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.

There's only one problem. The rules state that you can't cover more than 50% of the surface area with those panels! Although I do suppose it could be used with rule exceptions...

[RocketscientistV]

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

Ok. More struts and RCS. I did test it in LKO, but that was me firing missiles at it.

Luckily struts aren't physics calculated, there's maybe 100-150 in here.

That's why I said 'seemed', if it weren't for that then it would be pretty useful.

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).

I wouldn't be so sure. I'm glad to confirm, my new 0.625 munitions can open all kinds of cans if you know how, and the warhead is the single I-Beam (albeit the long one):

Still, that took an ungodly amount of ammo, most of which didn't really do a thing before I got the effective range worked out... only two out of seven really did what they were supposed to! And it certainly counts as alive, even if only with half the subsystems attached to it (I need a clarification on salvage rules, BTW). What do you put in your armor, zekes? Never built anything anywhere close myself! Get back to you with the persistence as soon as I move everything else, BTW, right now I've got to run.

Rune. But it won't be too long now!

Testing did not end well for you, I'm afraid, AlexanderTeaH...

The I-Beam weaponry onboard my Lykotaek class cruiser shredded your armor and knocked off most of your weapons. The two anti-capital ship SRBs obliterated your propulsion and delivered the death blow.

Ouch. Adding another layer of plates to shield the SRB's.

glad to see you're getting somewhere with that ammo also, as for "dead" or alive, I will always refer back to the house rules (#4 I think) if a ship can do any two out of three of these: (sustain power, move, or fire weapons) then it is still alive. As for my armor, I build not only to minimize damage, but also incorporate subsystems capable of suviving catastrophic damage when hit; for example the Drek XIV-XI has alternate missile points in the rear not only to ensure the barrel loss doesn't disable it, but it also means I case of engine loss the missiles can turn around and provide emergency thrust.

But in the rules it also states that the ship must be capable of operating independently of the weapons or other ships.

hmmmm good point I somehow missed that... I will have to quickly add some emergency engines then the only ship in my fleet without them is the XIV-XI

Someone beat me to it, anyway, to replace my irrelevant post, here's a pic of what I just spent 5 minutes doing:

[ScriptKitt3h]

Ya'll know... this is why most of my newer ships (or upgraded models) have tons of RCS and oftentimes a backup ion drive.

[Megalodon 720]

I was going to do it with a few ships, I'm going to try and use one of War Eagle's archangel class ships next.

[Megalodon 720]

Also, guys. Remember the 'Fearless' Class? Turns out that it isn't obsolete after all:

Weapons are gone, all apart from what I assume are anti-fighter missiles.

I MADE THIS FOR YOU!!!

Rep points to whoever gets this reference first

But serious try out my challenge I made for y'all

[Spartwo]

Ish

I'm trying to shoot the drek but it's protected by a bug forcefield.

[Megalodon 720]

Took me a while to realise what that was, I'm not going to bring the ship back into service but I am going to rebuild her.

//:BATTLE ALERT!://

Zokesia Skunkworks VS RocketScientistV

I assume no leaving Pol's SOI? As is usual.

Ships:

x4 Drek XIV-XI

-Vaca

-Thresher

-Scorpion

-Celeste

x1 Revenge Class Carrier (not really sure what she's good for here, as this is neither a long range nor heavy ship battle but ah well

-Revenge

First Shot from Celeste:

Main peice is just a bunch of cockpits, with no missiles, engine, and is running out of battery.

PERSIST: https://www./?21ivv3k3cc6463i

(PS Im not really sure if this battle is fair, you're outnumbered, outtonned, and using wing armored fighters against top of the line Zokesian Steel)

[Frozen_Heart]

My ships are now Set up around Dres.

I have a Triarri Class Fighter, The Gunship CJS Vanguard, and the Corvette CJS Revenge. None of these have actually seen combat so it should be interesting.

*Whistles*

Nice Y-Wing!

(It's going to die, though. No armor = 1 shot kill with a Mark II I-Beam rocket. Just gotta aim good. *squints*)

I've got stuff to do now, but tomorrow the first shot will be fired.

So it's those against

We shall see.

[Frozen_Heart]

Starwhip what kind of dV do your ships have? They don't look like they have a lot?

Then again the Lykotaek surprised me with its range...

[Megalodon 720]

This is getting good around here, don't mind me colonising Laythe.

And you can't touch them, the Laythe colonies are mine.
