daemonCaptrix Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Also, we should be allowed to rotate the opponents ship to the desired angle just to save ourselves a ~3km trip each turn.... Unless you turn up in something with no delta v, in which case I will want to see evidence of you achieving the impossible.No. It's a defensive strategy to position a ship in a hard to reach position.

She's gone into combat once, won it, let's make it 2-2 Course it's not a capital ship, it's a Medium Cruiser... but it's all in the wording Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tegu Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 No. It's a defensive strategy to position a ship in a hard to reach position.but all that means is we'll end up flying in 1000m radius circles around each other each turn, the delta v required to reposition is almost nothing, its just a pain in the arse to do it each turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tegu Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 @ Zekes, I want to do it dumb fire only too, not much point dictating range if you can guide the sucker in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 @ Zekes, I want to do it dumb fire only too, not much point dictating range if you can guide the sucker in..ok. The Pocket Missiles can be dumb fired, they have dual fuction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tegu Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 yeah, putting a probe on the missile makes sense cause it simplifies the firing sequence. Just post a pic showing it was fired dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tegu Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Can someone help me with this?I'll try and set one up tomorrow, have you got a link to the mod? I'm really keen to try out multiplayer ( puts backwards pointing engines on all his designs) so I'd love to ge this working but I doubt I'll have any more luck than you did.

Mr Tegu Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's just so much easier to turn the target ship than fly around it.. We can try another where we are strictly pointed at each other and reduce the range each turn, to simulate 2 ships closing. at 1000m there's not much chance of us scoring any hits end to end.

zekes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wow... that was a close shot. USSZS Riley Lets looses the first shot; it proves good.Pocket Missile hit on the 2nd to last armor panel of the Bismark. Result:The pilot got this shot out the cockpit viewport:Looks like the missiles are gone, but I can't be sure. Next shot will go up the barrel and hopefully kill it completely.http://www./?zzgm7i54bq7adww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tegu Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 yeah, you took out all the ammo, could reload 1 stack, buts its pretty screwed:As for my turn:There's 3 mini missiles still attached to whats left, but you cant steer it..guess its a draw again?persist: http://www./?2bgvoc04f7j1j2g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 yeah, I'd say that drek is not a total loss, but definitely needs some help.
