So, now that I have a "Heavy" Frigate for my new fleet lineup, I need a normal Frigate to accompany it...

Mmm, yes.. this will do. :D

The SX-13 clocks in at 390 parts and 61.2 tons (with a full ammo load).

It can carry 1-2 1.25 meter missiles (maybe 3 of Zeke's new one, I dunno :P), and has 2 outer hull mounts for smaller i-beam missiles and other light weapons.

I guess... Apart from the duna battle, which is still happening, but thats already happening. We'll start ours first in the new year:cool: Ready to be REKT zekes?:sticktongue:

Don't make me bring my 1400 part boomers XD

Nice! Yeah, my missiles are nice and compact (and are in the XIV-XIIP On the ZN Download page).

So I decided to put my XXX next to Spartwo's Curtana...

And then I fired one single missile at it. Was this supposed to happen? Was it just luck? Or are my missiles really this effective? At first, I thought I hand't damaged it at all.....

You might have summoned a gyro-kraken. Large ships are especially prone to getting attacked in .90, as I have found from trying to test my SX-11 prototype, which kept having issues with exhaust deflection... ugh. :P

In any case, that XXX of yours definitely has intimidation on its side!

yeah :) from testing, my new Popper missiles destroy ANY ship in about 2 missiles or less, and the XXX carries 14 of those. She has 15 km/s D/V, meaning (if you have a lot of time on your hands) You can get anywhere in the solar system. It will not be outranged.

Only downside is it's 1500 parts, due to the large number of complex missiles (44 parts times 14) and huge amount of ION tanks (seriously, can we get some bigger tanks? Like, I have to carry around 200 ION tanks alone), which makes the already slow ion burns hour-long ordeals. Thankfully, battles won't need huge burns; that's why she has 4 LV-Ns providing WEP at about 3,000 m/s D/V.

How long is the Drek XXX?

All stats here (except TWR is wrong).. she is very large - over 35 meters long, 10 wide, 12 tall. She's unmanned, and rather than using RCS, she has a large SAS bank running down the armor (this technique was proven on the Serpent Class, which the XXX was overall partly inspired by).

I sorta tried to "copy" the tirepedos, since they weren't patented yet, and ended up with this

EDIT: New version

NOTHER EDIT: Why does the tires do this?

It's because of the suspension, there's nothing you can do about it except put it where it doesn't collide with itself. Lol we have patents now, hahah just put it down there on the side Kraken Technologies *Trademark* :D

Anyways I've got 0.90 working, I have to rebuild my ships from scratch. I can now battle propely. zekes be ready! I have a problem on the VAB I can seem to find the manual button assignment menu, where you could edit the engine control or other parts by assinging buttons 1-9 manually. where is it? can somebody help me?

It was not just luck. It's the way the ship was built. SPECIFICALLY HOW THE WHOLE STRUCTURE IS BUILT AROUND A SINGLE PANEL THAT WHEN HIT DESTROYS THE SHIP COMPLETELY THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE IT IS NEAR THE CORE MODULES DURING CONSTRUCTION. now I know my fault in building my ship. Get ready cause it is about to get real. Plus I have developed and improved my new 4 layer armor making it 5 layers in total with very low weight increase for my ship.

The action groups menu (where you assign hotkeys for functional components of your craft) is always at the top left of the editor screen, inbetween the build mode button and crew roster button. Hope this helped. :)

Yeah I found it somehow I didn't see it on the career mode. THE SUBASSEMBLY, SORT FILTER and VAB additional BUILDING TOOL IS AWESOME!

Let it begin - put up your best ships and I'll equal them :D

Or, send up a Fortuna and I'll enjoy pounding it into the ground XD

This time I will build a Battlecruiser because with the armor technology that I've got I can't apply it properly to smaller ships such as a Cruiser without sacrificing the security of the internal parts because of the default internal structure.

Don't worry this time there will be no one hit kill shot. Be ready for my new beefed up armor and this time just to make sure, I'll equip my ship with a newly developed armament. *devilish grin*

MMMMMmmmmabye?

That's hardly definitive. :P

I have some promising prototypes (i.e, I noticed interesting and *maybe* controllable effects) but I want to know whether I can even use weapons like this in the first place before I research them further.

I SHALL BE THE FIRST OF THE KRAKENMANCERS!*

*Actually, that title probably goes to Danny.
