@quasarrgames oh sorry, I thought I deleted the old persist and used the new one. Do you have to load them manually?  Yeah I think the first idea is the best one, but keep 2 missiles because of the ones you scavenged of the Zeus. Sorry about that.

[Sgt Doomball]

@DarkOwl57 Where Are you?

I'll take you @quasarrgames

[quasarrgames]

@MiffedStarfish  Another turn done!

Dismayed at the demise of Joke Kerman (he was so young!) Doodcal in the QSS Poor Armour Design rendezvoused with and fired upon the Artemis:

After four shots, the Artemis was destroyed by Poor Armour Design (though actually the armor on it was quite good).

Meanwhile, the Itself salvaged some weaponry, and engaged its prototype cloaking device, masking its appearance to long-distance radar.

Save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9j14g86qvraajl3/persistent.sfs?dl=0

Your move!

P.S. For future reference, normally I put name persistance files as something other than "Persistent" and load them manually by pressing alt-f9 and selecting the correct save from the drop down menu. Just to avoid any confusion from now on all the persistence files i upload will actually be called "Persistent". 

Also, @Sgt Doomball, are you challenging me to a space battle as well?

[MiffedStarfish]

@quasarrgames Ah. Unfortunately that means to win I would need to destroy the QSS itself with one I-beam salvo and the QSS poor armour design with one flea impactor while miraculously avoiding every single shot you fire at me. (the EX-3 has no weapons and no way to scavenge them) Still, i will take my turn later and hope to destroy one of your remaining ships with the Apollo. 

Is the Artemis completely destroyed?

@quasarrgames It is not in space, It's on the seas of Kerbin 

@MiffedStarfish Try to launched a guided fly by wire I-Beam with an R.A.I.P.E.R. engine installed.

[MiffedStarfish]

Sorry @quasarrgames, I can't take my turn today. 

@Sgt Doomball I'm not really sure what you mean?

[Sgt Doomball]

@MiffedStarfish The fly by wire system is attached to each of the i-beams. when you target the Athena you should be able to hit it accurately. 

And to @DarkOwl57 One design down two to go:

@Sgt Doomball ok I'm probably being really stupid but now I'm really confused. None of my or the QSS ships are called the Athena and my basic I-beams are not guided. And if you mean engaging the QSS never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna turn around and desert you, the problem was range and firepower, not accuracy. As for using a rapier that's not a bad idea but using a thrust limited vector would probably be more weight efficent.

That sound great! One hiccup though: I don't use BDArmoury or any kid of boat mods. I could easily put together a stock boat with some stock missiles on it, and i'd encourage you to do the same, in order to keep this battle in Naval Battle Club spirit and prevent any compatibility issues.

That's just fine  take as much time as you need

[Sgt Doomball]

@quasarrgames It seems that I will need to give mods to you in a form of a maritime pre-war gift, or ill have to break out the Bahamut for the first time

[Sgt Doomball]

What is your dropbox name @quasarrgames ?

[0111narwhalz]

@Sgt Doomball, you're missing the point. The NBC is a stock thing. Acquisition of mods is easy. Engineering the weapons and hulls yourself is hard. Many people like to do hard things; it's more satisfying that way. Most of the people on this thread are of that kind.

I might start development on a few wet-navy vessels myself in the near future. I'll probably engage in combat with you, if the vessels prove sufficiently resilient.

[quasarrgames]

Sorry, i guess that was a bit of a misunderstanding: I don't think we can have a naval battle if we use mods.

Mostly, it makes it too easy to destroy things. I mean, this is all turn-based, so there's no opportunity to maneuver out of the way of fire or deploy countermeasures or fire back like real ships would do. So any ship would be torn apart by modded guns. There would be no engineering challenge in creating the best armour or weapons. There would be no suspense in finding out if a ship survived or perished. there would be no opportunity to use clever tactics to outsmart your enemy. It would just be taking turns reducing ships to shreds, and whoever got to go first would automatically win. Doesn't sound as fun, does it?

Also, i don't want to risk corrupting all my saves, or spend two hours re-copying my entire game just for one naval battle. Not enough reward for the effort.

So if the Bahamut is a stock warship, i suggest you break it out and prepare for fun times

[Sgt Doomball]

Hey quasar killing you in space and on the seas.

PS is it alright if I have performance mods like Flight engineer? 

[Sgt Doomball]

And most mods with naval guns are modern or WWII era guns

[Sgt Doomball]

I'll be ready in four days @quasarrgames.

[MiffedStarfish]

@quasarrgames taking the apollo I rendezvoused with the QSS poor armour design (rather oddly the QSS itself had dissapeared) and fired my The I beam salvo doing no damage and my last remaining weapon, a flea impactor. 

 

Then suddenly on impact this happened!

Destroying everything in the quasar fleet but miraculously leaving the apollo in Damaged!

Seriously though, it actually did nothing. With no weapons remaining F-tech hyperedited in the white flag next to the QSS Poor armour design.  GG, I really enjoyed that and even though I lost I'm pretty happy with how the fleet performed and I did put up a bit of a fight.  Just wondering, do you have any thoughts on the EX-2s, especially how I could improve them?

I also look forward to seeing Alien alloy BOATS if you are battling sgt doomball. 

Edited March 15, 2017 by MiffedStarfish

[Sgt Doomball]

12-foot thick triple plated composite alien alloy armor at the ready.

[MiffedStarfish]

@Sgt Doomball if it's twelve foot thick plates then I pity your computer, how many parts is that?

also I was talking about quasarrgames's dark voodoo ramp and cargo bay armour.

[Sgt Doomball]

[MiffedStarfish]

@Sgt Doomball Umm... yes? 

Edited March 15, 2017 by MiffedStarfish

[Sgt Doomball]

 @quasarrgames it would be easier if we had the SM statics mod installed for launches in the sea trust me it is and hyperedit  does not work on my computer

and also Kerbin cities for realism

[quasarrgames]

@MiffedStarfish I really enjoyed battling with you too. Again, your armour was impeccable, and your guided missiles are some of the strongest weapons i've encountered so far. Your ships performed well for an experienced battler, let alone a first timer.

I guess the only thing that might help you in future battles, though unecessary, is to add claws to all your EX2 ships. Without claws on my ships i would not have won this battle.

[MiffedStarfish]

@quasarrgames Thanks! Literally the very first thing I did after the end of the battle was to add claws:

 

 

[Sgt Doomball]

Miffed could you battle me on NAC 2.0?
