An insane, super-illegal exercise of MegaMekLab
« on: 19 October 2022, 18:17:41 »
I wanted to build something like an Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer.  However, BattleTech has a hard limit of 2500000 tons on warships, with the largest canon one being the Leviathan at 2400000 tons and about 1600 meters long.  Based on that, I created the Emperor-Class Battleship.  And it's all about a battle in every sense of the word, especially being able to carry multiple Galaxies of troops of all kinds, and have even more in storage to be shuttled to their deployment bays.

This is what Clan Snow Raven's Society cell has been up to  >:D  They cracked physics and made a jump-capable warship that's about 13 kilometers long and weighs nearly 19.5 megatons.  It has over six more times the armor of the Leviathan III and goes super fast!  Though to be fair the Star Wars Legends Executor ships had a maximum acceleration of over 1200 Gs, so there's that  ;D  It has a really light jump core because The Society figured out that they only have to be so big before they will just jump anything they're attached to (these are the same guys who worked with those who developed the PLOT armor and LAG shield for my BattleTech x Deadpool crossover, mind you  ^-^).

Mostly this was an exercise of how far I could push MegaMekLab.  There are literally thousands of weapons on this design.  MML calculates a cost of almost 234 billion C-Bills and a BV of 6280164.  So an OpFor better bring lots of nukes to penetrate the nearly 500 point defense guns on this ship.  Or bring Unicron. 

So MML did it, though very illegally  ;D  I tried to follow some established crew assignment rules, but took many stats from the Legends Executor ships.

How did it let you boost thrust to 16/24? ???

Because megamek wants to see what 24G does to the human body. Or because she wants to allow you to paint the interior of your ship red very cheaply after all that build cost.

Remember that each thrust point is 0.5G, so we're talking 12G acceleration at the most.  Still not very comfortable.

The ship is 13 km long - can you think of an easier way to decorate the interior?   ;D

MML doesn't have a hard cap on thrust like it does on allowed mass.  I have such a big power plant in order to put an otherwise impossible amount of SI and armor on the thing.  And MML went ahead and did all the math regardless!  I envision this more like a boss fight-type of unit along the lines of a mobile structure.  Space OGRE at purely capital scale if you will  :D

I really wish there was an option in MML tied with the "Unofficial" tech level that disabled all rules "safeties" and just let MML compute illegal designs as best as it can.

A Maneuvering Drive is supposed to be 6% of the ship's mass per thrust point (StratOps: AAR, page 135), so 16 thrust should have been 96% of the ship, leaving no room for the jump core or anything else...
