War Eagle 1 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Am I the only one having trouble building a dreadnought that doesn't lag my computer to death?I run a Mac and my dreadnaught only has 390 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew123 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Introducing, the Stalwart Class light frigate.The armament includes a maximum of six super heavy torpedoes and 32 canister enclosed skirmish ranged missiles. The ranged weapons system offers effective destructive power in long and short ranged engagements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallingIntoBlack Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) How many parts is it?Well, it'll be over 500 now that I had to add on to it. It is a nightmare to build. I'd say that about a quarter of the parts is armament alone. Edited October 7, 2013 by FallingIntoBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallingIntoBlack Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Dang we may have to have a dreadnaught battle after me and daemonCaptrix have oneOh come on, you'd win. Even if I have superior firepower, you're a veteran. I've never fought. If and when I get more experience, maybe we'll battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never fought.Ive only had one battle and you got to start somewhere. My first battle was the one I did with SpartwoPlus you can set up your own battles to practiceIf you have hyper edit you can put up two (or more) ships to practice battling. It also helps to quicksave before you attack during practice (can doing during real battle) Edited October 7, 2013 by War Eagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, zekes tells me you're actually really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew123 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 YES! I got a fully functioning 320 ton 580 part ship. The SLV will be the final hurdle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallingIntoBlack Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I'm the only person I know of who could make a Cruiser that's 500 parts and ~180 tons.EDIT: zekes was helping to test my Vindicator's armor and weapons. The Vindicator broke the E-Class in half several times. Edited October 7, 2013 by FallingIntoBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Eagle 1 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Is my ship a dreadnought?accoring to this quote You have to be careful when you fire at a distance cause the physics can just fart and the projectile goes through the target doing no damage. As far as building large ships its a matter of knowing what they are going to be used for. I may even go as far as to assign tonnage for ship classes and see if Macey likes the idea. That way he can say ok your corp can have this much tonnage worth of ships so this many light fighters, that many corvettes, this many cruisers, etc... because on my save i have 26 capitol ships in orbit with 50 fighter craft and more support craft than i know what to do with. I will not want to deal with much crap and i doubt Macey would too. So I'm gona make a list starting with fighters and bombers.Light fighters < 8.1tMedium fighters 8.1 - 13tHeavy fighters 13.1 - 27tbombers 27.1 - 35tAttacker 35.1 - 40tCorvette 40.1 - 50tFrigate 50.1 - 65tDestroyer 65.1 - 80tCruiser 80.1 - 100tBattle Cruiser 100.1t - 150tBattleship 150.1 - 200tDreadnaught 200.1 < Carriers Light < 50.1tMedium 50.1 - 100tHeavy 100.1 - 150tSuper Heavy 150.1 <Hows that look. That's just a rough estimation. I revised this approach so that people can classify the ship as whatever they want.Light Attack Ship= 0-30Ultra Light= 30-65Light= 65-120Medium= 120-250Capitol Ship= 250-400Super Heavy Capitol Ship= 400+yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallingIntoBlack Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Well the archangel (one of my ships from battle of pol) is a cruiser that was 90 tons and has less than 400 partsCool. Anyways, the only reasons why you killed an E-Class in the first place is that you were at 2 km away, and the only way dumbfire missiles would hit from that distance is if you used MechJeb to aim or got super lucky. Also, apparently, the Vindicator is a long-range powerhouse. Edited October 7, 2013 by FallingIntoBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Eagle 1 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 As promised here is a test run of the RaptureFor this test I decided to use the weaker SRB missiles Shot FiredAnd hitThis is all that remains So as you can see, even though the Rapture Class Dreadnaught is not as armored as the e-class, she can be extremely devastatingthis is 370m2km shot a guided shot and I haven't repeated the shot sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallingIntoBlack Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 this is 370m2km shot a guided shot and I haven't repeated the shot senseOkay, a 370 meter shot like that seems a bit more realistic.You probably got lucky with that guided shot from 2 km.
