Richelieu upgrade
« on: May 14, 2014, 04:16:55 PM »

I just have seen the movie Space Pirate Captain Harlock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Pirate_Captain_Harlock_%28film%29) with an upgrade of the Arcadia, the inspiration for my Richelieu (http://www.solaris7.com/TRO/Spaceship/ShipInfo.asp?ID=871) or rather one of them (the other being the true Richelieu Battlecruiser).

More pictures of the Arcadia can be found here (http://www.otakia.com/wp-content/uploads/V_1/nom_27/554/8344.jpg) or here (http://employees.csbsju.edu/rsorensen/modelcitizen/workbench/Anime/Harlock/arcadia_green/arcadia-side-stern.jpg).
The Arcadia in action can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaDCHe6KTfo) but what you can't see is its anti-fighters weapons, something missing in the original Richelieu (which was a common trademark of the SLDF).

What I am asking you is simple, redesign or upgrade the Richelieu.
You can make it a SLDF blueprint, a Clan redesign, an Inner Sphere post 3057 design... whatever suits you.

Show me what you can do with it.

All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.

Okay here is my proposed refit in the Beast Clan ABTU setting, hate or like it, I did it for the fun, i love to tinker/refit designs for people, and always willing to be recruited for such duty anytime needs a outside approach to a ship. Just look at some my refits for Dragon Cat in section of the boards ;).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Variants:==
 The original design was in the Library section of the Newgrange Yardship that
was part of the Fonders Fleet when the Crossing took place and the 12 TSSOG
was forever seperated by time and space from the Star League, but with the
need of new warships to fill the depleted ranks of the 12th's Battle Fleet.
 the Founder authorised access to the Main Memory Core of the Yardship to
provide the needed plans and diagrams and past combat data needed to design or
refit exsisting designs need for the new levels of warfare the 12th was
exposed to in the more aggresive and destructive realm of space and time they
was now exsisiting in.
The Richelieu was one such ship found in the Core, concerning the enemys
panache fro frontal attacks, the heavy forward and forward arcs of the
Battlecruiser drew intrest from the Kodiak Design Team.
 Right off the bat, the decision was mad to upgrade the armor from ferro
aluminum to Lamelor Ferro Carbide, this alone double the exsisting armor
belt.
 The nex items addressed was the need of some type of nuclear stand off
capbility and long range antifighter and even anti missile capablity, this was
done with the refiting of dual turrents of Malestrom AR-10 Launchers.
as for close range Anti Fighter and Dropship combat, the addition of quad
turrents og Gauss Rifles and ER PPC's was added, for last line defense against
conventional and nuclear armed missiles, dual turrents of Anti Missile Shotgun
Launchers was added, the only exception was the Broadside launchers where only
one Dual AMS and a Single Turrent AMS was installed due to Fire Control
tonnage restrictions.
To deal with fighters attacks and the possible need for SAR and boarding
actions in the form of a increased Fighter and Small Craft compliment, as
proven in the past and present the best anti fighter weapon is another
firghter.
Unfortunatly this all came at the price of reducing the already limited gargo
and spare parts tonnage., but even after the reductions the ship would still
be able to deploy for up to 3 to 5 months away from port and with underway
replensiment this could be increased, as the ship was expected to be deployed
with task force to task group sized formations.
