Alright, not that small lol. That's a drone fighter with a missile, not a ship I'm thinking like no more than 50 tons for any ship

Haha the only reason I say it is because looking at the ship and how it's shaped, there doesn't really appear to be any good place to attach boosters

So I think i'm going to start downsizing my ships. Just seems to me that with weaponry always being ahead of armoring, the best defense is having smaller ships Then again, I might still try to make something ginormous that is invincible to all weaponry lol

Hint: Hyperedit

Why do you think i took it out first? lol excited to see it myself

I'll double check, but seeing as how i can look straight through the back... not sure there's anything there anymore lol Double check: yep shes dead in the water, oh well! good fight

gonna be some fancy maneuvers lol (assuming my ship even survives)

yeah, am i allowed to fire guided missiles from it still? or no? and if not, can i take the missiles off of it and put them on the Sardine?

oh play it, i still have missile on the guppy

yep, just one @zekes i just hit it in the front really hard and it kinda went boom

and the whole thing just sort of peeled open like a banana

right down the front, between the missiles

Why yes, yes it is The Sardine maneuvers into position in front of the Hangthier and deploys a guided torpedo. And scores a direct hit! Pretty sure that she wont be doing much more after that lol. Also found this little gem floating about in the wreckage, so i took the liberty of topping off the Sardine Persistance

I have them strutted to the frame on the inside. but its not like they broke off, they're just gone lol

just looked at the ship, you almost entirely cleaned out the inside of it, without damaging a single armor panel O_o

Well on the one hand, i guess that means the armor works! and how about 200m firing minimum? (for next time we battle or something)

the damaging shots actually were from a little further away, the volley of 2 that i sent from 40m....well one knocked off comms stuff, and the other actually got stopped by an engine without doing any damage lol and for a minimum range, i personally think like maybe 100m or 150m would be good for future battles. 300 its gonna be almost impossible to hit any weakspot smaller than one of those 2x2 panels, and that would be if you were really good lol.

After a kraken attack consumed the Swordfish (literally everything but the cone on the back of the cockpit is just gone lol) The Sardine moved to engage the Jarvare. Having lost our largest weaponry in the opening of the engagement, drone controllers back at KSC decided the only solution would be strategic attacks against the heavily armored ships of the enemy fleet. Moving to the rear of the Jarvare the Sardine opened up at point blank with 3 unguided missiles, knocking off comms equipment, 2 engines, destroying a fuel tank, and blowing open a section of the armor protecting the engine compartment. Seizing the opportunity, the Sardine maneuvered to the exposed side of the Jarvare and fired it's last unguided missile, tearing through what was left of the engine compartment and effectively immobilizing the enemy vessel. (also created some random explosion off in the distance lol) YOUR MOVE! https://www.dropbox.com/s/fch1t5f4cp0ludi/persistent.sfs

If it isn't allowed then I'll consider it dead, I just thought it would be fine seeing as how zekes always puts like 10 in his ships lol. Seems like if it has thrust is has a probe core with him

@camulus777 well that's weird but ill look into it when I get on later today. Glad to hear Jeb is okay, but there is also another probe core on the ship that is used to navigate, so it might not be dead just yet

Enders game was probably the only book I actually read cover to cover in school, and I loved every minute of it. Cant wait to see the movie!

yeah, but i like to prove to myself at least that the ships can get there plus it just adds flight experience for next time, as evidenced by the fact that one of the gunships used about half as much fuel getting into orbit as the other and if it gets to be too much of a hassle, i'll fly each ship class there once and then i'll hyperedit to save time.

Alright, after a lot of flying by the seat of my pants, my private defense fleet has arrived in orbit around Ike The fleet consists of 2 gunship drones, the Guppy and the Sardine. Also accompanying them is a destroyer, the Swordfish, commanded by none other than the legendary Jebediah Kerman. The first combat experience for both ship classes, much will be learned from the outcome of the engagement. We are patiently awaiting the arrival of the fleet of camulus777 and will protect our interests at all costs.

I accept!

Me thinks you're scared JK the homework grind sucks
