Maverick Class Battleship

[JohnnyredCaptain (PCG)]

~ Start Entry ~

Realizing the the Space Agency was in need of a larger presence in space, Johnnyred teamed up with the Agencies best designers and engineers to develop of the Maverick Class battleship.

Equipped with three heavy light-warp drives and dual impulse engines, the Maverick is fast and heavily armed and has a decent bit of hanger space thanks to its hangers located both on the upper deck and the underbelly of the ship.

For this new battleship, Johnnyred developed a new addition to the Wave Motion tech family.  The regenerative Wave Motion Missile.  eight missiles with a tiny percentage of the power a Wave Motion Gun sit in waiting racks, when one is fired, the next one moves over into the empty slot and an empty missile casing slides into the slot closest to the hull, and sits there taking in energy in the fashion that all WMT weapons do.  Typically a total of 32 Wave Motion Missile Shells are kept on board at any given time.  There are grates on the upper and lower forward hulls of the ship to act as intake vents for the WMMs.

Also introduced on this ship are the Tachyon Cannons, instead of relying upon the ship's energy for firing like a Shock Cannon does, the Tachyon Cannons utilize vents to take in tachyon particles and release them in concentrated beams at a high velocity, dealing heavy damage to enemy vessels.  While these are very accurate weapons, they are better used at close range due to the power fade as the beam's distance increases.

Nice ship. I like the Bismarck/Iowa/Yamato feel it has. I literally thought that those were my missiles pods when I first saw this lol. They looked exactly like mine until I realized that the missiles were smaller and more numerous. Also, I must say the idea of invisible torpedo launchers still bothers me. Anyway, great design overall, and the bridge looks excellent.

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

Niiiiice. As Mirage said, it's got some of that classic Space Battleship Yamato feel, but I have to add to that comment that it was also clearly influenced by Classic Space, just as you intended, WELL done!

[JohnnyredCaptain (PCG)]

@ PXR - Glad you like it! As far as the torpedoes go... A torpedo is like 2 meters at max. That's not even enough to round up to 10 meters to make a full stud. Ergo they aren't visible on my ships. a 10 meter WIDE torpedo is kinda excessive.

@ Dino - Danke! And while yes, I was going for a bit of a Space Battleship Yamato feel, and obviously my main source of inspiration was Classic Space, I was basing it more off of this ship from Wing Commander.

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

Ah yes, I can see that. Very nice! And yet still unique. Well done.
