Alright. For a short while, I've been designing a new ship for us. I've been tinkering mainly up until now, but with our Faction Leader's approval, the tinkering can now turn into fully fledged designing.
What I'm talking about is a flagship for the First Order. If there is any faction on the board currently that has precedence to have a flagship, it's the First Order. Based on the foundation of the Old Empire, we thrive on huge war machines and giant starships. It makes sense that we would want a giant warship to fight our battles and to represent the might of our faction.
First off, we have to look at what it's going to be designed to do. You look around and a lot of folks rely on long range weapons or make the the ship a great all purpose vessel. The event ships on the board range from one or two nasty weapons to spamming starfighters to spamming corvettes to brawling and more. Now, here's the thing. We either specialize or we generalize. We can't do both effectively and either option leaves weaknesses.
Here's what I propose: We fully commit to one end of the spectrum. We specialize.
Forget small ships, forget dealing with fleets, and forget trying to do too much at once. We're making a ship-killer.
The ship concept is simple. We're making a 5,000m ship designed to do one thing and one thing only: kill the big ships.
It'll be as heavily armored and armed as possible and feature one of our singularity drives that are under dev thread currently. It will have a very heavy armament condensed down into a 1-2 dozen batteries of nasty, hard hitting guns. We'll also need a good amount of Phrik to plate it in to enhance the durability.
There's other stuff designed for it, but those are the basics. It's gonna take the flagship thread and probably a sizeable phrik dev thread to complete. We're looking at 400 flagship posts and 20+ phrik posts at least, so a total of 420+ posts.
First Order folks have expressed interest and a brief conversation with a Resistance leader showed they express interest in the thread as well to help out and be the plucky heroes fighting the Bad Guys. I also have two corporate CEOs willing to add posts and weight to the ship, one is currently helping to design the Singularity Drive, the other is going to be designing and manufacturing the weapons as well as helping provide security to the ship.
So far, we have approximately 10-12+ people interested in the thread, possibly many more. I say let's do it, let's make the board's very first Flagship. It will probably take us a month or so, but let's give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe we might get it cranked out in less
Oh, and we have a name for it. It's designed to kill flagships and event ships and big ships. Factions use those as key, named vessels. As powerful weapons. As Symbols of their power. Our ship's name?
The Iconoclast. A destroyer of symbols.
Who's with me?
