Dreadnought
role: mothership
length: 10 km
mass: 516.1 million metric tons
crew: 5600
power: 6 Mk. II Zero-point energy core
Engines: 8 warp nacelles/16 reactionless drives/jump engines
Speed: 70.000c/0.4c
duration: 48 months
weapons:
60 phased particle beam arrays.
152 12-barreled multi-launchers capable of launching ZPE missiles worth 150 megatons each or FD-1 Bee’s.
The ship carries 18,240 ZPE missiles and 1,824 Bee’s.
560 multidirectional lasers
40 twin plasma cannons
160 multibarreled decoy launchers carrying 12,800 decoys.
4 Ripper beam emitters facing forward and 1 Ripper beam emitters on either side.
defense: 20.7 meters of Astorium with multiple layers and polarisation and 7 Mk. II “Accumulator� shield generators.
Carries: 600 fighters, 200 'Alpha' dropships, 300 'Beta' dropships, 4 CW-3 'Battle Crabs', 2,500 CIS-W1 'Gladiators', 800 HT-1 'Dragons' and 20,000 marines.
Internal Dock: capable of handling 2 Saturn class battlecruisers, 6 Mars class destroyers or 20 gunboats.
Cost: 3.5 trillion USD
Manufacturer: The Imperial Docks Corporation in Arizona Nova.
This is the proposed flagship of the Wettic navy and it is a beast. She carries the same amount of soldiers and equipment as four Jupiter C battleships and almost as many fighters. Her defensive and offensive capabilities are even more awe inspiring and that is what this ship was designed to do. Not so much a flexible weapon as one that simply intimidates the enemy and hopefully make it surrender before firing a shot. But if anybody is foolish enough to take the Dreadnought on, she can take a lot and dish out even more.
She has a plethora of weapons and even carries 6 Ripper beam emitters of which 4 are located in the prongs on the front of the ship. Those prongs carry many of the weapons of the front section of the ship to make room for the fighters, dropships and the marines with their equipment that are all housed their. The bridge like structure between the prongs is actually the largest and most sophisticated Agatha sensor array in existence capable of scanning multiple sectors. The mid-section has one Ripper beam on either side and houses two of the ZPE cores along with the housing for the crew and the bridge.
The aft section houses the warp nacelles, reactionless drives and the jumpengines as well as four ZPE cores. These are all located in the aft prongs because the main body of this part of the ship is reserved for an unprecedented facility onboard a Wettic ship. An internal docking facility capable of servicing starships. Its not big enough to house anything longer then a kilometre but most Wettic ships aren’t that big. It is this capability more then any other that makes this ship the through heart of any battlefleet.
There are of course weaknesses in the design. For one, at sublight speeds she is slower then any other ship in the Wettic navy. Manoeuvrability is poor as can be expected from a ship this big and because of its size two shield generators were needed to cover the entire ship. These two shields meet at the midsection and it is there that shield strength drops to 50% even after being fully charged. The Agatha sensor array does have its own shielding so that the ship wouldn’t be blinded so easily but even then, the placing is rather precarious.

It relies on the 20.000 marines for security. A lot of the shipboard functions is being maintained by the AI and so the ship doesn't really need that many crew to function. It is also a means for cutting the cost of operating this monster, do you know how much even one sailor costs a year?

Way to few crew. My Orion class Destroyers have a crew of 10,000 and they're only two km long. The Colossus has 30,000, and it's only 6 km long.
Even with AI reducing the crew size by a lot (Explaing how my Chronos has a crew quite a bit smaller than the Colossus despite being bigger/better) your crew would still necesarily be huge. Much bigger than just 1,600.

I think you posted in the wrong thread 5CN. And you are right, Klonor, Dreadnought does have too few crew. Of course my ships always have a lot less crew then most others because we try to automate as much as possible. Quite a bit of the maintenance work is done by so-called 'Bugs'. Small robots controlled by the shipboard AI that do most of the repair work.
Fear me, if you dare!
