Guardian-Class Shield Frigate



This is a relatively simple shield ship, and no, It's not Farad. It's a Xanthal type X Shield, rebroadcast into a Wall Barrier (It can also be broadcast into a normal protective globe).

This 300m frigate is basically half power core, half shield generator, and then there's like a tiny area for a small crew of 30 to get around and tinker with stuff. And due to this ship's complete and utter lack of shields for itself (other than some medium armor), the ship is equipped with adequate escape pods. It is also equipped with a basic hyperdrive.
Price: 65 Billion



Evan-Class Cloaker Frigate




This is a rather simple 275m frigate, equipped with a hyperdrive. It sends everything inside it's (adjustable) grid out of phase, and thus renders them cloaked. It has moderate shields and armor, and accomodations for a skilled engineering crew to make sure everything is safe and in working order.

Abbreviated summary of CC Storefront Technology
Some of the below is taken from essays and tech reports on the relevant subjects.


Info on CC LiquidMetal^2 Armor [reference]

This is the armor used on all the Capsule Corporation Capital ships, and a close similarity of the armor on the Mecha and starfighters.



LiquidMetal^2 is an advancment of the 20th Century's "LiquidMetal," made the same way, but with stronger, Triton-mined alloys.

Usually, the armor is pretty much as diagramed in the picture above, using the outer hull to take light projectile fire, with the elasticity and strength of the LiquidMetal^2 able to bounce small arms and bullets etc. off the hull. To absorb high-velocity/high-mass projectiles, the LiquidMetal^2 can give way into the steel supports below it, into the next layer of armor, absorbinbg a good deal of the shock before it can hit the main titanium hull.

On some ships, this armor is heavily reinforced by a thicker Titanium-alloy hull beneath it.

It's a simple design, but we find it to be effective.

---------------------------------------

Capsule's Farad Project

The Farad System, named after the measuring unit of capacity, turns a specially-designed twin-hulled ship into basically a large capacitor. It draws energy from the reactors, or whatever happens to be the main energy source of the ship, storing energy in between the hulls, taking about 15-30 seconds to charge, and then the energy can be expelled in one of 2 ways:

1. A powerful energy wave shooting forward that, depending on setting and ship size, can fire a blast strong enough to completely overwhelm the shields of an enemy ship (of almost any size really, assuming it isn't an excessively powerful or large one), and (assuming shields are already down) rip the flesh (hull) off a starship of equal size, vaporize a smaller ship, or burrow a hole through a large ship. Armor will play a part in how well the enemy ship holds together during the attack, but for the most part, it's the enemy's Shields and the inherent weaknesses of the Farad system (the charging time) that will allow the Farad system to Fail. But with a good crew, and the right moment, this weapon is killer.


Farad System (offensive, obviously) quite literally gutting an enemy ship of relatively the same size.

2. A powerful shield, Green in color, which can take a serious pounding for up to 15 seconds, from almost any weapon, even a LASER (due to it's heavy Green tint) or a Collision (Internal systems could be severely damaged, but not as much as full impact). However, a strong blast, such as a high-speed collision, or something like a superlaser, or a larger farad system, will cripple the Farad system after use, taking a while to repair, if not destroying it.

After normal use, the Farad system will will take a good 5-10 minutes to cool (depending on size), any less, and the gun will burn-out/overload.

--------------

----CCNN Reporter: Today, Capsule Corporation completed testing of the Farad system. They expect to have the corvette-mounted version ready in a few years.

Test ship FARAD:


We apologize that we can't show you the actual test video... but we have created these crude images:

Shielding:


----------------------

Since the integration of this technology into the Capsule Corporation, all ships carry these weapons in one way or another. There are now compact rapid-firing versions of the system, in weapon-only form, that work basically like high-powered laser beams. Also common among the heavier ZDF battleships, and soon on the mass-produced Zoram Class, are Heavy Farad Beam Cannons, which are also offense only, and fire Large beams of energy forward, easily boring holes into an (unshielded) enemy ship. The Capsule Corporation worlds also utilize a number of planetary-scale farad weapons for both offense and defense. There are even farad-based Infantry weapons.

But still, with all of our research, the exact power of the larger Farad system can not be measured, as it is better estimated in relative damage potential, as listed above.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chlorophusion Technology


*DECLASSIFIED REPORT*

A recent mining accident on Triton, after the attack on our mining facilities by the gurlanai race, "opened the door" to a large cavern, filled with air, without the need of life support. A small spring was flowing in this large room about 2 miles beneath the surface of triton. To make a long story short, we discovered the place to be a semi-natural biosphere, sustaining itself with plantlife, water, and... electricity. It took us several days of studying the plantlife and the water to discover that over half the vegetation, and all the water, was artificially created. One type of plant was especially abundant... a purple flower, growing in groups of 3, that has properties of organic fusion at the cellular level. We were unable to explain it. Even at deeper scans of the cavern, we discovered a series of pumps, and life support systems, held active by these plants' electricity, which in turn, kept all the plants alive, in a sort of natural stasis... for possibly thousands of years.

We questioned the LGMs from the principality of Lord Claw, and they say they had heard stories about it, but thought it was long gone. Upon deeper research of their history and lore, ancient LGMs (Little green men) built the structure to hide it from other races while the flowers incubated, un fortunately, volcanic and seizmic activity on triton over the years burried it, and they were unable to find the biosphere.

Historical documents are being used in conjunction with our best scientists to find out how to harness this power, trying various tests on the cellular structure.

More info to come as more develops over the years.

FTL Technologies

Current Capsule Corporation FTL Technology:

All larger Capsule Corporation ships, also known as the FoldShips, are equipped with a Space-Fold Drive. This drive consumes a great amount of energy, one we've only been able to provide with the Chlorophusion Power Technology], to pull two points in space together, allowing instant teleportation between two points. This is called "Space-Fold" because it is much like the analogy of drawing two points on a piece of paper, then literally bringing the two points together by folding the paper rather than drawing a line between them. Obviously this ability grows significantly harder with distance, which is why our largest, most efficient Space-Fold Drive in existance is only able to reach a maximum of 500 light years.

For long range travel, all Capsule Corporation Ships (with the exception of the production short-range fighters) are equipped with Hyperdrives. Hyperspace ((this is the Star Wars type hyperspace I am speaking of)) is a plane of easy movement that exists slightly beneath normalspace. Propells you at high speeds through a "tunnel" of hyperspace you create with energy in your ship... the better the hyperdrive the faster it goes. Hyperdrive Multipliers is a scale relative to the average corvette... usually fighters can make a coefficient of 1, hot rods can make .5, and big capital ships can make around 6... Hyperdrive Multiplier=x1 = roughly 1,000,000c/1... as a simple rule, just divide 10^6c by the multiplier number. Also, another note on the fold drive is that when it folds, a "bubble" surrounds the ship, and anything in that bubble gets sucked into the fold with it.

And finally, for communication, Subspace Transceivers allow a ship to transmitt a message through subspace, an actual plane of existance completely beneath realspace. Lightspeed is almost instantaneous here, and thus, transmissions can be almost instantaneous. The average heavy Subspace Tranmsceiver has an active range of about 5,000 light years.

Recently out of the research stage is a mixture of the Hyperdrive and the Space Fold Drive, called the Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive. This system is being installed on every FoldShip, and will allow mini fold jumps INSIDE hyperspace, allowing very rapid travel for FoldShips at about 10 Million C (1200 ly/hour) relative to realspace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xanthal Shield Tech

The Xanthalian shield comes in eleven types, all operating on the same principle but varying in strength and size.
Type I shields deflect one hit from most standard weaponry, then collapse. They require only a very small generator, which is why we use them on our Slipfighters.
Type II, III, IV, and V shields hug the hull of the ship they are shielding and require increasing sizes of generators to maintain. They can deflect any type of weaponry for at least one hit, and are capable of sustaining a continued assault of standard weaponry for up to five minutes.
Type VI, VII, and VIII shields create a sphereoid around a ship, and are capable of sustaining prolonged attacks of both standard and secondary weapons for about ten minutes.
Type IX and X shields can encompass anything; ship, station, or even planet if the generator is made big enough. They are extremely powerful and can take a number of hits from even the most powerful weapons before failing. Against conventional weapons they can hold for up to half an hour.
Type Z shields are the most powerful shields possible to create with the technology. They require a massive central generator, and projection panels to sustain, but in operation extend a thick barrier of variable size and shape around the object it is installed on capable of sustaining continuous attack from even planet-killing weaponry for up to fifteen minutes. Faced with more conventional attacks it's protection is almost limitless. However, these shields consume massive amounts of power, and are installed only on vital ships, stations, and planets; and activated only when necessary.

That's really cool. I'm wondering, I design spaceships too and i use google sketchup. Is their anything better so I can have a more realistic looking one.


Here is some of my work, this picture was taken before I finished the missile launchers (kinda like the ones on the stargate ships) on that random flat area near the bridge tower and the two forward spires. Also the light weaponry isn't finished.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Order Accepted. We apologize, but the shipyards do not have the capacities at this time to fill this order as quick as we would like to, so we would like to give you a .6trillion discount, lowering it to an even 7 trillion.

The first 8 ships (designations of your choice, otherwise in the order posted) will be available in 6 months. The remaining 32 will be given 8 more every 4 months after that. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Also, the above figures are subject to change (to your benefit) as a surplus of investment funds have allowed us to begin construction of a new facility in the Sol system, the former CC shipyards on Triton. You will be notified if the production facilities are made ready in time to speed up your order.

Thank you.


----

OOC: Leavatia - I love your work! I personally use Lightwave for my ships, but I would suggest downloading Blender, which is an open source (free) rendering program. It's built for graphics and graphics only, whereas sketchup is semi-CAD.

Also, it looks like you use a cell-shading option... mess around with textures, and lighting... maybe get a backdrop of stars or a planet or something.

[Leavatia]

OOC: Thank you very much. I have a bit more lying about if you ever want to see them. I got the idea to design ships after watching star wars, star trek, and stargate and thought, I could do better.

[Capsule Corporation]

Good news! Construction has begun on the Triton City plant:
viewtopic.php?ns=1&f=5&t=7981

The new shipyards will be in service within 18 months, significantly increasing our ability to fulfill your orders!

[Emperor Tristan]

i would like to order two kumen-class gunships for 500,000,000 shiny things

[Capsule Corporation]

i would like to order two kumen-class gunships for 500,000,000 shiny things

Not a problem. Such a small order can be fulfilled easily by a trade ship already in your sector. They will be delivered instantly after the money is wired.

[Telvira]

The Solar Empire of Telvira would like to order 100 Kumen-class gunships and as many stripped down Tachyon-Class corvettes required to carry these gunships for testing purposes. Should the testing prove acceptable, we will be contacting you for a long-term contract for the production of gunships and carriers for our new Light Strike Force.
We can wire the 25 billion dollars for the gunships immediately. As we do not know the price for the Tachyon-class corvettes (I checked and they're not one of the ships listed), we must ask for the price of said ships, whereupon we will wire the correct amount.

[Capsule Corporation]

OOC: I apologize.. a good chunk of this thread is just a revitalization of the original storefront. I removed the Tachyon Class... it was kinda lame, as it was my absolute oldest ship ever. It was a small, light corvette going for about 15 billion... and it could only fit 4 fighters... if even. The reference has been edited out.

IC:

100 Kumen-class gunships have already been manufactured, and are simply awaiting your purchase!

As for a vessel to carry them, our most versatile and cheapest single vessel is actually a Patriarch-Class FoldShip. It can be easily converted, at no extra charge, into a carrier capable of storing, launching, and maintaining your flight of gunships.

The Patriarch-Class Cargo FoldShip



Length: 750 meters
Crew: 20 people, 5 droids, and 2 central AI, one for mechanical and one for science and information.
Powerplant: Chlorophusion control chamber
FTL Drives: Capsule Mk II Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive (also works as Hyperdrive OR fold drive)
Docking Capabilities: 8 Fighters, 8 Mecha, 2 Corvettes
Cargo Capacity: roughly 90% of it's frame is reserved for cargo.
Weapons: None stock.
Defenses: A very thick LiquidMetal2/Steel armor, made from triton-mined alloys, A heavy (SW-Type) Deflector Shield
Atmosphere Capable: Yes. Landing Capable: Yes.
Price: 85 Billion

.

This option is very cost-effective, and you'd have yourself your first foldship! The FTL system is a mixture of the Hyperdrive and the Space Fold Drive, called the Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive. This system is being installed on every FoldShip, and will allow mini fold jumps INSIDE hyperspace, allowing very rapid travel for FoldShips at about 10 Million C (1200 ly/hour) relative to realspace.

Total would be 110 billion, with no extra charge for converting the Patriarch into a functional carrier.

We'll also give you 10 billion off your next purchase of a FoldShip!

[Telvira]

Very well. The money has been wired to you.

We shall commence testing and if the results prove satisfactory we will have a long relationship together.

[Capsule Corporation]

Very well. The money has been wired to you.

We shall commence testing and if the results prove satisfactory we will have a long relationship together.

The whole lot will be delivered in 2 months, and an advance group of 12 Kumen gunships are on their way now.

Thank you for doing business with us!

[Libertine Worlds]

The Confederacy of Libertine Worlds is interested in aquiring a number of Kumen Class Gunships in order to buff up our starfleet and protect trade within our systems from piracy.

ORDER:
Kumen Class Gunship x 6

The cost of which will come to 1.5 Billion.

As a side note, the CLW government and a number of private companies are interested in leasing land on uninhabited planets in our sphere of influence, and government land is continuously auctioned off at a steady rate. There are few taxes, although piracy is a problem, but their ships are mainly derelicts.

[Pokemonman]

10 Kumen Class Gunships please. $2,500,000,000 will be sent upon confirmation of order.

[Capsule Corporation]

CLW: Your order is confirmed and delivery is en route. Thank you for your business!

Pokemonman: Your order is confirmed and delivery is en route. Don't forget to check out the custom foldship shop! Thank you for your business!
