(Updates) UNSA ships pt 3
- Edited
Hello, It has been a while since I posted but I felt like sharing a bunch of ships with you people.
New stations
It has been forever but I have finally started designing more stations.
- UNSA Electro Turret station
This UNSA Electro Turret station is able to disable sub systems like FTL drives or shields in a quick barrage of energy projectiles, As they do little hull damage they are reserved for checkpoints where any suspicious vessels can be disabled with little damage.
- Private Outpost Station
This ring station is a common model used by trade outposts as well as orbital facilities such as the repainted Earth Travel station of the same shape. The station has 4 main airlocks to which vessels can dock. Inside the docking ring the command centre and observation deck manages ships docking at the station as well as coordinating the array of turrets onboard.
- Private Sentry Station
The Private Sentry Station model can often be found within proximity of any major space facility that is not ran by the UNSA. The sentry station can be used as an extra line of defence against hostile vessels for stations further outside of the more secure inner territories surrounding Earth and the other terraformed worlds of the solar system.
New Public Transport and private ships
Places like Mars, Earth, Europa and Lunar are known for their flashy space traffic. Most new spaceship models have not yet reached the further expanse of the UNSA and so the inner systems get to enjoy their fancy space ships while most far out colonies have decade old vessels.
A flashy FTL capable personal transport
Sleek sports vessel
Fancy interplanetary shuttle capable of in atmosphere flight.
Cool FTL capable transport
Nice space yacht
The other public transport ships.
While there are many new flashy personal ships there are also new Earth transport vessels.
Move Transport Shuttle
UN Public use passenger shuttle
New Security fleet
In my UNSA saves I thought it looked a bit weird having military vessels all over the place. It looked really militarised and horrible, So I made a UNSA security fleet to take stress off of the military fleet and allow it to do more border patrols and what while the new security fleet takes over on customs and planetary security.
UNSF Corvettes are small torpedo patrol ships that will often travel in pairs or groups, sometimes acting as customs enforcement or taking on small wanted vessels. Their low cost and small size make them a cost efficient way of replacing the UNSA naval escorts that once took on this role.
UNSF Destroyers are reserved for encounters with larger hostile vessels, such as armed cargo scouts or small cruisers. They can be found in the place of a small fleet of corvette sized ships at some UNSA stations.
Unlike the UNSA Navy, UNSF security makes use of drone ships. In order for these ships to work a drone control vessel needs to be nearby. This acts as a weakness though, as when the control vessel is destroyed, any drone ships will start to shutdown after a few minutes with no more commands.
UNSF drones are small swarm ships that can be used to overpower fighters and even small cargo ships with some experience. Without a small number of these ships, the individual swarm vessel is extremely vulnerable.
UNSF dropships and shuttles are used to land security officers on stations or dock with ships. While dropships operate in space, the shuttles can be used in atmosphere.
UNSF Patrol ships are extremely well armed destroyers used to patrol systems of high crime as a deterrence. These ships will often fly with dropships and transports to arrest criminals and chase wanted ships.
the UNSF transport is used to carry prisoners to penal colonies and prison stations. It is unarmed, meaning that it often has a drone escort.
More military ships
Old European space administration ships operate under the UNSA in some of the outer colonies where large ships are needed at a low cost. While the ESA vessels are old, They possess a similar level of technology to the modern vessels, still making them useful in a defence role.
Large private Martian vessels operate under the UNSA, taking over in security matters above Mars. As mars is a similarly populated planet to Earth, It felt like they deserved their own fleet.
This older Mars ship was used before being phased out for the much larger Martian cruisers used now.
UNSA High Intensity Beam Emitter ships are large, advanced battleships that have a main HIBE gun which fires a wide beam of plasma at ships. The damage from this beam can bypass shields and armour, destroying any smaller cruisers completely while severely damaging larger vessels.
New Cargo ships
Civilian cargo ships are used much more frequently in outer territories where there are less UNSA cargo vessels to supply colonies.
These small single container transports are used to supply small UNIS habitat stations and refineries.
This larger 3 module passenger transport is used to ship larger amounts of cargo over a longer distance.
This heavily armed cargo transport carries it's goods within protected internal chambers.
This small cargo shuttle can carry limited amounts of ores and liquids within it's two small storage modules.
Union cargo vessels are large private ships which travel between systems, selling goods. These vessels have long range FTL capabilities as well as space for 16 cargo containers, Making it one of the largest volume cargo ships around.
Mandate vessels operate outside of UNSA space, in their own couple of systems. Because of this they make use of their own large cargo vessels.
this is a smaller mandate cargo vessel.
SC ships are privately owned but still operate within UN space.
This old ship model is a private cargo vessel used back when the outer systems were being colonised. These ships would travel with colony ships, transferring resources to new colony worlds.
The Adami Star Transport is currently the only carrier ship model operating in space that isn't a military prototype, These large, luxurious cruisers act as car ferries, allowing sub-light ships and smaller transports to get around. I might make some military carriers soon if I can be bothered
I'll do more later
I am bored now
I've made new cargo ships!
Private FTL fuel ships supply systems with fuel from production facilities. With the increase in vessels that use the new FTL drives it became necessary to have ships transport fuel so that systems didn't run out before production stations could be built.
An older model of a UN cargo ship, Which was used during the colonisation of the outer solar systems.
A Medical frigate which treats patients and carries medical supplies to colonies.
the IPPT Mk2 is a newer model of the older, bulkier IPPT model.
Customs vessels can be found around stations where they check ships for illegal or stolen goods.
More later
Still bored
New UNSA ships
The UNSS can rarely be found anymore, However ship collectors and old companies still use them. They have no weapons, Limited communications and make use of an outdated ion drive. The vessels have however been fitted with two forward pods which make the ship FTL capable.
This UN transport was one of the first ships its size to be fitted with such a large array of weapons. Because of their reliable technology they can still be found in modern convoys.
Unlike most of the ships on this page, this new UNSA military vessel is one of the most advanced in service. Such vessels make use of new, Improved long range FTL drives which can carry them to new areas of the interstellar neighbourhood. These UNSA exploration ships show the movement from a militaristic space authority to a more scientific one as security vessels and cargo ships become more commonly seen in public hands than the UN's
One of the latest UNSA combat models, This UNSA heavy escort is used to protect UNSA stations as well as scientific, diplomatic or trade convoys. This ship is the first model to be fitted with advanced plasma cannons which fire blue energy discharges rather than the older, less efficient cannons which fired more volatile projectiles that were harder to safely discharge and did less damage to armour. These less efficient projectiles are used on all older models and have a signature red glow.
The new UNSA transport is a more balanced answer to the two current extremes of transports serving in the UNSA. There are the larger, heavily armed heavy transports
(This)
And the much smaller, Lightly armed light transports
(This)
The new medium transport can take over the roles of both transports, being cheaper than the heavy transport while still being able to defend itself. As there are no current conflicts excluding the tensions between the UNSA and Mandate on their borders
(Mandate cargo ship and massive UNSA destroyer travel along the border)
this is a more sensible change to the past issues with transports in the fleet.
Also enjoy this other screenshot of some Mandate vessels.
There will be more later
But right now I am tired
New UNSA ships
UNSA Battlecruiser making use of advanced turrets and long range FTL.
Advanced, Long range Corvette
UNSO rescue vessel
UNSO science vessel
UNSA Merchant vessels carry cargo and sell them to outer colonies
Right now I can't be bothered
later as always.
Okay title sorted
StarTrek mods?
