osiris carrier

[Jinx]

the suggested concept for the order carrier was:

- class : battlecruiser
- armour : BC like ( 300.000 )
- agility : BC like - which is considerably better than a battleship
- size : i sized it to be quite long - but still a very small target from the side / back - comparable to the luxory liner in terms of how you fly it. - it won t be too hard to dodge slower projectiles with it ( supernovas from a medium range should not be a problem )

shields : destroyer/cruiser shields 250.000
bats / bots : suggested amount is 1000 ( which is twice as much as a ship of that size "should" have.
cargo capacity : 1000

weaponmounts : 16 cruiser/destroyer type turrets - lvl9. ( highest amount any cruiser type ship has )
powerplant : battlecruiser powerplant

whats the effect of all that:

the ship is going to be very efficient when it comes to the use of its weapons. the BC powerplant allows allmost non stop firing of basic turrets and a very long and sustained fire of 16 order mk2 turrets even. - however, it cannot match the battleships firepower - and is quite limited in the use of special weapons, like mortars ( unlike the battlecruiser that can mount 2 heavy lvl10 turrets ).

the superior agility of this ship makes it easy to fly through rough space, like asteroids and debris ( easier does not mean that you can let the autopilot cruise through it ) - and it ll give the ship an edge over "normal" cruisers/destroyers. the greatest enemy the order usually faces is the BHG destroyer + escorts ( and yes, i m only speaking of the NPCs atm ) - so this ship will easily be able to overpower those BHG patrols.

this ship is not meant to go face on face with the liberty carrier. - in fact, the liberty carrier would simply wipe the floor with this light carrier, if the pilot was ( sorry for that term ) stupid enough to fly against it. - the power of this carrier lays in its size and its ability to enter places that the liberty carrier can never even dream of going to. - however, while the liberty carrier is a show off and a real flagship that can stand its ground in the front line of a thick battle. - this carrier is supposed to be a temporary base for hit & run tasks.

the BHG battlecruiser is supposed to be slightly stronger when its a straight 1 vs. 1 - but then, the BC is a single warship, while that carrier is supposed to carry some wings of bombers and fighters ( in RP )
