@DarkOwl57 No your not. I'm sueing! :D

Also, @ShadowGoat, anything will absorb a G3 Torpedo from 200m, it was designed to be fired from over 7 times farther away! For the engines, your armour plating is probably blocking the thrust, but I would try checking A: If they have any fuel connections, as ksp was not designed to work with the radically different hulls of warships, or B: If there is only a tiny slit, or no slit at all, from which the engines are visible through the armour. Screenshots and possible craft files would make diagnosing it a lot. Easier. :)

As for the I-beam, if it is offset inside your ship then yes, because it's a structual part. If it is hovering several metres away from you ship though, I think that would be frowned upon.

Oh well that explains it. Also I was counting on the overheating to tell me if it was blocked... but lvns don't do that. Shoot. Also is quasarrgames stealth trick to classify his ship as debris? Also I'm making a new super weapon of death. I call it the ship melter of death related doom and torture. Otherwise known as the SMDDT. The name needs some work

As soon as you battleship is done I will gladly destroy it to use it for scrap to fuel the great SC Empire.

@DarkOwl57 Good luck building! 

@ShadowGoat Just like you destroyed the F-Tech Task force for scrap? I'm sorry, that was mean of me. :D

As I've been pretty stingy with my craft files lately, I have decided to release my latest ship, the EX-12 Ares. Weirdly, I'm slightly sad to say that unless I change my mind (which I easily might :)) that it is the last ship in the EX line. Im not retiring them from active service, just not naming anymore ships with the EX heading. If you didn't know or haven't figured it out yet, I named the EX line after Gaia's twelve titan children, and well... I appear to have ran out of titans.  After I've built a few more ships, I might make an gen 2 EX line, probably the EXG2 line or something, but for now, I must say goodbye to the classification of ships that taught me how to build. ;.; (melodramatics, whoo! :D) But anyway, onto the Ares:

EX-12 Ares

The Ares is the smallest non-fighter ship in the EX line, weighing only 14.3 tons and 120 parts unloaded. Even so, it is fully armoured with capital ship grade plating. The key feature is its extreme versatility, it can fulfil the roles of anything from a Luxury Space yacht to a light freighter to a gunship, and swap between functions instantly. It accomplishes this by means of a centralised 1.25m docking port and a range of six stock modules. Due to the simplicity of the design, it is simple to create custom modules for extremely specific purposes, just start it of with a 1.25m docking port and make sure the profile isn't wider than a 1.25 part. Out of the box it comes weaponless, but I reccomend attaching two G5L Torpedoes to the radial docking ports for protection. They won't stop anything bigger than a fighter, but you don't want to be engaging anything bigger than a fighter without the weapons modules. It features a targeting sight for lining up shots with the M3 9 I-Beams attachment, and any sort of precision heading adjustments.

Specialist Modules

The files for these are in the "Payload Subassemblies" folder. To download them, highlight everything in that folder and paste them into your Subassemblies folder in the save of your choice. (This includes the G5L Torpedoes to optionally be attached to the side mounted Jr. Docking Ports)

Dropship Configuration 

Spoiler

The dropship configuration features 3 one kerbal drop pods capable of de-orbiting themselves and landing on any atmospheric body in the system. As it will likely enter hostile territory while deploying, I recommend fitting the Ares the Dual G5L Torpedoes during usage.

Passenger Transport Configuration

Spoiler

dYwEXyV.jpg

In this Configuration, the Ares gains space for four extra kerbals, be they high command, or tourists. Depending on where the passengers are being moved too, Radial G5Ls are optional. 

Deep Space Configuration 

Spoiler

VFraKGw.jpg

While in deep space mode, the EX-12 forgoes any payload or armament in favour of a large drop tank, nearly doubling its range. Useful for when the Ares is transporting itseld to a location where it will be refitted. Again, G5Ls are optional, but will lower Delta-V.

Light Freighter Configuration 

Spoiler

1W1Daoe.jpg

In this Configuration, the Ares carries ore tanks with storage for nearly 1000 units of ore, useful for transporting resources between orbital stations. G5L Torpedoes recommended for dealing with pirates.  

Patrol Configuration 

Spoiler

JfDhbiW.jpg

With this module, the Ares is loaded out with weapons geared towards destroying fighters and bombers. The pod of nine single fire I-Beams are likely to take out light fighters with one shot, and the G5L Torpedoes are perfect for taking out anything up to and including an armoured bomber. G5Ls necessary.  

"Warmonger" Configuration 

Spoiler

LFaMhXA.jpg

With this loadout, the EX-12 sacrifices all payload and non-military hardware in favour of heavy anti-captivating missiles. Replacing the relatively weak G5Ls with its big brothers, two G3 Torpedoes, (which I'm not including in the download, you'll have to make do with G4Ls <evil laugh>) and two G4H Torps capable of ripping battleships apart in one shot, the Ares takes on the role of a heavy gunship. you don't want to mess with an EX-12 in this Configuration.

Downloading

The file in the download is different in that it contains two subfolders. Download both. The folder entitled "Craft" contains the craft file, which should be pasted into your save as normal, and for the folder called "Payload Subassemblies," you should paste all its contents into the "subassemblies" folder in your save as normal.

Download: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q98oom6nhzxlpon/AADc7nLUt5wlT_XBlt2uxu8Ka?dl=0

Enjoy! :)

@ShadowGoat Wow! A black rectangle next to a black sphere set against a black sky! :D I turned up my brightness to max, and is that a shade with a makeover I see? It looks good.

I just had an idea, sort of expanding on your tournament idea a few pages back. I could set up a save that is more than a battle, more like a systemwide war with more than 2 people. It would be like everyone's who joined in faction/company and you could ally with people. It could have a rota for turns, and I'm thinking on way to big a scale. Must. Stop. :D

That's Roleplay and we've been warned to not do that again.

I like the idea of a war. I'll join whichever faction offers the best cookies :P
