Azimech Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah the guns on the stock frigate are meant for other frigates, corvettes, PT boats, support ships and cargo ships/tankers. I would stay out of the way of destroyers and heavier. Taking out the hull plating of another frigate is already tedious when lagging, I expect it impossible for a single frigate to sink a cruiser - and that's how it should be. I'm going to build a cruiser soon and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viceguy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 well most of the ship is armed with 3 structural plates like i said i have a tendency to overdo things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hehehe, nice. Will probably need a cruiser to sink it. Got me thinking ... If we're ever going to do multiplayer games, we need to create some limits. Could be tonnage. Right now not a single part has a meaningful price, if I would correct it, a fleet could be limited by available funds. I haven't played World of Warships or any other multiplayer game so if anyone likes to comment ... go ahead :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viceguy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 i guess tonnage would be better than prize since you then could either go heavy for armor or weapons where funds might be harder to balance... but MP would be so darn sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viceguy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) maybe if possible you could make a "hole" in rear of ship where the torps could be on inside... otherwise i would say on the rear you can see what i mean by hole in this pic of a mogami class cruiser just under the scout plane catapults you see two small gaps into side of ship Edited January 12, 2016 by viceguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to redesign my destroyer for a torpedo rack :-) The layout is vaguely based on the Fletcher class. I am interested in your designs by the way. Anyway, I'm testing the improved example frigate, when I'm satisfied I'm going to upload version 0.3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimech Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Since the mod is sufficiently stable and balanced, I hereby request the topic be moved to the "Add-on Releases" section. @Red Iron Crown, would you like to help me with this?

Noellen Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Does it work with ubio's welding tool? If not please consider working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For making things like pre-assembled bridges and rooms, maybe. Not for building a hull though, it would take away the gameplay element of having sinkable ships. I do agree part count is too high at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djolox Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think that with unity 5 support, our problems would be sorted out. Maybe giving a go to the procedural parts would be good for count reduction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimech Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Version 0.35 is online! Changelog: Replaced all rectangles and triangles with models of my own. They're simple and crude but the colliders run to the edge, no kerbals falling through decks anymore. It's getting used to but in the end ships will look better. The texture is minimalistic, use KerbPaint to make everything a bit more interesting. All Hull-A plates now have bilge pumps in them (right-click menu) but they cost a lot of energy. It's not balanced yet. This move was motivated by the will to decrease part count, make pumping less of a hassle and make energy management more interesting. Thanks to KerbPaint, the shader blocks the irritating and ugly overheating display. Some tiny adjustments not really worth mentioning.

Azimech Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm thinking of a name change ... this shouldn't be focused on war ships only and not only WW2. Fengist has stopped with his marine pack, I wonder if there are other active mods to build large ships. Any ideas? Are YOU a wizard with names? Post them if you like.

Have you activated the water displacement? Look at the resources, it has a bar that says "water". With my ship, just press action group 1 and it will pump all water out. I haven't figured out how to automatically run them when physics start so we have to do it manually. More info can be found in the tutorial album.
