Kepler Combat Fleet (Space Battleships, Space Carriers, Space Cruisers)

Description
My collection of Warships, based on a story I've been working on.


Right now, only a Carrier, Battleship, and Destroyer/Cruiser hybrid are on the map.


The Battleship, an Iowa or Montana Class influenced warship, shares the same hull with the carrier. The battleship existed first, and I copied and gutted her to transform her into a super carrier.

For the Battleship, like I said, it's INFLUENCED by the Iowa Class, Montana Class, and older classes of warships mostly from the WWII era.

I say again, it's not a copy of an Iowa Class, but influenced. Those of you who wish to nitpick historical accuracy or that it's a model of X ship can go get stuffed.


The Carrier was built with the knowledge that, should the live version of the game go as I think it will, smaller ships will be the way to go and large battleships, while cool-looking and badass, aren't going to be very practical. So I took the battleship hull, cut the superstructure off and flew it away (which was a little hilarious), gutted the insides and did a lot of rearranging to allow as much internal hangar space as possible. There are also two smaller hangars just under the flight deck, one at the stern and one near the amidships hangar entrance, both are technically aft.

The Destroyer/Cruiser hyrbid was built for mobility and agility and I wanted to keep it under 10 million Kg. It's got a large flight deck in the rear which can hold about 16-20 of the stock fighters in the game, depending on how neatly you park them.


The Battleship has a hanger amidships, which can fit about 25-30 of the stock fighters. Again, that depends on how neatly you park them. The turrets on the battleship are not functional, and I won't make functioning versions until I get make them look the way I want and until things attatched to the ship via rotor or landing gear can be copied with the ship.


Yeah, I know it can be done, but in my opinion current turrets are a kludge and, if you want to copy the ship, you have to rebuild the turrets or copy them seperately. It's early alpha, I'll wait to make proper turrets until later.



I haven't done an official count on the Carrier's capacity, but 25 fighters take up a fraction of the main hanger, let along the space of the two smaller hangers (one is too small for the stock fighter, but perfect to tiny, agile fighters) the other hangar at the stern under the flight deck can fit about 6 of the stock fighters without issue, and there's plenty of space between the wheather deck and flight deck to pack in about a dozen more without sweating space.

The flight deck will fit the following:

4 of the giant red stock ships
6 of the stock blue ships
many, many fighters. Like I said, I haven't done an official count because I'm kinda lazy.


Anyways, enjoy the ships.



If you like what I do, please comment below or if you have suggestions as well, I'd love to hear them!



Enjoy,

Could you make blueprints of your ships?
