My first frigate (WIP) (23.5)

[Darkday560]

Idk if this is where this should be posted, but I am making my first frigate.

Ranger-1UKE

Ranger-1UKE is the first in the Frigate/Ranger series of ships make by the UKE (United Kerban Empire) and will be able to be armed with 2 large missiles on the bottom, along with many turrets on the top and sides to improve defense. The Ranger-1UKE is armored with 2 layers of structural panels. Tests have confirmed that 2 layers of armor is impenetrable in space, even if hit by an asteroid(used a mod to spawn the asteroid because of version before asteroid update) at 4000 m/s. The best shot at taking out this ship is as it is being launched from the KSP center on Kerban, or landing in a medium-high gravity planet. The 2 layers of armor have a small distance inbetween them, filled with struts, 650 Ibeams, and Modular Girder Segments to suppress the explosions from enemy weaponry.

Armor Design(Detailed)

The inner shell of the frigate has a 3 Modular Girder Segment space between the initial core and the inner shell of armor. This space has very little suppressive power on it at the moment. I intend to make the space filled with some sort of strong structures once the inside design is finished. Between the inner and outer armor shells, each 2x2 panel is separated by a Modular Girder Segment, then framed with 650 Ibeams. Inside the frame, many struts are placed inside to make sure it doesn't wobble. It basically looks like 4-6 spiderwebs all intertwined. The outer shell only has a couple openings. The openings are very small, and very hard to get something inside of, but easy to get things out of. The openings will be armed with weapons ranging from small turret missiles to ICBMs depending on the location of the opening and the size. If the command tower is taken out, there are many inner command stations inside in where kerbals will take over.

Why it was created

If you don't like RP stories, skip it.

The ranger-1UKE is created to initially defend the Mun colony after aliens space planes were dropped from a massive flagship. Losses were devastating, but the alien planes weren't accustomed to the Our satellite station orbiting the Mun was armed with 4 large ICBMs. Each ICBM hit the carrier at 400-500 m/s at the supposed bridge. The Carrier seemed disabled, and we sent a pod from the satellite to go and explore the Carrier. As we went inside, Kerbals in Green suits (opposed of our red suits) came out and took over the pod, captured it and captured the men. One of our men eventually escaped the carrier just before it was about to fly off back to a planet. The kerbal used the remaining monopropellant he had to land back at the wrecked mun base, and revealed to us that the kerbals were descendants of kerbals 100s of years back who crash landed into laythe and were presumed dead on impact. One man and one woman survived, and they populated the planet to oppose the UKE. Their nation isnt yet known, their language is similar however their radio chatter is so discrete, our technology can't read it.

You can become apart of this conflict!​

If you support this and would like to create your own nations and ships, and command your nation, Please let me know and I will get to it! (Note: Pictures are the only evidence that can be given of battles/orders have been executed. Also, if you choose to be a nation that has a planet with extremely low gravity/no gravity/gas giant then a large space station is required to be your Home Base. Home bases/Nation capitals cannot be attacked.

Moving this to the Spacecraft Exchange

Hmm... Do you have any screenshots available so that we have an idea of what it looks like?

Also, as a reminder: As I noted in your other thread, please bear in mind we don't allow roleplaying activities on this forum, and thus you'll have to find somewhere else to implement that. Discussing the craft itself is perfectly fine here, however.
