Description
HERE'S A BEAUTY SHOT OF THE THUNDEROUS WARSPITE CLASS BATTLESHIP.SHE IS THE STRONGEST AND MOST FEARED THROUGHOUT THE GALAXY.
HER MULTI ANGLED GUN DECKS GIVES HER TOTAL DOMINANCE OVER ANY BATTLE IN ANY THEATER OF WAR.
THE EBF (EARTH BATTLE FLEET) NAME THEIR CLASS OF VESSELS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF BATTLESHIPS.
1. WARSPITE...............BATTLESHIP CLASS.
2. ARK ROYAL..............CARRIER CLASS.
3. DAUNTLESS............HUNTER DESTROYER CLASS.
REFIT SPECS ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
1. New skin
2. New triple coned vectoring and breaking thrusters.
3. New grill components between every segment.
The redesign journey from start to finish has been long but rewarding.
This will be my last and final refit to the Warspite and i am very happy with the final result.
Here's the original design

There are some holes there were you could fit more guns, soldier!

Looks like the incarnation of power. I like this expression. Many sci-fi warships that I saw before just didn't look powerful enough. Good work!

Thank you very much, yes exactly what i was going for here, when a warship is a few kilometers and carries tons of visible fire power a show of strength is all that's needed.
Here's another intimidation shot for you.

hay man, I just found a funny nick name the crews of this space HK would called it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And the name is..........?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like a deadly overdose of ammo he he he.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, I meant more like the shape of the ship. because to bring all the forward and rearward guns to bare on a enemy ship
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes i see a like pill capsule, that's a new one.
Well it has been likened to a flying cactus and a sea cucumber.
Because of it's zeppelin shape it does have a very organic look.
The original inspiration came from a hand Grenade, it was flipped it on it's side and stretched out, the trigger and pin was removed and the basic template was ready to work on.

Nice, say what are the caliber of thus navy M.A.C's. I can make a educated guess that the heavy caliber M.A.C's are 22in/ 558.8 MM shells?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well as i said i'm not good at this, so i can only tell you i only simple terms.
The main gun barrel is around 2.05 meters high, so each shell would the equivalent of say an SUV.
The secondary gun barrel is roughly one meter high, the shell would have to be like a big oil drum.
Lol. i hope this answers something for you.
ps. if you want a have a proper chat why not send me a note

Hmm, well i'm not a guy who works out all the physics in engine drive specs, but i can tell you what i know.
This is a central core ship.
The ship is constructed like a giant stretched onion, the multi deck levels are like the various onion skins with the power core in the middle.
All this can be relalised when looking at the ships front, from the multi deck windows to the tip of the core in the center.
I think in this case you probably know more than me, i would hazard a guess and say yes to gyro-gravity.
What would you suggest?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm not expect ether just a interest into space submarines. And when I see the HK I think it ether a gyro-gravity ship we're it spins to create gravity or it's a early artificial gravity ship we're the gravity pulls in all directions to a central point.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok i get it now, no the Warspite does not have Gyro-gravity.
Rather there is zero G and the crew walk around with magnetic boots.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nice, are the suits magnetic as well to simulate gravity.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how do you think this HK would do against a imperial II class star destroy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well we could talk about gns first, because more guns means more chance of destroying your enemy faster.
The Imperial Star Destroyer has in all 120 weapons to bare.
The EBF Warspite has in all 228 weapons to bare.
The Star Destroyer has 8 main guns.
The Warspite has 48 main guns.
The Star destroyer has a major weak spots including the the twin shield domes and bridge
The warspite has no weak spots.
With these facts i would say that the Star Destroyer would be easy prey for the Warspite
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
does the warspite have energy based weapons or kinetic based weapons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well no, i went back to basics, cannon shells missiles bullets and no shields, kind of like in BattleStar Galactica.
I was getting tired of lasers and energy bla bla so i was thinking about the classic WWII battle ships etc.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's cool, say I have an idea for one last refit for the Warspite. okay imperial II star destroyer uses plasma based energy with their ships firing a plasma lance or plasma L.A.S.E.R beam so create a powerful electromagnetic field around the ship's outer hull to create a force field to deflect and/or absorbed a plasma shot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that actually is a closer to becoming a reality then you then you think, it's a exhalent idea for man made gravity great job.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WOW! The only way to defeat her...is to work on her, on her side.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok good point.
If you're talking about the trenches between the eight decks, then i you might be right, however getting up that close would be very difficult and you would loose many fighters, you could try a large swarm of fighters in the hope that a few might get through.
You know, "there's a small thermal exhaust port right bellow the main port" he he he

Sweet Jesus thats a shitload of guns. And the arrangement seems to allow all guns on any side facing the enemy to fire. Very cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks man.
She was designed for just that reason, she can stand alone in the vacuum of space and engage the enemy on every angle plus there are no vulnerable spots over the hull, as far as know there no other ships like it.
City carpet sweeping is her speciality, extreme low altitude bombardment is achieved by way of her three lower gun decks, while the other five can take out any ships or fighters with great ease.
These battle giants have one achilles heel, there are no shields, good luck if you can get close enough without being obliterated by her numerous blazing guns.

Sounds like a beast of a vessel. I like it.

Now this is my kind of warship. Battle capabilities across almost all vectors with no obvious blind spots.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you not everybody gets this.
It was designed to be the ultimate space warship.
This ship can stand stationary and pick targets in every direction simultaneously, Perfect in any theater of war especially in the vacuum of of space.
The design was simple, take the basic shape of a WWII hand grenade stretch it and stick guns on every segment and add grill detail in between.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If it were me, I'd add anti-fighter or anti-missile PDCs in between each segment on the grill details. Maybe two quad-gun AA ball turrets per section. At the mid-ship sections, I'd also add in some broad side torpedo launch tubes as well as a center-line heavy mac-cannon for dreadnought or planet busting. But, thats if it was me. Our ships, they are never truly done, no matter what we say. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well my friend, let me give you some stats on the various weapon systems.
1. Main quad guns.........48
2. AA Quad guns...........116
3. Rocket launchers.......72
4. city nukes.................128 (not visible in picture)
5. Fighter bays...............8 (not visible in picture)
As for protecting anntenors and grill etc i don't think anything could get close enough to do any damage.
The Warspite is basically a flying gun platform and is a classic case of "more is more"
I'm not sure that it's possible to cram in any more guns around the ship, of cause it's very easy to get carried away with guns, the original Jupiter has already been criticized as being "way over the top"
The Warspite is by far my fave warship and so far i have not seen any other ship that remotely comes close, i'm so glad that you are enjoying it too.

"No such thing as Overkill, just shut up and reload." My general philosophy on warship designs.

Thank you so much
It's been a work in progress off and on for five years now.
Setting a spaceship against a plain star field is actually a little boring because space is dull and black, when set against a Planet, Moons, or city etc you get a much better sense of scale and added color.
I also like to add a little hint of background information in or around the model, this i hope will pull the viewer closer into the scene.

Very happy with the results, I think before your redesign, I didn't exactly ignore it in favor of the Saturn, but this decidedly wins out over that one. Both nice designs, this one looks 'meaner', while at the same time set in a beautiful background that brings the word majestic to mind.
