (I always like subspace better), and the standard drive is instead based on the principles of a Minbari gravitic drive.  Second, it does not carry shields or a zomfg planet killing weapon.  The cloaking device is present, but can only be active for two minutes at max, and weapons cannot be engaged while it is on.  Third, it's maneuverability is limited to that of a standard corvette.  It is after all about 950 meters long and 1500 meters across.  Finally, the armament consists of the following:  10 anti-fighter Plasma Cannons, situated all over the ship, 6 forward and 2 rear mounted Plasma Beam Cannons, 2 wing mounted Plasma Assault Cannons, one under mounted strontium clad nuclear missile launcher with five rounds, and one forward mounted Subspace Disruptor Beam, a weapon based on Shivan principles that fires a miniaturized unstable terminating subspace corridor at its target.  The very small fighterbay can only hold 4 Pegasus stealth fighters, so not much help there.  The whole ship is powered by a reactor based on Shivan energy principles, and is the only way it can maintain it's firepower.  I intended for the ship to be a forward assault vessel that can provide the forward firepower of a BFRed at a fraction of the size. 

I like TrashMan's though, I seem to remember having that model somewhere. 

EDIT: Upgraded

[TrashMan]

LOL..thanks.. I've put version 1 for download on HC a while ago, but version 2 is more detailed and better textured, and I might put that for DL too

U.S.S. Sulaco
2nd Batt., 9th Regt. United States Colonial Marines

A Conestoga-class starship, the Sulaco has a mass of 78,000 metric tons and length 385 meters. She's primarily a troop carrier, having been originally designed as a troop & logistics transport and subsequently converted into a rapid-response military transport. Sulaco carries two UD4L dropships and has sufficient life support capabilities for 90 crew and passengers. In an emergency, as many as 2,000 troops can be placed in hibernation in the main cargo hangars.

Armaments include:
    * Eight long-range ASAT missiles fired from the dorsal launch bay.
    * Two forward-firing 800 MeV Neutral Particle Beam weapons, which can disable the electronics systems of   
    enemy spacecraft out to a range of 100,000 km.
    * Four (two twin turrets, one dorsal, one ventral) Kinetic Energy Railguns.
    * Two 80 MW point-defence lasers for vaporizing incoming missiles and kinetic energy rounds.
    * Ventral mine dispenser, with a magazine of up to 60 orbital fragmentation mines.
    * Up to 80 guided re-entry vehicles including bunker buster, high-explosive, and nuclear warheads.
    * 20 decoy ballutes and two maneuverable decoy drones in after ventral bay.

She is powered by a 3.6 terawatt fusion reactor using high density lithium hydride for fuel. Sublight propulsion is provided by four GF-2400 rocket motors using industrial carbon-diamond as reaction mass. FTL propulsion is provided by a hyperdrive tachyon shunt, with a maximum speed of 0.74 light years per sidereal day. The Sulaco's hull panels are constructed from radar absorbing material, which reduces the ship's radar cross section to low levels.

[spartan_0214]

Oh, non-Freespace cap ships..

Definitely the POA:

[ToecrusherHammerjaw]

   Ooooh!! Halcyon class battlecruisers are so nice! Good choice!  Any special name of your own for that?

[Mad Bomber]

My personal starship?

A Spathi Eluder.

Never know when I might have to run away from The Ultimate Evil! 

[AdmiralRalwood]

Everyone loves a good Star Control reference.

Although my preference would have to be for the Chmmr Avatar, of course.

[Blue Haired Maniac]

Here's my flagship...



Because the ship I was on was blown away by the Kilrathi.

[asyikarea51]

Mine would be an uber-leeterised version of the Pyro-GX.

The only thing it can't do is destroy a planet, or any other task of similar (or greater) gargantuan scale. It has the capability, but not the methods (think FS1 when the Ancients video mentioned the Luci and its shields)... so if it was further modded by engineers and stuff (e.g. swap the weapon loadouts), it can pretty much wreck the *TOOOOT*ing *toooot* out of anything and everything, I guess...

I got the idea through the Descent 2 outtro and the Descent 3 intro. Strange as it might be, I really felt for that old ship. I was like, "noooo... it's going to die... it's going to die... never!!! it will survive teh scorching heat of the stars!!! the ever invincible fighter for a pilot of the highest order!!! (a.k.a. Alpha 1/some loser-turned-hero/yadda yadda) grAAAAARRRRRR!!!"

That's about it.

[BS403]

An Aeolus Modfied with two Usilv and the rest anti-fighter beams
Also would have the lucifer's inpenatrable shields

[Taristin]

An Anuket. **** all of you metagamers.

Dont judge me, i love this stuff.

[Mathwiz6]

Metagame: Icanus. Nothing screams "Phear me!" more than a 25K ship that is essentially built around a big beam cannon.

Otherwise, the Hecate, just because it looks flagship-y. Though it still is pretty weak.

[BlackDove]

Deimos that is modified to keep three Erinyes fighters in the special hangar.

Has the power to neutralize any ship in FS ever, even the Sathanas if it is tactically deployed.

[Dark RevenantX]

I have the flying toaster.  It is indestructable and has a deadly attack.  The ammo is in very large supply and costs about .02¢ to make (including the energy bill).  It is a very cramped vessel, however, requiring the users to pass through the shrink beam.
