@TheKosanianMethodI will take entries and do a bigger tournament at 8 people.

@DoctorDavinciSorry about that, I only got 5 crafts. I'll try to run this in round robin format so enough fights happen. Sorry again, everyone. Certain classes are eating through my time a lot.

It'll be in blue. Wait till the blue thing appears then continue typing. @TheKosanianMethod

Oh! I forgot.... that's embarrassing. Should be done by this Monday.(but it wasn't and the save file is now just about done to 95%.)

All of my ships have similarly powerful, if not stronger, armament than the Zeus. The Zeus had one anti-ship missile. All other ships have 3 smaller ASMs. So, those 3 missiles have similar kinetic energy to one of my large ASMs.

All my ships are named after Greek gods.

https://imgur.com/a/kotXA I'll get the persist up ASAP. I brought 7 ships: 1 CR-02 Pico S ASM(26 tons) 2 CR-02 Pico S Mini-ASM(29 tons) 4 CR-03 Pico 2 Mini ASM(33 tons) This turn was rather simple. I fired 1 missile from the Zeus(Pico S ASM), hit the Religion, and disabled 2 solar panels, as well as all but 2 engines. The Zeus then moved to a 700 km circular orbit with its 9 ion engines. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3IvrPbGhZWFdENWZDFOUEk5SXc @quasarrgames

I downloaded the save file, and am about halfway done with ship placement.

@quasarrgames Any word on that persist for minimus, maybe duna? I don't know how much TWR your fighters have.

I would also like to see my other craft, the CR-03 equipped with 3 small ASMs be reviewed. The weapons should be effective at longer ranges but I expect bounces at <400m.

7 ships, 200t, some planet that doesn't have high gravity so that ions actually move ships. Maybe minimus.

I know that bug and hate it... I constantly fire at ~400 m, so it works at those ranges. But at close ranges that bug is sooo horrible. I think you have a 2nd craft of mine with a different hull(similar style) and 3 smaller ASMs. That should have a trial by fire in the Naval Battle Club if you want to stop by.=)

I'm ready. You or me sets up the persist?

I think that's a new craft. I'll warn you that I couldn't fix a few things about it, but the weapons are far better. Also I gave you 2 crafts(should add up to 5 crafts), which have different chassis and weapons. Also thanks very much!

I have a GTX 970(in effect a 950 because only 1/2 is given to my Linux VM) and a Xeon E3 1246 v3. 16 GB RAM.

Not really a point in doing that. Yeah, but Windows UI is messed up at high DPI.

It would be nice if Nvidia used open source stuff so that G-Sync isn't so highly priced. You can't get 1440p cheaply though, as 4k is cheaper for some reason.

It won't matter anyways. I can try out running a Charon, but expect 10-15 FPS.

Yeah, I won't do any better trying to run a Charon than you. Xeon E3 1246 v3 GTX 970 16 GB DDR3

I'm talking computer components(video card, CPU, etc.).

Off topic- What parts are in your computer(want to know how laggy a Charon would be)?

Its fine. I think that 8bitgammers did a review of it before and I specifically improved upon almost all of what was mentioned(can't fix part count, and did my best with armor). Thanks.

Could you look at the Pico upgrades sometime this weekend? I think its been a few weeks, but it should still be in your PM box.

I launched a new Top Gun tournament if anyone in the thread is interested. Modern fighters and the like.

Radar is required, and crafts must contain their own radomes. These radomes must have locking capability(no AWACS radomes), and the fighter must carry them, not a separate craft. Radomes allow all missiles to be used, and allow guns to lead more accurately.
