zekes Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Yes, sadly upon closer inspection of Pherb, all the fuel and engines had been torn out, leaving a smashed hull. But the missiles were intact. However, Phineas took revenge for the loss of her sister ship; the Crakensbane was knocked out, leaving her a wreck. Her armor is breached, main weaponry gone, fuel tanks gone, and crew flung out into the darkness of space. Their lives were spared, you can send a rescue ship after the battle to pick them up, if their life support holds out long enough...EDIT I am confused though, looking at your photos of the battle, Pherb doesn't look that bad, but when i got it, it was totally wrecked... huh. En route:Lining up for a shot:Main fuel tanks are completely gone; one more shot would have torn the ship in twain down the center.Phineas used all her main SRBs, she had to return to Pherb to pick up her weaponry.Successful re-arming. Pherb is in the distance; sisters to the end.Persist: https://www./?sz56tis822ptc13 Edited April 10, 2014 by zekes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Eagle 1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 OK what range do you fire I-Beams so that they don't phase through armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 OK what range do you fire I-Beams so that they don't phase through armorhaha, excellent question. No idea, i fire most of the time 100-400m, that seems to work well with the new missiles i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daemonCaptrix Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) The reason ships look fine at the end of one person's turn but then they're exploded in a million pieces when the next person opens the save is due to physics not being present during the time you're loading up the ship to inspect it. This allows detached parts that were stuck inside the ship to clip through and float freely into space.-----------------------------------------------------------------Trident attacks KatanaKatana left Nautilus dead in the water, so her sister ship shot back.Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle cruiser!Lead strikes steel as a single volley from Trident's main gun shatters the glass cannon, Katana.Critical hit! (code for lucky shot )Trident withdrew to the relative safety of low Duna orbit.Look at that fuel bar!Persistent Edited April 10, 2014 by daemonCaptrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Eagle 1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Dont y'all hate it when a great idea gets in your head but you can't do a thing about it until much later the next day. Last night I though of a new weapon system that can reck just about any opponent. Darn shame I have to wait till after class today to build and test itOh and you can thank Scpitkitt3h for giving me this idea for the new devastating system that I like to call "Firefall" Edited April 10, 2014 by War Eagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartwo Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 The reason ships look fine at the end of one person's turn but then they're exploded in a million pieces when the next person opens the save is due to physics not being present during the time you're loading up the ship to inspect it. This allows detached parts that were stuck inside the ship to clip through and float freely into space.Nothing to do with that,some ships become 'locked' in place.Not moving physically but the velocity meter showing up the correct speed.Time warping gets the ship moving....without the locked part,Shearing it apart....the best lightest i've got is a 54 ton.What about those frigates you threw together?"Firefall"This makes me assume it's burning through the hull with sepratrons.Nah, i plan to basically reinvent the wheel, so no copying Last time someone said that they never showed(or did)anything.*Cough*Shadow Lane*cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekes Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) BATTLE UPDATEUSSZS Thresher went for another Battleship.First hit on StrangeKerb knocked off some of the forward armor panes.Second hit knocked out power to the upper lights, but otherwize did little.Third round caused an explosion in Thresher, destroying itself. Like I said, still working out the bugs.However, the fourth and fifth missiles caused substantial damage, including destroying the main core of the ship (which means that it is dead by game rules)Proof there is no main part left:Thresher went up to an ultra high orbit, as she was low on weaponry.Shattered hulk of StrangeKerb. RIP to the three crew in the cockpit, but it appears the rest of the crew is still alive, and will need rescue at the end of the battle.Persisthttps://www./?betoo6a575aaxgp Edited April 10, 2014 by zekes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
