Teasing Intrepid

Listen up, you primitive screw heads!

So just for giggles, I did a series of bobby fights between my old clunky Constitution, and my newer more elegant Constitution with the focused high-tech weaponry.   The result was that the Older ship won 75% of the fights.... decisively despite the newer weapons design and 25(!!!) turrets on the newer ship.

I totally underestimated the effectiveness of raw, brute-force.  Ever seen the final fight in Rob-roy?  Rapier vs Claymore?  Yeah that.  That's what the fight was like.  So let's deconstruct both systems and see if we can't learn something.  I think what I need is a good bastard sword.

Star Trek: Federation Orbital Shipyard

This Shipyard is not specifically Canon, but Close.  It's a combination of designs.  The small starbase bolted to the side of the structure is lifted directly from the "Regula 1" station and the "Space Office Complex" from "The Motion Picture".   I figured if Starfleet was going to re-use the design once, they probably weren't going to stop there.

The base itself is protected by six turrets that should be sufficient to fend off any random pirates.  A small shuttle bay houses a repair shuttle and a work-bee.  The base sports a store-unit and plenty of un-used deck-space for housing or factories.

The cradle is scaled to handle a Constitution class ship with  significant room to spare.  Observation modules along the side provide additional floor space, or could easily be converted for additional shielding or turret mount points for use in hostile sectors

This sector export comes with the Constitution shown here.    You will probably want to move the docking buoy  for different ships.

Teasing the Current Build

Almost done with the mid-sized space-drydock.
