That's some fancy flying right there, man. Good maneuver, I'll have to try that next time I have a space battle and am low on fuel.

You could just put docking ports and transfer the fuel. lol

Tomorrow night... I'll be back and upload both persists. Work is killing me this week.

Also this will likely be the end of my battle with you SDJ64, I'll be out of ammo on my last easily moveable ship. I'm not sure I want to fly the drinklots on one Vernier thruster as tight as the dV requirements will be. Next time I will make sure my craft have the ammo for more than one attack, or deploy the fighters with a carrier. However... The current rules still make carriers useless, and actually discourage their use by making them so vulnerable.

Good game!

[Turd]

Since I am unlikely to finish any more work on these before both games are finished, here are two of my four "new" craft. The Mk.28-X6 and RCS Micro-Impactor VI have already been shown elsewhere. They only needed minor tweaks. (More impactors and tighter sphincters so the torpedoes can't hit engines as easily)

Project Mk. 28-X7 "CANYONERO"

X6 >4t RCS powered Micro-Interceptors

X12 Light impactors (spare missiles for the interceptors)

x2 Reloader probes

Mk. 24-X5 (More and better torpedoes, tougher engine mount, less prone to kaboom.)

Random Revival .-.

As the EKR, I join the battle. I'm thinking of sending a defensive battle station up into orbit first.

It's not a persistent war map. It's a casual duel between fleets.

First read over the rules, then propose a challenge and wait for someone to accept.

[The Fleet Master]

What happened guys? Did everybody disappear?

[andrew123]

No. We just don't have enough time to remake our craft with the new parts.

I have the ideas, but I don't have the time atm.

[zekes]

Im so glad this is back

[EladDv]

i'm glad to say im in for that!

[ScriptKitt3h]

I've done some testing, and most of my 0.24 warships (space-based) are perfectly OK post-update. It's mostly planes that need fixing as far as I can tell.

[zekes]

wonderful! I'd like to have a small test battle, but all i have are 129 tonne Dreks (not counting my ancient collection of other ships)

I'm definitely interested in doing a test battle, but first I think I might try and make an alternative heavy warship to accompany my Oracle and Ingressor warships.

Also, out of curiosity, what's the new Drek packing in terms of firepower?

Im still trying to get back into the game, so for now it has the old Drekevak 24's 4-engined missiles, which I personally like, but I'm not sure how well they'd fare against other people's armor. The Drek XXV carriers 4 of them, which is the standard number of Anti-Ship Missiles on a drek (Except for the Drek XVIII which carried 6)

[Megalodon 720]

I'd have a test battle with you, but I only have the 200ish ton Victory, if you don't mind me having that much weight on the battle field then I'll give it a go.

[zekes]

that will be fine, i think, as long as i can go first.

you set up your ships, say 4, that way I can bring 6 (to even out tonnage - 200x4 = 130x6)

[Megalodon 720]

Sure, I'll set up.

EDIT: Wait, I forgot how this works for a second there, where should I place my ships?

EDITx2: I can already tell that this is going to be an embarrassing defeat:D I'll be happy if I can destroy one or two of your ships.

*grabs popcorn whilst building new fleet*

[Megalodon 720]

I'm building a new fleet too, mostly lighter, more maneoverable ships, but it will include some larger craft in the 150-180 ton area (I want Victory to be the largest one there).

[zekes]

Sure, I'll set up.

Just put them in some formation over whatever planet you want. Rules should be no leaving the planetarry SOI (Unless there is a moon inside the planet SOI), then send me the persist.

[ScriptKitt3h]

Just putting this here as a reminder:

Rules

1- The team with the last armed ship wins.

2- Each player takes it in turns to engage one target with one ship.

3- Ships engage in order of tonnage, lightest to heaviest. Once all ships are used the cycle repeats.

4- A ship is considered dead when the original 'core' of the ship is incapable of fulfilling two of these three goals unaided from other ships or onboard weapons...

+Sustaining power

+Moving

+Firing weapons.

5- Weapons can only be fired from the original ship core and must be used within the the same turn that they are fired.

6- Screenshots or videos documenting all moves are needed to complete a turn.

7- Players are not allowed to control enemy craft that is considered alive or attach to them with the Klaw. (only when it is considered dead and you must be attached or docked to take control)

8- Players are not allowed to intentionally edit the orbit of enemy craft via any method other than weapons fire (because there's gonna

be some recoil when your ship gets hit with an I-beam, I mean come on).

9- Half of the total of your ships may be moved in a turn (rounded up) but only one may attack.

10- Ramming is disallowed.

11- Weapons stealing is allowed under the pretense that the parent ship is 'dead' and the weapons are disconnected from it (you can disconnect them with weapons fire if you want).

12- Weapons must be fired within 2.5 km.

13- Surface to orbit weapons may be fired once per turn,and are exempt from rule 12.

14- All moves must be done manually, without the aid of autopilots.

15- A team may forfeit the game at any point, resulting in a loss unless both are in agreement.

16- Any mods which affect craft or persistence files are forbidden.

(These rules may be negotiated however mods are always banned)

Carriers

1-The total mass of carriers includes fighters and any other items being carried.

2-Ships onboard carriers cannot have munitions larger than 1.5m diameter.

3-Carrier fighters have a mass limit of 10 tons,anything heavier will be included as another ship.

4-Carrier FIGHTERS will go first because carrier fighters have a mass limit of 10 tons.

5-Carriers may not use heavy armor* higher than 50% surface area.

6-All fighters must return to the carrier by the end of the turn.

7-Carriers can have their own offensive weapons (But they always go last).

Battle settings are made in the following fashion.

-Body

-Special rules/rule exclusions

-Maximum number of craft

-Maximum total mass

-Use of K-drive,yes/no

(These are recommended to be negotiated)

*Heavy armor means stuff that has 80m/s impact tolerance

These are pretty much the exact same rules as the ones in the 'ol GNBC thread.

I'll have to do it in the morning, it's getting late over here.

sounds good! I gotta work on my XXVI a bit more as well...

[Frozen_Heart]

I've haven't managed to get a working military together since 0.19. :/ Some ship classes still haven't been updated since that version.

Are people still focusing on land battles or are we going back to space?

[Megalodon 720]

I have completely ignored land combat, I've focused on space for most of my time playing KSP.
