Could I have been meaning ships of her tonnage/classification? Gee, maybe...

Especially considering there were ISD-derivatives in use at the time..

I probably won't be deploying the full Lost; realistically, outside of the magical duels that might occour between the Beast and the Senshi, the only way they would fall would be full on invasion from the Sixth Imperium.

Still, it's nice to reflect on having the power of gods.

My solution is simply to base a batteries of Anti-Ship Missiles
made from converted ISD Mark I hulks with the Bridge Tower
and City Structure removed in hidden locations in my solar system's
asteroid field.

Unfortunately, for some strange reason, they can't target anything less than 18 km in size :lol:

That's the best I can do without resorting to fanwanking.

As long as it's his trillion ship fleet of 50 km ships and not my 400~
ship fleet made out of a hodgepodge of ships from all over the galaxy,
I ain't complaining :twisted:

I dunno, I like the fact I deployed an Eclipse variant that remained a viable member of strike forces even during the Planetoid era.

Bah, magic has been a component of the STGODs for some time. Warlord Graeme's armies were primarily magic based; Brother Kynes's abilities might as well have been magic (subject to limitations depending on where he was).

The SKS very heavily used magitech/technomagic and possessed several absurdly powerful Magical Plot Devices.

You know me... If I really set my mind to it, a 20th level mage can take our an eclipse...

Imagine what I can wank up when not bound by the d20 system... Looking at thaat AWFUL ship... If forced to...

I dont know if I want to use a mgic using race... or a race of FREAKY powerful psionicists. The only real difference is HOW they lay waste to the universe...

Hrm...

did you know that Nitram was one of the few (semi) sane players in the
old STGOD? Others were much much worse...

*cough*

Asgerd-I

*cough*

(Basically imagine a 4,000km planetoid with an
armor belt 150km thick)

EDIT:

This kind of stuff is what I'd really like to avoid in this next STGOD,
something more realistic, than deploying 200,000 ships of all types
for a mere skirmish :shock:

Child's play for a few characters in the STGOD, but they are generally bound not to do things like that.

The rest of us mortals must content themselves with lesser feats.

It would be worse: there was the Asgerd-II deployed by the Sixth Imperium. Linkage

The 6I's fifth-rate sublight dreadnoughts were merely 900 meters long and could compare favourably with a 13500 meter SKS superdreadnought...

I don't think I managed to pull that off; the Royal Navy had far too many committments for that.

In their final incarnation, the Centerpoint II stations received seven-layer shield systems capable of handling multiple Death Star shots. This was mainly to counter Halite, since the C2s were the most prominent military targets in the UTR...

I'm glad I don't have to work with those stations anymore. They were serious pains to handle.

FOUND IT!

Image
The Phallus

OK, I introduce you to the Holy War vessel of Romulan Glory and Vengence, the RGV Phallus. A picture of the Phallus can be found Here

It is 50,000 miles long, armored the same way as my base (Quantum Crystaline, Neutronium and Ablative armor), except that instead of 30 meters thick it is 9 kilometers thick. Click Here for armor detail. The shields are 400 times stronger than the DSII's and are powered by a hypermatter-warpcore, a warp core fueled by hypermatter and anti-hypermatter, which is 50 miles high and puts out more power than 200 DSII reactors. (The shields can still be 400 times stronger, because not all the DSII's power would have gone to the shields, but all this cores power does.) Another HM-WC of similar size and power supplies power to the ship's weapons systems, and a third supplies the various engines and drives, along with general ship systems such as lighting, heating, replicators, gravity etc.

It has a galaxy-gun class hyperdrive, transwarp drive, QS drive, fold drive, and regular warp drive.

It is armed with 20 DSII class superlasers, and also a prototype "superphaser". (If a SL is a scaled up blaster, it should be possible to do the same with phaser tech) This has the advantage of NDFing a planet into nothing, so it does not leave evidence in the form of a debris field, the way a superlaser would. It has 3,000,000 turreted Defiant-type pulse phaser cannons, 1,000,000 HTLs, 3,000,000 MTLs, and 5,000,000 light turbolaser point defence guns. It also has 500,000 Galaxy-class phaser strips. It has 100,000 quantum torpedo tubes, and an equal number of heavy concussion missile tubes, and 50 nova bomb launchers.

In it's bays are a billion TIE avengers, a million Defiant-class starships, a Thousand ISD-IIs, and one Executor-class Super Star Destroyer.

To meet crewing demands, the huge hundreds-of-meters-long replicator pads have been fed the data on T-800 model Terminators, and are replicating tens of thosands of them at a go. The Terminators are of course higly intelligent, completely loyal, and perfect for crewing starships, fighters etc.

The Phallus is equiped with Romulan-style cloaking and phase- cloaking, and currently holds station in a nebula near the Sol system.

Only in a "last resort" situation, would the Phallus make a direct attack itself. The ships it contains and services do the work under normal circumstances.
