What Adjectives describe my ship
Sleek, Fast, Firepower
It was hard to decide, it was the Defiant or the Scimitar, I went with the Scimitar as she carried far more firepower. But then again, the Defiant has a lot of firepower for its small size. Gha. . … head desk’s four times
There’s no visuals of it, but the ship I would want to be inside when ordnance started flying would be the ship Dahak, from Dave Weber’s Empire From The Ashes series. Basically, Dahak is the size of a moon (actually, it was the Moon, camouflaged), moves at 0.5c, and has batteries that fire relativistic missiles with black hole warheads. And said missiles can enter hyperspace and pop back into realspace in an enemy’s face. And did I mention it’s the size of the Moon?
I think this might be Dahak, right? (The massive “planet” behind the tubular gravity drive ship.)
Archduke Astro’s Classic Dreadnoughts Mod had ships in the height/width = 350 range. I don’t know the max GSB will take. But a “death star” might be very cool. Moving at 0.5c of course.
btw - all great submissions, tnx! So no one wants to travel in the Order Redemption frigate? Yeah, might be a trek walking from port to starboard.
If I remember right, the official diameter of the Death Star II is something like 800km in diameter. The moon is nearly 3,500km, haha.
And I don’t know if that’s what Dahak would look like, anyway. I think he’s had at least two different bodies. (Dahak is also the name of the ship AI).
It’s my idea of what J.J. Abram’s enterprise should have looked like. And notice that little Battlestar on the lower left corner? That’s to give the [size=200]Sombreroprise[/size] a sense of scale!
Is their any other choice? They ended up on the edge of our solar system, impossibly out numbered, impossibly out gunned, fought their way home,eventually banished from their home planet, watched said home planet’s surface turned to glass, yet still eventually won the war against a giant alien race, rebuilt humanity, and took the fight back to the stars!
