I hate OMGs ships because of their resemblance to the Last Exile yet I am conflicted because green is also my favorite color :/

You should stop hating good shows.

I feel your pain Wick, I feel your pain.

u jelly cuz I'm stylin' on ur fleet.

This. There's plenty of OTHER reasons to hate OMG.

Like the fact that I'm better than all of you.

Calm down boys, the e-peen show is out back where it won't destroy the Thread.

Bah, you're no fun.

BUT, to continue from the previous subject, it's silly to make assumptions about other people's canon or the abilities of their ships, or their interior design. Or their power output. In fact, it's best to just assume everybody else's designs work exactly like they say they do, because there are so many conflicting canons and scientific theories on NS that there would probably be some sort of explosion if we tried to integrate them all.

[Arthropoda Ingens]

Says you. Considering this particular drawing contains no references to power outputs, consumption of power per weapon, or even the width of the ship, you might ask for such details before you start making judgments.
Of course, while I can tell you that the ship is 180m wide at the midpoint, for the other two I'll tell you that it produces "enough" power and that each weapon consumes a "lot" of power. Those are metric measurements, BTW.

Hm. May want to make it a bit wider, in the range of a length/ width relationwhip between 5:1 & 8:1? Would be more stylistically in line with historical ships of the era you've ostensibly put in space, especially at the 5:1 end of the scale (8:1 is more modern-ish, as I'm well aware you know).

Admittedly, for a 1.8 km boat, the question is what you fill all that width with, but 'Reactors. More reactors. And sleeping quarters' probably suffices.

You know, that would actually be an interesting Thread to read, one where somebody tried to stuff all the different systems into one working model and see what happens each time something new is added.

[Thrashia]

Just what we need, a frakking FT nation full of McGuyvers.

No, a Thread based on comedy, not seriousness.

I recall looking up the designs and finding that, generally, it seems that ships went between 10:1 and 8:1. I think. It was a while ago, so I may be misremembering.

The primary space requirements are probably for cooling equipment, since EE tech, while very powerful, is rather heat-inefficient. I've noted before that the EE concept of 'stealth' is basically grouping a bunch of ships together so that their combined energy output blanks out nearby sensors. Other than that, shield generators tend to be quite large in order to deal with the threat of said absurdly powerful guns.

Oh, and there's a dramatic catwalk to have swordfights on. Over an implausibly large pit. Actually, the ship employs artificial gravity to switch the perception of 'down' towards the back of the ship so that the pit can be deeper.


@Balrogga
So basically instead of just releasing ONE brand of Lovecraftian horrors, people would be releasing Lovecraftian horrors from multiple canons.
Sounds fun

[Balrogga]

Yes, a Comedy of Horrors instead of the standard Tragedy.

Of course nothing would be taken serious, all done in jest and possibly extreme parody.

If you do this, then I will encourage Dornalia to sent Dr Tennenbaum.

You'd probably fill it with the same thing Maersk intends to fill their new 400 meter ships with... Shipping containers.

[The Soviet Technocracy]

hilariously i have like 3 10 km shipping spacecraft

nothing but iso containers

and suddenly bigger iso containers

thousands of them

Why would you carry software in ships that big? Those must be some huge iso files. o.O

Decree: it kills small nations with one song

...at least as soon as I actually upgrade it from a glorified music-playing ship.

In terms of NS, that's a Paradox.

Because NS is SRS BSNS.

ISO 668 is so powerful, it transcends the borders between planets, nations, even species.

... Come to think of it, we do have a space-ISO, yes?

I wasn't sure whether to respond with a ridiculous explanation of Sound Science and Symphonic Power and how amps are the most brutal weapons in the universe...

...or this.
