The Conveyance Class Transport ship is a massive personnel carrier ship with one of the highest passenger carrying capacities of any ship in the Imperial Navy, cramming 25,000 soldiers and support staff into the vessel. The Conveyance sacrifices arms and armor for this carrying capacity threshold, and has a scant crew of 150, which is extremely minimal for a ship it's size (the Marauder is only 120m longer, and has a crew of almost 8800). This means that Conveyance must travel only to sectors that have been cleared or mostly cleared by Navy warships. Once in-system, the vessel can descend through the atmosphere land on the planet surface. Lowering its 40 massive loading/unloading ramps, the Conveyance can discharge its cargo in as a little as 30 minutes.

How could I have forgotten the distinctive shape of the Yaka Empire's starships? :O That's awesome, even though it is "merely" a transport ship.

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

 Noice.... That is one cool ship, and the pics are amazing! It's SO detailed! So many awesome mechanical looking thing-a-ma-jigs! AKA, GREAT work! I would suggest adding some anti fighter/bomber automated weapons, and perhaps some light anti cap ship canons to defend against pirates, ambushes, and stragglers of defeated navies. Anyways, that is one seriously nice ship.... great work Kojan! it's good to see more from Yaka!

I hate you so much.

I have nothing else to add, no smiles to show I'm joking or explanations to show I'm not, I'll just leave it at that...

I'm still making up my mind whether I do actually hate you for building that good or not.

But why not make it just a tad bigger and add some serious firepower? Unarmed (or underarmed) ships are always the worst kind.

[Lord General SpudLord General (MSI)]

Oh, wow! This is great! I love the 8-block configuration. Amazing work!

[KojanHigh Admiral (CIR)]

Thanks for all of the compliments, guys!

It was originally meant to be a capital ship and carry twice the troops, but after I had the base layer down, I decided that the size was fine and I made it a cruiser. Additionally, I would have added guns to it (there's plenty of space for them), but I didn't want to make the vessel over-powered. It can already carry 25,000 infantry as it is.

I might make a larger one that is capital ship size.

[ForgeRecruit (No Affiliation)]

25,000 infantry who are next to useless in space combat. (I doubt the enemy will get close enough for a boarding maunver.) I would add just a few plasma turrets (probably one or two MK IIs) and then AA guns stationed all around, and then maybe a few missiles, just a few.

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

Remember, even a corvette, or a snub fighter, or a dude with space suit and a pistol for that matter, has more fire power than this ship, it wouldn't be overpowering to strap a few light weapons onto her.

[ForgeRecruit (No Affiliation)]

Well not a guy in a space suit, cuase the 25,000 probably ahve atleast some space suits, and rocket launchers.

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

Unless they are Federation, in which case the have 3 type I phasers between them

[ForgeRecruit (No Affiliation)]

And they're all red-shirts, so they'll probably all die just trying to put their spacesuit on.

[KojanHigh Admiral (CIR)]

I highly doubt a Federation trooper, floating in space, could blast his way through the hull armor using only his handheld phaser.

[ForgeRecruit (No Affiliation)]

I know, we weren't arguing that. We were talking about the firepower the ship carried itself, in which point I was arguing that the 25,000 made alot more firepower than a single federation trooper with a phaser, though still rather ineffective.

[KojanHigh Admiral (CIR)]

Yes, I know that. I was just making a joke.

It would be pretty funny to see a single guy in a spacesuit shooting his way through meters of hull plating, though.

Day 14: Finally made it past the outer armor layer

Day 25: Primary Hull breached, trying to not get electrocuted

Day 80: Phaser batteries dead, I'm stuck on the inner armor layer.

XD

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

^^^ Day 81: should've used Energizer Bunny batteries.

[ForgeRecruit (No Affiliation)]

Energizer Bunny, still better than ST power sources.
