Venture Class Battleship

Description
After being asked to create a battleship many times, here it is. The Venture is a massive battleship using exclusively APS for combat. I tried to create a ship that was as battleship like as possible while still being balanced with my faction.

The Venture is armed with four 500mm four barreled APS guns firing sabot and HP shells, 8 secondary HP-Flak AA guns (much less realistic, but I wanted at least decent missile defense without LAMS or interceptor spam) 6 four barrel AP guns (that look like AA guns) and 4 more medium AP guns alongside a ton of simple weapons.

The Venture boasts a decent top speed for it's size and has defensive shielding and smoke alongside a few tiny interceptor turrets on the back. It also has a substantial anti-torpedo system as well. Even with all this, the venture relies heavily on it's strong armor to stay alive.

I've put in quite a few interesting built in weaknesses on this craft, so in order to compensate, I've left some extra ammo capacity to make retrofitting for practical use much easier.

As always, any critique, questions, criticism or comments are appreciated. I hope you all enjoy the ship!



Note: Although the next thing published will likely be the planet (if I can figure out how to use it), I'm considering adding to the aesthetics of this ship at some point in the future. Also, if this does well I may make another battleship for the faction (albeit quite a bit smaller).

I like your BBs, this and the Victory. They are worthy oponents for my BBs. The shields and the Railguns make them a bit cheese, as I dont use thoose on my "realistic" ships. But apart from this, I very much enjoy fighting your ships. :)

Generally I try to keep technology more time appropriate with less or no missiles or by excluding lams on craft meant to be older

I try to keep things relatively current for timing, I usually try to make things that could be in service now, but the battleship was so requested I decided to post it

does you custom faction have an age mechanic?

you seem to have ships from WW2, cold war and then new mellienium missile ships.

I think I will have to use some of these designs for my navy. If you go into ground designs I will probably use those as well. I just wish I could find a realistically sized tank.

Thanks, I'm excited to actually make the campaign, I have quite a few ships still planned before release though. I'm glad you're excited for the faction!

I look forward to seeing how this faction comes out. All your ships look great.
