The_Right_Arm Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Just a few shots of one of my newer cruiser projects. This is the Habicht Class light cruiser. 5 triple 6 inch turrets as the main armament with 8 double 5 inch secondary turrets, and a fairly solid AA compliment: Spoiler (I'm very proud of that little 20 mm emplacement I made for the bow of this ship) Still have some more handrails and other small detail type bits to add, but functionally it is ready to go, minus being short on ammo for some of the AA guns. Currently sitting at 175 parts. After this I'm bringing my main battleship into dry dock for refit with these awesome new superstructure pieces.

Oh yes some of those are very nice indeed and will be dropped in the gallery in the first post. Nice work. General news as it's been a while. Not a lot going on in L:BP right now, tracking down some bugs related to new parts in SM Marine and their interaction with hangars etc . It seems a load of little internals errors crept in to that last update, speed modding, never works out sorry guys. I've squashed most of those now. I'm going to hold off on an update until we have the hangar issues sorted, as they really will need to work properly with the SMM stuff As I'm feeling fairly amiable this evening Spoiler PS i find these screenshots interesting for two reasons, first it restores some confidence that all is not yet lost and there are people out there with some creativity left, and because it shows me which parts we're still missing for a fully rounded big ship mod Cheers all.

As far as I know they are pretty much all the original ones from the first iteration of the mod before @SpannerMonkey(smce) took over maintenance and development. The sub engines should look like the waterjets but just the 'end' part. The surfaces.. I can't remember if there were specific ones for the sub parts but procedural all moving parts will do in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonu Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Hello, I've done very simple ship and launched it. Moved it via Vessel Mover to sea and it slightly touched water, then it started spinning so quickly and I have no idea what can cause it. I have on the ship just few NAS AAs and ammo packs. Any ideas? I would be very thankful, because making more ships is nonsence when they will do the same... Edited March 26, 2017 by Toonu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi have to say that is a new one to me, I thought i'd seen all the ways for the kraken strikes on our ships. It's also the first time i recall it being reported, . The only thing that strikes me is the few ammo packs, depending on what they are they can be extremely heavy , and it is possible to roll a ship from weight of ammo alone. All onboard ammo I carry is usually offset to just above the waterline as this is the most neutral position for the mass. I'm not saying that is your problem, just a guess, as I say i've never had it happen even in testing when things can be very sketchy indeed.

Toonu Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Ok, I will test that. Can the problem be FAR? Like the rudder can be problematic? EDIT: Actually tried move ammo lower in the hull, and it has about 16 tonnes. Still hte ship rotated and even exploded at speed of 24 000m/s flying apart...

SpannerMonkey(smce) Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yes the rudders can bite you especially if scaled large or have many fitted, there is a runaway effect caused by the lift the rudder is producing being converted into speed,. this is as a result of the aero changes and we just have to live with it, There is no way to tell a rudder that it is in water and should behave differently than an aerodynamic surface on an aircraft. I usually recommend 1 large or two small rudders at most and either choose gimbal steering or rudder steering not BOTH, if you chose rudders ,lock the engine gimbals, and if you chose gimbals reduce the effectiveness of the rudder/s to zero, Avoid hard turns on large vessels, as large vessels suffer the results far worse than small ones, or rather it is easier to recover a small runaway than a large one. Another thing that can help prevent runaways and help in general maneuvering is to use the bow thruster modules from SM Marine. AS for FAR effects i have no clue as I have not used FAR in a long time, but i recall that the water is changed as a result of the changes that far makes, so maybe, I recall fengist (maritime pack) being quite disparaging about what FAR does to the sea Can i see some images of the ship? there may be something obvious in it's design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonu Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) I'm mad Why always only I have problems, not just this mod, but others too....when I also add NAS turrets (2x 17 tonnes) it is even more flying out of solar system I will send you screens Here it is...

The ship itself is more than fine , nothing out of order there, quite pretty in it's own way, BUT the drives and rudders are way too large and the rudders especially that type are a serious Kraken invite at that size remove one of them and reduce the size by half . The drives are speed limited, scaling them up just makes you get there faster, they should be half the size they are now and further forward. Try that and see what happens, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonu Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks for efforts, yeah I had normal sized drives and the ship has gone only 8m/s I know its about 30km/h but a bit slow for agile destroyer. So I scaled it and...you know...but I will try as soon I will get home and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like a offshore supply ship like Go Quest/Searcher. its easy to make one, just use IR, with docking ports, and KIS magnets or something, and then use parts from other mods to build the shape of it, and use the hulls from LBP and/or SM marine. I worked on one, and it turned out well, but i changed computers, and didn't transfer my ships Edited March 26, 2017 by acerarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
