If you please note - i have updated and changed some of the ship classes about with more information
if you will please have a quick read nothing major but if possible could you make some tweaks to your cs sheets if needed,
Sorry to be a pain - just trying to get the ships to suit their roles better :)

Ship Classes

>>Note that these are mostly just suggestions. If you wish to command a vessel not listed, please ask me and give a description and i will say yay or nay <<

Dreadnought -
The Dreadnought is a massive ship, typically 1.5-3 Kilometers long, with a crew numbering at least two to three thousand, and sometimes used as a Flagship in a fleet. The DN, in sublight speeds, is amongst the slowest in the entire Alliance navy. Due to its sheer mass and inertia, it’s often difficult to pull complex maneuvers in this type of vessel. However, due to it’s sheer amount of guns and armor, a common tactic is to just park it in front of an opposing fleet and have a slugfest, throwing heavy hits and receiving heavy hits, tying down the opposing fleet, and allowing more maneuverable vessels to flank around. DN’s are a type of ship that has not been developed in a long time, many DN’s currently in service are very old, from an age of war long ago, refitted with modern technology. Recently, Alliance shipyards have relearned how to recreate these massive vessels, and have only made a few so far. Most Dreadnoughts contain hangers.
DN's are slow and have a wide turning angle. But can take and deal a lot of damage. they Cannot enter a planet's gravitational pull as it will instantly mess with the ship's systems and possibly the planet itself.

Colony Class -
These ships are old. When most races started exploring the stars Colony ships were used to transport those across the great expanse. as they are from a time before FTL drives. They was fitted so that entire cities could board and live in comfort while they drifted upon the stars. they had everything from refineries, assemblies, medical facilities, hangers to drop civilians on the planets etc etc. in their original form they had little in the way of weaponry they did have point defenses against meteors.
But today most of the colony ships have been decommissioned, the few that are still in service have been retrofitted. Depending on the size the retrofitted colony ships can take on almost any role needed, acting as a light dreadnaught or carrier, or if needed a support mobile repair unit to help in the aftermath of battles.



Carrier -
This Ship ranges in size (.9 -1.4 kilometers) and typically are lightly armed. but have a vast Small ship arrangement. The carrier's main job is to move to a location and deploy its fighters bombers and other ships that are apart of its roster.They never engage in frontline combat due to their light armament but are a crucial part to any operation.
A captain of the Carrier must have great strategic capabilities as modern technologies allow the captain to simultaneously set up orders from the pilots in real time overview.

Assault Carrier - while their role is vastly the same, Assault carriers will have a larger array of Armaments for space combat and sometime space - planet side combat.
however this comes at a cost - they are unable to carry the same amount of smaller ships. This is due to the housing of the weapons themselves as well as the space needed to store the ammunition

All carriers are quite slow and have a large turning circle.

Battlecruiser -
(size: .5 - .8 kilometers) Unlike their shorter-range battleships that are tied to the main fleet, the Battlecruiser is designed to take the fight to the enemy territory, and even their homeworld. With this mission, the battlecruiser would have spare part and ammunition factories, larger crews, full sick bays, and larger cargo bays, along with the best FTL system in the fleet. To deal with all tactical situations that would arise, the battlecruiser would be armed with a vast array of weapons. Due to how much a battlecruiser carriers The hangers upon Battlecruisers are limited. having room for a few transport ships and a couple of small escort ships.

Battleship -
While the battlecruiser is made for long-range combat away from the support of their bases, the Battleship is the main short-ranged ship killer. These would be mainstay of any fleet, these ships would be armed with Light Anti-ship cannons, and the armor to take a pounding. These ships would be the largest produced of any warships in the fleet.
they have room for smaller shuttles and drones in the hanger

Frigate -
The Frigate Class ship would mostly be used in stealth ops escort missions and suppression. While this ship wouldn't be able to go toe to toe with anything larger. A Frigates Job in open warfare would to be to support the larger ships and Smaller ships with suppressing fire. These ships only have room for a couple of small suttles and a couple of drones.
Frigates would also be used for boarding parties. as their smaller size and speed would allow them to get close to hostile ships thusly allowing for troops to be inserted faster and safer.
They are extremely common and the easiest to reproduce.

Assault Ship - these would be a multi-role warship that mounted the weapon systems to deal with other combat ships and cargo ability to transport marines with light armored vehicles and shuttles to the planetary battlefield. These most likely would be your Running ships that dealt with any planetary operations.
they would also be used in restocking friendly ships with Ammo should the need arise.
Depending on configuration these ships would either have lots of storage or one large hanger that "stores" equipment needed for ground assaults

Heavy Cruiser - A heavy cruiser being the traveling and fighting companion of the battlecruiser, being a long-range warship that is cheaper than the battlecruiser. These heavy cruiser would be the massed produced ships, and mostly likely the first warship on the scene.
A heavier Cruiser would mostly act on the attack keeping the fire away from the other ships. They have a midpoint when it comes to armor and speed, often used as the main assault force of any fleet.

Small ships

>>Any ground based vehicles you wish to use please list in your hanger roster If you wish to add any other type of ship just ask me with details and i will say yay or nay<<

Scouts probes - These probes would be used to scan a system quickly and report back to the main fleet. As probes are smaller and cheaper to produce than ships they would be likely unarmed and unmanned with limited FTL Capabilities

Drones - Lightly armed and armored mass produced. the idea of these are to swarm the Hostiles and dig away till they get through.

Drop Ship/ troop - These Ships would be used to insert Marines onto planets and other ships. with a capacity of 20 + three crew they would the largest of all the small ships
Support Drop ship - This ship would be similar in design to that of the troop drop ship, however the Troop hold would be replaced a lifting capability for supplies and vehicles.

Bomber - A large, multi crew ‘bomber’. Harkening back to the bombers of WW2, the crew of a bomber would likely consist of a pilot, bombardier, navigator, and several gunners.

Fighter Bomber - Fighter Bombers are smaller than normal Bombers, and only consist of a pilot and navigator/copilot. As a result, they carry a smaller load, but are maneuverable enough to fly without an escort.

Fighters - These ships would be heavily armed and armored with a capacity of 2 crew. they would escort the other small ships closely

Interceptor - Interceptors are extremely fast, extremely maneuverable, often single seat fighters designed to take out other Interceptors, Fighter Bombers, or bombers.

Shuttles - multi role. Shuttles are very cheap and reliable, they can be fitted with small caliber/low energy weaponry. can be used to drop of explosive devices. troops (6 max), supplies. they are used for the smaller class ships as they are only 9 meters long

Ship Designation
GANS - Aegis

Ship Registry
NX - 0017

Ship Class

Ship Crew
700 crew members

Ship Weapons
Point-Defense Lasers Turrents x12
Defensive Torpedo/Missile Launchers x6
Ion Pulse Cannon x1

Ship Technologies
Particle Impulse Engines - Instead of ion engines, the Aegis uses magnetic fields to produce a constant stream of high-energy particles, as well as to provide vectored thrust. It's so efficient that the tiny amounts of matter present in interplanetary or interstellar space can be collected through weak magnetic fields and converted into a thrust medium.

Experimental Inertial Flux Engine - By precisely controlling the quantum energy level of every atom on the ship simultaneously, the inertial flux engine assumes the inertial states necessary to produce motion in any direction. In effect, by operating the controls, the pilot chooses from instant to instant what vector the ship's atoms will next possess, and the inertial flux engine alters them simultaneously-along with everything else aboard, including the crew and passengers. An inertial flux engine does not operate within a planetary atmosphere.

Ion Pulse Cannon - The strangest thing on a ship of this caliber, squeezed into this Frigate is an intimidating Ion Pulse cannon while not as big as if it was on a larger ship, its destructive ability is still devastating. The freaky scientists behind this designed this weapon to be able to render ships of larger sizes like battlecruisers to be partially weakened after being hit by a charged shot by one of these, while for smaller ships to be rendered incapacitated.

Absolute Defense System (ADS) - Another experimental system for both the shielding and radar system, which hooks up 25 selected crew members onto the special system while the Ship Captain monitors them while doing his own thing. Hooking their consciousness the selected crew members can observe the inside of the ship and at the same time outside the ship during battle being able to sense up to 2 FTL jumps away. The ADS also has an AI program which effectively maps, marks and predicts before alerting all connected personnel of incoming attacks coming towards them. When in battle, the Aegis sets itself stationary as the engines now become generators to create extra energy during battle.

The shielding system on the Aegis however are the main focus of this experimental program, which involves the 25 members having monitor the ship's status and statistics while the Captain manually sets up the shields. It is the most powerful shielding system ever created to be put on a ship and can withstand a few blast from a larger starship with little problem. Creating purple hexagonal shields that overlap each other to form a defensive grid. This shield system is operated through a pair of keyboard controls, setting up effective defensive patterns based on the information from the AI System, which plots the trajectories of incoming projectiles.

Ship Appearance

Notable missions
Don't Die
Don't destroy the Aegis, we're still under contract

Other
The GANS Aegis is a ship full of experimental equipment with the funding of multiple scientific organizations who wish to tests these programs all in one ship. Making the Ageis a ship with a unnecessary ship full of space, as it's 700 crew leaves a third of the ship open for all these extra things. Meaning that there is more space that is going to be needed to cover, as all that extra space holds all the experimental equipment on the Aegis. Due to being a small ship with many things inside of it comes with many restrictions between the programs which will be listed

Restrictions for Ion Cannon

• The Ion Pulse Cannon requires to be charged, and targeted after that it will carry itself out until it disperses after a while. During this charging time, shield system will be rendered 50% maximum efficiency and generators will be charging cannon as well.
• When charging the Cannon, the Aegis will be put into a stationary mode with its engines becoming generators instead to charge the Cannon meaning position before hand is needed if you don't want to be shot down.
• A short time after firing the Ion Cannon, the Aegis shields strength will slowly be restored and engines will slowly restart themselves before accelerating after some time energy to carry itself onward. Meaning that it not safe after your done firing off the cannon, as everything else has to recover and the energy has to be relocated back to the different programs.

Restriction Shielding System

• A person who has high intellect is required to calculate the optimal positioning of the shields even with the AI helping the person out to position the shields. In case the AI system fails for what ever reason, that person who still be able to use the shielding system like normal.
• Continual pressure from high-yield weaponry will severely deplete energy reserves and drastically decrease the strength of the Absolute Defense System's shielding.
• An attack of high enough force over a small area will overwhelm the shielding at the point of contact, sapping the efficiency and effectiveness of the shield, which will lead to a structural collapse of the shield.

The Lady of ClockWork

Name
Remi Evergreen

Age
36 Years Old - 16 Years Online

Race
Android

Rank
Captain/Head Scientist

Skills
Ms. Remi is a skilled user of all technology due to being an android and is a talented scientist, studying the stars as an Astrologist and as a Biologist when they land on planets. Thanks to her skill-set she easily knows first-aid using plants from other planets and collects herbs for sampling before harvesting them for later uses.

Away Mission Equipment
(If your character will ever get off the ship on an 'away' mission, on a hostile world.)

Personality
(This will be explored more as the Rp progresses - short paragraph is acceptable)

Quick-Bio
Ms. Remi was part of an unfortunate accident that had gotten her stuck in now what is now her new body. 16 years ago, Remi Evergreen was a normal girl who was going to school and working her butt off to survive in the ever-increasing world that was difficult. Her parents had ditched her early in her life and ever since then she was forced to do everything for herself. Not having much time for a decent life, she was just working everyone of her day for money. One day she was on her way on her every normal busy day, was knocked abruptly off a platform and fell, landing on the floor seemingly dead. Her body was broken and she was not going to live, she knew that as she was being taken to the hospital as her eyes were getting harder to keep open. At the hospital she signed a paper confirming to try and test out a new form of life-saving technique on victims as badly injured as her. Miraculously she did survive, but realizing it when she looked in the mirror she was now an Android, she grew conflicted feeling about herself.

Thankful the Scientist and Doctor had saved her, she quickly said her goodbyes and left before trapping herself inside the house to decided what to do now. Sigma hearing this break through contacted her and recruited her into the Navy where she worked and attended school at the same time. With a new found discovery of not actually needing sleep or doing any of her bodily functions anymore made her feel lonely. She occupied much of her time with work, as stamina seemed not to be much of the problem and she quickly finished her schooling in a record-breaking time. During these years, Remi had been doing things for the science circle, posting papers and thesis of her ideas was making her known in the science community. Her discovery as an android in the science circle boost her reputation up as there had been no one like her and soon one thing led to another and she was able to get their current ship, the Aegis.

[AbysmalDemon]

Ok, got it.

Btw is my CS approved now?

[Stitchblades]

@GummyCat looks good so far - assuming yor going for a cyborg or robot sort of race? haha

@AbysmalDemon just waiting on @Avanhelsing so we can talk about it quickly

[ArenaSnow]

In that case, it would be simpler to switch to a battlecruiser.

Mind if I keep the size and dub it a rather large battlecruiser?

[AbysmalDemon]

Ok. :)

[GummyCat]

@Stitchblades

Actually can you give your thoughts on this race, its sorta of a struggle between Robots or another race I was creating which is right... here

Race

The Asseri are a species of humanoid who have some sort of resemblance to the figure and details of a human but they are faint as their colorful eyes often ranging of different hues of the rainbow; distract people not from their species, as the species have Heterochromia or the trait of having different colored eyes . Their beliefs and understanding are conveyed through emotions as the species are able to communicate to each other as they are all mute. Having only a unique kind of empathy which allows them to sense the emotions of people around them or focus upon a certain person, however they cannot focus themselves. Thus they are sensitive to emotions from species outside themselves who don't know how to suppress their emotions as well as them. Some rarer cases of certain individuals of the race are know to be Clairempathic who are extremely sensitive to emotions in a large area being able to feel them all.

Their language of emotions is a complex and detailed one of mixture of feelings that provide... indescribable feelings to a person who is outside their species as the emotion this race can create are complex. If a Asseri was to overwhelm an Human for example it wouldn't take a simple conversation between the Asseri before the human would feel their stomach doing knots and his skin tingling with bliss, while also breathing heavily from excitement. The only possible races that could give some sort of conversation to the Asseri are themselves and other races who have similar capacity of emotions as they do. Many other options exist to which other races can communicate to the Asseri however these are the best ways to communicate directly to them.

Besides their Empathy, the Asseri are know to be smarter than humans but however are more sensitive and inclined to react to emotion rather than logic. They also have a special part of their brains which allows them to embody a emotion randomly from birth however, what emotion they can embody can change if something disastrous happens to a Asseri's life. The most common emotion the Asseri can embody is Kindess as their soceity rarely have conflict hence their greater emotional understandings between one another. The emotions that starts to become darker are the ones to start becoming uncommon, as few people in their society have been able to embody such a emotion however in text it says that it has been done before. So their darkest emotion, as well as rarest emotion to embody would be Vengeance as people of the Asseri know no physical way to hurt one another and when someone does learn how... things start to fall apart as people start to join the dark embodiment.

Hence their embodiment to emotion, the Asseri and preform minor feats of the supernatural with just pure belief in their emotion that they embody. The stronger and experienced the holder has on his emotion, the more understanding they know of what his/hers emotion can preform. Those who learn to use their emotion masterfully are considered scholars of that emotion officially even if they don't understand how to teach it their own kind, it a rare feat to achieve mastery in a single emotion. However it has been know that the current emperor of the Asseri has 3 emotions which he carries which are Hope, Happiness, and Terror... However the last emotion has yet to be seen by the people and they hope that its just a rumor.

The Asseri's society is a mixture between nature and eco-friendly technology that combines the two to have less damaging effects onto their home planet. Their specialty involves with medicines and plants as their connect with the land is a unique one. Being able to understand the plant's emotions allows the Asseri to comply to nature's wishes and in return grants them better harvest.

[edit: Kind of a copy and paste but its what I was going for]

[Stitchblades]

@GummyCat i like the sound of that race - reads very well! ultimately its up to which you decide
but either race would be okay

[Stitchblades]

@ArenaSnow i will allow it - feeling nice tonight :P

[Apollosarcher]

Greetings all. The refitted colony ship has arrived.

[Stitchblades]

@Apollosarcher took your sweet time ;) late as usual haha jk jk

[Kimiyosis]

Not bad, the updated BC info matches exactly with my BC
It's literally has to have the strikecraft to be latched on outside if it wants to carry any XD

[AbysmalDemon]

I'm not going to do this right now, because there is now way I'm going to spend that much time typing today, but is it ok, if we have another ship/captain CS

[Stitchblades]

@Kimiyosis get that ducktape ready!

[Stitchblades]

@AbysmalDemon as in second character/ship?

[Kimiyosis]

@Kimiyosis get that ducktape ready!

@Stitchblades

Eh...give me the duct tape capable of surviving FTL warps, and that is the go-to material!

[Stitchblades]

@Kimiyosis well i'm sure when this rp is set ducktape will be even stronger than it is today

[AbysmalDemon]

@Stitchblades like a second battle cruiser, or another captain

[Stitchblades]

@AbysmalDemon would hold off on that one for now -
lets wait till everyone's CS's are completed and accepted first to see where we stand
