I'm trying out the feasibility of a Giagantic Dropship-Warship (See general discussion).

Its just a test. This thing can hold a lot of troops. Protect it well, its only got so much armor and defense...

It's a good idea, but a little on the heavy side. What I'd do is drop the fighters, leaving that solely to your dropship support, and scale back the number of docking hardpoints a little. 18 is a bit much, even as an escort for something this valuable.

Other than that it's a good start. I can't really think of any other flaws/ideas.

I label it...deathtrap.

Putting all your eggs in one basket + enemy = cracked eggs.

I would make it my sole drive to destroy this ship. Knowing this ship is responsible for quite likely the entirety of the enemy invasion force, any casualties I take knocking it down would be well worth it.

This will be more dangerous to you than the enemy. By putting everything in one ship, it becomes a single, juicy target, which will be attacked to the exclusion of all else. It doesn't have nearly enough armor to deal with the amount of attention it will draw. And most any WarShip can outrun it. Since it has a pathetic naval-grade armament, a WarShip will be able to destroy it with little fear. And any world large enough to justify the use of such a ship will have some type of WarShip defending it, likely a cruiser.

It's an interesting idea, but I think that you'd be better of with the usual DropShips.
