Korolov Combined Arms Dropship (Clan)
« on: August 31, 2018, 10:20:57 AM »
Named Korolov as nod to Soviet Union Space Program Head back during Sputnik.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the largest combined construction efforts in recent memory the Odyssey Project was a join endeavor led by Clans Star Adder, Wolf, Diamond Shark and Hell’s Horses and with assistance from Cloud Cobra and Snow Raven the project was initiated after the recent revitalization of combat vehicles being integrated once again in many front line toumans began. No dropship besides the rare Colossus Dropship that survived from the Amaris Civil War was able to attempt to meet this need and the amount of other individual dropships that could was considered a tactical as well as strategic liability to many of the Clans. Forcing them to look at developing a new means of delivering these new reorganized clusters to their destinations.

While the few surviving Colossus may have been modified to fit the needs of a Clan or two not nearly enough of the enormous designs were available for the needs of all the interested Clans. Evaluating the schematics for the design and allotting for advances in technology the structure for the Odyssey has remained the same. The Clan scientists stripped the design down to its basic framework and replaced the older Ferro Aluminum armor with the more advanced Clan variant increasing its armor protection by 30%. Stripping out and upgrading all of its weaponry systems saved tonnage allowing for the installation of a Mobile HPG and small Naval Comm Scanner bolstering its capabilities for strategic operations. Still with all of its all these other upgrades it still has been able to improve its fuel capacity by 25% and more than tripling its cargo capacity. Upgrading and extending its crew quarters as its designed to allow for comfort on the extended trips to and from the Front Lines. This has pleased the majority of the crew who are able to have individual quarters with only bay personnel having to sleep two to a cabin accounting for alternating shifts most bunk mates don’t mind as they have the room to themselves off shift.

Utilizing the massive Strana Mechty Shipyards as the eventual production site for this design as a third of the Clans were actively involved with its design and a few others were interested in acquiring one or two for their own Toumans. The security provided being produced at these Shipyards allows for multiple clans to divert forces to protect their interests. Producing an impressive 4 dropships a year considering its size and required resources.

Designed to carry an incredible 6 Binaries of combined arms and with an impressive arsenal that discourages enemy combatants to close with the design shortly this new Dropship will make a name for itself when deployed to the front lines.

With that much tonnage its hard not to be impressive. Was thinking something this size turned into a gunboat would be scary even to enemy warships.

I'm working a new Jumpship now as well. Got the name and picture when I was searching for this one.

Well drop Odyssey from the list of consideration was looking at Clan Jumpships and I see they already have one with that name that I had forgotten about. So down to two contenders now.

This Jumpship/Warship spreadsheet is confusing to me. Back to trying to figure it out.

[Rant]Jumpships just suck to make. I wanted to make one that was designed for the extended voyages and had increased cargo maybe a Gravdeck to assist passengers on dropships and such but you never have enough tonnage to do what you want because of the girth of that KF drive. Thats something the Clans should have worked on in Canon. Hell just dropping the multiplier down to .9 would make a huge difference on what you do with one and considering a compact core multiplier is .45 it should be that. [/EndofRant]

He has some amazing ones that fit with BT



This one I almost used



BT Quality one




I love this fighter one. Imagine that as a HPG in the background. Looks like a Stuka



As you can tell I've been looking through images looking for inspirations for designs.
