I need to get it back, I love that mod so much.

I issue you all a challenge

[Megalodon 720]

Still getting to grips with the new wings, for me at least they're completely ruined.

Frozen_Heart, prepare yourself. The ships Pride of Aurerra and Kiternyae are complete. Just making sure the ships are mod-free before I send the persistance file...

Should be good tomorrow.

That last (3rd) ship seems oddly familiar... I ran into an abandoned hulk of similar design in DMP once, and I had to deorbit it to help in a orbital cleanup Op.

Also, I'm not gone from KSP, just taking my time working on new craft... and getting busy with IRL stuff more and more so.

That's odd. I assure you, though, that the craft is original, or at least, I was not influenced in any manner during it's construction.

I just found an old drawing... there's a reason this never made it past paper

EDIT: IT LIVES! AT ONLY 550 parts!

The Drek XIX pic doesn't work :/

That carrier looks beautiful though! Whats its dV?

[Megalodon 720]

I just thought up plans for a ship armed with 7 impalers, three on the side and one at the front.

Then I realised that they're 55 parts each.

[AlexanderTeaH]

Alright, after my somewhat disappointing first battle, I've patched up my Frigate Mk III to what it's now known as the 'B' version. Below are the before and after pic's.

As you can see I've added more plating and even double plating in some areas, in particular, the side fuel tanks. I've also added 6 more weapon ports on the sides.

You can no longer obliterate it when firing from the bottom.

Nor from that side.

And the engine's are also much better protected now.

Looks a little tougher to crack. Also, that last impaler in our battle must have gone into the stern and out of the bow, the missile was destroyed but when I looked at the frigate's wreckage there are no probes or ships. Just debris.

Ah, I'll add some armour inside the ship as well, then.

[RocketscientistV]

Ok Zekes. My ships are in orbit around pol 5 ships if you want and 800 part limit.

Operation Aurerran Storm

3 ships, 2 with a 50 ton limit, 1 at 175 tons.

My side of the fleet is in orbit now.

Persistent

I await your ships.

444 parts and 270 tons?!! You call that a frigate?!

[RocketscientistV]

Sorry, I don't normally build big ships.

do you mean 800 tonne limit? Because my 120 tonne dreks are 550 parts, and my 200 tonne carrier is 960

Hooray you fixed it.

[RocketscientistV]

Sorry, I meant tonnes.

[zekes]

Sorry, I meant tonnes.

Okay, cool I'll set up and take my turn later today

EDIT: I'm gonna use a carrier, is that okay?

Edited October 27, 2014 by zekes

[Megalodon 720]

Great, now I feel the urge to make a carrier again.

I'll be back after countless rubbish attempts and failed ships.

EDIT:

This seemed like a good idea.

[zekes]

The only real use of a carrier is long rang weapons delivery. Let me explain:

fighters are a carrier's primary means of weapons delivery, but fighters often lack the offensive firepower to kill other capital ships; so many times a carrier is like a huge, heavy fighter with a tiny bite.

BUT! If you use a carrier like a weapons platform, and the fighters are really only a means of launching the heavy weapons, it essentially means the carrier can sit in an orbit, and "fire" missiles (via the fighters) from millions of kilometers away...because the fighter is carrying the missile.

[AlexanderTeaH]

Would anyone like to test their weapons against my frigate?

EDIT:

I'd like to see what kind of weapons this ship isn't immune to (you can rule out basic I-Beam weapons right away).

That's what my carrier, "Frigate", is doing, which is good because I forgot to put RCS on it.

That ship takes about 10 years to turn around and once you try to stop it shook apart:(
