Early WIP: epic space battleship-G.I.S.F.S EPIC

[RoC77]

60 studs long and about 30 studs wide would be frigate,

Ok, that is unrealisticly wide, I have a SHIP and it's not even that wide, and that would make a frigate look like a flying rectangle! If I were committed to building a frigate with that much material, I might as well make it into a light destroyer.....

hmmm

200 studs long and heavy weapons would be battle-ship
100 studs long would be destroyer.
60 studs long and about 30 studs wide would be frigate,
10-14 studs wide would be sloop-of-war.
battle-ships can have a small hanger that can house a sloop or group of fighters.

carriers would be lightly armed with weapon size being limited to half its size rateing, and should be able to hold at least one or a group of swarmers (small fighters designed to fit in tiny spaces)
there size would be rated by
"small"(frigate sized-would be made up of about half hanger-bay)
"median" (destroyer sized)
"large" ("battle-ship" sized-althought battle-ships can start with a hanger they can only have one, a large carrier is specialised and should have a main hanger capable of holding a frigate of small carrier.)

the advantage of it being minifigure scale is the ability to launch raiding partys and repairs robots would probelly be easyer to make rules for.

Much better .

No thanks, I doubt anyone would be willing to build a bunch of 100+ stud microspace ships.

actually i have 2 already with a third on the way

HODGEPODGE- Destoryer/carrier hybrid (systems monitor)
RANCID FISH- Fleet tender/colier -bording cutting up other ships

third on the way will be frigate class

did some build testing on the frigate, 16 wide is the same the boat hull poops(at least the ones i got from the viking ship) and you can fit quite a bit in.
added a new class, same size as battle-ship, but only one weapon.

star-destroyer: 200 studs long and only one large mega weapon.
battle-ship: 200 studs long and heavy weapons.
destroyer: 100 studs long.
frigate: 60 studs long and about 16 studs wide would be frigate,
sloop-of-war:10-14 studs wide would be sloop-of-war.

battle-ships can have a small hanger that can house a sloop or group of fighters without haveing to be a carrier.

carriers would be lightly armed with weapon size being limited to half its size rateing, and should be able to hold at least one or a group of swarmers (small fighters designed to fit in tiny spaces)
there size would be rated by
"small"(frigate sized-would be made up of about half hanger-bay)
"median" (destroyer sized)
"large" ("battle-ship" sized-althought battle-ships can start with a hanger they can only have one, a large carrier is specialised and should have a main hanger capable of holding a frigate of small carrier.)

this is turning into a rule set, ill make a new thread
