Notes

~The Federation Combat forces had decided for a change in tactics from what they have been doing. They had also realized that during the Single engagements the Large 'Starships' were suffering massive losses due to very limited fighter control. So the Federation had decided to create a 'carrier' class utilizing tactics from the Early 20th and 21st centuries, With the 'carrier' class fighters could almost instantly repair and re-fuel and recharge, and of course reload weapons, this allows them to have the weapons they need when they need them.

Well planned. But how many embarked craft does it carry?

Cool, sounds like a pretty good ship.

pretty good, but like most ships from *that site*, they are as ugly as hell.

with the 2 hanger bays, I figure at 350x100 each deck (LxW) that gives a area of 35,000 with a 2 deck design on each hanger-bay. a total of 4 seperate bays. ( multiply the 35,000into 4 decks)

A danube class measurse close to this (for safety reasons... so that they dont over crowd and smash into each other)

25x20 [500 m2] (Very Generous on space alloted for each)

... so its about

280 Danube Runabouts.

the 4 decks all thogether only hold 280 because of the height... The ways the doors are arranged.. it makes it impossible to have more then 2 decks. per hanger bay)

if i add the 280 runabouts into the Strength Indacies you get...

14,300

I'm happy to sacrafice aesthetics for practicality, Shran.

We know.

But it's true - especially in a carrier-type, practicality must take precedence over prettiness.

If you look on the site at all of the carrier designs it is actually the best looking one.

Yeah. Some of the ships there just seem to be ugly for the sake of being ugly.

D. Sergez · Post by **D. Sergez** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 8:18 pm

yes, especially the federation ones. Most of the Other races are decent.

Is there a way that someone that knows what he'she is doing would draw up a ship of my design? What would I need to send that person?

Talk to DarkOmen. He's done a few requests from members (myself included). He may be willing to do it for you.
