So, as I was rebuilding the detail lost during the refit, I noticed the turrets had the habit of colliding, furthermore they were unable to declinate causing a blind spot around the midrim of the ship.
The more I though about it the more it annoyed me so that is now fixed, however while testing them I also noticed that for reasons unknown the AMS for all my republic ships had there computers mounted backwards??? Not wanting any of you out there getting hurt as a result I decided to release this update now.
(For anyone following my Faction Builds)
I have (finally) decided on ship roles given their respective capabilities.
So far. . .
Foray Class- Will remain as it is now, a durable multi-purpose forward fighter, intended to be a destroyer class vessel for escorting the Hammerhead as the Foray class does. Out of the three escorts for the Hammerhead this one by far is the most durable and direct combat oriented.
Consular Class- As is apparent, this will be the primary anti-fighter ship as any good frigate should be. This ship however will also fill the most important role of Recon, which I was debating giving to the CSS. While the Foray has a limited scanner, and the Hammerhead may as well, this ship will be the primary recon vessel
CSS- This will be a missile boat (as soon as I figure out missile capacity) the idea being many smaller missiles for anti-fighter combat as well as decoys for the Hammerheads larger missiles and to round out the mostly cannon-based fleet composition.
Hammerhead Class- My personal favorite so far, she is a durable direct fire platform with what I believe to be above average anti-fighter capability. As this ship will most likely be spawned often it was designed to cover all the roles of the above mentioned ships so that despite random spawn probabilities the fleet will be prepared (hopefully).
Valor Class- Coming Soon.
