Aurora Dancer's Modeling Career · 7:13pm Jan 8th, 2017
BEHOLD HER GLORY!
You beholding yet?... Good.
This piece of artwork was brought to you by this sweet wonderful person (Philichez). I want y'all to shower him with every one of love you've got. This thing took like 11 hours. I in no way deserve this, and thus I need all of you to make up the difference.
He was wayyyy to good to my stupidity. Which my presumptive personality was way too eager to inflict upon him.
Final count of guns.
184 40mm (1.5748 inch) CIWS/AA Autocannons.
32 12.7cm (5 inch) Dual Purpose Artillery
18 20.32 (8 inch) Rail Guns
Glory beheld.
4374567 gonna accept my steam friend request?
This is not the modeling career I expected/hoped for when I opened this blog, but it's the modeling career I deserved.
4374588
Done. Sorry it took so long...haven't had a chance to get on Steam
4374620 If you know anyone who does commissions of Kancolle style anime gals. She could have OTHER modelling careers. Her forward hull is VERY heavy.
Generally you count guns by turret so for example
8 x3 8inch Rail guns
or 6 according to the 3D model.
Maybe I'll work up a version on Space Engineers
4374994
then
6x3 8inch guns
16x2 5inch guns
and 46x4 40mm guns
4375121 Yep!
Also sorry, your ship kind of got hijacked by another design... The first attempt went very poorly and the second kind of took a wild turn before it even got started.
4375313 I... the Kancolle thing?
4375359 No? Space Engineers is basically minecraft in space, but your ships and such can move. I was going to make the Dancer but it got sidetracked.
4375685 oh, no, I have space engineers. I wouldn't try making this though. 700+ blocks long isn't very stable.
4376267 Well it'd be downscaled obviously. Especially since it's just a frigate.
4376339 Again, frigate is just to distinguish the patrol and home fleet. It's a callback to the old age of sail usage of the term frigate. In modern parlance it would be called a cruiser, a heavy cruiser to be precise. There is some distinction, but it's more how the vessel is equipped. EX: most frigates have a scout ship hangar, while a home fleet ship usually will use that spot for something else. It varies by class.
Fair enough.
It looks like a ship from the Anime "The Irresponsible Captain Tylor"
4383206 If you want a more direct anime reference. Check out Space Battleship Yamato. It's also known as "Starblazers."
Nice, always makes me smile when I see the word "Railgun"
I have beheld it, and I wish to know two things: What ammunition is used, and where the hell do you store it? 18 Rail guns? With how fast the current railguns fire (about 10 RPM), if you aren't careful and have seperate stocks for all ammo, you could run out very quickly in a fight.
4440995 a bunch of highly engineered shells that do different things. most of the ones for the main guns are just APHC (armor piercing high capacity) of some incredibly intricate and sci-fi design.
they carry a few hundred shells per gun, just like the real life ww2 ships. The shells for the main ones are less than half the size of the ww2 ones.
What's the largest railgun ever fired, and how many firings did it take to break?
4488996 probably one of the orbital battery guns, and it was probably upgraded too fast to ever wear out. They aren't actually the main line of defense.
Oh look, a Salamis class cruiser

Needs more dakka. Also, how many gelato machines are aboard her?
That Looked like a UNCF ship.
Does it have a wave motion engine?
While 5-inch guns are a normal standard for navel guns, five-inch for the purpose of artillery feels a bit smaller when ground arty is already at the standard of 155mm. Idk, feels small to me, I usually prefer ground and air vehicles when it comes to military history over navel vehicles.
