Demeterian Hound - Screening Destroyer

Description
Demeterian Hound - Screening Destroyer

Mods: No
Scripts: Several Optional but HIGHLY recommended
Printable: Almost completely! Rotor-gun is one big piece.
DLC: Yes... YES!!!

Features? ---
-Mega 450+ RPM Assault Gatling. Rip and tear.

-Simulated heat mechanics. The gun will slowly glow brighter and brighter till you stop firing. Then the heat vents will kick in and radiate the heat away.

-Good turret firing arcs. Expect massive volleys of forward fire.

-Lots of fuel! Quite a bit more than other LG ships I've made relative to its size.

-Atmosphere Capable.

-Fully decorated interior with multiple decks, stations, and other fun RP locations.


And now, the big text dump:

The ultimate anti-piracy vessel, living up to its name as a defender of harvest. The Demeterian Hound is equipped with the full armament of a destroyer, which in its totality pales in comparison to vessel's true primary weapon. A massive 4-barreled rotary cannon capable of outputting over 450 high-caliber shells per minute. This weapon would melt itself as well as half of the ship into molten sludge if it weren't for the Demeterian's state-of-the-art radiation system. Upon ceasing fire, the heat vents located near the cannon begin rapidly expelling heat via radiation and expulsion of super-heated gasses.

This massive buildup of heat has not gone without issue however. In one case, following a skirmish which left the ship's radiators inoperable, one Destroyer was forced to flood its interior atmosphere with the residual heat to prevent catastrophic damage being done to the ship's life-support systems. A 2nd destroyer fortunately arrived and began evacuating the crew, but most were still grievously burned and had to have their half-melted suits removed before treatment could begin. Since that event, all Hound crews have been given specialized boiler-suits to use in-case of emergencies. Take note of the numerous lockers present in every room of the ship.

The Demeterian Hound is atmosphere capable, and possesses guns positioned specifically for use in orbital bombardment. The ship is equipped with required refining and fabrication systems, and has relatively high fuel capacity to allow it to operate for long periods without refueling. As stated previously, it excels in an anti-piracy role because of its very flexible armament. However, on the line or in larger engagements, they often stay near larger vessels providing fire support and screening fleets of drones or other swarming combatants.

The next time a new set of blocks is released, I may take that as an opportunity to update some designs, this one included. We'll see

Thanks for info. I just hope that you can bring a version of this that is more improved like Lunar mentioned.

@Dots - Its ~80k PCU and 80 blocks long.

ship video review by Lunar Kolony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t2VgAgloS4

the info i'm looking for is how much PCU does it take and what are its dimensions in size

Looks sick!

I'm willing to wager that the main gun costs substantially more than $200,000 to fire for twelve seconds straight.

Although pretty handy for when you want a specific region of space to stop existing promptly.

Yeah Metro is just a fan of rotary weapons too. This is all his work. And what a gorgeous ship she is!

Not this one no

Lunatricky had a hand in this, surely. Great work.

I'll try my best, but I've always found it hard to build "themed" ships. Like when they all have the same color scheme and visual elements.
