Archon class WarShip (Lyran)
« on: October 22, 2014, 11:11:14 PM »

Old ship designed during a RPG session.  Wanted to see what the folks here felt about it.  Keep in mind the Heart of the Alliance was a one of a kind ship that created by an AU Archon Melanie Steiner who ended up making pre-Jihad the Alliance the premier naval empire with a focus on OmniFighters and WarShips.

The choice of Mass Driver and no point defense systems was because she viewed DropShips as carriers, JumpShips as resupply vessels, and WarShips as well... WarShips.  The main gun was meant to be a tool of intimidation like Kerensky and the appearance of the Atlas.  Due to assistance from captured Smoke Jaguar scientists and Clan Wolf-in-Exile technicians, the ship ended up using the five point model rather than a six point model.

The mass was chosen because she was a Lyran Social General in some ways where bigger was better though she was still a skilled naval commander and fighter jockey.

Haha, I have also come up with a continually optimized super battleship dubbed "Archon-class" in the past (think 2M tons, 20 Heavy N-Gauss in the bow, Leviathan level armor and a full broadside of around 700 at long range) :D
(Then I guess we who are interested in the Commonwealth and Aerotech all have done that one way or another :P)

btw, GJ... as you probably know that HMA is somewhat outdated concerning warships, I'm sure you'll appreciate the following attachment.
It takes a while to fully comprehend what the guy has done, but after a while you will realize the magnitude of his effort. ;)

Actually had made my own WarShip calculator ages ago and just been using that :D

I remember your huge design as well and yeah 2M for you ;)

Lyran Alliance and big ships always made sense especially since they logically moved towards three different OmniFighter Designs during the Dark Ages to ease logistics.

Interesting, care to share that? :)


And yeah, the Mjolnir really set the tone for that, I guess. Although the lack of a LFB was always hard to forgive.
