Naval Battle League 2016-2018

[Vanamonde]

This doesn't belong in the Challenges section, guys. It's a game and it's been in this subforum since the subforum was created, so this is where people will go to look for it. 

[Spartwo]

@Vanamonde
Not always, one of the old threads was moved I believe to here from challenges.

But as that is the case should

 

and

not be in the forum games section then due to being based on identical premises.

In addition to the plethora of BD dogfight threads on the exact same basis which I won't link all of because it will clog up the page.

Oh... I thought this was a challenge. Ok then! Might want to enter. Looks fun!

[Vanamonde]

Oh, alright.

This thread, and other combat-based threads, are challenges in the sense that it's not easy to make an effective and versatile craft. So there is a challenge aspect to them, even if there's also a bit of a 'forum games' aspect to them too.

[MiffedStarfish]

Yay! 

Readies the fleet

[SG Aero]

So are we getting moved? Because I would be quite irritated if nothing became of this thread. Just watch as all the other battle threads are moved here.

EDIT: Just checked the location, and HECK YEAH.

The ShadowGoat fleet is preparing its self for battle. Around kerbin of course because the whole kerbnet thing makes it hard to do space battles.

I just turn it off in settings. 

Also, shouldn’t it be Naval Battle League 2016-2017-2018 now? 

[Spartwo]

It should, good point miffed.


I've got some funky modular ships to lose horribly with.

I’ll fight you. My fleet is still horribly outdated, so this should go well.

[Spartwo]

Alright, 4 ships, 200 tons, LKO?

[Thor Wotansen]

Oh my, I might have to update my fleet.  I also might have to update the laws of physics so my computer can handle my fleet.

Hmm, the fleet is looking a bit short on warships.

[Piatzin]

I should probably start investing time into a vacuum-based fleet. I have enough atmospheric craft.

I'm thinking something with light armor and smaller weapons, but with the capability to land on planets. (Not Kerbin, but something as big as Duna, hopefully....)

[SG Aero]

My only updated warship is about 87 tons, probably more after I update it to a more practical version. How about 300 tons, 3-4 ships?

[Spartwo]

Yea, alright. Lemme arrange some modules while you set up.

[SG Aero]

Can we schedule it for sometime tomorrow? Turns out I have a school thing so I won’t have time to give my ship a pilot or a passable fuel amount.

[Spartwo]

I'll go ahead then

[SG Aero]

Alright. What ships are you bringing?

[Spartwo]

I have to build them first.

[Spartwo]

The modular fleet prepares...(link)

Cool! Those ships look awesome! I’ll get my turn up in a few hours. Beware that I will strike first, as my kerbals have learned to do that from the ruthless way I “scientifically” execute them.

Those actually look really good.  Normally not a fan of circular cross sectional designs, but i gotta hand it to you on the aesthetics which really look good.  What are those things on the side of 2nd picture with radiators, some sort of missiles?

 

Also, is there a particular reason you use vectors so much as your main engine of choice on capitals?  I tend to prefer nukes as they let me have a 100t ship's firepower and armor in a 60t package and still having more dV.  I see them being useful if live MP ever became a thing (which is seriously doubtful), but outside of hitboxes being against the nuke (they tend to get shot off nomatter how well you armor em), there really isnt a reason (at least for me) to use any LFO engines in capitals unless i want to make something with low tech or whatnot like pirate vessels or for primitive factions that have in universe reasons they cant use nukes.

[SG Aero]

Huh. Either @Spartwo has an outdated game or I have an outdated game. I can’t update so I think it’s you.
