A new drone I am working on, comments welcome, it's just a skeleton at the moment but yes that is a turret underneath. edit: probably will be removing the turret. Just doesn't feel right... any opinions?

Its mine too, the one pictured above is actually the original version. The mk2 has the OD missiles, only a couple of differences between the two but it's a staggering performance upgrade. ~double the shielding, costs about 15k less, improved missile damage from 225 to 450. The one pictured above...

Thanks! I was going for a mass produced look, so everything is built off templates first and then just copied over :D. The drones themselves are templates too. :rolleyes:

This is the fore-page for the Liquid Systems Nano Yard© ship showcase! Are you looking for a smaller ship that has all the things you need? Well, too bad, we specialize in making small ships that have one specific thing you need. Everything else gets left behind as we attempt (and generally...

I had a thought just now regarding anti-carriers... what about instead of swarms, because right now they're very anti-fleet ship, use a broadside of rapid fire missiles? about 36 seconds in they start firing and it would be absolutely spectacular to see that ram into a carrier. Granted you...

Are you in need of an entry level carrier? Do you have the urge to scratch that drone itch? Then the Dune is the ship for you! The Dune Light Drone Carrier is designed to bring a small swarm of drones to the front lines. Versatile and modular the ship will hold 4 racks of any Flea chassis...

Chrome bricks no less. :cool: Also, the Dune is now available for download here. In related news I've begun work on an escort vessel that will make use of small shotgun turrets to provide area denial. It'll range ahead of the main fleet and hopefully clear out a significant portion of the...

Agreed, just can't wait for the AI to be able to handle this though. Imagine seeing sniper AI's with long range punch cannons. That would be a scary day for drones.

@keptick I think support drones would be better at disabling other drones or systems. Such as shooting down Assault drone missiles. This doesn't directly mean they destroy the Assault drones, just disable their main weapon systems, hence Support. Otherwise support would really just be a special...

Kind of the point though, for a missile boat to have AMS defeats the purpose entirely, shooting your own missiles = negative dps? Unless said AMS was just auto-firing missile spam everywhere. I have seen it get lucky once, which was spectacularly funny.

I always liked the saying, "when in doubt, do more". In this instance, add anti-missile rapid missiles. They probably won't take out many missiles but the extra fire power will be Everywhere. So you won't really have to worry about drones very much... yours or the other guys'... also video...

That I did, and a darn good one too. Those buggers close in on big ships and they hurt... I accidentally gave my pirates fleas. <_< not a happy day when I ran into these guys. Only about 8 of them ate through 35k shielding in a minute or two before I bothered to swat them. :eek: For less than...

While messing around with amc's I came up with another Flea variant. Last one, I promise :rolleyes: The Brawler Flea So amc - amc are the new anti-drone run of the mill around here I figured I'd give it a shot as well! The brawler flea packs the following into the usual frame size... Four...

Agreed on the summary part. The shields only really help against those teeny cannon turrets. Something like my 16k alpha turret will just nuke the drone regardless. Seeing as how you never know what you'll be up against 100% of the time, including them is probably the safer bet. @keptick yup...

@Gerion, @ltmauve The power thing is a no go, I tried it earlier and it's not possible without some kind of power supply turret constantly tracking the drone. Having said that it's nearly impossible to pack on enough energy to sustain the drone throughout an engagement. Shields are likewise...

Fair enough, quotes can be big and I tend to be long winded. :rolleyes: My idea was more to nuke the drone immediately and forget about it. Pack on about 40 turrets and let them one shot the majority of the horde. Larger turrets could then pick and choose from the rest. Check my phaser...

16 is fairly achievable. All I have to do is copy-pasta another group as is and make some minor changes to the tongue design. I only did 8 because I was testing whether or not that overhanging "tongue" could successfully launch the drones every time. After some changes to it's shape it works...

I can't tell if that's a troll drone or if hes just made the flagship for the new rainbow country. @_@ So much rainbow, you can taste it. In other news I have nearly completed my Light Drone Carrier. It holds a total of 8 fleas but there's room for slightly larger craft if you wanna carry less...

At their size I can't imagine eeking out anymore firepower. I could armor the bejeesus out of them though, although it'd only stop maybe a stray shotgun bullet at most and the cost is definitely not worth it.... unless I used crystal armor... then cost for now would be identical. For some reason...

Nice. Not having to equip additional costly expanders on large racks is what I was hoping for. They can really add up too, just found about 12 advanced armor blocks adding 17k to my racks cost. So every cheap-o means of cutting cost is nice. :eek: Dirt racks ftw! :p So I was messing around...
