Joe's ToDo List

[H3xle]

Image Source: Sins of a Solar Empire
Affiliation: Techno Union
Manufacturer: Techno Union
Model: Orbital Defense Platform Mk I
Modularity: None
Production: Limited or Minor
Material: Durasteel, Glasteel, Capital Weapon components
Classification: Defense Station

Length: 1200 meters
Width: 1000 meters
Height: 900 meters

Armament: 15?
-2 Heavy Mass Accelerator Canons (Anti-Capital Ship, they go the whole length of the station, one on the Starboard side, one on the Port side)
-Anti-Fighter defenses

Hangar: None

Special Features:
-Shields
-Sensors
-Heavy armor
-Life support
-Targeting systems

Maneuverability: 9
Speed Rating: N/A
Hyperdrive Class: N/A

Strengths:
-Heavy anti-capital weapons
-Heavy starfighter defense
-Well shielded
Weaknesses:
-Easily seen (energy signature is unique and identifiable, etc)
-Immobile (You need a separate ship to move it from orbit)
-No Hangar space
-Poor capital defense

Description: With the cogs of the Techno Union's war machine getting up to full speed, there was a need for ready defenses should an enemy slip behind our lines. Meant to be the last line of spatial defense before an enemy fleet can make ground fall, these orbital defense platforms are designed to work in concert with other platforms and allied naval forces.

The aiming for the two massive MACs takes place by utilizing the maneuvering thrusters placed throughout the station, as they aren't independently maneuverable. They are able to be angled slightly on the horizontal axis, relative to the station, so as to ensure that both bores are firing on the same ship. Due to this design feature, the stations have a minimum firing radius of 1000 meters and a maximum firing radius of 15000 meters.

The stations are not meant to be independently viable. While they have sufficient defenses to ward off most fighter assaults, they are unable to independently fend off naval assaults.

Development Thread: Probably needed
Intent: To create a station to provide planetary defenses
Who Can Use This: Techno Union and select Allies

Killer images

[member="Darell Irani"], thoughts on weapons on that Station?

Pretty wiped from that dominion, bro. Let me sleep on it and I will get you guys some of my thoughts.

Looks good on first scroll tho.

Standard loadout will be:

Life support
Sensors
Targeting Systems
Shielding

Can probably work a few concepts from http://starwarsrp.net/topic/53025-the-ocelot/(I use it when I consider Stations)

Primary Source will be NA, its not building off another submission or pre-existing tech SPECIFICALLY

We can use a Dominion or two, focus an objective on development and that'll be a decent (read: Good) development thread.

you're also now Broseph.

Do I need to make a separate sub for 1200 meter mass accelerator canon?

 

[Corey's OOC]

I feel like that would be a starship?
But... yes, probably.

All of those concepts and images look a whole lot like the ones the Omega Protectorate possesses.

Well, there goes the ship ideas. I was planning something a little different with my mass accelerator, though.

Thank you for letting me know!

Broseph.
Lets work on the ship ideas in your head, we can replace those images. Do you wanna try your hand at a few of the load outs and then we can come in and help out?

There's no Factory or site ruling stating that you can't use those same images, or similar ones.

There used to be - but not anymore.
