England Class Battlecruiser
Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:16 pm
I'm just going to link the images from the Creation Lab. It takes too long for me to find the pictures I need among the 2000 pictures in my My Pictures folder.
Flip da pic!
With multiple torpedo launchers, numerous phaser strips and phaser banks, and several decks within which live and serve countless personnel, officers, engineers, doctors, and civilians coming along for the ride, the England indeed carries a high amount of crew and sometimes passengers, numbering in the several hundreds, maybe more.
The total seating capacity is 1150, but rarely are these starships that full.
Weapons systems consist of 6 Transphasic Phaser Strips, 20 Micro Transphasic Torpedo Launchers, 11 Transphasic Phaser Banks, 14 Transphasic Torpedo Launchers (6 fore, 8 aft), and 4 Rotating Transphasic Torpedo Launchers. Quite a large amount and variety of weaponry for a starship.
Propulsion systems are Impulse Engines, a master Warp Core, and a master Transwarp Core, with emergency thrusters for the Impulse Engines ready to be fired up in case they are disabled, and three secondary cores to keep the Warp Drive online in case the master core is disabled or needs to be ejected. The Transwarp core has only one extra emergency core, since while Transwarp is standard propulsion on board Federation ships, it is commonly looked down upon by most captains as being unconventional, unreliable, and very scary.
The only officers to really (over) use the Transwarp drive are Fleet Captain Talmid, Captain Gary Vermont, and Captain Greg Silverbrick. It's that scary.
Active England Class Battleships in Star Fleet consist of the USS England, the USS Yorkshire, the USS Burlington, and the USS Hampshire, with one more, the USS Liverpool, awaiting a commanding officer. It currently has a skeleton crew who can keep it online and possibly fly it into some basic operations if the need arises.

This is but one of many overpowered (I try to keep them realistic, and I like to think I'm successful ) Federation battleships and battlecruisers. The storm is coming! Run for the hills! Maybe now you'll regret inviting Talmid over!
Lastly, the USS Burlington is captained by Captain Gary Vermont, former first officer on the USS Talmidon III Refit when he was still a lowly Commander.

I'm regretting it already! I've never seen a bigger flood of n00bish ships in all my life!....
nah! Just kidding. I like it! It's shiiiiiiny! Though I seem to find it a little hard to believe that the Federation was able to advance to transwarp as standard transportation. They're always just soo.....backwards!

Well, most captains like to see the use of transwarp as simply an emergency procedure. Because they use a lot of power, transwarp cores are restricted mostly to large scale cruisers and battleships, like this one. :PEven then, they can really make an impact on even the largest of battleships' dilithium storage. Excessive use of the transwarp drive was even able to bring the USS Talmidon III Refit down to its knees.
Here's an excerpt from an unfinished Creation Lab story. :PPrior to this chapter, Talmid has ordered the use of transwarp around 50 times.
Here's an excerpt from an unfinished Creation Lab story. :PPrior to this chapter, Talmid has ordered the use of transwarp around 50 times.
Actions of Treachery Chapter 23 wrote:The bridge was in chaos as all of sudden for no apparent reason at this current sentence, all the lights dimmed and the ship's computer announced, "Primary Auxiliary power down to 5%. Weapons systems, warp engines, sublight thrusters, viewscreen, non-engineering consoles, and non-bridge consoles are now offline." There you have it.
"Overridden." Talmid interjected. "Turn the sublight thrusters back online."
"Sublight thrusters back online." the computer agreed. Then it brought its evil side out again and said, "Primary Auxiliary Power down to 3%."
It seemed everyone except for Talmid (and Dave the superserious tactical officer) was in a panic when Talmid got out of his facepalm and shouted, "NOW EVERYBODY BE QUIET NAOW. I want you all to listen to me and follow my orders *quietly*.
"Ahem, Lt. Tylers, put the ship into reverse drive on sublight thrusters, we're evading that nuclear-missile-whatever-it-is the old fashioned way. Dave, I want you to keep track of that warhead's course and let us know when we're clear of it. And Lt. Kyle, scan the interior of the warhead." Talmid ordered in a fleet captainly way.
Silently, Brad put the ship into reverse and it began moving backwards very slooooowly. At the same time, Albert was waiting for a readout on the interior construction of the missile, which also at the same time was coming closer and closer to the Talmidon.
Dave spoke up. "The missile is remaining on its original course."
"That's music to my ears," Talmid breathed. "But we haven't cleared it yet, have we?"
"Nope," Dave said, "but we're getting there."
Ten tense seconds later, Dave announced, "We're clear!" and at the same time the computer stated, "Primary Auxiliary Power is now offline." and the engines shut off.
There was silence for several seconds, until Dave announced, "The warhead is clear."
Then all the lights turned back on and the computer chirped, "Backup Auxiliary Power is now online."
Talmid facepalmed, while Gary said, amused, "There's such a thing?"
"COMPUTER." Talmid raged. "WHY YOU NO TURN ON BACKUP AUXILIARY POWER TWENTY SECONDS AGO." He stood up from his chair and stormed into his ready room.
"Are weapons back online?" Gary asked.
"Most certainly." Dave told him.
"Alright then, fire an antimatter torpedo on an intercept course with the missile." Gary instructed. "On screen."
As the bridge crew minus Talmid watched, the torpedo impacted with the missile and then with the tiny, minute flash that all antimatter torpedoes give off in destruction, both objects disappeared.
"ITZ A FAKE!!!!!!"

I highly doubt that Trasnwarp would be any big deal at all by now, we are around one hundred and fifty years passed ST-Voy.... I imagine that transwarp is now the "Standard method of FTL travel" with warp serving as backup. I can't imagine it even being installed on ships if using it in realistic situations was such massive power drain that it left the ship dead in the water after only a few uses... But eh, it's your faction.
Anyways, onto the ship itself. VERY nice work Talmid!!! It looks very.... Federation-y... Well done.

I loves it, Talmid! Nice blend of SW and ST styles, IMO. Like the shiny bricks, too!

Well, if you want me to be honest, I think it looks like a bloated fish. I never really liked the idea of having the deflector dish up on the very tip of the bow of the ship. That's a very non-strategic position. I can only wonder what the engineers who designed this thing were thinking when they deemed it a battleship.
Oh wait, I am the aforementioned engineers.
What was I thinking?

That IS just the navigational Deflector though, so it would only lose the ability to go into warp.... (long pause) okay... bad idea.
