The most beautifull 2 Warships you have ever seen in a game besides FL

This looks like a Gothic Monastery or a Cathedral. Coudl've been good building design, but for a ship, too many twisites, add-ons, little towers, etc, etc...

This one will eat it alive

I think you're underestimating how big the Eternal crusader is

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20...arison.jpg

Its twice the length (almost) and five times the height of your Assault carrier
It has enough fire power to destroy a planet.

So, uh, no. The eternal crusader will eat the Assault Carrier (possibly 2 or 3)
Alive.

Please use this image instead. That picture only compares itself to one ship from the same franchise, and one aircraft carrier.

EDIT: Also NEVER say a ship has enough firepower to destroy a planet, all the ships on that list are still minuscule against one. The only way it could come close to destroying it is if your beloved ship crashed into it.

TL;DR: Don't make stupid claims about spaceships or I'll get angry.

Not impressed, cuz both the Covenant Carrier as its crew look more awesome
I flew that thing once in a FL Mod, damn was i dissapointed
Also, its size just makes it a bigger target

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

If you check your own picture you will find that the ship is still bigger here:

Top left is the eternal crusader, bottom right is the assault carrier (you might have to squint your eyes a little bit)

I know the tech behind both franchises and I also know the assault carrier has one vital weakpoint: Exposed underbelly, where as Battle barges (the class of ship the eternal crusader is) are protected by Void shields which displace ranged attacks by subtly distorting the localized space-time around the point of impact

As for the planet destroying weaponry:

Cyclonic Torpedoes have enough power to ignite a planet's atmosphere following their detonation. The blast radius is large enough to be seen from space and the detonation powerful enough to crack a planet's crust and destabilise its core. Only the forces of the Inquisition and the Adeptus Astartes are known to have access to Cyclonic Torpedoes and can use them to order an Exterminatus.

Glassing planets? Cute

Thats your opinion. I personally find the gothic style of the ships nice, not to mention the space marine suits to be pretty bad ass.

1. I know, I was simply stating that your picture set no sort of scale between the two ships.

2.
a) Erm, you are telling me that it sets the atmosphere on fire? Even when such a creation is stable?
b) You are also saying the atmosphere then implodes...
c) De...stabalizing core? No, just no pls...

It took a large Covenant fleet to Glass this planet, but they succeeded. And glassing = just as bad as destroying a planet.

Im not telling you, Games workshop the developer behind Warhammer 40k is saying that. there are other ways however:

Orbital Bombardment

An orbital bombardment from Imperial warships is the simplest means of carrying out an Exterminatus, as it can be done solely through the conventional firepower already available to the Imperial Navy. The power of an orbital strike can range from small precision strikes, not unlike that of modern surface-to-surface missiles, to the unleashing of full thermonuclear blasts. Typically, specialised munitions are used, designed to destroy all life on a planet's surface and potentially any entrenched even in the planet's crust.

Virus Bombs

Imperial Virus Bombs release a special virus known as the Life-eater Virus that was genetically designed to quickly spread and destroy all organic cellular structures it infects, reducing all planetary life, whether flora or fauna, to an undifferentiated organic sludge of biochemicals. This process of cellular decay also produces huge volumes of flammable gases as a by-product, which is later ignited and turns the atmosphere into a firestorm that usually takes out whatever life may be left. Only those who may have escaped into especially-deep underground shelters can survive a Virus Bomb attack. The population of Tallarn managed to escape complete destruction this way, but their once-verdant world was forever transformed into a desert. Virus bombs are known for their extreme speed; in the fiction surrounding the Horus Heresy, they completely wiped out Istvaan III's entire population of 16 billion people in only minutes.

Two-Stage Cyclonic Torpedoes

Two-Stage Cyclonic Torpedoes, which are a more exotic form of the standard Cyclonic Torpedoes, are the most common of a special class of rare Exterminatus weapons, designed for use against atmosphere-less or biologically-void worlds (Necron Tomb Worlds being the main example). These torpedoes possess two-stage warheads: The first stage is an unusually powerful Melta Charge that bores straight through a planet's surface all the way down to its core. The second stage is a modified Cyclonic Charge that destabilizes it, in most cases physically destroying the planet from the inside out.

During the 13th Black Crusade, Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed, the Planetary Governor of Cadia and Imperial Commander of the entire Cadian Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus, ordered a massive nuclear fusion Plasma Generator (Generatorium), on the prison world of St. Josmane's Hope to be overloaded when it seemed that Chaos would finally take the world. Rather than a colossal meltdown, the reactor exploded with furious energy and blew the entire planet apart with the force of its blast.

I'm sorry, but...
This is all science FICTION.
All of it.
Yours isn't any more valid than warhammer fiction.

(I mean apart from that there are like, psychic's everywhere, but that's still technically just as valid as your crystal engine doohickeys, fission/fusion drives and what have you)

Anyway, as for ships, I'm a sucker for the apogee from starfarer.


And Morrigi ships in general
