Go for it. (I need to see how well it works against large weapons. I will improve with the test data.) Could you also test out my destroyer while you're at it. It's survive 2 large srb torpedoes hitting it at broadside at the same time through multiple volleys, according to Mr. Tegu himself.

Note that this armor doesn't employ my traditional centralized spine armor, but a new layout. It is utilizing a new construction method I call hybrid armor, due to the i beam branches the fuel tank is armored with.

Okay, I will do it tomorrow, for now I should sleep, it's quite late here.

[andrew123]

WTF

I think I may have found a physics exploit.

[Spartwo]

Speed!(at least by boat standards)

I got 99 tons and a pod ain't one:D

@ScriptKitt3h still waiting on you to make your move by the way (in case you forgot, if not then I apologize for my lack of patience which is rivaled by a squirrel)

[Megalodon 720]

@andrew123, i couldn't download the destroyer but i could download the 'Prowler', so i fired a close broadside into it's hull. The core survived and was still attached to the ship but it was completely immobile due to the loss of engines and fuel, it also ran out of power because it's generators were blown off.

It's ok, I got preoccupied this weekend, so I'll move tonight. Also, your ships took two shredder missiles in testing.... and no damage.

:/

Nice job!

I understand how that is, just wanted to make sure it hadn't slipped your mind, so take your time!

And that's really unexpected that they took no damage, we might just end up out of ammo with ships still alive

[andrew123]

I have a link to that destroyer that works. Darn dropbox and its changes.

Here's the part light version with my experimental armor: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgv0f7ky50k0asc/UNSC%20Sky%20Breaker%20MKII%20CA.craft

Here's the original part heavy ship that mr. tegu tested. It has some outdated weapons that I retired: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pekxo375fgpwhuc/UNSC%20The%20Heart%20of%20Midlothian.craft

I can make the propulsion system more stable, and I will put some more generator units in more secure spots. Did the hull escape unscathed?

A single panel was knocked off but that's it.

[andrew123]

I guess the hybrid armor is one of my favorites now. Drastically reduced part count with more internal space.

Everyone stop naming your missiles shredders.

I need more intakes.

Once the rear engines are activated there isn't enough inflow to fuel the engines, which causes a crash akin to it's inspiration (slowly falling and leaning to the side trying to maintain altitude and heading)

Oh...wait it's just Zekes, you use his missiles.

[andrew123]

My ship shaker torpedo I posted on the previous page has a strange resemblance to a series 5 tactical unit. I also resurrected .5 m torpedo development for my bladerunner class prowler warship in my secret labs.

I would test the barrage against the new destroyer.

Does anyone care to see the mistral? It is being prepared for sea trials.

Here is a real life picture.

Hi all,

Can I join? I made some ships that I think are pretty good. I tested them out against a bunch of old ships put up here, and the Kraken fleet some 10 pages back. Here's my destroyer and cruiser.

They work well most of the time and the armor is hard to penetrate but when a shot does make it through the whole thing just basically explodes. Any tips on how to prevent this?

[Megalodon 720]

My ships do the same, in fact it's quite hard to prevent without a complete redesign of the ships. Your best bet is to make the armour impenetrable like my Temeraire's armour.

I had the same problem with my VTOL, try adding thrust limits to the rear engines.

[Megalodon 720]

How much does your helicarrier weigh? I know that in an earlier post you said:

Dayum, thats 20 more than mine.

were you referring to the carrier?

[astecarmyman]

They are awesome, i'm going to guess that they latch on to their prey.

If you can't beat em, take control of them and make them fight for you >

It'll be real hard for your battle ships to knock out an attached parasite without damaging the assimilated prey hehe...

Also can I have the craft file for your Temeraire? I really need a ship to test out my experimental weapons on...

How did your fleet manage against my Kraken Fleet

The only real threat the Kraken fleet had were the quadruple SRB cannons of the Kraken and

Wraiths ramming into your ships. I really need to redesign my weapons ;_;

[Megalodon 720]

Certainly, here:

That's not gonna do jack **** more intakes like I said.

I need more intakes

Reducing the thrust is nothing but detrimental to the craft.

I was referring to this.

The carrier weighs a couple hundred.

[Megalodon 720]

Damn, i will have the heaviest VTOL:P

[Megalodon 720]

I have made the most beautiful and most manoeuvrable jet in KSP. I haven't named it yet so any suggestions would be grateful. Here's a download, it will surprise you with it's nimbleness.

Little picture. Notice how tight the contrail is.

What is this "hybrid" armor?

[astecarmyman]

Does this count as destroyed?

Well, considering I'm probably gonna mount multiple of these new warheads It probably does...

Launched from 180m away at the target indicator. (central probe)

Edit: I know the picture is bad, but basically the missile split the ship in half exposing the delicate internals to just about any

fighter's ordinance.
