Tarzan

Hi guys! I'm thinking about a little (ok, not so much) upgrade for my PC. Not the whole new - my case is probably worth more than everything inside it and Corsair 700W should be still enough, but all besides those. hat are you planning to do with this compuer? Please be as specfic as possible I need it mainly for games - especially KSP and Space Engineers but I plan to buy Elite when my PC will be able to handle it and I wanted to get involved in Star Citizen. Rarely other games (action, FPS, etc) What is your budget about 800$ Does this include a copy of Windows? no Does this include peripheals (a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, etc.)? no [*]Are you from the United States or a different country? Are you ordering from your own country or from across borders? Poland Wherever you may be from, does the store that you are planning to order from have a website? It's okay if it isn't in English, we can manage esc.pl they have best prices but I don't think they have english version of their site :/ sorry? If you are from the United States, do you live nearby a Microcenter? N/A Do you have any specific requests with the build? Do you plan on overclocking? If yes, do you have a specific goal in mind? yes, but not at the beginning so I don't think I already need any better cooler etc, although some time ahead I would like to overclock so it would be nice if everything would bo ok for that Would you prefer the build to be particularly small? no, go big or go home. Also, my case is pretty big Would you prefer the build to be particularly quiet? would be nice if I could hear the game over it In general, do you prefer this to be a computer that you can spend money on now and let it rest, or a box built for continuous upgrading? for a few years I would like to not spend more money on it. and then I guess "upgrade" would mean the same thing I need to do now, so besides overclocking and things needed for that (cooling) I guess it will rest. Maybe I will also throw SSD inside some time down the line Do you ever plan on utilizing NVIDIA's SLI or AMD's CrossfireX technologies? These features, with a compatible motherboard, allow a user to link multiple identical graphic cards together for added performance. In real world terms, this lets you buy a second identical graphics card down the line as a relatively cheap and easy way to gain a fairly large boost in performance. However, this requires buying a SLI/CFX compatible motherboard and PSU now, which may result in slightly higher initial cost. Don't think so (OPTIONAL) Have you already looked at or considered any parts (it's okay if you haven't)? If so, please list your top 1-2 choices for each category. If you've only picked out a few of the below, just list those. CPU - Intel i5 4690k Motherboard - AsRock Z97 Anniversary RAM - Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) 2400MHz CL11 HyperX Savage (maybe I will get another pair some time ahead, so I would like to stick to 2x8 not 4x4) Graphics Card - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 OC 4GB DDR5 128bit Power Supply - n/a Case - n/a Hard Drive - Seagate 1 TB 7200rpm 64MB cache SATA600 Barracuda Solid State Drive (optional) - maybe later Mouse (if necessary) no Keyboard (if necessary) no Monitor (if necessary) no Speakers/Headset (if necessary) no So that's it, would be so cool if you could help me

I cannot rotate turrets, any ideas why?

I'm getting closer to finishing my new, better armoured and more part optimal series of battleships. Although it took me more time than I thought, I will be available for battle soon. Also: @ScriptKitt3h - I really like your idea of prizes @BrightBritches - woah, those are some really pretty ships

I won't be able to battle for about 2-3 days, cause I have some IRL things to do and also my fleet needs a bit of work (mainly new armouring method, it will be MUCH better now - first tests are very promising)

@Spartwo - ranking needs to be updated, as Tarzan SC lost its recent battle with AvronMullican and now has round 0 points (and AvronMullican has 1)

So, here is my most recent project: H.A.C. (Heavy Assault Craft) It weighs over 400t, while having less than 500 parts. It has almost 9km/s dV and low gravity VTOL capability (yay!) and basically can take full squadron of tanks to Bop, land there vertically and unload (if you find a landing spot flat enough). It can also serve as a carrier. more pictures

TSCS "Bagheera II" moved to an intercept with leftovers of "Kerchak" in order to reload, but unfortunately, emergency generators on "Kerchak" have been destroyed so it was impossible. "Bagheera II" then proceeded to attack one of the fighters. But as there was only a few missiles left, it only managed to damage it a bit. Then, as it was out of ammo with no chances to reload, it crashed itself to Bop in order not to let anyone steal our tech. Battle is officialy won by AvronMullican. persist screenshots P.S. it seems that crew of "Kerchak" and "Shere Khan" is still alive ("Bagheera II" was unmanned). Tarzan SC would be very thankful if AvronMullican was so kind to bring those kerbals to our CEO.

I can't say that it is beautiful, but it makes some impression for sure. Huge. Just huge.

As I said before, they must have some weak spot, cause sometimes I got lucky shots during the tests but I never managed to find it precisely. Apart from that, they are REALLY tough

My turn: Screenshots (I don't want to spam thread with pictures) Thankfully, Shere Khan has a lot of torque, emergency generators and main control module is small RC deep inside the hull, so even though only one engine was left it was quite operable. Seeing the battle is not going in right direction, main command decided to attack on "Hawking" again in a desperate attempt to break enemy's spirit. Unfortunatelly it didn't went well as "Shere Khan" only managed to damage "Hawking" a little bit more and it went empty on ammo. Sadly it might be the end of "Kongo" fleet if enemy will play it well. persist

sure, just don't delete main part of "Kerchak" as there is a lot of ammo to reload

persist I managed to damage (but not destroy) the "Hawking". Finally. After something about 15 crashes -.- I think that something is not ok with my PC. It was always slow, but never that much. Right now I even have problems with my browser o.O Screenshots - I don't have energy for descriptions after that fight against my computer

Weird. It should not be that bad if so o.O EDIT: Seems that "Tiger" needs some work on it. You had a lucky shot though, test rendered that its armour is actually pretty tough against all kind of projectiles

Sorry, but submitting persist might take me some time as lag goes to space and I have A LOT of crashes. @ScriptKitt3h, how many parts have "Hawking"? It's killing my PC

I think that now there has been a battle at every body, so... Also - Pol is not Bop o.O

Tarzan Space Company vs AvronMullican (I don't know if I have chosen right color) Rules: -Body: Bop -Special rules/rule exclusions: *no leaving SOI *no landing *mechjeb allowed *max 400 parts/craft -Maximum number of craft: 4 -Maximum total mass: 300t -Use of K-drive: no Tarzan SC has send its 2nd Expeditionary Fleet "Kongo" (thanks for an idea Daemon) on an orbit around Bop. Fleet is as follows: 1x TSC2 "Tiger"-class medium cruiser TSCS Kerchak - flagship 1x TSC2 "Puma"-class medium destroyer TSCS Shere Khan 1x TSC "Barracuda"-class missile corvette TSCS Bagheera II (yes, it's back!) persist

8:30 - 1:00 what time zone? Actually, no. If you are the one to submit fleet second it is better, as you can adjust your fleet for opponent's ships and also you get to strike first. But ok, I will submit persist within hour

No, I don't have any video capture program and I don't actually think that I will be able to use one as my PC is rather slow I hope screenshots will do... The one who sets the rules up is the one to submit persist first and so, to move second. Who will do? No difference to me, so decision is yours

It's in 9th post on Page 15, described as "Battlecruiser" EDIT: @AvronMullican - I can battle you, but we would start tomorrow, cause it's 00:49 here and I'm pretty tired. You can setup the rules and submit a post with your fleet here if you want and I will do my move tomorrow. Also, if you want to battle, tell me if you have mechjeb installed, as it is on all my ships and I don't know if I have to remove it.

I have been testing a lot of my ships with hawking and it seemed a bit weird. Sometimes direct hit with a volley of SRBs did almost nothing and sometimes one I-beam or small missile caused total destruction o.O

And Ingressor is also (in my opinion) prettier, even though Hawking looks extraordinary. How much does it (Ingressor) weigh/what is the part count?

"Shere khan" was supposed to be the name of one of my ships in next battle, along with Kerchak I try to stick to naming ship classes after marine life forms, and actual ships after movie/book characters

So I made this: Any ideas on how to name it? It weighs 104t, contains 457 parts (mainly because of ammo) and is really heavy armed and armored

So that armour must be far from being full as there must be the way to put things inside, right?

@Spartwo - Armour is also modular?
