MANDATOR CLASS STAR DESTROYER HOW TO

The bit at the end was just speculation- there's still going to be a factor of three to five in efficiency to explain, not an order of magnitude but still substantial.Д®nder, if I knew how to make Blender work- if I had a copy, for that matter- I'd love to try doing that, but as it is, I was dumb enough to do it pen and paper- and I came up with a much smaller figure for the Imperator class, roughly 1E8 m3, so much smaller that I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong now.Д«asically, starting with the ventral shot from SWTC and measuring- actually, stretching a measuring tape across the screen - I ended up with the usual 1600m long, 992m beam- probably a measuring error on my part- and 245m deep through the stern. I'll make a better stab at it when my brain isn't quite so fried, get the angles and make a calculation that takes the actual shape of both ships into account, I'll be happy to post that for you to critique, but it's nearly one in the morning here so I'll have to get back to you on that.

'Roughly a thousand times the size' was just a top of the head estimate, to the nearest round number essentially, and I realise now that it was way too big.ДЄs a first approximation simply based on the relative dimensions- 11x the length, 7.2x the beam, 5.6x the draft, that comes out at 450x the volume- not a proper estimate, and I'm not trying to pretend it is. LTL don't matter in the power calculation, no disagreement there I was just noting that there doesn't seem to be any way to establish from the model how thick the point defence coverage actually is, so it's back to the closeups from the movie. I expect much of the 'off-screen' wartime build-up of the Republic to be based much more around conventional warmaking. I would not be surprised to see they skimp on dedicated roles for versatility, flexibility, and staying power and political concerns. If anything I'd expect the postwar ships to be based around long-deployments and low-intensity but long-duration, COIN-type operations. The Republic's Mandator-class build superficially seems to be their primary line battleship and this is at a time of unprecedented galactic war the Executor was built primarily as a multi-role centerpiece for task forces dedicated to roles other than general war and a prestige flagship for VIPs. The situation has deteriorated to where KDY felt it necessary to have a standing fleet in the Rothana system at all times to guarantee their investments - and that's before outbreak of the poorly-named Clone War(s). Gunboat diplomacy and corporate filibustering are at their height, and on the local level the galaxy is already almost constantly in some state of civil war. What worries me now is how a ship roughly a thousand times the size of an Imperator class destroyer manages to produce only a hundred and eighteen times the firepower?ДЄre they, in fact, incapable of routing all their power through weapons- is the load from engines and tensor systems so much that their gun fit can only be given ~ten percent of their power output?ДЄctually, I find both of those claims to be specious the fact is that the Kuati Mandator-class was the supercapital around which their starfleet seems to been arrayed, and we're talking about an era where blockades of thousands or tens of thousands of 2-mile doughnut combat carriers is 'trivial'. So, it seems that the Empire's supercapital is significantly larger and more powerful. Although, thinking about it, there is one big problem here.ДЄs far as power and presumably firepower goes, the Venator's ICS- stated annihilation of forty thousand tons per second puts it at 36% of the power output of an Imperator (on the standard 1E25 W estimate), and a final 'score' of 327 to 1, Executor to Venator.ДЄnd, roughly, 1.95:1, Executor to Mandator. If these are standard model cannon, and powered to the same rate of fire, that gives a ratio of 117.75 to 1, Executor to Imperator.Д«oth those assumptions are just that, default assumptions, which in the absence of any evidence or reason to assume the contrary I expect to be the case.

For the Executor, may help basically, LTL not resolvable at that scale, HTL- assuming symmetry, 942 heavy turrets, equivalent to Imperator-I's heavy twins or lighter octuples.
