NAVAL PATROL AND SHIP TO SHIP COMBAT VESSEL - With drone attack/defence system.

Description
Continuing with my sci-fi realism theme, this is my favorite work to date.
I have designed it with programmable blocks in mind so most of the functionality is just aesthetic at the moment.

The Vessel is equiped with:

8 heavy defence drones (part of defensive grid or satelite system around ship)
6 hunter killer attack drones (CAUTION, EXPLOSIVE PAYLOAD)
9 hunter killer attack support drones
11 anti-fighter defence drones (defence grid)
15 hostile missile decoy drones (defence grid)

16 maned fighters
4 unarmored
8 light armor
4 heavy armor


The drone system is superfluous at the moment, but when programmable blocks come in the system will function as such:

-Ship gattling turrets focus on incoming missiles and fighters

-Heavy defence drones form inner ring of defence grid shooting down incoming missiles

-Hostile missle decoy drones form an outer ring of constant movement closest to enemy capital ship but never directly between enemy ship and main vessel. This ensures enemy missiles go wide and most will miss decoys due to small profile and movement pattern.

-Anti fighter defence drones will stay within adefined bubble around ship engauging enemy fighters only.

-Hunter killer attack drones will focus fire on enemy capital ship, primarily weapons systems. Equiped with explosive payload for kamakaze if effectiveness is impaired by damage.

-Hunter killer attack support drones escort and protect thier more heavily armored counterparts in attack formation.


Obviously all functionality will rely on factions and programmable blocks. Can't wait for that update!!

Let me know what you think!! Rate and all that stuff if you want.

Thanks guys!

Khell3770: Yeah, I thought about making the armor sections detatchable but connectors weren't operational when I started this particular project and when they did come about I was focused on other areas.

typhoonoftempest: Oooooh yeah man, can't wait for that programmable block update!

Mike343434: I've never heard of star conflict my man, but a little googling shows some startling similarities. But nope, this one was an out of my brain original.

Ahh the Mealstrom from Star Conflict :)

Such a wonderful design you have going! Drone boats should be a very powerful tool when SE hits its full potential

I just finished checking this ship out in game and I have to say, both of these large ships and all the small ships are extremely well done and thought out. I especially liked the skeletonized interior design of the larger ship with the armor attached in segments. Not a complaint but a suggestion is to make the armor segments attach with merge blocks and connectors to feed the guns, that way when a section gets to extremely damaged it can just be replaced with a fresh section, or it could be removed to more easily access internal sections for repairs. Again, LOVE THESE SHIPS! Great work and I'm gonna start watching for more of your designs. Thanks allot.
