Isn't that armor part of another mod though?

Nope, it's part of the most recent update to BDArmory. You probably don't have the latest version. They added the armor and they added the ability to specify what a weapon can be used against. Also, you can change the engagement range of each and every weapon with a slider.

[NotAnAimbot]

Amazing! Gonna try it soon

I should also get out a new Wolverine with actual armor.

And by new I now mean rescrapping the entire structural plate 2A1 and changing them for armor.

If anyone has any tips on making spacecraft look good, I would love to hear them.

If you like the 2A1 and HeLT1's style, you can try using thermal plates to add contrast in the currently entirely grey armor/structural plates, although that comes at the price of survivability when being shot.

got a tank in! the new armor makes it pretty easy to make triangular sections

[NotAnAimbot]

Okay, LAST crafts for this month, I swear. Probably. Unless I still come out with more stuff, since I have at least 4-5 projects currently underway.

2A1/2(M) with new BDA armor

As @Deathpuff12 had remarked, armor construction is now much easier with much less parts, the new Wolverines having about 100 less parts than the old ones. There are only minor aesthetic changes from the old version, and this one is mostly to make use of the new armor.

MDL Model 469 jeep + M102U towed artillery piece

A light towed artillery piece. While I don't see any potential use for it, I thought it looked nice and it had been sitting in my hangar for quite a while, so I modernized it with the new armor parts.

can we use bda armor for spacecraft? its actually pretty good at withstanding hits from things like helios missiles and i-beam shots

[Spartwo]

Things and stuff, may submit, may not.

[Sidestrafe2462]

pls submit the ships @Spartwo

[JTpopcorn]

I'm thinking a reskin of the armor plating would be nice tbh. To me, it looks more like murky water than metal plating. Breaks stockalike just a tad too much.

Hello there! I've recently put in a new company (Eleventi Trucks), and now have added the EVT 'Mak' Bus, along with download links.

[NotAnAimbot]

Happy one month since last post anniversary I guess

[Sidestrafe2462]

XD

 

right now im testing Potatotech's firt spaceship, which is bassically a blockade runner

 

8 nukes, four of the overkill black rockets, ks 25 i belive

10 i beams 2 solid fuel booster rockets and 4 sledgehammer ore missiles in hangar bays

599 parts XD

untested armor

its mainly structural plates with wings on top

 

[Sidestrafe2462]

has problems with accuarcy and shooting itself with its weapons so far

scrapping the solid fuel boosters

looks like the beetlejuice now

[Sidestrafe2462]

a hit just forward of the side engines can cut it in half

 

[MiffedStarfish]

Pictures?

[Sidestrafe2462]

not yet

although i just fixd the shoot itself problem XD

armour has been revealed to suck at stopping i beams

its suprisingly effective against cap ship shots tho

im testibg right now

 

lol i still shoot mysel with my last salvo of ibeams

there it is in all its glory

 

hangars for whatever, i put in missiles

propulsion

might try to fit fighters into the hangars

then i can call it a support (SP) instead of a pulverizer (gonna change to combat) (PL)

[Sidestrafe2462]

ok, rmember how i said it was good against cap missile?

this happened with one shot from the hangar missiles

gimme some tips if you want to

Use structural panels for armor. Wings are really fragile, but panels have the same breaking limit as the I-beams so they'll do a better job at stopping them.

[Sidestrafe2462]

i did on the inside

[MiffedStarfish]

I just realised I never really posted my mining freighter and station. Damn. Expect them tomorrow.

[Sidestrafe2462]

im moving on to a carrier/tanker/frieghter its basically cargo bays strapped onto a rocket

10 nukes is overkill ithink

[Sidestrafe2462]

fighters complete!

the carrier can carry 6 mantis class fighters now

maybe 8

[Spearka]

It's been a while posting but recently I modified the Argus Tank to fit the new armour introduced in the BDArmoury update...

I think it suits it well
