Hello Military Capital ship fans, Im opening this threat for a medium side project in order to find a new "Frigate Concept". Of course, the only thing I can do here is making suggestions and collecting feedback with a little hope that CIG will take note of it and maybe consider it or parts of the ideas. Since im a mechanical design engineer for production machines, I cannot deliver a polished concept like a real CIG concept developer but I can try at least blocking it out in CAD with some rendering pictures. Lets Start: Step 1 - Why: I was feeling that we need another frigate and since RSI & AEGIS already have a lot of nice military cap ship stuff available, I was feeling ANVIL would be a good brand for it. In comparison to the Idris, it need to make sense to have another frigate which brings us to ... Step 2 - Focus / Difference: The Idris has a focus on frontal engagement with fighter support like a minicarrier + a Railgun. To keep things in balance and unique, the railgun is refeatured by S9 torpedos and the carrier feature by an electronic warfare suite that is able to cripple sensors and other subsystems to give that torps a chance to hit. That paired with a more classical broadside engagement configuration like a mini battleship which also fit the bulkier Anvil design. Step 3 - Role definition: Electronic Warfare Frigate Step 4 - Design Brief: Exterior Features: - Crew 20 - Length 255m - Width 140m (front 60m) - Height 55m - XL Hangar fit Engines: - 6x Main - 6x VTOL (2 rotational mains) - 2x Retro - 12x Maneuver Access: - Crew Lift (4ppl) - Sealed Cargo Lift Pod with Ramp - Hangar Roof folding sides - Dedicated Pisces Dock Weaponry: - 1x Front Dish Advanced Long Range Sensor (Manned) - 2x Side Hacking Equip (Remote) - 2x Size4 Dual (Manned) - 2x Size5 Dual (Manned) - 1x Size5 Quad (Manned) - 3x Size7 Dual (Manned) - 1x Size8 Dual (Manned) - 2+2x Side Size9 Tubes (Rotary sys) Cargo: - 750 SCU Deck 1 Operations: - Bridge - Captains Room - EWAR Stations - Turret Stations - Pisces Dock - ESC-Pods Deck 2 Flight Deck: - Hangar - XO Room - Briefing Room - Drone Room - Pilots Rdy Room Deck 3 Habitation: - Rest Area - Crewquarters - Messhall - Medbay - Hatch + EVA Locker - ESC-Pods Deck 4 Technical: - Gravity Generator - Torpedo Room - Repair Room - Engineering lvl2 - Cargo lvl2 Deck 5 Cargo: - Engineering lvl1 - Cargo lvl1 - Armory / Garage - 3x Brig (Separate) - Small Hatch Step 5 - Initial scetches (WIP) ...still working...Greets from Germany
