    Warship Design Thread

    Edit: This is not a contest. It has been discontinued (It was finished/deceased over three months ago). You can still post designs but it will not be rated and no "Prizes" will be handed out.

    Because I am bored...

    Rules are as follows:

    1. No spamming.
    2. It has to be realistic. (If you can make it realistic via backstory or a technological factor, that isn't too far out, then that's fine.)
    3. 2 entries per contestant.
    4. Do Not Take Names that have already been used: Ex. Titan Class
    5. Try not to badmouth or insult other entries/creators.
    6. You have to follow this Format;

    Class: (Frigate, Destroyer,Cruiser,Carrier,BattleCruiser,SuperCarrier and Dreadnought.)

    Faction: (UNSC or Covenant)

    Ships of the Line: (name it whatever you want, but not to far fetched please.)

    Timeperiod: (Pre-war, Outer Colony Massacres, Siege of the Inner Colonies, Covenant Civil War, Post-War.)

    Tonnage: (How big is it, 100 tonnes, 1000 tonnes etc.)

    Demensions: (How long, high and wide it is.) Ex: 3 kilometers length, 400 ft. hight, 600 ft. width.)

    Engines: (Ex. 2 D-T Fusion Reactors for the engines and life support)

    Armor: (How much armor it has and what kind of armor)Ex: 2 meters of Titanium A armor.)

    Armarment: (What Weapons does it have)Ex: SMAC or MAC, Plasma Torpedos and Pulse Lasers.)

    Hanger Contigent: (What does it have in its hanger, does it have lifeboats or does it even have a hanger.)

    Crew: (How many people are aboard this vessel and Does it carry ground troops for planatary assault or boarding actions.)

    History: (Whats the Backstory in the Halo Universe of it)

    Tatics: (How does it fight the enemy.)

    Re: Warship Design Contest.

     This is my first entry:

    Class: Titan Class Battle Cruiser

    Faction: UNSC

    Timeperiod: Post-War

    Ships of The Line:

    Odhinn

    Tonnage: 150,000 tonnes

    Demensions: 2.5 kilometers length, 500 feet hight, 600 feet width.

    Engines:8 D-T Fusion Reactors, 2 for the ship's propulsion and life support. One for each of the 2 MAC's and 2 for the SMAC. One for each of the 2 Shaw-FujiKawa drives. Max Slip-Space speed is 25 light years a day. Various thrusters for adjustments to yaw, pitch and roll. 2 large grav lifts for Atmospheric Operations.

    Armor: 3.5 meters of durasteel, titanium alloy, reinforced with plastisteel coating. All decks and rooms have airlock doors and bulkheads, so as to minimize ship damage in the event of an armor failure.

    Armarment: 2 MAC's place shotgun style in the front, 1 SMAC, above the Double barrel MAC arangement, 150 Archer missle pods, 150 90mm flak cannons for point defense, 100 75 mm autocannons to complement flak batteries, 5 experimental 120 mm Railgun turrets, 1 aft of the Bridge, 2 fore of the Bridge, 2 on the bottom of the ship protecting the hangar bay. 10 Missile Silo's for Titan class missiles, interchangible with Shiva Missiles. 4 Fenris Warheads,5 Nuclear ICBM's for ground bombardments, each with a yield of 15 megatons.

    A.I: 3 "Smart" A.I. for battle cordination from the bridge and targeting control.

    Hangar Contigent: 20 Pelican Dropships, 25 Longsword Interceptors, 20 Shortsword Atmospheric Bombers. 100 HAV's. 50 Lifeboats spaced through out the ship for emergency evacuation.Each Lifeboat seats 15 marines including the pilot.

    Crew: 5,000 Total, Bridge Crew is 50, Matence is 450, Gunners 1,500, Pilots 200, Marine Contigent numbers at 2,600, ODST Contigent 200.

    History: The Titan Class Battle Cruiser is one of the most costly and massive projects ever taken on by the UNSC. After the end of the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC started ths program to have a ship that could match Covenant produced ships in one on one battles. The Odhin is the first of this class of ships, and serves as a flag ship for an entire UNSC Fleet. Due to new composite materials used in the construction of the frame and armor, this ship has a much lighter tonnage than earlier ships of its class.

    Tactics: The Titan Class Battle Cruiser can engage a Covenant CSS Battle Cruiser head to head and come out victorious but should serve in a flag ship role, unleashing massive firepower where needed so as to support other ships of smaller tonnage.

    Cost: 75 Billion Dollars (Current USD)

    Re: Warship Design Contest.

    Class: Dreadnought

    Faction: Sentinel

    Name:The Protector

    TimePeriod: PreWar FoeRunner era

    tonnage: 100,000 Tonnes

    Dimension's: 5km long 1km wide .75km height

    Engines: pulse ion drive/ experimental high energy slipspace drive

    Armor: high energy Plated energy Shielding/ 1 meter energized plating

    Armarment: 5 high intensity laser lances set in a circle at the front center of the ship, 100 small high intensity rotating laser lances positioned throughout the ship for point defence.

    A.I.: 10 Ai's similar to the moniter's on each of the halo instilation's

     Hanger Contingent: One small main hanger, thousands of small hangers holding 5 sentinels each. and facilities to produce sentinel's onboard

    Crew: 10,000 sentinels that configure into 5 10 and 25 sentinel configurations for attacking small fighters and to attack larger ship's

    history: manufactored at the same time of the halo ring system by the foerunner's The Protector was designed to counter any threat presented before it. The Protector resides around The Ark protecting the system it was deactivated temporarily but now prowls the depths of space again destroying all that is put before it. The foerunners greatest warship in creation dont expect to survive an encounter unless you are in a fleet and even then your only choice is retreat.

    Tactic's: The Protector mercilessly seeks out enemies and slaughters them targeting the bridges with its large laser lances to disable a vessel. its sentinel's take different configurations to accomidate the needs of the ship once a ship is destroyed it is mined for usable materials in the creation of new sentinel's

    Cost: unknown made by the foerunners no current technology can hope to match it.

    Re: Warship Design Contest.

    Class: Frigate

    Faction: UNSC

    Ships of the Line: Defender

    Timeperiod: Post-War

    Tonnage: 3000 tonnes

    Demensions: 450 meters Long, 317 meters high, 285 meters wide

    Engines:  2 D-T Fusion Reactors for the engines and life support

    Armor: 1 meter of Titanium A armor

    Armarment:  30 PD Autocannons, 23 Archer Missle Pods

    A.I.: 1 Smart A.I. 8 Dumb A.I.'s

    Hanger Contigent: 8 Magnetic Disruption Drones, 10 Kinetic Reactive Drones

    Crew: 25

    History: The Defender Class Frigate by all means lives up to it's name. with 18 drones capable of blocking shots from enemy ships, both kinetic and energy in nature, it can ensure the survival of the all important super-capital ships during an intense space engagement, allowing it to fire it's heavy guns for many more vollies.

    The drones themselves are what make this ship unique. Being armed with only point defense guns and archer missles, and having only one meter thick armor, this ship is useless without the drones.

    Magnetic Disruption Drones use a powerfull electromagnet to literally destroy beams of plasma as well as torpedo's. Although each drone can onl be used a few times before it literally fries itself, each shot blocked means another volly for the ship it's protecting. Kinetic Reactive Drones use an explosive charge to destroy an incoming projectile(such as MAC rounds). Although they do not always work, especially  with MA and SMAC rounds, they are great at destroying nuclear warheads and other missles.

    The drones are controlled by the dumb A.I.'s onboard the ship, which allows the re-use of the A.I's, compared to losing a computer system each time a drone was lost in the case of on board A.I's 

    Tatics: It is placed near ships of importance as to release drones and defend that ship as well as itself

    Cost: Due to new the advanced technology invoved with the the Magnetic Disruption drones as well as the high cost of the production facility in the ship, it totalls out at about $82,000,000

Fought at the Battle of Reach and destroyed another Frigate and damaging a Cruiser. It narrowly escaped by jumping into slipspace shorty for the Shaw-Fawjikawa slipspace generators were damaged in the fight. It then limped to Earth were repairs were made. It was sent out on a distrece signal and after a battle with two frigates was destroyed and damaged each of them.

    Tatics: Fires one of its nuclear mines and sets it to detonate .9 seconds before the dual MAC rounds hit thus destroying any unshielded ships and nocking out nearby shields, fires 10 Archer Missle pods set to impact .5 seconds after Mac rounds hit.
