Creating Your Own Everything Mk. V

[Paragania]

So, recently, NASA has tested an 'Impossible' engine, and apparently, it worked or something. I found it rather intriguing, so it inspired me to do a redux of my old X-54B Lancer space fighter!


It has now been upgraded with a powerful pulse driver cannon and some new engines at the rear, as well as some cool Space Shuttle esque heat tiles.

Now with shading and basic colors.

To go with it, I also remade my older AIM-120C and AIM-9M to look allot nicer.

u need bombs and snacks

Not going to lie, that is god-level art IMHO.

A "Red Tail" A-7F "Strikefighter" of the 28th Fighter Squadron. This aircraft is the 11th aircraft in the squadron and belongs in Red Flight squadron. A fighter squadron is broken down into 6 flights, Red, Purple, Blue, Cyan, Green and Yellow. This aircraft belongs to the 28th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Garuda" of the San-Silvacian Air Force and such is known as "Garuda-11".

I'll need to add some targeting pods and w/e to it can launch things like AShM and guided bombs and stuff.

Bit of a throwback here - I finally scanned in one of the original pencil plans that would eventually become the lightjammer Thunder Oak.

Most of the major design elements are the same. However, the ship shown here appears a little less advanced than Thunder Oak, and a few of its tail components are different - for example, Thunder Oak had spaceplanes instead of shuttles, and comsats instead of beacons. It seems plausible that Thunder Oak was a later ship based on this one - which it is, when you think about it.
It's also worth noting that the original idea was for the lightjammer's tow pylons to have three sections rather than two, although I abandoned this as impractical. The idea of having stays running from the main hull to the tips of the pylons was also discarded, although that could perhaps be something that appeared on early ships like this one, but had been dropped by Thunder Oak's time.

Edit: and then there's this nerd

who's the kind of combat automatic that a lightjammer might be contracted to deploy over an unsuspecting target's top secret lunar research lab...

is that a tank for small children?

There is literally no room for more than two people in that thing though, and no armour.

It's somewhere between the size of a TKS and a FCM 36.

Hm, scaling does seem to be a tad off...

Anyone know a decent 3-d rendering program for buildings? Low cost preferably.

It's also severely overloaded and structurally weak

Thanks Celritannia.

Have some pilots for them!



They slightly remind me of Star Wars stormtroopers though, but I guess that adds to them.

[Gallan Systems]

Not enough skirts or bunny ears unf.

Reminds me I should start spergscaling "FT" things again though I guess.

"Viky" will hate this but I'm seriously considering Luneberg lens radar antenna on space!Tank because phased arrays are for big fags lal.

I might just use a big sphere thing for the laser lens though.

Just finished my space forces insignia. Though, I'm likely to edit the crap out of it here and there; like switching from a Valknut to something Teiwaz inspired or a Tyric Spearhead.
(Influences were the Ring of Pietroassa and the Nebra Sky-Disk, some Scythian influence was applied to the Traditional Gothic Eagle)

[Torrocca]

so i was dicking around with some appearances in specific environmental lighting (specifically, in the middle of a snowstorm in winter around night-ish time and during the summer on a clear day at dawn/dusk) and now im not sure which of the two sets feels like itd work better

Nice work. It has a very British aesthetic to it. Did you run this through SpringSharp by any chance? I'm interested in the displacement, how thick the belt armor is... and how much SHP you needed to get 35 knots out of a hull like that

OP destroyer is OP

It doesn't have to, it just has to drop Long Lances and run

Currently I'm illustrating an in-canon "paper project" for a heavy cruiser with 4x2 250mm L/55 and 200mm armor... it was never built, but I wonder if the more modest design it evolved into would be a match for your cruiser class. Undergunned, but possibly better armored.

I promised it, so here it is.



Under the terms of the 1923 New Batavia Naval Limitation Treaty, "Heavy Cruiser" was defined as a surface combatant displacing between 8,000 and 15,000 tonnes standard displacement, and construction of these ships was frozen until 1929. Beginning in 1925, the Menghe Federal Republic held a series of design competitions to design the "optimal" 15,000-tonne cruiser - competitions which continued in 1927 when General Ourei Enzin seized power in a military coup.

One of the most famous designs to come out of this competition was the "IMS Taissang." It was the work of a design team led by Commodore Kapsung Suchang, who had already won fame as the chief designer of the Cheng-Emil class battlecruiser. Unlike previous entrants to the competition, who had generally preferred small "pocket battleships," Kapsung's team produced a well-rounded cruiser design, which was primarily intended to engage the hypothetical "maximum cruisers" which other treaty signatories might produce. At slightly over 31 knots, its speed was modest, though still not slow by interwar standards. In terms of armor and armament, however, it would have far surpassed any other treaty cruiser in the region, putting it on par with some pre-war battlecruisers.

In the end, this proved to be its undoing. After the planned armor and armament of other signatories' planned cruisers were published in early 1929, Navy High Command realized that the Taissang-class far outstripped the potential task ahead of it. Kapsung's team produced a series of modified designs, but in the end the contract was awarded to a smaller design team under Commander Lin Ginjidol. Lin's proposal resembled a smaller version of the Taissang, with 4x2 200mm guns and 150mm belt armor - still enough to outfight other nations' cruiser classes, but with a standard displacement of 12,500 tonnes, allowing six rather than five to be built with Menghe's treaty tonnage allocation.

Dimensions:
Displacement: 14,990 tonnes standard, 18,930 tonnes full
Length: 205.7 meters waterline, 212.2 meters overall
Beam: 22.4 meters
Draft: 7.88 meters (normal load)

Armament:
4x2 250mm (9.8 inch) L/50 guns in two-gun turrets
5x1 100mm (3.9 inch) L/50 guns in single High-Angle (AA) mounts
8x2 12.5mm (0.49 inch) water-cooled anti-aircraft machine guns
3 reconnaissance floatplanes

Protection:
Main belt, turret faces, barbettes, and conning tower: 200 mm (7.9 inches)
Deck and turret sides: 75 mm (2.95 inches)
Internal Torpedo Bulkhead: 20 mm (0.79 inches)

Propulsion:
8x oil-fueled water-tube boiler
4x steam turbine (88,000 shaft horsepower total) driving four propeller shafts
Top speed: 31.2 knots (calculated estimate)
Range: 7800 nautical miles at 18 knots
