The London/Emperor of Rodosia looks a lot bigger than it is.

go put a fighter next to it. see how big it is.

Plus it's a lot bigger than other capital ships...

We could name our flagship the Union Jack.

ok wait im sorry made a change to my fighter lineup. Two of the Burke Mk IIs have been replaced by Burke Mk IIIs.

Post on PG 15 has also been updated.

Mk IIIs are identifyable by their Target circles on the Aft section.

Are those external seats on your fighters? O_o

for prisoners/rescued Kerbals (should a ship go down).

[Sliinty]

So zekes, Ive taken a look at your fleet and a couple of things struck me:

Your fighters are all a little over 50T

Your flagship is 300T, Im afraid I dont think KIDA has anything that big at the moment, and as an aside, how the hell do you get that into orbit legit? 300T must be some kind of record.

EDIT:

For reference our biggest is about 240T, If you have something a little smaller I would prefer that, otherwise maybe make up the weight deficiency a bit with one more fighter? ours are all around 40T

1) Yeah they are quite big, but its only two tons over

2) Im surprised no one has done this yet but its modular. It goes Command, Fuel, Fuel, Engine, all under 100 tons and so are able to be launched with ease into LKO and assembled there.

3) Sure you guys can have an extra fighter. That would be fine with me.

Actually the chimera makes it up to over 280 with a complement of strike craft so that wont be necessary. My escort ships are bigger than yours at 180T (theyre Co-21Ds) is that ok?

Also I really didnt notice that it was modular! The chimera is a bit more obviously modular with all those docking ports

Well, lets see what the total weight is:

4 50 ton fighters

2 140 ton Destroyers

1 290 ton Battlecrusier

Thats 770 tons total. what's yours (cause your support ships are 40 tonnes heavier than the destroyers.)

My destroyers may be smaller but are beloved by their crews.

This seems very interesting. Could someone explain how it works? Would it be possible to join?

[camulus777]

if you plan your launch right you can get 400t into orbit the part count is just ridiculous lol. I have a 375t battleship/ 400t dreadnaught designed to fly to and from Jool and back to Jool with no refuel. Its heavy as hell and the part count is rather high but as far as an assault ship goes its amazing. It can carry 160 Kerman marines in drop pods. If this thing wanted a colony it could take it. duno if i want to give it to Hanland or allied with Spirit Wolf. I want to make Handlan a bit more capable because it seams that most of us are making ships for Spirit Wolf but that is a lot of power to give the antagonist. Would make for an awesome story though. ne suggestions?

[zekes]

160? wow... thats good. my first (and only) troop ship is a re-purposed Destroyer... carries 33 kerbals or 15 and two portable missile launchers.

[camulus777]

i will be putting the drop pod system i designed in my next submission vid as well as an upgraded Phoenix Mk V with VTOL for landing on airless moons and such. Though the current Mk II and III can already do this on the smaller moons via RCS. The Mk V looks cooler. I got rid of the tail fins to make it look totally flat. This also give the added bonus of having no obstructions at all on the top and bottom docking hardpoints. Id like to think that the Mk V is the final adaptation of my Phoenix class of orbital fighter but one can always improve. So far it fulfills all my mission parameters perfectly so im happy with it. Its cheap enough on fuel and needs no RCS at all unless its docking, a concept I've tried to adopt even in my capitol ships. So far only the largest ships would need RCS for maneuvering and only in combat for quick reaction time or for docking. Cuts weight down a bit because RCS fuel is so heavy lol.

Your destroyer may be a bit more practical too lol.

Sure What don't you understand.If you want daemon is still looking for captain sierras corpse.

Well what exactly do you do? Are there teams and stuff where you just have random battles, or is it scenarios? How can I join? Thanks!

Either make a challenge or accept an existing one.

There can be teams. It's up to the players.

There's a loose storyline going I think, but anyone can play custom scenarios.

[ZingidyZongxxx]

Thanks, I'll give it a shot in a little while.

What challenges are there currently?

Edited August 6, 2013 by ZingidyZongxxx

[Spartwo]

Under the heading scenarios but if you know what you want to do go for it.

[daemonCaptrix]

I'm ready to give up on Captain Sierra.

Who wants to do a medium-sized engagement? Maybe fleet vs. fleet in Mun orbit?

Edit:

I just completed a new battleship class that doubles as a carrier if anyone wants to do a carrier engagement.

[Sliinty]

My total sits at 785. We should be just fine.

[Comrade Jenkens]

Sliinty: You better have a better PC than me!!! Mine dropped to 0.01 fps looking at that thing!!!

[Sliinty]

The KIDA fleet is now in position.

Just a couple of beauty shots:

Composition:

2x RT Hardshell Turtle, TDN Guardian and TDN Oak

2x L-153 Scarab, TDN Ash and TDN Brute

2x Co-21D, TDN Kerberus and TDN Persephone

1x Chimera Class, TDN Hades

TDN Hades is carrying 3 fireflies, one of which has an extension pack. The fireflies sit already deployed, just behind Hades as shown in the second image.

Persistence

Ill wager this is one of the largest fleet battles ever simulated in ksp.

[Spartwo]

probably,definitely in stock.

[Comrade Jenkens]

Wow!! The chimera has definatly evolved since I saw the first version of it.

[Sliinty]

I can tell you that the hangar needs some reworking... docking fighters in there summons the kraken... but it has other ports.
