Greetings all.
For this weeks update I am proud to present one of the more useful additions to any Xin commander's arsenal: the Warmaster class capital ship.
While all Xin ships possess a degree of sentience, the Warmaster is unique in that it has a much more developed neural structure than other ships, even capitals. This enables it to perform complex calculations and structured reasoning necessary to coordinate entire fleets, regardless of their size, thus increasing their combat effectiveness beyond what they would be able to achieve on their own.
This is made possible by the Warmasters unique sensory apparatus, which is not present on other capitals - its nine wide-spectrum sensory blisters, protected from the rigors of hard vacuum and radiation by mirror-like membranes mimic those found on the Scout Drones, but are much larger in size and an order of magnitude more effective. This allows the Warmaster to sense not only from infrared to ultraviolet radioation, but also magnetic disturbanced (such as generated by planets, ships etc.) and even gravitational fluctuations.
In other words, nothing can hide from its gaze.
The information thus gathered can be efficiently distributed by the Warmaster's ten high-yield communication tendrils, allowing it to simultaniously communicate with every ship in the fleet.
Last but not least - while the Warmaster is not the most powerful ship in the fleet, it is by no means defenseless. Not only can it utilize its eight gravity well generators to prevent enemy fleets from jumping into phase space, it can also use those same generators to emit powerful streams of directed protons, which serve as excellent short-range defense.
For larger targets, and longer ranges, the Warmaster uses eight large caliber guided plasma ejectors located on the side bulges. This, in addition to the customary powerful shielding and think organic armor makes the Warmaster a force to be reckoned with on any battlefield.
Looking awesome comrade!
I like the design, looks very nice.
amazing...
Glad you like the update guys! And I must say I'm glad I went with the vertical design (I had another variation where its more horizontal), because there's just something about the Xin fleets with so many vertical ship designs involved, at least to my eye.
Plus, it can shoot better. ;)
ooh cool, if it can see everything you should a cloaked ships as a counter
It wouldnt help againist the gravitational sensors. But lowering all the functions of a ship and then phasing it out could hide it from gravitational sensors while the changes in the magnetic sensor arrays would be very small to detect....
