Bestower Ammunition Super Freighter (left)

Mass: 27 mil kg
Acceleration: 0.8m/s^2
Fixed Containers: 56 large
Weapons: 12 missile launchers

(design inspired by the Amarr Ark)

This ship was specifically designed to carry enough ammunition to supply my Kestrel Battleship (which has 52 large containers). By extension, this means that the Bestower is also capable of supplying any other of my current designs. The Bestower itself has 56 large containers, each is split into 7 sections containing 8 containers each. within these sections, each container is surrounded by heavy armor and blast doors to protect from any catastrophic explosions. The containers are all connected by a conveyor system that extends to the exterior on either side of the ship so that it can easily dock and transfer ammunition to another ship. The Bestower also has a large missile bay at the top with doors that can open and close to receive and protect cargo. This bay is capable of holding missiles about 5 blocks in diameter and over 50 blocks long. The bay was designed to receive the same type of missiles that my Harrier Siege Cruiser uses.

The Bestower itself is not without weapons. as a last resort, 12 missile launchers can tap into the same ammunition supply for self-defense. in the interior, The ship was designed to have large open spaces with a few narrow hallways or walkways and many turrets, making for excellent kill zones to guard against boarders.

Orca Ammunition Frigate (right)

Mass: 3 mil kg
Acceleration: 2.2m/s^2
Cargo Capacity: 12 small containers, 10 large containers
Refineries: 10
Assemblers: 10

Although designated as an ammunition frigate, the Orca was created to be an all around transport ship. it is designed to be able to easily dock with other stations and ships and transport ammunition or fuel. at the same time, the Orca excels as a mining transport where ships can easily fly overhead and drop off their resources into the large collection array. From there, the Orca has enough refineries and assemblers to immediately begin creating its own cargo.

no idea, perhaps i was testing it to make sure the conveyors work. the orca was the first ship i build when the new conveyor models were introduced

Why is there ore and/or stone in every container that has something in it?

it was a secondary purpose that i had in mind - more so as a repair bay than actual hangar but your idea would work also. i just never bothered calling it a repair bay because there isn't really any maintenance equipment that you can place in the current game build

You made a tiny version of the providence and named it after a smaller ship in the same class, both Amarr ships...

it was inspired by it very heavily. i said in the description it's based off the Ark but you are right the Providence is the basic version and i just have my terminology wrong

Looks a lot like the Providence class freighter from EVE Online
