Warship: Warship Design
built 262 days ago
Warship Design and Construction portion of the game has gotten a major overhaul. Players can now create designs using over 250 new upgrades including new aircraft and new weapons and seven different vessel types to work off of including American British and Japanese ship designs. Players can ... develop technology starting from the World War II era all the way to modern day technology and even hypothetical weaponry like railguns and plasma tech. Really handy when you get into those battles where it seems like the whole universe has decided to take on your meager little naval force.

Past issues have covered all facets of warship designs and types, with emphasis on the smaller, less-known navies and types, and related subjects. The newest types are covered as they appear, but naturally most articles deal with ships no longer in existence. Examples of subjects covered by articles or series are: The Spanish Navy of 1898; Heavy Cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy; H.M.S. Hood; articles covering past developments of the Soviet Navy and U.S. Navy; USS Joseph P. Kennedy. Jr.; USS Massachusetts and the Iowa versus the Yamato -- to name just a few.

[One] revolution in warship design began shortly after the turn of the century, when Britain launched the all-big-gun battleship Dreadnought in 1906. Powered by steam turbines, she was bigger, faster and more heavily gunned than all existing battleships, which she immediately rendered obsolete. She was rapidly followed by similar ships in other countries.

Measuring between one and two kilometers in length, the warship has the ability to directly phase in and out of hyperspace. Its weapons include a main beam weapon that can slice through nearly all other ship designs, a jumppoint destabilizer that can prevent enemy ships from fleeing, and a complement of drone fighters. This vessel uses organic technology which is deadly to human touch, essentially draining the life from the person who dares to touch the curious skin of the ship.
