Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


nothing to seehere posted:

Just finished catching up for this LP, so Make me a captain . I'll take anything destroyer sized or larger, call it the Alien Vessel

Also: why is no one designing anything bigger than 9,900 tons? I understand we won't be able to jump with it, but we have gate tech, which will mean that modt systems worth defending will have wormholes to them, so larger ships can help defend them.

IIRC, because Word of Saros is "don't." We're designing just the jump-capable colonial fleet right now to reduce the design spam, nobody wants to try and keep track of like 30 different designs come voting time. If the main line fleet that fights in Sol/the gate network is ever relevant I think he'll be cooking it up, or we'll have another contest then.

Not true at all, 9900 tons is simply the maximum our current Jump Engines are capable of handling. Maximum ship size is 17,000 tons as per Saros' post.

When I get to my computer that has the Aurora install, I'll post my 17,000 ton dreadnought design. Generally it looks like:
- 45cm spinal and a 30cm secondary battery
- Secondary ASM armament (thinking of changing it to torpedoes to use during a beam fight)
- 9 armor, ~55 shields
- 4k speed

Doctrinally, let's keep the BBs in Sol since it's still our main strategic theater and even with gates, colonies won't have the maintenance cap for a long time to support BBs. In fact they probably won't leave Mars orbit unless we've gotten into it with earth or IC again. Tactically, their job is to assault strongly fortified bodies or enemy BBs in open space.


And while we're talking deployment doctrine, we should figure out our fleet disposition in Sol going forward. Now that Uranus and Saturn are friendly, Neptune isn't terribly relevant as a fleet base. We should rebase our outer system fleet to Uranus or Saturn. Both places need some new fixed defenses as well, especially Titan since Earth has that refueling station. We could use some designs for new-tech PDCs and weapon platforms.

I think Neptune should still have either the same or more defences than before the start of the war with IC, but we should definitely be trying to build up Uranus as a primary shipyard thats outside of the UT's view.

TBH, i really think we should operate on the assumption that most of the not-capital/jump drive designs we're cooking up here get used both in Sol and the colonies. Whats the actual differrence in requirements between the two? 12-18 months deployment time already exists on the current fleet, the MSP storage on our ships being yanked up is a good idea no matter where they go, so the only theoretical requirement difference is fuel stowage. I think just making the entire fleet able to operate in either theatre would be a great help for strategic flexibility, and greatly eases the production logistics situation as well.

Pharnakes
Aug 14, 2009
The main difference is the logistical situation. Ships in Sol might have a theoretical 18 month deployment, but that doesn't mean they can't come back for more fuel, ammo and repairs whenever they need it. Our colonial fleets cannot. The 2 theatres call for very different design philosophies, so much that I believe a split fleet is the way to go despite its inherent complications.

I wouldn't worry too too much on logistics aside from what Saros says we should worry about. I think the given for the LP is "what is going to make this as fun for Saros to run and for us to enjoy watching" more than anything else.

Fray
Oct 22, 2010

The colonial fleets will have their own bases. Fuel, MSP and missiles cost nothing to store outside Sol so any colony can do it, and transporting them is inexpensive so we can build stockpiles during peacetime. The only reason a ship would need to return to Sol is for major repairs or refit, at least until the colonies are big enough to support their own yards, and that will be true no matter how you design the ships. Maintenance clocks are a factor, but that just means we won't be deploying very large ships like BBs outside Sol for a while.

Nick Esasky
Nov 10, 2009
i very much disagree on that point. The only requirement for a colonial ship that isn't also a very good idea on a Sol ship is the fuel requirement, and the only thing to be gained from losing that is perhaps one laser's worth of weaponry. Additional colonial ammo/repair logistical considerations are best handled by dedicated tenders, not by compromising on the combat effectiveness of our ships.

Well yeah, that's what I'm saying. Colonial fleets aren't actually that hard to supply cause any colony can be a depot, so specialized colonial designs aren't necessary.

These fighters aren't really intended to accomplish anything beyond dying gloriously. Stuff 41 of these target dummies into every last gen carrier we can lay hands on; drag the carriers up to the JP and then flood the fighters through in a standard jump. They're so fast that some of them might even live to continue distracting the enemy after soaking the first salvo. In any case, the rest of the fleet makes squadron jumps 5 seconds afterwards while the defenders are still reloading. Thanks to Ceebees for help with updating his original design

Shitposting in Seattle

My take on a DDG is a little different, essentially my logic is the DDG's are fairly fragile fleet assets, they just need the biggest magazine and biggest number of launchers possible to fit on a somewhat survivable chassis. In a fleet fight their main defense is other targets are likely a lot more dangerous or priority, however with 4 layers of armor they should be able to survive until their magazines are empty and they can withdraw. Their active sensor is mostly a backup unfortunately, and they will probably rely on fleet ships to maximize their missile throwing potential, although they aren't blind without a spotter ship either.

Between the Launchers, Magazine and FC/Sensor almost 46% of the platform is dedicated to firing of missiles.

I think the Ark Royal posted earlier is a fine Cruiser jump tender. So I don't feel the need to create a new one. Instead, here are jump tenders for both the Destroyer and frigate/corvette size ships.

For our various beam frigates, I present the novel Paw class jump frigate. Given the abundance of beam frigates in the Martian fleet and the sterling service of the Snaggletooth I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 or 3 of these giving good account of themselves in any hypothetical JP assault. It is essentially a Claw class frigate with the main laser replaced with a jump drive. Accordingly, recommend fleet doctrine is to make a squadron jump in a minimum distance from the JP to facilitate closing to beam range with the enemy immediately. Thanks to it's duo of cutting edge shields and lighter armament, any opponent foolish enough to prioritize targeting a Paw will quickly be taught regret by the quartet of Claws or other beam frigates it ferried in-system.

I think I've come around to the hybrid approach, but with a kinda of Melissa Meyer twist. Using a crapton of box launchers, you can add a lot of missile capabilities while closing.

It's a cool line of thinking. Do consider that 27 box launchers for size 4 missiles is an 810 ton 0HTK void in the middle of a 9900 ton ship

25% size launchers only gets us 16 tubes but they can now reload without maintenance facilities. 33% size launchers is only 12 tubes but resolves the plaguing 0HTK issue by bringing it to 1HTK. (I'm a fan of the 33% size). 27 tubes is also a pretty good argument. Lots of considerations :)

Incidentally think the discord is firming up on 75% size launchers as a sort of middle ground. Test the viability of reduced launchers without diverging from old doctrine too much & keeping the 2HTK of full size launchers

Are there any considerations for nonmilitary designs? It would save some MSP/etc to use commercial hulls for the noncombat fleet (like a civilian freezerbus, tanker, etc) especially since civilian-flagged ships can still mount 'military' jumpdrives... Or they could use civilian jumpdrives on bigger ships with bigger engines to tow the gently caress out of some slower military tonnage like a murderbarge full of box bombers. But that would probably be separate from / after the initial extrasolar combat fleet is up.


Also might be worth pointing out: you can't tractor a ship/station/etc through a non-gated JP if it doesn't have an engine. So they'll have to be jumped inside hangars.

This is the answer to the unasked question of how to field different Fighter designs in deep space if we need 9900T ships to be heavier CG's and Beam combatants.
The design can hold 2 Full-size Fighters, features as much MSP as some full Fledged CVL's, Sufficient fuel for limited Operations (As it's engines are relatively efficient) & can store 42 S4 Missiles.
The design also features 5 Layers of Armour, making up for a lack of Shields & allowing it to survive any surprise attacks (That aren't several WH26 Torpedoes at once).

The real power behind countless overlords

If we're talking fleet composition I'd hope it would be built around Jump tenders. That would mean 4 9900 ton cruisers, 4 or 8 4500 ton destroyers and 4, 8, or 12 frigates. With maybe some marine raiders attached. I'd hate to waste jump capacity by bringing in a lighter ship with a heavier jump tender. Having only 4 destroyers assisting an equal number of Cruisers would feel unbalanced to me. Given the way our ship designs are shaking out, I think I'd be delighted to get a fleet composition of:

1 9900 ton Assault Jump Tender carrying
3 CGs with secondary beam armaments (the hybrid missile/beam ships we've been discussing)
1 Beam Cruiser of some design.

2 4500 ton Assault Jump Tenders
4x DDGs
1 AMM DD
2 PD DDs
1 CVE with 3k - 4k tons of hanger space or another AMM

I think 2 4500 ton assault jump tenders would be good because we have a wide variety of DD designs and I really want a foursome of DDGs to boost the salvo density of our CGs.

1+ 3000 ton Assualt Jump Tenders
2 Fleet scouts
2 Fast Frigates armed with beams (arguably these duplicate the beam cruiser but I think they're behavior is different enough to be allowed, especially if the frigates emphasize speed over other design elements)

Has anyone even submitted any frigate design roles other than beam or scout? Maybe a JP assault specialist to replace the two fleet scouts when doing assault jumps?

I wouldn't mind bringing a 9900 CVL in the main colonial force, but it's going to be so, so vulnerable in any JP assault I'd rather plan around only having them available if we have a secured JP already. I don't mind the likely loss of the CVE so much. Expendable is right in the name after all.

Whatever Saros wants to give us in terms of a fleet will be awesome though.

My logic on the fleet shaking down as carrying fewer ships was mostly to keep smaller Cru-Div sized forces, the logic would be that larger fleets could easily be formed by adding a jump tender(s) to carry more cruisers and destroyers.

For our basic combat task group, I'd rather have multiple cruiser divisions than one cruiser division and two destroyer divisions. It makes our overall production, strategic deployment, and tender allocation simpler.

How about this for a basic TOE unit:

code:
-Heavy Cruiser Squadron
     -1x Fleet scout
     -2+ Cruiser Divisions
          -1x 9900 ton Tender
          -1x Beam CA
          -2x CG
          -1x Gauss CA
      -Support Division(leave out of JP assaults)
         -1-2x CVL
         -Mixed FSVs, troop transports, etc as appropriate for mission
Non-organic divisions of specialist DD for duties like AMM or raiding can then be attached as needed for an operation. I think this will be both well rounded and modular.

After some discord talk, I'd also propose this as our basic destroyer division:
-1x 4500 ton tender
-3x cavalry beam DD. Magnus's schiap design would work.
-1x AMM-PD DD

It can operate independently to defend or attack lesser objectives, or it can be attached to cruiser squadrons as a supporting formation.

4000 km/s under tow, then it can drop the pod and run down pretty much anything with its beams. The missile pods could also double as colony defense, or jump point defense with torpedoes.

Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


That seems.... disturbingly effective. Swap a 15cm for a microwave, and you will wreck poo poo.

I love it! 3 of those and a similar design with the laser replaced with gauss PD will wreck things up.

Extrapolating on Frey's Organization, which is pretty similar to mine here is how I would say envision a operational chart for our forces for say a jump capable line fleet, and its support vessels.

The Big Advantage is this fleet cuts down on redundancy, each ship does its own thing and fills a vital role, and we don't have multiple beam cruiser designs, PD designs or missile boat designs. Everything is consolidated into fewer and more robust platforms. As a result there are only six combat designs in this fleet (CA, CG, FR, DD, CLAA, CVL) and Six support designs (FSV, CO, TK, JT-99, JT-45, FS). Right now for example the Martian navy has ~11 designs for Cruiser, Carriers & Destroyers alone.

Additional ships such as Troop Transports, Landing Ships, Marine Corvettes, Survey Ships all can be attached as auxiliary forces, while Capital Ships such as the Mariner Valley will form their own fleet groups as they are jump incompatible.

1st Interstellar Fleet

11th Cruiser Division
1x Fleet scout
111th Jump Cruiser Squadron
- 1x Jump Tender 9900 Tons
- 1x Beam Cruiser (Cruiser Division Flagship)
- 2x Missile Cruisers
- 1x PD Cruiser
112th Jump Destroyer Squadron
-1x Jump Tender 4500 Tons
-3x Calvary Beam Destroyers
-1x AMM Frigate

22nd Cruiser Division
1x Fleet scout
222nd Jump Cruiser Squadron
1x Jump Tender 9900 Tons
- 1x Beam Cruiser (Cruiser Division Flagship)
- 2x Missile Cruisers
- 1x PD Cruiser
223rd Jump Destroyer Squadron
-1x Jump Tender 4500 Tons
-3x Calvary Beam Destroyers
-1x AMM Frigate

1st Fleet Support/Reserve Squadron
1x FSV 9900 Ton (+Jump Drives)
1x Tanker 9900 Ton (+Jump Drives)
1x Collier 9900 Ton (+Jump Drives)
2x Light Carriers
2x AMM Frigates?or Beam Destroyers (Mix?)

The entire fleet numbers roughly 29 ships which makes for a very powerful and well rounded force. The Fleet can then be broken down into a pair of Cruiser-Divisions of 11 Ships which are similar in size although much more powerful than their current iteration. These Cruiser Divisions are composed of a Destroyer Squadron and a Cruiser Squadron based around their respective jump tenders. As a result for minor threats we could detach a single destroyer squadron, while major threats might necessitate a whole Cruiser-Div. In addition to these forces there will be a 5th "Reserve" Squadron likely based out of one of our major fleet bases such as Triton, which will command our Support Ships, Carriers and some reserve destroyers either for escort duty or to replace battle casualties.

2x 9900 Ton Tenders
4x Missile Cruisers
2x Beam Cruisers
2x PD Cruisers
2x Light Carriers
2x 4500 Ton Tenders
4x AMM Frigates
6x Calvary Beam Destroyer
2x Fleet Scouts
1x Collier
1x Tanker
1x FSV (MSP Bus)
