[HullTec] Confederation Class Dreadnought

Description
DESCRIPTION

- Faction: Stellar Confederation
- Class: Flagship / Dreadnought

- 56.000 PCU
- 19.000 Blocks
- Moon Ready

The Confederation Class is the Flagship of the Interstellar Confederation. IT's a unique battleship. There's no second ship of this class in the fleet. With it's heavy battle cannons and the two large fly-through-hangars the Confederation Class is the most dangerous ship of the fleet. One hangar can fit several fighters. Even a Silverfield Gunboat fits in.

DESIGN
I wanted this ship to resemble a classic naval dreadnought from the side like the Bismarck or the Yamato. The ship is very long (longer than my Greyhold Class Carrier). The ship becomes higher toward the bridge. There are heavy ship cannons facing to the front and the rear, just like on old naval battleships.

Despite being quite different to my other warships, there are enough similarities to recognize the ship as a part of my standard fleet. For example the large "wings" in the sides and the bridge are very similar to the ones on my Greyhold/Twinport class capital ships.

LOADOUT

- ion thrusters + some hydro thrusters
- 12x hydrogen tanks (for refueling fighters and other ships)
- lots of o2/h2 generators
- 8x large reactor
- 19x jump drive (can jump over 3km without mods)
- cryo chambers
- medical rooms
- refineries, assemblers, modules etc.
- lots of different lcd displays with detailed information about your ship
- etc..

HANGAR
You can open and close the hangar by using the button panels in the hangar or the control station in the hangar control room (just follow the signs).

- whenever you start the opening sequence, the hangar will first depressurize for 10 seconds, before the hatch opens.
- opening sequence is indicated by blinking orange warning lights

Mods & Scripts
(thanks to all the mod- and script creators. I love you guys!)
Mods: "Battle Cannons and Turrets DX11" (no other mods used.)

WIP
The ship is quite finished but I always tend to upgrade/fix my ships from time to time. There's some empty space in the ship. Maybe I can fill it somehow.

ENJOY!

the weapon mod might be outdated or you are using other weapon mods that are interfering with the cannon mod. I have a "fixed" version of the battlecannon mod that I made myself, but it is a few years old now so I can't guarantee that it works: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2399171829

Looks cool , I loved the British Dreadnoughts and espescially when they travelled in packs, like you describded them getting wider and you have followed that. If the fire power is even 50% of the real thing they are deadly. Love your work mate.

modded guns that are weaker than rotor turrets? no way

Oh let's see. The Twinport Destroyer has a hangar bay, too. (There are two versions. One with airtight hangar and one with blast door hangar).
Also the Europa Class Carrier should be somewhere between the Yllcaster and the Greyhold.
If you just need a small hangar and some firepower, you could take a look at the Arkville Cruiser.
Thank you for your comments.

sorry not the greyhold, forgot it was a larger PCU than the dreadnought

I love this ship, but need something a bit smaller, what's stronger than the Yllcaster but smaller than the dreadnought? Anything in between the Greyhold and this one?

Also your UCU system is amazing.

There's no shipyard, yet. I would need lots and lots of pistons and welders for this, I guess ^^

Can't wait to build this in survival. Does the confederation have a shipyard in which these are built? Definitely gonna have to make one lol.

Thanks for all the awesome ships you've made!
