    This will be my first post every presenting my ships to the community, so please be kind, and any improvements that I can do to make this shipyard thread better, please private message me and assist, I would greatly appreciate that, thank you.

    The Ori Imperium, an ancient, and vast interstellar empire relentless in the pursuit of galactic peace, through diplomacy and technological advancement. If pushed, they would use nothing short of planetary annihilation, to achieve their goals, and force the end of conflict throughout the Galaxy. Created eons ago by dying race of humanoids, their original goals were to continue their masters legacy, and memory. All would change however, when thousands of years later, while living in seclusion, and secrecy, a flourishing and burgeoning federation would set in motion a chain of events, that would forever alter the course of history.


    Unbeknownst to synthetic beings, the federation was watching from afar, safe from intrusion and counterattack, with added anticipation. For a battle fleet was hurtling towards the Orion homeworld with orders to subjugate the native population, and add them to their strained, and exhausted slave work force. Exiting hyperspace in orbit of the homeworld, they quickly commenced orbital bombardment, devastating many of the vast city centers on the surface. The fighting was immense, however the war would be short, because without the experience and knowledge of waging conflict, the synthetic race was quickly overwhelmed, and divided. The overwhelming firepower of the federation fleet, through the combined use of bombardment, and seizing control of the population, the federation swiftly subdued any resistance that tried to rise up and fight. Much of the surface would be later mined and destroyed for any valuable material, the conquering forces needed to continue their campaigns of conquest.


    The synthetics that survived the destruction of their home and escaped enslavement, laid damaged and broken, and left to wither away among the once pristine cityscapes now turned rubble slag. When the federation left, content with scavenging what they could from the planetary body, the Orion's gathered, and rebuilt deep underground, creating networks of tunnels, and architecture. It would take hundreds of years, but they focused their research in warfare, analyzing bit by bit, every detail of the federations bombardment and back engineering weapons they carelessly left behind. The synthetics then spread out, searching for resources that weren't pillaged by their foes, establishing mining colonies within asteroid fields, and barren worlds in their home system.


    When the preparations were complete, they set to work, repairing and replacing what little remained on the razed surface of their world, built vast construction facilities, research laboratories, and manufacturing plants. They build design after failed design, tested weapon upon weapon, honing their skills, and knowledge through rigorous trial and error. Then as the sun was coming over the horizon of the Orions homeworld, a large fleet assembled in orbit, and at that moment, as the fleet's jump drive spooled into motion, they knew, they were ready. Ready to free what remained of their people, and bring the fight to the federation.

    ~ Beginning Actual Transmission ~


    Citizens of the Multiverse, This is a wide band transmission from the ONS Shipyards. Today we are proud to the public, Oceanus class battle cruiser. Whether you want to intimidate your rivals, or just overwhelm them with ranged missile bombardment, this ship can be the backbone to any sized fleet.​




    This ship sports an array of 36 individual turrets. 16 dual point defense systems, 8 heavy cannon turrets, 4 heavy missile turrets, and 8 light/medium cannon turrets. Not only that, but the main armament of the Oceanus can devastate any pirate station with its barrage of ion missile arrays, and its hard hitting damage beam missile arrays.

    The Oceanus also comes with a modest interior, but please be advised, a bicycle may be required to reach to bow of the ship, in a relatively timely manner. Unless of course your an Olympic athlete, then by all means, run the full 716m distance from bow to stern. The ship also boasts a number of rooms, the most notable of which is the interior bridge, communication tower, 2 cargo bays, as well as two large hanger pods.



    For a complete list of rooms
    , please follow the link below.
    [ ONS - Oceanus class Battle Cruiser ]

    The ship has been created with broadsiding in mind, so turning speed, and maneuverability was second on the design teams priority. A complete list of the ships features is as follows:
    • Mass: 77,309.398
    • Dimensions: Length - 716m, Width - 119m, Height - 31m
    • Power: 41.3 million
    • Power Regen: 2.8 million
    • Auxiliary: 3 million
    • Thrust: 23,809.5
    • Max Speed: 59.3
    • Shields: 11.8 million
    • Shield Regen: 306,146
    • Structure HP: 16.9 million
    • Armor HP: 18.4 million
    • HP Penalty: 1.6
    Docking to stations has taken priority, due to its large size, it may not be feasible to dock the Oceanus within an outpost, mining station, or shipyard. So the ship comes equipped with two standard docking ports, both hanger bays also come standard with the shuttle tube mark 1 black edition (Name pending revision). That is all for today, please tune in next time for our next installment, as we bring you our latest design in anti fighter capability.

    Hi

    Shields value look too low for ship of these size, I've expect about 100m

    Hello there.

    The ship is more flat then usual ships of its size, and I included quite a bit of rooms as well as offensive systems, which took up much of the interior space. The ships height of 31 blocks also accounts for both the external hanger bays, and the conning tower. So once you remove both of those, your looking between 23 to 25 block height for the main hull of the vessel. One of the missile arrays take about 40 million power by themselves, so I needed to place quite a few box reactors in order to compensate for that power drain. As a result, shields were the last to be placed within the ship.

    The 1,217,038 shield capacitors needed for 100m Shields have a total mass of around 122k. This is a 77k mass ship.

    Hello and welcome back, and on this episode of Ancient Archaeology, we.....

    I swear, if we get another transmitter malfunction, I'm going to...

    What do you mean it wasn't the transmitter that's causing the problem...

    …..They were how much!?

    That's insane, how does one pane of glass cost so much?!

    *Pauses*

    The insurance will cover the cost right....why are you shaking your head?


    *Looks down and Sees the mic was left on*


    Oh....uh. Hello Citizens of the Multiverse, today we received another data transmission about an important ship design that was released. They are calling this design the Athena class light cruiser. Its main role is anti missile, and anti fighter. The turrets that the Athena comes equipped with, are 18 dual point defense turrets, which can also be found on the Oceanus class vessel. Now, I know what you all may be thinking, point defense is used primarily to shoot down incoming projectile based weaponry. However, I have been assured by our researchers that the point defense turrets can also be directed toward incoming fighter, and bomber squadrons.

    All someone needs to do, is trick the turret AI into thinking that the fighters are in fact, incoming missile based weaponry. Now, since the AI tends to argue back and not follow orders at times, it is advised, that during battle situations, manual reset of the turreted systems might be needed, for them to work correctly.




    Now I know, the ship looks almost exactly like the Oceanus right? Well not really, because what makes the Athena a completely different design, which in no way, makes it seem like a copy of the previous ship, is the addition of the frontal deflector dish. There is also the addition of an on board scanning array, also situated behind the deflector. So if someone wants to scan a sector ahead of the main fleet, this is the ship for you.

    The main armament of the ship is a single group of 32 missile arrays, which is slaved with damage beam, with an explosive effect. The ship was created for the supporting role, and even though there isn't that much in way of shields, its intended for these to be destroyed first, as to reduce the potential defense of the overall battle fleet.

    Now, for some stats of the ship.​

    • Mass: 28,284
    • Dimensions: Length - 405m, Width - 93m, Height - 26m
    • Power: 7.7 million
    • Power Regen: 1.3 million
    • Auxiliary: 3 million
    • Thrust: 5,897.5
    • Max Speed: 52.8
    • Shields: 1.8 million
    • Shield Regen: 148,170
    • Structure HP: 4,019,360
    • Armor HP: 8,328,825
    • HP Penalty: 1.1

    Unlike the Oceanus, the Athena does not come standard, with shuttle tube sleek black version 1 [Name Pending Revision] however, it does have enough space to house rather small fighters, or shuttle craft, if the customer wishes to include their own design for the explicit purpose of populating the Athena's standard issue cargo pods.



    For a complete list of the room list for the ship, please follow the link below.
    ONS - Athena class Light Cruiser

    Unfortunately, that is all the time we have for this broadcast folks, please tune in next time, for we will be unveiling our answer to the question. How do you punch a hole in something, if the Oceanus can't do the job?

    ~Transmission commencing~


    Hello, and welcome back to another transmission from the ONS Shipyards, this time, we will be releasing intelligence on our recon scout vessel, the Aries class Patrol Craft. This magnificent vessel dates back centuries, and is one of the oldest designs currently in service, in the Ori Imperial Fleet. This workhorse comes in a variety of forms, from its main scout capability, to mining operations, and cargo transports. At first glance, you may notice that the design isn't very practical, as the standard heavy missile turrets, are located on the belly of the ship. I am being told that feature is very intentional, as the ship is also meant to carry out limited orbital bombardment of enemy worlds. If the planetary shield and anti starship weaponry are disabled of course.

    Equipped with powerful sensors, this ship can slip into the edge of enemy territory, and if it isn't detected, and destroyed within the first 5 minutes of operations, it would be able to reveal an entire sector of space. The ship isn't limited to just scout operations of course, as it can also be an escort vessel for civilian vessels, such as mining rigs, and cargo haulers. If your looking for a relaxing, carefree cruise through space, this ship isn't for you, because while there is very little in the way of amenities, as in, a flower on a desk, this ship can be clanky, noisy, and humid.


    Be warned however, due to the age of the vessel, the crystalline power cores of this class have the tendency of emitting severe levels of metreon radiation, which, our researchers have found, will not only extend your life span, but also have the side effect of loss of hair follicles, loss of finger and toe nails, as well as an acute case of scratchy throat. Don't worry though, as the temporal properties allow you, perspective buyer, to go back in time, and give yourself preventative medical care. So, that you can keep yourself from contracting the disease, in the first place.




    The Stats of the ship, are as follows.


    Ship Stats

    Mass: 6,742.8

    Dimensions: Length – 140m, Width – 39m, Height - 30m

    Power: 1.5 million
    Power Regen: 254,420.5
    Auxiliary: 436,559

    Thrust: 3,738
    Max Speed: 75.5

    Shields: 740,228
    Shield Regen: 20,014

    Structure HP: 1,136,295
    Armor HP: 1,899,800
    HP Penalty: 0.74


    Docking to stations and ships will be pretty easy for this ship, as there aren't any of those pesky hanger pods protruding from the port and starboard sides of the vessel. This ship also comes equipped with 4 dual point defense turrets, and 1 single point defense turret. It also has the main missile armament, that comes standard for all ONS vessels. As always, for a complete list of the available rooms on the ship, please follow the link below. ONS - Aries class Patrol Craft

    I have edited the posts I previously made, and added spoilers for the images, and relocated the lore to the original topic post. I did this to try and make each post more cohesive, and to slim down in the overall size my posts.
