IanTech Myōkō (Experimental, No mods)
Design
Description
The Myōkō is a fast firing, heavy cruiser. Making use of the new missile compartment, it packs a heavy missile punch, with just the right barrages to get the maximum amount of missiles in the air at one moment, while still being cost efficient and space efficient. It packs a total of 10 small cannons, each capable of doing reasonable AP damage to enemy ships. The front of the ships is armed with 2, very well powered ion beams, with a cover armour and a personal shield to protect it, although it is susceptible to enemy missiles, as the front blocks PD. It also can travel at incredibly fast speeds, using the new thrusters, faster than most ships in the combined fleet (although the manoeuvrability is horrible). The ship contains four Command centres, each encased partly by armour. The ship designs, like most IanTech ships, use the idea of Compartments to its fullest advantage, sacrificing easily obtanable money (This is IanTech after all) for maximum efficiency. There are 5 types of compartment in this ship:
-The Ion beams: A highly manned, very well powered block for the Ion-beams
-The Cannon Section: A highly efficient cannon section, with 5 cannons each. It fires almost as quickly as it can.
-The Missile compartment V1: See above post.
-The Engine Block: A large block, taking up almost all of the ship, filled to the brim with high powered thrusters.
-Other Blocks: Small Blocks, with one reactor, very little people. Used either for isolated armoured command centres or vital shield systems
NOTE: THIS IS AN EARLIER, FLAWED DESIGN. WHILE YOU CAN IMPROVE IT, I AM ALREADY WORKING ON ITS SUCCESSOR, THE HAGURO, WITH MUCH BETTER CAPABILITIES
