Why is everyone shooting at the Drek! Poor Zekes.

Dont worry, by the time they start destroying them I make a new one. And I'm quite sure the one I just made is indestructible (in the middle, at least)... It has double layers of armor spaced at 2m, and the outer layer is pointed :P

Dreks seem to be like the spanish ship Santisima Trinidad, while she was massive, well-armoured and had the most guns ever fitted to a sailing ship (140) she was very slow and sluggish. This doesn't really effect the Drek's performance now, but it will when multiplayer is implemented.

Actually ahe will get better; I have guided missiles, I'll hit while the enemy is still lining up. It's pretty much a floating fortress....

ooh I just got an idea! Ion powered Drek/mobile defense battery

Battle Update!

Using spoilers since pictures are large.

RIMS Hoplite moves in to attack one of the unused frigates. It zeroes its velocity about 650m away and fires a guided missile.

Looks like I hit something important! Sorry I didn't get an explosion screenshot, the one downside of guided missiles is that you're busy aiming it when it hits.

Speaking of missile technology, I've noticed mine have a much lower TWR than the ones that have been posted recently (around 6-8). But they are heavier, my guided missile is 5.6 tons mostly made up of structural parts, so it hits like a sledgehammer.

The remains of the ship still has power and weapons, so it's not considered dead by the rules, but it can't move so it can't hurt me.

Hoplite grabs a piece of debris with fuel and weapons using its claw, and retreats to a high orbit.

Looks like a giant swivel gun, hilariously sized in comparison to the ship.

PERSISTENT

The Drek is widely considered to be the gold standard in armor, hence, if you can beat a Drek you can beat anyone. It's leading to an entertaining arms race - People build new missiles to kill a Drek, Zeke builds a new Drek. We're at like XVXIVLXXVIX-XVVI now, right? (sarcasm, in case that wasn't obvious). There's been more military tech discovered and improved upon in the past two weeks than in the entire two months prior at least.

I don't think I went up against the Centurion Corvette in my battle, did I?

The one you split in half.

I'm really questioning the usefulness of large ships. They are just shot and killed in the first turn.

I may start looking into fighters as the main means of combat though the very tiny ship limits and huge tonnage allowances hinder their use a lot. :(

A Victory class could be in and out of load range before you even fired. She's incredibly quick.

Oh, the CJS Revenge? :)

Yeah... It's weakness was that the control core was unarmored, so it was easy to target for a kill.

But not all big ships get destroyed in one turn. Not if you armor them good. Look at the Dreks. They're pretty big.

You could try to make a similar ship to the Lykotaek class. A heavily armed, moderately armored and medium range all-around good ship.

The next edition is going to have guided SRB's with tips like the ones I've seen in the last few pages. The one I'm using against Spartwo has two claws and Vernor thrusters to scavenge whatever it can find.

so very true.... Can explain the seemingly rambling numbering system. I Used to make every new version a new number, until the XIV, where a series of hotfixes were needed, starting a -I and -II added to the variants. I've updatedcthe XIV quite a lot because I like its general construction the best, so ive updated it a bunch of times. The newest one is the XIV-XII, and for now I think I'm ahead of the missiles' development, for now.

And in quite sure the Drek is 100% responsible for that tech jump :P

also the the pointy Drek is not going to be available yet... Im still trying to dent it.
