After a kraken attack consumed the Swordfish (literally everything but the cone on the back of the cockpit is just gone lol) The Sardine moved to engage the Jarvare. Having lost our largest weaponry in the opening of the engagement, drone controllers back at KSC decided the only solution would be strategic attacks against the heavily armored ships of the enemy fleet.

Moving to the rear of the Jarvare the Sardine opened up at point blank with 3 unguided missiles, knocking off comms equipment, 2 engines, destroying a fuel tank, and blowing open a section of the armor protecting the engine compartment.

Seizing the opportunity, the Sardine maneuvered to the exposed side of the Jarvare and fired it's last unguided missile, tearing through what was left of the engine compartment and effectively immobilizing the enemy vessel.

(also created some random explosion off in the distance lol)

YOUR MOVE!

ya i forgot that people like to practicaly get up right next to you to fire. I should start requesting a minimum range of of 300m. 40m is a bit cheap.

Not that you are cheating or that you are breaking the rules its just a sence or realism for my. you are in no way at fault.

the damaging shots actually were from a little further away, the volley of 2 that i sent from 40m....well one knocked off comms stuff, and the other actually got stopped by an engine without doing any damage lol

and for a minimum range, i personally think like maybe 100m or 150m would be good for future battles. 300 its gonna be almost impossible to hit any weakspot smaller than one of those 2x2 panels, and that would be if you were really good lol.

[camulus777]

if you use zoom a 300m its very possible to hit but 140 allows people to snipe right down the back end of an engine compartment with no problem. Te point for me is to avoid the whoever goes first wins scenario. 300m allows you to still hit the ship just fine.

Red II moves in to intercept one of the drones and fires all four missiles 1st hit the armor no damage, 2nd missed and struck ike, 3rd struck the front hull and rattled something, 4th hit toward the back end and dislodged the engines.

(They should change the Stress Tolerance of the heavier engines, they fall of way to easy. I didn't even hit them directly I hit the armor around them.)

Then I landed Red II on the planet just to see if i could.

Is that a Pheonix?

[camulus777]

yes it's the space launch version. Mk VII can land on moons and fly in atmo just not land in atmo very easily. I might make a Mk VIII that has VTOL jets and lighter landing gear. Still ssto ish.

I also gave them all that paint scheme and now they look sexier than ever.

Well on the one hand, i guess that means the armor works!

and how about 200m firing minimum? (for next time we battle or something)

[camulus777]

i think 4 struts to the engines would prevent that from happening as often.

[BrightBritches]

just looked at the ship, you almost entirely cleaned out the inside of it, without damaging a single armor panel O_o

[camulus777]

lol and i thought i was doing nothing to it. Did you have struts from the armor to the innerds?

[BrightBritches]

I have them strutted to the frame on the inside. but its not like they broke off, they're just gone lol

[camulus777]

gone? the insides? Unless they broke off and got warped away they should not be gone. There should be some bits floating about.

[camulus777]

is my ship dead yet

[BrightBritches]

is my ship dead yet

Why yes, yes it is

The Sardine maneuvers into position in front of the Hangthier and deploys a guided torpedo.

And scores a direct hit! Pretty sure that she wont be doing much more after that lol.

Also found this little gem floating about in the wreckage, so i took the liberty of topping off the Sardine

Persistance

[camulus777]

ah i see where exactly did you it it?

[BrightBritches]

right down the front, between the missiles

[camulus777]

ahhh yes now i see.

[BrightBritches]

and the whole thing just sort of peeled open like a banana

[camulus777]

with one missile?

[zekes]

and the whole thing just sort of peeled open like a banana

Did you hit it end-to end I know there's one of his ships that can peel like that

[BrightBritches]

with one missile?

yep, just one

@zekes i just hit it in the front really hard and it kinda went boom

[camulus777]

well ill give you a choice. i used my red two and flew over to the wreck of my corvette to pick up 2 missiles. now i have two armed ships and you have one missile.

Do you want me to play the turn, or call it a game.
