Wilhelm 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) General and Technical Data Model number: XFA-LMA01 Code name: Woglinde Unit type: Zaft New Era Battlecarrier Manufacturer: Zaft Operator: Zaft Military First deployment: Unknown, expected maiden flight late, CE85 Capacity: 350 Crew, room for additional personnel. Height: Overall length 502 Meters, Weight: 48900 tons Power plant: Fukuda PH Generator Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown; Reinforced Titanium armor; anti-beam coated laminate hull. Fixed armaments: “Novae” positron Lancer cannon x1, mounted on forward end of main body; Dual barrel beam cannon x 2; Retractable Dual Beam Cannon x 4, mounted on the underbelly of the ship; 16 x retractable multi barreled CIWS, mounted on main body; many x missile launchers (mounts "Neidhardt" space missiles; mounted on main body; 4 x torpedo launcher (mounts "Wolfram" M25 torpedoes), mounted on main body; many x anti-beam depth charge launchers, mounted on main body Mobile Weapon Capacity Maximum of 12 x Mobile suits, usual capacity, 9 x mobile suits, 3 x MS units per team. Technical and Historical Notes In the early months of CE 80, the Zaft organization decided to create a new age ship, with the capacity of a carrier with the firepower a battleship. Zaft has managed to create a concept that has the capacity to carry an assortment of space use mobile weapons, and maintain a steady flow of support via its onboard weapon systems. This concept became known as Project Woglinde. Project Woglinde started in CE 81 with the construction on the base frame in an Aprilius One dry dock. Much like its predecessor, the Minerva, the Woglinde has three internal hangers, a center, and two on its starboard and port sides. The center contains the main hanger where most of the suits are launched via catapult, while the other two, are simplistic retractable metallic beams holding Mobile suits by their torso using restraints. By having three separate hangers, mobile suits are evenly distributed usually three separate mobile suit fire teams in each corresponding hanger. Usually, it has been determined that most low speed mobile suits are launched via catapult leaving the side hangers with high speed units. The Woglinde has the same layout of the Minerva, a single barreled positron weapon located at the nose of the Battlecarrier. It is underneath the main catapult, and is hidden by its armor. The weapon dubbed a positron lancer cannon, received its name due to the shape and positioning of the weapon on its blueprint. The armor opens on the tip into a fork shaped position revealing the barrel of the cannon. Several other achievements have been added into the Woglinde superstructure. Its retractable cannons, Ciws, and Missile bays allow it to mask itself as a large carrier around many of its smaller escorts, the Nazca, and Laurasia battleships. During combat alert, the Woglinde would be able to fully activate its weapons revealing its hidden arsenal in minutes. Unlike the Minerva, and the Alliance’s Archangel, the Woglinde is too large to sustain itself in the Earth’s atmosphere and is strictly a space use vessel. This design was taken severely in the creation process. The primary purpose dictated by Zaft headquarters, was strictly a space use vessel to prevent future catastrophes against the Plant colonies. Port and Starboard hangers simplisitic drawing, since I'm not a good artist.

Marcus Falden 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Nice you used an existing Pegasus class ship, but I do like how you twisted it around to fit zaft. About the only thing I dont agree with its the lenght. But hey thats your artistic license there so you make it however you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 This ship is a Reinforce Jr. from V Gundam, only tweaking I was the history and added Zaft weaponry to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizer 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 weaponry and such looks good, I'm just wondering about the Fukuda PH generator. I just don't know what it is or how much power it puts out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 About the only thing I don't agree with is the length. It's the closest thing we'll get to having an Imperial Star Destroyer. Wilhelm: Did you mean laminate armor? If so, isn't that supposed to be restricted to the EA? If not, did you mean that the entire ship is anti-beam coated? Either way, that's one expensive ship, lol.

Sylia Rose 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 *shakes fist* I have the biggest shiniest ship!! You hear me!! None have a better ship than me! *goes and sits in corner* lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Laminated Armor isnt restricted to the Earth Alliance, the Minerva has an unknown thickness of Laminated armor. Lol all prototype ships are expensive Hehe, I put Fukuda PH reactor in becuase we dont know what powers Seed ships. "Fukuda Plot Hole Reactor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Is that true? I'm honestly curious, because the Minerva isn't listed with that system in MAHQ (neither in the specs nor the notes), and maybe I simply haven't seen the Minerva take a beam hit and show that it has laminate armor (unlike the Archangel, which was shown). Did any other ZAFT machines have laminate armor? Edited November 26, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Look at Wikipedia, also there is proof of it in ep 49 of GSD. The Minerva takes a direct hit from the Gottfried cannon, and the beam disperses across its hull.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minerva_class_battleship Also, the Minerva was designed to emulate the Archangel is every way. In the manga for Destiny Astray, an alliance laminate unit, (105 Launcher Dagger) was found abandoned by Armory one in an asteriod fragment. Its been nearly 10+ years since the wars, in that timeframe its possible for Zaft to gain hold of Laminate armor.

Rad 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) In that case, my curiosity is satisfied. [me=Rad]plays the Star Wars - Galactic Empire theme.[/me] Edited November 26, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xover 0 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Out of interest, is the code for the ship "LMAO" on purpose? Mind, the whole thing looks really cool! I was just saying...caught my eye, it did. So this thing is the ownage weapon, pretty much? Except, the ownage that's big and slow? Or something to that effect? Niiice... I read it fully this time. Is this like, someone's specialised ship? Like, only one of 'em? Or is it like a Nazca; a mass produced battleship/carrier? Sorry, my thickness is unexceedable. Just curious.

Wilhelm 0 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 hehe someone noticed, The woglinde is a experimental support ship, a post-war era battlecarrier, designed to be more of a flagship to boost morale for nearby Zaft forces. The ships concept came mostly from em watching to much macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kct 0 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thing is, Macross' SDF-1 is a megabigz ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Aye, but at least the Woglinde doesnt transform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
