Leviathan

[Kaiser Kirk]

5x4x34cm would be even better :)
Borys

Funny you should mention that...

As it so happens, while messing around with possible future directions, I made this :
She's not a final design, just a concept, since I don't have either quads or 345mm..
The 75% coal fired takes a bite out of her performance, but can't be helped.
She also has a ton of casements...about one every 8.9m of upper belt.
The 1,000t of misc weight isn't broken down, I just figure thats enough to cover any desires and leave a construction reserve.
