    Welcome to the main thread posting of the Local space patrol command or LSPC fleet where you can view all of the finest vessels available or accesses some of the latest development of the newest in progress ships currently under construction within the shipyard. LSPC faction is a dedicated to preserving the security and order amidst a galaxy filled with pirates and chaos. As such its ships are typically built with high survivability in mind with the capacity to conduct long distant patrols of deep space. Each class of ship within the fleet is are meant to function as a team with some ships to act as tanks to draw the enemy into combat accompanied by other ships to support the fleet by either providing electronics warfare capacity or provide power or shield energy to the tanks flanked by other classes of ships with a DPS focus that breaks the enemy. As there are numerus possible roles that are necessary for successful fleet action the fleet is fairly large that currently rages from light shuttle size – cruiser.

    Shuttle craft

    - These craft provide the light logistical capacity for the fleet there meant to serve as point to point transportation, emergency evacuation, exploration, and light recon duties. These ships are not intended to be combat capable as such there armament is very light but are compensated through there fast speeds warp drives and relatively high shield capacity.


    - LSPC Humming bird class light utility shuttle



    - LSPC Humming bird class light utility shuttle


    This small but fast shuttle is ideal for most light duties; the LSPC Humming bird light utility shuttle is well suited for point to point transportation light mining duties and local scouting operation. As it is a light shuttle it has vey minimal weaponry however it is cheap and an ideal starter ship.


    LSPC Flamingo class heavy shuttle

    LSPC Flamingo class heavy shuttle

    The Flamingo is the fleet’s primary heavy shuttle that is well suited for long distance exploration, transportation, mining and evacuation. It is significantly more robust than its smaller counterpart boasting over 91k shields and heavy armor allowing for greater combat survivability. This shuttle though not intended for combat operations its high durability allowing it for possible recon operations. This craft is a significant upgrade to the humming bide and is the logical step up once rescores become abundant.



    Light Fighter craft


    Within the LSPC fleet these ships are intended to maintain air-superiority through the weight of there numbers. These craft unlike the shuttles are dedicated military vessels that are small and economical enough to be manufactured on mass. They typically range from 14-27m in length and specialize in taking down similar sized craft however if numbers are favorable swarms of these ships can easily attack much larger vessels. Fighter craft within the fleet were deigned to be incorporated into carrier fleets or star base defenses and as such they rarely possess wrap drives as these system would be redundant in context. These craft sacrifices long range capacity and interiors for combat efficiency making them a cost efficient way to defended local territories.


    LSPC Gaul class light fighter




    LSPC Gaul class light fighter

    -This ship forms the backbone of the fighter fleet and was designed specifically to be modular and easily stackable into carriers and to swarm enemy defenses. This fighter is equipped with a quad rapid fire cannons with speeds in excess to 300 m/sec, however small it possess over 100k shields and 1,276 recharge. The Gaul is well suited for local patrol and escort duties, as well as scouting and anti-fighter roles, but in numbers it is well capable of alpha striking larger targets.


    LSPC Talon class fighter bomber




    LSPC Talon class fighter bomber

    The Talon class fighter-bomber is the principle attack fighter of the LSPC fleet. Unlike its smaller cousin the talon was designed to fulfill a multitude of task and missions without compromising efficiency. Boasting over 120,000 shields, quad rapid fire cannon array and a dual swarm missile system, the Talon has enough fire power to strike targets much larger than itself


    LSPC Raptor class interceptor



    LSPC Raptor class interceptor



    The LSPC Raptor class interceptor is among the fastest ships within the LSPC fleet. Purpose built to defend local space from enemy incursions and to out run any of its competitors the raptor is well suited to destroying enemy fighter and bomber formations before they have a chance to know what hit them. Interceptors within the LSPC fleet are intended to strafe enemy bomber formations before they have a chance to attack, but like the other fighter craft theses ships high speed and shield systems allow it for a multitude of other attack roles.



    Gunships

    These vessels are heavily armed; wrap capable, attack craft, that forms the principle long distance patrollers for the feet. A significant upgrade from fighter craft these ships are capable enough to act in independent missions. These ships are among the smallest in the fleet to boast a number of turrets giving it all round field of fire, combined with a powerful ship board armament these craft a potent force. Typically in groups of three their ideal for both local defense, raiding, and pirate hunting, overall among the most cost efficient classes within the LSPC fleet.


    - LSPC Osprey class gunship




    LSPC Osprey class gunship

    Often the last thing a pirate might see the LSPC Osprey gunship was designed with one purpose in mind that was to break the enemy. The gunship is among the smallest ships in the LSPC fleet to be fitted with turrets but it’s far from lacking fire power. Despite its small frame it is equipped with twin G2L2 rapid cannon firing turrets as well as two G2L1 turrets for all round firing capacity, its main armament consists of a quad rapid firing cannons and swarm missile array. Warp capable, reasonable speed, and with a sizable shield capacity and armor, the result is a very heavy hitting and formidable craft that well suited for raiding, patrolling, escorting, defense, alpha striking, and of course pirate hunting.


    Heavy fighters

    Heavy fighter craft within the fleet form a more specialized role these ships are intended for heavy fleet action specifically to act as a dedicated turret buster. These craft are large and relatively less agile compared to the smaller fighter types making then poor dog fighters but instead possess accurate and powerful artillery pieces that can break down the shields of even capital sized ships and focuses down on their main turret batteries. A capital ship without its turrets would be highly vulnerable to smaller faster craft that can then simple out maneuver it until it is destroyed. Heavy fighters typically operate in squadrons of two and usually function within a fleet group.

    LSPC Condor class heavy fighter


    LSPC Condor class heavy fighter


    Among the largest fighter craft within LSPC faction it boasts some of the heaviest fire power and shields having almost 200k shields with a dual rapid fire ion cannon and a dual explosive effect linked artillery system. As it is so large its mobility is limited but instead is equipped with two G2 anti-missile turrets and a rear defense G2 light cannon. As it is a specialized craft it is rarely found among typical patrol missions but instead is stationed in either large star bases or super carriers until a major fleet action is taken and its heavy armament could be put to full effect. The Condor is well suited for alpha strikes, orbital defense suppression, capital engagement, and long range fire support.

    Corvettes form the first line of defenses for any patrol fleet and within LSPC these ships specialize in countering enemy swarms be it missiles or drones. This class is typically small relying on speed and swiftness to overcome enemy opposition. Their armament typically is numerus with weapons systems and turrets that have relatively low dps that can simultaneously attack multiple fighter or drone sized ships. Corvettes typically form patrol unites of four ships a class and usually possesses warp drive with enough equipment to take on most light engagements. They have sufficient interior for crew cargo and other essentials however these ships are classified as light targets and would fare poorly against strong capital sized targets. However in fleet actions these ships do provide an essential role in reducing the enemies capacity to swarm the larger ships of the fleet with either drones, missiles, or fighter craft targets that corvettes can make short work of.


    LSPC Equium class anti-missile corvette



    LSPC Equium class anti-missile corvette


    The LSPC Equium class is the most common and versatile corvette found patrolling the distant reaches of LSPC space. Corvettes within the LSPC fleet are typically small ranging between 40-60m in length but are well-armed ships relaying on their fast speed to outmaneuver enemy targets and often specialized in one or two roles. This corvette is multi-purpose but is very well capable in counter missile tactics. Despite its small frame the corvette is equipped with six G2 Anti-missile turrets making it the first line of defense against enemy missile swarms. Being a corvette the Equime is also a capable anti-fighter craft its main armament consists of twine rapid fire punch through effect cannons and can deal over 5000 dps ,along with its two G2 L1 light defense cannons allows for multi-targeting and quick death for most pirate craft


    LSPC Lupus class missile corvette



    LSPC Lupus class missile corvette


    The LSPC lupus class missile corvettes are the hunters of the LSPC sectoral fleets. Developed from a canceled high performance military transport, the Lupus has instead been re-modified into a deadly long distance hunter-killer patrol vessel that can decimate most pirate fleets. These blast boats possess a dual warp drive system, as well as scanners, salvagers and a host of other onboard weaponry systems that allow for a large degree of independence when patrolling deep within enemy space. Intended to travel in “wolf packs” of up to four vessels these ships are equipped with two swarmer missile systems four direct-fire missile launchers and one powerful sniper missile launcher all of which are linked with 1/1 explosive effect The corvettes also possess a full interior and cargo hold accommodating even the most home sick of crew. The Lupus is well suited for alpha strikes, ambushes, pirate hunting, seek and destroy missions, medium bombing sorties, missile support action, light artillery support, long distance patrol’s, exploration, and base defense.

    Frigates


    For any fleet attempting to secure something like the vastness of whole quadrants there needs to be a ship class that can come to the battle with all the versatility and fire power necessary to be effective but also small and economical enough to be made in the numbers necessary. Frigates fulfill this requirement and are the back bone of the LSPC fleet completing mission’s requirements form pirate-hunting, anti-fighter, anti-frigate, exploration, long distance patrols, star base defenses, raiding, electronic warfare, interdiction, capital engagement, star base assault, each and rescue, and spec opp’s mission . These ships usually range from 60_110 m in length and typical relay on their speed, fleet support, and high survivability to remove threats to galactic security. Virtually every frigate class is equipped with at least a few point defense turrets that provide an all-round field of fire allowing for multi targeting. Survivability is key for any ship however frigates tend to balances speed with high shield capacity depending on variants that make them formidable force within the battle field. Frigates typically operate in groups of three ships a class with several other possible combinations with other classes depending on mission requirements but for fleet action they usually form a supporting role for the larger capital ships but there superior speed allows them to make decisive flank attacks.


    -LSPC Auxiliary class support frigate

    LSPC Auxiliary Class support frigate


    The concept for the LSPC Auxiliary class support frigate came about for a need to have a heavy duty logistics freighter combined with the capacity for fleet action in the certainty that it would be warping in and out of high conflict zones. Designated as the primary support craft for the LSPC navy the Auxiliary has had survivability to be its primary objective and has been equipped with over 880k shields with 40k recharge a capacity to withstand the majority of pirate attacks and ambushes. Being a non-front line craft the Auxiliary is only deceptively vulnerable as its defenses substantial defenses include quad rapid fire punch through effect system ideal for destroying light targets and a long range sniper cannon ideal for deterring frigate sized threats.

    - LSPC Zonam class interceptor frigate
    LSPC Zonam class interceptor frigate


    “First to the fight” Fast very powerful well-armed patrol frigate good for anti-pirate duties.

    The LSPC Zonam class is the principle attack and patrol frigate of the LSPC fleets. This ship is intended to out run, out maneuver, and overpower enemy targets through the use of its extensive thrust systems that accelerates the frigate to speeds in excesses of 265m/s. As a purpose built long distance patrol craft the Zonam is equipped with an overdrive subsystem allowing it to reach speeds equivalent to even interceptors for sort durations. With all the speed of a fighter the Zonam is also armed to the teeth giving you the choice of either melting through enemy hulls with powerful quad overdrive rapid fie cannons or blast them apart with two batteries of direct fire missile systems. Apart from its main armament the frigate is equipped with a variety of turret systems that include 4 G2L2 series light turrets, one G2M1 medium turret, 1 G2L1 light rocket turret, and 13 anti-missile turrets. Including two batteries of side firing swarm missiles the Zonam has an all-round field of fire making it a strong counter measure against swarms, light fighters and similar sized ships.

    LSPC Inquisitor class electronics frigate

    LSPC Inquisitor class electronics frigate

    “ Digital warfare at its finest” Excellent warp inhibitor and missile jamming capabilities





    Introducing the LSPC Inquisitor class electronics support frigate. This craft is among the smallest of its class but also one of the most essential craft to operate within prolonged fleet engagements. Equipped with banks of super computers and possessing a wide range of electronic warfare capabilities the inquisitor though combat inefficient provides the fleet the spectrum of control needed to hunt down elusive enemies or impede the advance of stronger ones. The ship is equipped with warp inhibitors, jamming capacity, scanning, and warp drive making it incredible useful for long distance recon missions and for holding down pirate forces while the fleet provides to neutralize them. Though not a dedicated combat craft the Inquisitor is not defenseless equipped with over 7 G2 series point defenses turrets and multiple ams turrets the craft is well capable of fending off enemy fighter and drone attacks and maintains a relatively high shield and shield recharge capacity to with stand most assaults.


    LSPC Imperium class battle frigate

    LSPC Imperium class battle frigate

    “ death of all pirates” Purpose built battle craft deigned for pirate base obliteration


    LSPC faction proudly presents one of the most formidable ships within the fleetthe Imperium battle frigate.This ship is essentially a small battleship constructed with no hold backs on its offensive armament and equipped with enough fire power to obliterate space stations. Ships within the LSPC fleet have had survivability in mind but this ship is prepared with over 2.3 million shield capacity including 50,000 recharge making it more than capable to withstand whole pirate fleets. This is an offensive ship as such it is equipped with an ion sniper beam system that can remove over a million shields from an enemy capital ship as well as a dual artillery battery to punch through thick armor and a rapid fire explosive effect system effective at eliminating smaller targets. The Imperium is also armed to the teeth in turrets equipped with 2 G2M1 medium turrets, 2 G2L1 rocket light turrets, 4 G2L2 beam and cannon light turrets and the powerful G2L3 flack turret that can clear the skies of virtually an opposite fighter craft. The Imperium has full rp interior including med bay , security, cargo, hold, living quarter, engineering, and command bring. This ship though expensive is under most circumstance a dominant force in the battle field and can reasonable stand toe to toe with even larger capital sized ships. As such the imperium is well suited for capital engagement; base busting, pirate hunting, anti-missile, anti-fighter, anti-frigate, anti-cruiser, siege breaking, assault, raiding, alpha striking, long distance patrol, base defense, fleet support, armed battle platform.

    This seems reminiscent of the Forruners from Halo, such as the small drones and the overall style. I like it.
