Space Control Ship USS Tyr

The Tyr Class "Space Control Ship" is a concept from the old Starfleet Battles board game. Her role is pretty self explanatory. Go to an area of space, and "control it". In Starfleet Battles the "SCS" class ships are huge carrier class vessels. Armed, and shielded almost to battleship level. That can carry squadrons of strike craft, and corvette sized ships (ether internally, or externally).

In 2000-2003 The original version of the Tyr (which was called the "yamamoto class" way back when) Was to be a replacement for the Homeworld Classic, and Homeworld Cataclysm Mothership/Command Ship. She had full "SCS" capability's, Research Modules, The ability construct add-on components, and a Drydock on her aft section to construct Frigate to Dreadnought size ships. The ship build animations looked especially awesome in HW: Cataclysm. I bit off more than I could chew back then, and unfortunately I was never able to finish those projects.

Fast forward twenty years. This version of the Tyr I basically built on a whim "Because I can". She is in no gaming, or modding project. Nor do i intend her to be in one. She is still not complete. She is a continuing WIP. However she is complete enough for rendering purposes. The ship design itself is based off of the Klingon Academy/Starfleet Command Yamato Class battleship. The original version was an ugly mess that used up scaled constitution parts. Very low poly, and very low resolution (It was necessary at the time). This new version has no poly, or texture limit.

This Tyr will serve the same role as the original. A Mothership/Command Ship replacement if i chose to use her in a Homeworld Remastered, or Homeworld 3 modding project. She is 1000 meters long exactly. Anything smaller ships under construction will not fit in her drydock. The drydock follows the same ruleset as the Starfleet Battles "Fleet Repair Dock". Tyr can not move if another ship is docked inside the drydock being repaired, or under construction. When not in use the Drydock folds up. The upper roll bar has standard photon torpedo launchers. The lower roll bar is a captured, and reverse engineered Romulan enveloping Plasma Torpedo launcher (Reliability questionable). She has similar Research Module, and Support Module capability as the Somtaaw Command Ship (which she was intended to replace). The upper hangar bay supports standard fighter, bomber strike craft, and utility shuttles. The twin secondary hulls are through deck hangars capable of landing, and supporting corvette size ships (think archer class). She would start the game out feebly armed, but with research, and proper resources become a very powerful end game unit. She is meant to be the only ship of its kind in existence.

For a standard Starfleet Battles Space Control Ship the Tyr Class would keep her Fighter, and Corvette (Fast patrol Ship) support capability, but lose its Drydock, Plasma Torpedo, and Modules. She would also be down scaled to a little over 500 meters. She would also be armed, powered, and shielded according to the SFB SCS rule sets.
