Leviathan class Supertanker

[mohr]

This is the place to post comments, suggestions, and anything else that has to do with the Leviathan class Supertanker and its development.

Status: incomplete concept


The ship is planned to be a Cruiser to Battleship (maybe larger depending on response) sized transport. It will be very bulky; this is to make navigation through anything but open space and trade lanes near impossible. It will have no afterburners and a sloooow cruise start up. It will have few (1-3) weapons if any; this will require an escourt for dangerous trips. It will have simple transport class shields; no cruiser/gunboat shields even though it is larger. The hold will be very large, larger that a large train.

This is going to be a highly risky transport to pilot; less hull/shield than befitting its size (maybe less than a large train), little or no self defense, a huge size/target, it will handle like a brick in cement, and there is little help for an escape b/c of the slow cruise power up and no afterburners. It does have one huge benefit; the hold size.

This is a concept ship I am working on after the Kusari Bomber is done (by the end of today). It is an idea to try and promote trade lane trade routes and escourting. This will be a pirates and truckers fantasy at the same time. Well that's the idea... What do you think?

I am open to any and all suggestion on ways to improve the design of the model and the ships concept. Please post. Your assistance is apreciated and somewhat needed. I don't fly these things enough to be considered an expert.

Requests for new ships are not to be put in this thread, please PM me, however, I can make no promises; I am busy w/ real life and stuff (that is the cause for my long absense previously).

Thank you ahead of time, and please enjoy.
