You can make a door with hinges and docking ports. It just takes around twenty more parts.

Asteroids are indestructible I tested that first.

Without crashing them, the only way in how I have managed to destroy an asteroid is with use of Antimatter tanks in the Interstellar mod

[Spartwo]

I just crashed one into Tylo at 2100m/s(boing)

Hey. I'd totally join this but I don't know how this works. Can someone fill me in in a PM?

Read the OP.

[Giggleplex777]

So, has anyone tried to use an asteroid?

I don't think so. They're awfully heavy. Probably wouldn't fit into the mass limit.

[War Eagle 1]

After first initial test, my alternative rules for carriers seem rather enjoyable. It defiantly puts a new twist on battles

I ll do another battle with myself after finals.

In the mean time, try them out for yourself

[Spartwo]

I can't choose between these two screenshots.

\EDIT:I chose the one still here.

I've just started to think about the design of my fleet and I was woundering if light fighters are effective at all? Or is their lack or armor too much of a detriment?

[War Eagle 1]

Ok just testing the waters here

Would anybody else be interested in doing massive battle

Im talking 10-15 ships one each side

But to make it more interesting, we only start off with 3. Then when it gets down to one ship left, a wave of 5 comes in. After that, when it gets down to 3 ships, another wave come in. We do that until 10-15 ships have been on the field for each team. Last ship standing that is combat efficient wins.

To make it more interesting, debris is left on

Edit: I'm thinking a battle like this would need to take place around Moho, Eeloo, Jool, Laythe, or Kerbin

All depends on how you play. Everybody has their own ship building, and fighting style

Edit: also if you were to battle me and we used my alternative carrier rules (or the thread carrier rules in general) light fighters are critical

Spartwo wins battles with the early moves he makes with his light fighters. I use medium-ish fighters. They're not really worse than capital ships since they use the same weapons.

[War Eagle 1]

Ok so I just put some more though into how a large scale battle could be done

each side gets a total of 15 ships

each side gets to use 5 fighters or light ships (less than 50 tons), 5 medium ships (50.1-80) 4 heavy ships (80.1+) and one carrier (or 5 heavy and no carrier)

each side starts off by placing 3 ships.

Players can bring in a wave of new ships (4 max per wave) at any time. Doing so though forfeits a turn (meaning you have to think long and hard about when you wish to do it)

to fix the issue of weight order due to waves, players must go in order of 1 light, 1, medium, 1 heavy

If a player does not bring in a wave and all his/her ships are destroyed, they lose. Meaning you have to bring in a wave before your last ship gets destroyed.

Last ship in fighting condition wins.

this type of fighting style would be done to push players to the limits or strategic thinking as well as time, patience, and will power

Places like Kerbin, Jool, and Eve would be awesome to do this at because players can spread their ship around with ease.

What do y'all think?

[zekes]

Ill take my turn as soon as I'm done obsessing over this game...

[Spartwo]

Whats wrong with it?

[Spartwo]

Since Broadswords became VTOLs a craft with less d/v, munitions, maneuverability that also looks worse lost it's appeal. It's also because mk4 electrons won't fit.

A round which is .02 times as heavy as the previous for a clip only .005 heavier, an impact tolerance upped by 1 and a smaller profile makes me fall in love with the round again. They're more suited to turn based engagements as the optimum firing distance is probably going to be further than 60m.

So unless anyone want's it I'll be demissioning it(donations).

[War Eagle 1]

I take it everyone is busy studying like I am?

[Spartwo]

I spent the last hour or two of the weekend.

Leading the charge is the most generic fighter I could make.
