I don't think so... it still happens with my ships that have only liquid-fueled guided missiles.

Weird. Perhaps it has something to do with propellant masses being incorrectly calculated? Hmm...

Also, anyone still participating in the Duna battle can place their ships; I already put the persist up.

Ej, your battleship is off to a good start. It's good that it has lots of interior space but have you considered using modular girders for the frame? Fuel tanks are likely to be destroyed and a girder frame could keep the structure of the ship together. I can see that the back center is a serious weak point. Fire from the back and destroy the fuel tank and the whole ship is dead.

Yeah, I guess thats true. I have a habit of building around fuel tanks to increase fuel capacity. I started doing that with my old carrier:

Just sat here.

Listening to 'Rule Britannia!"

Over... and over.

It made me want to conquer and civilise something.

Anyway, I have been building a new frigate, essentially a smaller, lighter version of 'Victory' (I'm going to call it the 'Endymion' class), I'll post again when it's finished.

What the heck did I just watch.

Magic.

Hehe.

Also, deep from within my prototype labs, I pull out the Ã…Âsuzumebachi.

Screenshots are a mix of various prototypes. I'm deploying this on the DDH Izumo, with a potential upgrade to carry four missiles. Pretty darn maneuverable, and extremely fast in vtol mode.

If squad adds stock rotors, I'll finally be able to replicate this scene.

Yeah actually the old fighter is kind of obsolete anyway. I just thought it was funny that someone else used the same name. :P

Hehe. I actually had a few relatives in the IJN, so I decided to run with a Japanese theme. :D

(Though it wasn't by choice. :P At least my grandfather studied law in Japan. XD )

And my grandmother lived in Japan before and during WWII. XD She still starts rambling in Japanese when she gets mad. :P:)

Anyways, I'll try making this ship as a long term project. I'm still working out deeper recessed VLS cells with better exhaust control.

I've also still got to perfect the COGLAG or CODGAG propulsion system in my ships.

It actually wasn't part of a Japanese theme. I named my space fighters after bugs.

You'll get plenty of variety with Australian (aka Terminator) bugs. :P

I'm starting to plan out the hull configuration of the warship. Trying to reduce hydrodynamic drag is going to be a challenge. :)

I suppose the Duna battle is now permanently on hold? Alas, for I was looking forward to it...

Do you still have 0.25? Do you want to battle with me? Let's go one on one what do you think? I was thinking 300 tons just the same. I was thinking the Duna Battle was going to take some time. I prefer fast paced game.

Sadly, no, and even though I could in theory download it again, I just updated all of my ships and I would hate to play with obsolete designs. It is rather unfortunate that the only other player who seems as eager to battle as me is stuck on an older version. :(

due to irl, i dont always have time to be on ksp so i dont ever have time to design/redisign ships, so its gonna be a while before i have good enough designs for mobilisation to duna. why not we just go back to our 1 on 1 three? 5 people takes too long.

Really sorry, I would but I had a minor operation on my wrist yesterday (to drain a ganglion cyst) and I can't exactly play KSP for a few days. I'll try to set up my ships today, since Hyperediting them in place doesn't really take two handed coordination. You can go first and by the time that's done I'll probably be good to go.

New 180 ton battleship I might try out:

Since y'all are making bigger battleships I thought I'd have a go. Part count is the only issue. (it's almost 900 parts)

Zamo, I'll clean out the mods from my copy of 0.25 and I'll battle you. Does anyone know if designs built in 0.90 are backwards compatible provided they avoid using Mk3 parts?

She's beautiful, what's her armament? and fuel count?

As I know, as long as you don't use new parts in 0.90 then it should be fine. But let's try it first, send me a persist where you deploy ships built in 0.90 without the new parts.

The ship has 6 1.25m guided missiles that are an upgrade of my standard missiles. Same mass, but higher delta-V, better damage, and an RTG so they don't run out of power. There is 4590 liquid fuel and the delta-V is about 2100 m/s. I was able to load it in 0.25 by changing the version number at the beginning of the craft file, but all the struts and fuel lines were broken. Need to fix them before I'm ready.

Hmm... I'm going to need larger VLS cells on the 25DD. The KDX 3 VLS cells are already at their limit, and the SM 3 is a rather long missile.

Or I might just designate the rear cells as J VLS cells.

I gave up on the QE class aircraft carrier (part count was the main issue) and instead I've decided to build one of these:

Make sure not to sail without antifreeze. :D

Ack--that does not sound fun. Sorry for the impatience; it just seems like everything possible is occurring to delay the start of this battle, which leaves me sitting here with nothing to do, because I have no life.:D

I have a bad feeling that our final engagements will pit several massive vessels against one another...I can already imagine my computer bursting into flames as it tries to render 2000 parts on-screen at once.

Also, I just realized that the current iteration of my fighter is over forty percent armament by mass...At least it still gets decent delta-v due to ions.
