Alex's New Chiss Ships, Stations, and Vehicles.

[Alexander Dregar]

You hit the nail straight on boss! That was the exact plan to begin with. And thanks! I am trying to get as many done a day as I can lol!

With Alex at the helm, I don't see the Chiss running out of good ideas anytime soon. The defensive stations are well armed and balanced, the vehicles well put together. I like his work. Greatly. :)

The only thing I can say so far is the Athlos is way oversized. I mean a fully equipped battlestation that's larger in diameter then an Executor-class would bankrupt the Ascendency.

 

[Alexander Dregar]

The Athlos isn't a battle station lol, but I CAN bring down some of the weaponry on it! It is a space dock, only a handful of them, designed mainly as fabrication plants!

For the record, the designs posted in here are the not the final draft, and have been edited since being added to the writeup, although I have significantly toned down the armaments of the Athlos Space Dock. Granting that it's primary purpose is to be huge for supply and other similar services, and not an armed battle station, it did need to be nerfed. At the moment, it's probably got about the firepower that an average capital ships possess. These stations are often found near other structures as well, so they aren't needed to solely provide an arsenal of defense.

EDIT: I know that 20k meter stations exist as classes to Imperial Star Destroyer designs, especially incorporated as Star Dreadnaughts or Space Stations, but this one serves the way Alex implied, for its specific purpose. I think focusing on that point and the available compliment of fighters should make up for the reduction in armaments.

Sounds good to me! If anyone seems flaws like Boli did, feel free to bring them up with me. I am NOT trying to make godlike ships and stations. I am trying to make them reasonable and workable. Changes are needed for every idea, big and small, so I willingly accept constructive critisim!

The admins ruled at the start of the review that the largest vessels should be 15km, no more. Whether that applies to space stations or not was never made clear, but I'd play it safe and reduce the size anyway. I don't want to deal with some scenario where one was refit ICly down the line - I'm not saying that's what you'll do, mind you, but it's just a general preventative measure.

For safety's sake, I have edited the Althos class station down to 15KMs for the moment. Until it is decided by admins whether or not it can become 20KMs, it'll remain 15. I also edited its weapons up to more correctly correspond with a station of its size, rather than a cruiser xD

 

[Zach]

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Boli. I hadn't seen that limitation before. Thanks for fixing it, Black Noise. Maybe stations will be able to be larger at some point down the line, but I think keeping them within the same limitations for the time being is best.

While i hadn't considered refitting ships later on, it did get me thinking of an idea. Later on in the timeline, if a faction receives a mass of resources or materials ICly through an event, would these be able to be used for larger fleets (more ships, not bigger ships)?
