Anatomy of War: Battlecruiser Hyperion Cross-Section

[Visions of Khas]

I've been working on this on-and-off for the past couple years now, and I have a few other cutaways lined up. Much thanks to Robear for his scaling and input on this!

If you see anything that needs to be changed -- errors, omissions, head canon, ANYTHING -- please, please, PLEASE let me know!

Enjoy!




EDIT Updated with some new blurbs, and (hopefully) all typos fixed.

Well...

If you want to be completely accurate...

The turrets are laser batteries.

Not Railguns.

I really like the rings being gravity accelerators.

Not Railguns.

It was an intentional change, one based off the recoil action from the cutscenes and their sub-lightspeed projectiles.

Alright.

That's fine then.

Did you base the dimensions on Robear's old SC2 scaling?

EDIT:

There is a spelling error in the "Ships of the Line" box.

There's a "tt" right before "Nevertheless."

The text talking about the Minotaur has a grammar error.

The last sentence "The once iconic Behemoth-class battlecruiser is slowly been phased out of service."

It should be "...is slowly being phased out..."

The Bucephalus box has a slight grammar problem.

There should be a comma after Minotaur in the list of other Battlecruiser classes.

The primary text box has a spelling error in the second paragraph. It should be "production" not "Prodiction." Also "extravagant" not "extravegant."

Yep! I just reviewed it and caught that one. I'll be making some edits to it tomorrow and re-uploading it to DeviantArt. Thanks!

Hmm, there's also the issue of how the single-barreled turrets look on the Hyperion. It seems you just put a single barrel on a twin barrel turret and placed it on the ship.

While the Twin-Barrels look fine, the single-barrels look like this on the Hyperion:



You see, they're just one barrel from the twin turrets enlarged and with a curved end sticking out of the turret's undercircle.

The circle hub doesn't exist for them.

If this is just another intentional change, that's okay.

...am I nitpicking too much?

I never realized that, thanks! No, I love detail, so keep 'em coming.

Personally the fact that how a "Burst Laser" works has never been explained means they could be an energy weapon with bolts and recoil. When it has never been said they are railguns I would nay assume that they are, and Would say burst lasers,

Omg this is so sweet. I had one of these for Star Wars. I would sell my soul for a book of these.

Amazing job VoK!
