Actually, i want a Fairground ride powered by a circuitboard that some speccy kid dreamed up in the movie Explorers, It has ludicrous speed. Plonk in an infinate improbability drive and i'm sold

RPDS Albatros, Peregrine Class Dispatch Frigate in the Pegasus Republic Fleet

Length = 98m
Decks = 6
Crew = 35 (6 Officers, 29 enlisted), Space for up to 18 passengers
Speed = Sublight Standard Acceleration = 8g, Maximum Emergency Acceleration = 13.6 g
Jump efficiency = 0.99875
Armament =

• 2 Forward Pointed Ion Beam Cannons
• 6 Firestorm Ship to Ship Torpedo Launchers
• 4 Plasma Charge Launchers
• 6 Turreted KE Cannons
• 8 Omnidirectional Point Defense Cannons

Fighter Capacity = None
Hangar Bay Space = Space for two shuttles, Typically only equipped with one to allow room to receive other shuttles.

The Peregrine Class Dispatch Frigate is an older design, among the oldest still seeing active service in the Protectorate navy, as well as in the armed forces of almost all smaller nations, but regular upgrades have allowed most of these ships to hold their own against more modern altrernatives. Designed as a faster than light message and dispatch carrier, the Peregrine's light armament is offset by its extreme speed and reputation for toughness.

When not ferrying messages, these vessels are often used as inter stellar or inter planetary transports for high ranking or important individuals who need to move from place to place in a hurry.





And, the pic. Apologies for the low polyness - I have a high poly version, but it's saved as a .max rather than a .3ds, so I can't access it until I get another copy of Max installed.

I liked your first entry better.  Very cool looking vessel.

And in light of the stuff I'm seeing pop up around here, the Night Terror has received a slight upgrade.

Fair enough, confederate vessel FTW.
In lieu of the crew to operate the Concordia, the Wolfhound can be pretty self regulating. So i chose it
screw the Tigers Claw, admiral Banbridge is hard as nails.....

[TrashMan]

Hmm... as my back-up flaghips I choose this one :

[Aardwolf]

Excellent choice, too bad I didn't think of that one... come to think of it, I still haven't thought of one.

UEG Spartan, UE-300.  Helm Class Destroyer

Once a top ship of the line, the Helm class has been replaced by newer and more powerful ships.  often used as picket vessels at jump points.

The Helm class ships served with distinction in the Confederation wars in both the United Earth Navy and The Colonial Confederation Fleet.  Historians credit it as the last destroyer designed for the whole of Humanity, as its replacements are being designed for exclusive use by one of the two superpowers.  The most famous Helm was the UEG Samurai, which in the Battle of Vega was briefly commanded by the Legendary Admiral Starling.  Starling's command ship, UEG Nightfall, had been previously damaged and unable to join the battle.   with the Samurai, Starling successfully defeated the CCF, only to lose the system two months later.

UEG Spartan served the UEN second battle group as its flagship for 4 years.  Commanded by Admiral Adrian Johnson, the Spartan was moderately successful in a number of engagements.  unfortunately, its career was cut short by the launch of the Broad Sword Class Heavy Cruisers, which filled a similar role at a much lower operating cost.  Too new to simply retire, UEG Spartan was given a major overhaul, and sent to guard The Gates of Leoniadas, which was the space between binary planets in a highly deadly Pulsar system, with the Gate being the only safe spot for a rest point between the two jump points at either end of the gap.  positioned in between the Colonial Confederation and UEG space, it is an underused passageway to the heart of UEG space.


This ship, previously mentioned in my Theories of Starship Design thread, is the basis for a class project based on the above scenario,, a retelling of before the Battle of Thermoplyae.  the design is based on a helmet.  Pictures and animation will be forth coming.

All work is to be done in Maya 8, AE7 and Photoshop CS2.

I peronsally like the idea of an orion modifed with BVas and Vslash beams myself. That or a hecate armed simarilarly.

*Mega-Maid*

Ship is too big.  If I walk, the movie will be over.

[Polpolion]

big ship in the middle.

[spartan_0214]

is that ship supposed to be gigas to gargant sized?

[Mustang19]

Nice drawing... how long did it take you to make that?  I didn't know Microsoft Paint could be so cool!

GTVA 3rd Fleet Headquarters during Dunkerque, looking for my bunny toy.

Was escargot before I made it to Lambda 2.

[Polpolion]

It's a bit bigger than the Iceni.

[spartan_0214]

bigger than the Iceni...scary

[AdmiralRalwood]

bigger than the Iceni...scary

Why is that scary? It's not like the Iceni's very big.

[Polpolion]

Okay, excact measurements:

903.742 meters

not sure how big that relativly is.

[Dark Hunter]

Less than one klick = small 

My flagship: Perfectly spherical, no obvious front or back or top or bottom... with beam cannons on each face. It's about two klicks in diameter.

What's with ships having ups and downs and fronts and backs anyway? This is space, after all! In my mind: the SphereShip is the ideal destroyer!

(and no, I was not thinking of the Borg Sphere when I thought this up)

[AdmiralRalwood]

My flagship: Perfectly spherical, no obvious front or back or top or bottom... with beam cannons on each face. It's about two klicks in diameter.

If it's perfectly spherical, how can it have faces?

(and no, I was not thinking of the Borg Cube when I thought this up)

Don't you mean Borg Sphere?
