Norse/Iberian Designs

[Kaiser Kirk]

For the Norse   "Design Thread" aka Battlecruiser/Supply ship/CDS/Destroyer

-all players and guests are welcome to submit a design & comments

-all players that submit a design meeting the specification will receive $1 per 'Design Thread' entered.

-Saturday or Sunday I will evaluate the "winner" for each.
...not sure how.

The winner in each category will receive a further small prize.


As for the other ones - Iberian DD / Minesweepers - I'm posting for Quality control, not entries.
If further Iberian ships are needed, I will post 'Design Threads'.

For the Norse   "Design Thread" aka Battlecruiser/Supply ship/CDS/Destroyer...

Light Cruiser too ?

[Kaiser Kirk]

There is not a thread for cruisers, I was going to continue the Danae series builds.
Likewise I was going to build a large number of the 1500 ton destroyers.

I did see the CL you posted, and worked in those 4.

Here is the tentative build list for 1917-1919.5.
Though it is subject to change when the "winners" tonnage is used instead of the placeholder tonnage
I used for planning purposes. At that point I will likely trim Subs or Destroyers, or even AP/DP.

I scrapped some very old ships, but there are others which are very old and could be scrapped as well.

Tentative Builds :

Finish 15 IC

Start 2 x Ullr Class Battlecruisers

Complete 2 x large CDS
Complete 4 x small CDS.

Start 4x Geilo Class cruisers
Complete 12x Danae class Light Cruiser
(note : The Norse player started 4 of these)

Complete 40x Snekkja class Destroyers
Start 4x Snekkja class Destroyers (total build 48 DD)
(note : The Norse player started 28 of these)

Complete 18 x 1910 Submarines 750t.

Complete 8x Aux-MSW
Start 2x Aux-MSW

Complete 1x Fleet Supply
Start 1x Fleet Supply.

200m/270m on Quebec Drydock.

2 LP, 6 AP, 6 DP, 2 FP

Update :
Norse
So Sunday I will try to post Polls for the various design threads, listing the ships which meet parameters.
I will then ask folks to vote...but not for their own design.


Right now I simply have tonnage reserved in the Norse builds for the vessels, and can always eliminate a DD or sub to 'compensate'

Iberia
Iberia is proving more difficult.
Darman did a lot of work to clean up the position,
but customized the turn sheet in the process, and broke several internal pointers.

I got through 1917.5, and then open office crashed and ate 1917.5... argh.

I will be using the generic minesweeper, and copying a supply ship from the Norse thread.

The Iberian position seems strangely far behind others in ships, but that will pass with time.

[Kaiser Kirk]

The Norse Design Threads are now closed.
The Iberian remain open.

The Poll format is not as flexible as hoped.

So I have started with just the Norse CDS.

I will do the others when I see what problems pop up with the first.

Problems?  What could possibly go wrong?

*The Rock Doctor has built in a weak spot at the CDS' exhaust port.  Er, funnel*

Nothing, I'm sure.

[Kaiser Kirk]

You're not supposed to build those spherical designs anyhow, but fitting in the 24" gun/Torpedo launcher was a neat move.

[The Rock Doctor]

Thanks!  Needed to work out the kinks on the supercavitating torpedoes somehow.
