Post Posted: 08-26-2005 09:17 PM Post subject: KDF B-10 Heavy Transport concept WIP...

Ok, as many of you know, the B-10 is a TMP/early TNG era battleship from the Klingons. After numerous upgrades, they were decommisioned in the late TNG period...only to be ressurected with a refit to serve as the Empire's newest heavy transport.

I contend that the Neghvar was meant to replace the B-10, is slightly smaller, faster and better armed/armored. The original B-10 was similar in appearance to an overblown D-7, and with refits began to take the look of the modern Neghvar, from which the Neghvar was born.

So, this should would have some distant, but older, simularities to the Neg. It would be slightly larger, MUCH slower (think Warp 2.5 max speed) and have a huge upgrade on the armor, making it even more lethargic and UGLY, which was my intent.

I decided to go in the other direction, and make this ship very bulky to represent it's age. Note how the sensor pod is similar to the Neg, but has the side boxes of the D-7. Note also how the bridge is built into the top module and heavilly armored (originally it looked more like the D-7 blisters) and the more roundish hull modules. Basically this ship bristles with boxes as systems were upgraded.

The B-10 is a powerful but slow transport. It is designed to have maximum survivability, and though it has a decent punch for its role, it is not designed to fight one on one. Menuverability is almost non-existant, and this ship is lucky if it reaches one-quarter impulse at max speed.

But it is not that large...certainly the Conqueror is much larger. So why the slowness of the ship? Mass.

This ship has a rediculous amount of armor, so much so that nothing short of a capital starship will even put a dent in it. It has three times the armor of the Neghvar, armor equal to the Conqueror at almost half it's size with only two older warp engines. AND the engines are mounted under the wings instead of at the wingtips, increasing shield output but lowering warp speed even further.

This ship rarely operates alone, and requires a small crew. Usually it is in a defensive fleet of 9 other transports, including 2 Nethaks, and an escort force of 5 birds of prey.

At any rate, here is my work sofar. My intention, as mentioned above, was to make this ship very bulky and ugly....tell me what you think sofar.

Yeah what they said!! You have an incredible amount of detail there. This must weigh heavy in the polygon department!?

Sounds like one of the most useless ships ever. Fair enough it has high armour, but the low speed, the 9 strong escort, the small crew. Seems as if it's only purpose is to remain in a battle for as long as possible without actually doing anything.

Well, it is only a transport Armondikov.

No, it is not much use in a battle. The idea is that it is designed to survive an attack and still get the supplies to where they are needed. The idea is that a player would not pilot this ship unless they want an extreme challenge. Otherwise it is a tough nut to crack if you get convoy raiding duty as the Breen.

The sole purpose of a transport is to get commodities to their destinations. The faster a transport is, the more successful it will be. Thus a transport should be fast (at warp, anyway), not slow.

It's a flawed concept, but a very cool-looking ship, nonetheless.

well, i think it depends on what its delivering. if it carries medicine or something like that, it should be quicker than a transport carrying steel or latinum

The speed of transports are negligable providing they're constant. Its the canal boat theory. Even if it takes weeks to travel, if you've got them leaving every few hours, they'll be arriving every few hours.

Plus, when they're that slow, any disruption to the supply won't be felt at the other end for a while, giving you time to prepare for a shortage of supplies.

How about an assault transport as an official designation (seeing as its a klingon), or perhaps a heavy troop transport.

Good design though. Very chunky.

Yeah maybe make the nose 'wings' higher because they look more like wings that actuall usefull parts of the ship.
