Robonoise Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Through a process that I call, “being bored and destroying ships through bdarmoury” (or “BBADSTBDA”) I discovered that lasers would be the perfect tool for a space battle in KSP. So thus, I announce the Star Navy Battles for v.1.7.3! It is simple, competitors build a Starship equipped with lasers from bdarmory using the AI flight computer.They will battle over Kerbin, with the use of no mods except bdarmory. In addition you may not use more than one layer of armor or use invisible armor from DCK. To complete, you must submit a link to your craft on KerbalX. Design rules: 1. No more than 10 laser cannons. 2. Only stock parts with exception of bdarmory lasers. 3. Fighters are allowed, but you cannot have more than 5. 4. Engines on starships are allowed, but not recommended since ships might no move much. Fighters can also have engines (you probably want them to). 5. Must carry at least 3 Kerbals. 6. Nothing else go stupid, go crazy, go strategic, whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else go stupid, go crazy, go strategic, whatever! Okay I'm really confused how the battles are gonna work. So we have have Airborne Laser turret. Will this be in LKO, Kerbin's surface? Will there be air? Will Gravity be hacked? BDA AI pilot doesn't much like working in vacuum in my experience. It yaws all over the place and spins out like a maniac trying to correct its own mistakes. Do fighters need laser cannons or can they have something else like missiles or guns? Can fighters use missile guidance AI to kamikaze themselves into the enemy ship? Oh, if my starship has an engine, it's gonna move. Don't worry about that. Is intentional starship ramming allowed?

Robonoise Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Sorry, I didn’t have much time to write the challenge so I was a little unclear. BDA pilot was going to be used in LKO until I did some further testing and decided against it. Now I don’t think this is going to work out. I’ll see if I can find a way to take down this thread until I can think it over a bit more @Pds314. If @Vanamonde or some other moderator could take this down that would be great please.
