    Looked at the Bow Head primarily to see how you handled turrets with the update. It is my conclusion that the default damage for AMCs are set far too low, since your turrets like mine have trouble doing anything other than stopping the shield regeneration. Rant aside awesome work.
    Yes, all those turrets are pretty useless now, but i just hope that there is a return of balance sometimes in the future, till then they just provide pretty fireworks :(

    Accident at the weapon testing center!
    Heavy energy lasers wrongly packaged as long range target painters caused a major incident at the weapon testing center today which left 2 AIs severely damaged.

    Its done by activating two computers with the logic system, I guess. At least thats the only way I could imagine it happen ;D

    Hi!
    What you see is the turrets firing at a target in the background (there are 3 dorsal and 2 ventral).
    Rumcajz : All you need to do is to point the D1000 Missile CPU in the direction you want your missiles to start , it is not (yet/to my knowledge) possible to use a logic block (because you need to lock a target) but you could just could fire two missile arrays in quick succession to achieve a similar effect

    broadside missiles (both sides in quick succession):
    without lock on

    with lock on

    The Phalanx Destroyer and the Neptune Frigate got an update and can now move again.
    Also i am now a big fan of the new overdrive effect :D



    Also: while adding all the small turrets i was very happy with my engineering vessel:

    it sports one tractor beam (beam+amc+pull), a stopping beam (beam+stop) and a repair beam (just for fun). Very usefull to tow those small turrets to their place

    Hi!

    I finally finished the Prometheus Battlecruiser:

    The Prometheus shares the principal design with the Kronos (and a lot of my other vessels) and comes with a multitude of weapon systems and turrets, a full interior and multiple hangars.


    It currently waits for updated fightercrafts and the next patch :D

    It really shows how I can't build fast and pretty at the same time.
    This is just freaking awesome. :eek:

    The Prometheus is not as big as it seems, 500m length but it has just 265k mass with turrets and docked ships.
    The most time was figuring out the new weapon systems and building new turrets, i also spent quite some time designing a nice blinking logik but i had to scale it down a lot (it was not working as i had initially planed) .

    Pics from the hangars:
    12 light fighter:

    2 heavy fighter and the escape pod docks (8):

    1 light corvette:

    2 shuttles:

    2 engineering vessels and 2 courier vessels:
