Order Super Battleship Design Contest //-stationary base as a ship

[Shagohad]

right - here s another idea.. ( a more serious one that time )

how the ship is designed:

the whole ship is roughly barge size ( without the sunsail ) - so around 4 times longer than the osiris ( or 2 times longer than the zoner juggernaut )

its pretty wide due to the extensions, too - and as tall as the barge. - the basic design is of course - liberty-like. ( but not osiris like )

it is not a "common" shipdesign. - for one.. it has NO engines. - most of it is used up by habitational modules and other sections - while it doesn t need 1/3rd of the whole ship as a reactor / engine like the osiris or the dreadnought.

so the whole ship is practicly immobile - but you also see the two large "claws" on either side of it. - each one is large enough to "dock" with an osiris. - so if this ship was about to become mobile - it would be two osiris battleships to manouver it in teamwork.
as a more stationary base, - that is also meant to be more independent. - it features a gigantic sunsail. if this ship is meant to have a powerful base defense. - it needs a lot more energy than the basic station. - so while a large civilian station like freeport 1 has two large sunbeam reflectors - this one would need more.

the sunsail itself could of course be retracted to allow it to move.

i can break this design up into several "modules" like a normal freelancer base - so you can place the parts into the system like a starbase - or i leave it to be one single model ( which makes it easier to hardpoint )
the whole design is extremely large - but mostly due to the sunsail. - i think the idea of a large shiphull being tugged by two battleships is better than having one dreadnought of rediculous size with an engine as large as a moon.

Oh wow.....Just....wow....

Do you think the Order would resort to solar sailing? Maybe just putting normal engines would be okay. I like the model, I do, but I don't think the method of power is fitting.
