I'm glad to see you're getting back into space, Spartwo. Perhaps we will have to battle each other again sometime.

Meanwhile, I'm making this beauty... Sneak peek from early production. She's mostly done now; weighs 155 tonnes. I still need some fighters and all the equipment for them too, those will go in the "barrel."

What about X-2 ventures? they're really cool.

I just haven't seen anyone battle you in space in forever :P I know you've still got really formidible designs...

Where do i get X-2 Ventures?

Well, the amount of things in the cooker has gone down so I'm game if you are. I've got a solution to the launcher issue so that just leaves an upgraded scythe and some half done things to do.

The X-2 were made for ZS but not by you. It was one of those ships which were abandoned that I liked so much that I maintained them for personal use. I'll PM you.

Oh, alright, if you like them they're good enough for me :D Do you know how good the missiles are?

After hours of experimentation, this is the best missile I came up with:

A simple, three part, 1.5 tonne missile that punches through armor and mangles the internals.

Ground test shows that it outperforms zekes' Drek missiles, but I've yet to test them in combat (or in space for that matter).

Giggle, you make me laugh... i want to see that thing against a Drek XD

BTW does anyone know how to solve bad cases of part clipping? my carrier is stuck with a clipped fighter and i have no way of deleting it

Do you mean that bug that kills craft files or like the SAS unit which was stuck inside the Tropis for over a year? One way you could just CTRL-Z and another you should under no circumstances CTRL-Z(this is the first one, you'll probably have to subassembly lifeboat out of there:()

EDIT: Actually, if you're posting here than the second solution probably applies to both. You could always core change and remove the craft from the fighter.

I hate that bug so much...

no, see it was a fighter was doubled up inside itself, and when i deleted parts it stayed like its own ship inside the SPH... i finally fixed it by making the ship a subassembly and then turning that back into a ship, and it loaded, so i added fighters and launched it, but then when i hypered it to space it blows apart, revert to launch made the ground disappear, and then after that every save of the ship crashes the game.

I'll take my turn now.

BATTLE UPDATE

The Courage is now un-usable, the shaking is instense.

Her sister, the TCMS Iron Duke, intercepts one of the frigates. She ends up behind her adversary, and fires her Impaler into her stern:

The shot separated the rear or the ship from the bow, the rear was in pieces while the bow was mostly intact.

The Iron Duke then lowered her periapsis to make sure she didn't leave Laythe's SOI but the frigate's remains are on an escape trajectory.

Persist

Note: I now have three ships that are ready for combat, The Quiberon, the Iron Duke, and the Redoubtable.

Please keep in mind that these are only ground tests. Real combat results may vary.

They may vary indeed. If you use high speeds, take into account you are not under "krakensbane regime" if you are under 700m/s, so physics will change subtly regarding impacts. But in any case, how does whatever-does-that-to-a-Drek look? Same SRB with a hard part on the nose?

Rune. Because you can always blame the kraken.

I took the krakensbane limit consideration while building. I adjusted the delta-v so that it is under 600m/s, although it'll probably hit the target before it reaches that speed. I noticed something weird while testing though: the missiles performed well in the first trail, but after reloading or quicksaving, the performance became significantly worse. Seems to effect all projectiles.

BATTLE UPDATE

The last standing frigate engaged with the TCMS Quiberon. First time around he managed to severely cripple the ships' transport abilities. He then salvaged some SRB's from another frigate, however, this time no damage was done. He then proceeded to retreat to higher orbit, waiting for the TCMS Redoubtable.
