Borg Immortal Class MK I

Built around a shield cube core, the Immortal Class represents the first in line of my defensive-focused series of Borg inspired vessels.

Built on a multi-layered hull design with a type of ablation shielding sandwiched between the inner and outer hulls. This armour is comprised of 76 separate and entirely self-functional turrets built only of shield blocks surrounding a 3^3 reactor. Each turret has a shield capacity of 38,215 and a regenerative strength of 2018 s/sec.

During combat, should the enemy manage to penetrate the outer hull, they are then forced to break though these individually regenerating armour plates before damaging the inner hull and gaining access to the core within. The damage spread out amongst these separate armour plates giving the vessels primary shield systems breathing room to regain strength - effectively taking the constant pressure away from the main body of the ship.

Thrust: 13,550.3
Turning Speed: 1.1 on all axis
Shields: 1,228,805 (27,258 s/sec) Factoring in ablation plating the total shields can reach a maximum theoretical capacity of 4,133,145
AMC Array: 13.263.8 DPS
Price: 88,985,850 Pricing covers the cost of both the vessel itself and it's 76 individual shield turrets.

Shield penetration testing against a fully armed pirate station on "mean" difficulty, parked 200m away, stationary, and under full sustained fire from the stations turrets. After 10 minutes of constant combat, shields reached 51%, after a further 20 minutes the shields were pretty much stable at 46%, no damage caused to the ablation armour as the pirates could not breach the outer hull.

Due to the ablative armour design, the vessel is vastly harder to damage during a movement heavy fight, so stationary shield tests don't really let it perform to it's fullest potential.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my latest Borg inspired ship! ^^

Here, have some pictures!

The first ablation turrets being fitted into place around the shield cube inner core.


One side of the armour plating fully fitted and a power block wire frame constructed for the outer hull.


All sides now fully covered in the ablation armour, and one side of the outer hull starting to take shape.


Some glowy green Borg goodness, sitting inside the entrance in the ship's airlock, looking through into the maintenance space between the hulls where you can do some manual repair on the shield turrets, the entrance to the bridge on the left.


More glowy green goodness!


The completed Immortal Class MK I, geometrical beauty!
