Wow that is a battlship. I see you added Plasma shields, it can also be used to keep landing bays pressurised when open and to seal hull ruptures. what is the yield of the heavy divine wind missiles? also how many ships will this class have? all I know is I don't want to fight that monster.

It is the single most advanced warship in my fleet and as a late 1.5 generation to 2nd generation warship I figure it wasn't a stretch to add those. This ship is desgined to take everything the enemy can dish out, and then beg for more.

what is the yield of the heavy divine wind missiles?

400 kiloton(it is only an upscaled Divine wind missile :( after all) Still a dozen bearing on you should be enough to make any alien quiver in his boots, provided that he wears them.

also how many ships will this class have?

two of each of the behemouth sized vessels. I haven't designed my "shuttlecraft" yet so how many of those is as yet unkown. At the moment I'm tossing two differnt types around my brain. One is basicly a teched up shuttle designed for short range affairs, from one ship to another or emergency landings on a planet aka an escape pod. The other which I plan for more long range affairs will utilize something akin to your magnetic sail. Well as I said these are just a couple of ideas I thought about in the last week.

all I know is I don't want to fight that monster.

Bah, in an even fight I'd wager your dreadnought could take my ship on mono-e-mono. However it would be a much better use of the TDF's and USEN's time shooting no good imperial alien scum and ensuring humanities survival. So that we may go forth and conq-....er I mean peacefully explore space with our totaly peaceful (heavy) explorer vessels like the Sic Semper Tyrannis or King William class. :)

yup i think you are right, any how the King William is a gen 2.5-3 type so I think your ship will be in space faster then mine, i agree about making an attacker quiver with fear. i have been working on a small combatint something like a Klingon Bird of prey in concept, also a very large fighter ( 25-30m) but i'm not quite sure about them just yet i will post them when i have a better idea of what i want to do with them. i will say the best defence is to hit them ferther away then thay can hit us. so to that end i have also been working on a large(4,000-10,000 ton) Orion missile to be fired from bases on the moon and with rocket first stage from Earth. the will have no warhead but will move at about 40-50% c, that will be alot of kinetic energy.
