Description A paint-make of the refitted Centurion battlecruiser of the Confederate Central Military. 1725 meters in length, it is a behemoth who's primary role is to protect planetary installations, engage in ship-to-ship combat and remain as command vessels behind the front. Forward and below the primary observation/command tower is an open-space repair dock for corvettes and frigates. It has vast holds for supplies. Incapable of atmosphere reentry however, it still bolsters a heavy supply of starfighters in its port and starboard 'fins'. On the ventral view of the vessel is an elongated scanning tower to map planets with great detail and efficiency, as well as provide a large sensor arc around the ship.

Armed to the teeth with large dorsal and ventral broadsides, the battleship also supports six long-range turrets which fire high-energy projectiles that, depending on yield, are capable of traversing the warp fields. Next to those are two forward-firing cannons that draw from the vessels capacitors, charged from an antimatter reactor tied into eco-point modules, which favorably draw from blue and yellow energies.

It's fun to do these things.

This ship looks like it could be armed with a forward facing railgun or linear accelerator cannon!

It reminds me of the Malevolent from the Star Wars: Clone Wars computer-animated television series, with the upper and lower observation bridges.  I wouldn't call it elegant from the protrusions and utilitarian design, though.  I would call it fearsome- and that is better for a military command ship.    What kind of shields do you think it would have, and how effective would they be against kinetic projectiles?

ClefJ In reply to DarthShmoogy [2014-07-09 08:14:13 +0000 UTC]

Fairly good shield, working off a similar technology as Mass Effect, wherein their shield relays contour the hull. The shields would 'deflect' like proper deflector shields, trying to change the arc of the projectile, and that effectiveness depends on the offensive-defensive power ratio. Stronger bullet weakens shield effectiveness, vice versa.

Thank you for the compliments! Always a charm to see some interest! ^^

In the last week or so I was thinking about how to make a good force field work.  I think I have the core concept for it, but I have yet to be motivated enough to draw any kind of design for it.  Strangely enough, I was inspired yesterday at work by a collapsible cardboard liner.  Weird how I get ideas sometimes...

You could probably get someone to do it for you on this site.

I like how it straddles that gap between realism and elegance.

Hmm these are quite elegant looking vessels. I was wondering if you could produce more of them?

I like the fact that the vessels have a stardestroyer-like design to them. It has been quite awhile since I have updated my profile, due to the fact I do not have a scanner to scan my work onto. I have designed many ships, including a top view and side view of the Gladius Destroyer. I do not have then colored yet.

However I will keep, updating my artwork, and then send it to my current profile.

There are a few other starship designs roaming around here, and there should be a new ship design production some day down the road. Do you mean to say you've done a design of 'my' gladius destroyer somewhere? I'd very much like to see it!

Ambitious endeavor you have stated on your gallery. Good luck.

I just wet myself with both glee and terror at once. That thing is SCARY. Where can I find that original in the back ground?
