Interesting idea Imperator Fyron. I used a base at 2010kt, required bridge, but not CQ or LS, required 99% cargo, and added cargo storage ability 0 to all RW/SW components, and gave a 500% defense plus and 500% offense minus and voila, it worked. Thanks

'How about "Stellar Manipulation Barge"'

Not bad, but I do intend to use this ship class for more than just SMing.

Also- does the 'number of engines for one move' attribute work? I think it strange that these large baseships, though unable to move quickly, get off scott-free by not having to have more engines per movement point. I was thinking about toying with making me baseships require extra engines to move.. maybe..

Names for BAS(Big assed Ship)
Death Star (made that one up myself)
Monitor
Super Dreadnought
Mothra (personal favorite)
MSB (Mobile Star Base)
Mother Ship (he he he)
Papa Ship
Holy Ship!
Gargantuan
Void Ship
Battle Star
Fleet Ship

Not sure why you would need such a ship in a game. It is my experience that Dreadnoughts are the mainstay of any fleet and once you start to build them almost no other size is built.

One of the main reasons I want a 2500kt class ship is so I can make ringworlds and sphereworlds without construction ships. Though the maintenance and overall expense for these ships is more than just putting the required componenets on starbases and constructing those on site, the advantage is you get to use planet shipyards to build the 2500kt ships.

Plus I just like the idea of very large ships floating around.

I really did lean towards 'SDF'.

But, how could I blaspheme the great name of ROBOTECH?!
