I'm just now getting into designing military vessels. Seeing the rest of the ships here, I feel scared :s

V Anybody want to fight this? Or use it and tell me how well it performs? V

It has manned fighters as well as drone fighters, although I feel the drone ones are the only ones that are useful. Far less cumbersome.

I will recommend having most, if not all munitions inside the hull, and using i-beams as the cores of your .5 meter munitions.

Also, the RT-10 SRB booster still works well, but is only suitable for use against heavily armored capital ships or other ships that shrug off

smaller shots. You may also want to try making torps and missiles that accelerate very quickly, as they tend to pierce (clip through partially) armor easily and detonate fuel tanks.

Thing is though you don't have to utterly destroy you target for it to be a kill. All you got to do is hit your target just right

Ask any deer hunter (me included) that the most clean kill is one done in one shot

Edit: plus most cannon ships are hard to armor real well. They are designed for superior firepower at the sacrifice of armor

So, I decided to test out my SX-1 against some Probe-Tek and daeCorp ships...

Initial results:

SX-1 v. Katana:

SX-1 v. Hatchet:

SX-1 v. DSCV Trident:

daeCorp's armor on its larger vessels is... top-notch, to say the least.

Spartwo, you may want to up-armor your cannon ships. If 4 i-beams can wreck 'em, a MAC shot

or SRB salvo certainly will.

You're gonna have to catch it first and seeing as max range from kerbin is an orbit around Eeloo(compared to high orbit for a Trident),I think you're gonna have a bad time.

Spartwo, you have six ships. xD

Which one are we not going to count?

What are there two of?

My cannons do as much damage as missiles.

I have to limit throttle to 52.5 to keep still.Weren't you wondering why I was above the target once I finished firing?And that's why I'm probably scrapping it.

EDIT:I'll check the Trident to be fair.

New Drone Added to my donation list. Any noobs want it?

[daemonCaptrix]

There are two Broadswords and two Javillens [sic]. (should be "Javelin"). But you also have your big and medium cannon ships.

Edit: Please tell me which one to discount so I can make my move?

Edited April 7, 2014 by daemonCaptrix

[Spartwo]

Does the .craft still say Javillen?Even though 3 of the 4 craft used are now outdated,and preferable to change loadout,but it's too late to change(New broadsword.Fixed missiles,lighter mass,better looking)Get rid of the Broadsword with all the missiles.

EDIT:Yep,I'll fix that.

Edited April 7, 2014 by Spartwo

[daemonCaptrix]

If your missiles are broken, we can start over. Load new ships in place of the ones you have. The original persistence file is still up.

[Spartwo]

Thanks,you can fix some stuff too if you want.

MT-11 Transport performing a VTOL landing on Ike...

So, is anyone up for a battle?

Rules would be :

4 Ships per team:

2 Fighters

2 Mid-Large Size ships

(No Carriers)

Max Weight: 150 tons

*No 1000-part monstrosities*

Location: Vall

//Also, Spartwo, I tested your cannon ships a little more. It looks like your armor's got a weak spot in an area in the mid-section, and that otherwise it actually is very tough.//

Again

Would if I could

Gosh I want to

[Spartwo]

Okay fixed Persist

Those K-drives are like high explosives if anything hits them:P

And then I got carried away.

Look at that back end:).

EDIT:That gives me an idea,I might be a while.

You turned off debris again...

Edit: You killed my generators on Mantis Leader, so just for fun I tried to use the nuke engine to power it. I got soooo close, but I can't aim, so I'm going to attack with a different one. lol

------------------------------------------------

My actual turn. lol

With Mantis Leader out of the game, Mantis One moved. I went after the correctly-spelled Javelin.

The missiles on that arch thingy missed. They went wide from the ship spinning as they launched. Two more missiles hit. The first one took out the Javelin's front torpedo. The second one knocked the second torpedo off and destroyed the control module for the ship, leaving it dead.

Seeing the Javelin dead, Mantis One helped itself to some fuel.

Ooh... One of the torpedoes is still intact. Thanks!

Ok, so tomorrow the Battle of Vall begins between me and War Eagle 1.

Hold on to your butts.

We both agreed that if we need to end the battle with no win/loss or take extended brakes if needed.

Also, I'd like to say that if I lose, I will donate an SX-1 Corvette to Project Genesis.

I'm nice like that.

OHHH wagers huh. I will see you corvette and rase you my Trinity Class Frigate

I've been working on my ground fleet. If anyone wants to do a surface battle, now's the time to build some tanks and planes while I'm busy with Spartwo!

I may have to take you up on that once I finish with War Eagle 1. However, that may be a while.

Any tips on making good tanks?

Tips?

-Keep your centre of mass as low as possible.

-Make the wheels far apart like with any rover so you don't flip while driving.

-Missiles will dip toward the ground when you release them. Try adding folding landing gear that comes down to angle your tank slightly when aiming a shot.

-Make sure to have a Kerbal on your tank to repair wheels.

-Don't drive too fast!

Edit:

Mah tanks!

So Panfish, should we continue?

If not I'm up for a friendly match with any other willing Ladies and Gentlemen of the group.

[Comrade Jenkens]

Still very slowly working on rebuilding my military so I can compete again.

[Spartwo]

There's always the CO-PT-Wilhelm.The only gunship I made which I'm happy with.

[zekes]

Still very slowly working on rebuilding my military so I can compete again.

I am also rebuilding, I have no ships ready to fight at all, except some old 15-2 Dreks and Heavy Drek XIVs, neither of which has the range or maneuverability i want... I shall make a smaller pocket force designed around long range and quick maneuvering.
