These are designs I had for ships for a potential mod for nebulous fleet command I wanted to make. I'm not familiar with modding and I decided there were other things I wanted to prioritize and that I could do a better job of, but I'm still very interested in the concept, and very happy with the drawings.
Sigirov was a nation conquered by a tyrranical empire many years ago, but after the empires conquest outstretched its supply lines, the workers of Sigirov rose up for independance. However, the traditional elite of the Sigirovian royalty and capitalist class created a counter-revolutionary movement which split the nation in two for many years.
Eventually the Republic of Sigirov was triumphant and the nation has settled into peace. For a long time, it relied on many smaller, heavily armed ships which could punch above their weight to project power, but now, looking outwards towards the international stage, the SRN has realized a new kind of force is necesarry. In recent years the SRN has put in orders for many large capital ships, fleet carriers, arsenal ships, and battlecruisers. While retaining the SRNs traditional combination of high speed and great firepower, these ships nevertheless have lighter armor than their conventional counterparts. However, they make up for this with advanced active protection systems.
Advanced missile systems, long range fighter-bombers, and accurate gunnery are the bread and butter of the SRN's arsenal, but their own ships are weak to heavy guns and direct confrontation with conventional opponents.
The SRN is very heavily inspired from the changes of the development of the soviet navy late into the cold war, as I thought the themes and conclusions which could be drawn from that were interesting.
