Dman979 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Well, that was unexpected. Both things, really, but I was expecting the cruise missile to get shot down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Phil Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Quote Man had decided to study war no more because they were very, very good at it I wonder if this might apply to the Kerbals... Get some Man-Kzin Wars style action. Turns out... spaceships make good weapons. I'm really liking the story so far. Great job, @Kuzzter!

Well, I can't really tell if hit the nacelle or not, but assuming it did, you'll note the lower mainsail engine. If I'm correct, this is likely an equivalent of an "impulse engine", and should still be enough to move her around. My question: if she did survive, can she now return fire? I mean come on.. we're talkin' about the Admiral... surely she has something up her sleeve... Edited February 3, 2017 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took the hit, which means it's now safer for the Glidos to go to work. One of those missiles would likely have killed a Glido. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get too far off topic, but yes, the real Enterprise went thru a lot, and survived. So I suppose the real question is: how much, or little, is @Kuzzter basing his Enterprise on the original? Only time will tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha 360 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) The question is not if the Enterprise is based off Enterprise, but Enterprise is based off of which Enterprise. Because the Star Trek Enterprise was continually damaged, and destroyed several times. The real Enterprise, the first one, was scrapped after WW2. The nuclear-powered Enterprise is still operational today, and as far as I know, it suffered no damage. Or it could be making its own legacy, only the all-knowing Kuzzter knows.

Alpha 360 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Yes, the useless Nacelles, of course they are useless. Of course, if the Kuzzter included the command disc, he would have gotten some copyright violation messages. Also he would lose his following, smart move Kuzzter.

This is so off-topic I think Kuzzter is probably going to ostracize me, but no, the USS Enterprise CVN-65, the world's first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, is no longer operational. She was taken out of service on December 1st, 2012 and was officially decommissioned today. http://pilotonline.com/news/military/local/uss-enterprise-a-timeline-of-the-world-s-first-nuclear/article_005db8ec-d756-5b94-8e54-4880c9b59842.html Edited February 3, 2017 by Trios Added a link!

DarkOwl57 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So, upon review of the explosion, it would appear that the right engine mount is damaged, or severed, as it was at a different angle to the one on the left. I think that the 'missile' just missed the mainsail, though I'm not sure about if it hit a fuel tank or whatever the engine's mounted to. As for the command section, that's totally up in the air since I haven't got a clue where it is. If @Kuzzter could give us like a diagram of the ship, I might be able to see what's damaged.
