User blog:CobraStrike/Fractured Ship Exploration

From the Central Texas Fleet Operator's Office in Austin, Texas



Today we investigated the mechanism and attempted to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of a fractured ship – a ship built with separate, floating parts. After an hour of model building, we tested our fractured ship. To our dismay, it performed under expectations, and was ineffective against our already fine working warships.

The test vessel, nicknamed Fractured Ship, was a replica of the Rapier-class hull, built with segmented hull pieces. Although it operated fine at turning and firepower, it was a slow ship, and as such we are not planning to use it in battle or service, but as a testbed for other designs.
