Description
A missile frigate, a small fast hull design to drop in, open up and unload about 448 missiles in one launch... meant to overwhelm the enemy ships defense systems, it would zip in and out till it ran out of missiles...Copyright 2009-2011 Dark Nova Games

That is a VERY scary piece of kit!!
Are the missiles reloadable or are the systems one shot?

its a cash and carry, it can't be reloaded internally, so its a one shot sytem. it would need to go to a cargo ship or station to get reloaded, there is simply not enough space internally to store spares.. or enough spares to fire a 2nd barrage.. let alone the risk of hauling more then whats ready to fire... the losses would... be expensive...

WOW!!! This is a frightening weapon system; you have pointed out its flaw but that is not just good, its common sense.
Frightening, if all them missiles went up...4th July would look rather quiet in comparrison!!
It reminds me of missile artillery used in WW2, where one can shower lots of ordnance on a target but the reload rate if any is slow. Consequences - I like the fact you thought that.
Also, this is such a great design, the effort of intelligence in this and other works you have done is joy; most other artists I have seen are flashier, and " visually better" but you have a great technical skill, restraint, thought and sense which makes viewing your works a delight.
You should be in the movie or games industry - you sir are a talent!!

Thanks very much, and of course this is the smaller of the missile carriers, it only has to survive long enough to release the payload. A missile barrage that will make any Macross fan blush
I do try to make the designs make some kinda sense... too many people draw hollow eye candy art that makes no practical sense...Β

its only a few thousand missile to reload all the time...

What if you made a purpose-built reloading system that reloaded the pods with racks of missiles that simply swung into the pods?

That's for a different design I have in my head

lol...we'll shove a few missiles out of the airlocks... that should bring the numbers up a little better...

would be perfect as a Caldari ship in EVE Online

I like it, that would be an awesome blockade ship. I like the design of the missile pods, and the secondary weapons. this would be a great "boss" ship too.

Thanks, its a smaller ship, but its made to really ruin someones day... those pods hold 112 missiles...i would hate to fight this thing...

So long as the recoil doesn't throw it out of place, I could see some very epically-sized explosions from this. Definitely has that Macross vibe to it, as Bamboo-Learning mentioned below.

Its space, The ship just has to fling the missile away by flipping its AG field, repelling the missile, and the missile motor can engage a few meters from the hull, so effectively no recoil...but if there was, thats why it has engines... to counter act such forces...

This one reminds me a lot of something from the Macross universe, good job.
