Starwarships: Talking Starships with Drachinifel: Part 3 Battleships, Battlecruisers & Prometheus
This week i am joined one more time by @Drachinifel to look at the ships of Star Trek. This time we are looking at the largest ships of them all, The mighty Battleships, and their more agile Battlecruiser counterparts, as well as a little ship called the prometheus which is actually 3 ships...
All this and more in this Weeks video!
1. Breakaway hulls.
2. Matsushima class cruiser - spinal mount progenitor.
3. Now, I find the concept attractive, and I had my variant tagged as the Unicorn class, before I discovered that either the Japanese or the French had been there before me.
4. The two issues that would have to be dealt, well three, with are that the hull can the recoil, that the gun is accurate enough that only having a single main gun isn't a disadvantage, and that the rate of fire is increased to compensate as well.
5. Battlecruisers are probably harder to define in Star Trek.
6. Cruiser killer.
7. Inefficiency has to serve a strategic purpose, if not necessarily a tactical one.
8. Siege and/or blockade should at best be a secondary role for capital ships.
9. Galaxy class battleships disguised as cruise ships.
