RL fighters are bigger than that

Well you are probably going to die attacking a cap ship in a fighter without a nuke strapped to it anyway, so...

I'm not 100% sure i get what you are arguing for, so correct me if im goin down the wrong path on this, but...why not just use overdrive on your fighter weapons? In most cases they should have the surplus energy needed to use them

i can only guess people mostly assume Schine only works on one thing at a time for some reason so maybe they're thinking, 'why are you doing x when you should do y' and everyone has a different idea of what should take 'priority' first, or whats important. Like, if they did not reveal the space...

This is kind of unrelated, but if this is "RP Season", are we going to be getting some..uh..lore stuff in the near future? Or is that basically something that'll be tandem with the new faction stuff.

can you elaborate on this?

Added another variant of the Proteus with a more interesting color scheme. Dummy cockpit has been altered with Crystal armor replacing the blue advanced armor that is on the normal Proteus. Main Cannon is about 40% stronger but slower. Replaced Lock on missiles for Pulse which are likewise...

I see where you're coming from but its a matter of immersion. Why is a pirate going to stand and fight against something it has no chance at beating? Maybe there can be a subset of pirates fueled by the POWER OF FANATICISM or something, or different AI factions have different rules of...

That's waaay too big. Largest RL whale is 30m. 10, 20m longer maybe. But an organism >200m floating in space should be rare IMO

maybe this is space whale jr

If no one bothers to read anything now, what will a sticky they will have to read to glean any information from do? Wouldn't hurt to give it a shot thou

nope. Like the above said, Isanths are armor tanks and most people will aim for their centre of mass when all of their systems are in the wings, prolonging things even further. I can kill them easily with most fighters I have built or tried from this site, so the problem was more than likely...

I've tested extensively and it's already possible for a mid-sized fighter ship (200-500ish range) to do that what you're suggesting. It's called an Ion Pulse Missile! (good luck hitting anything with it)

it can lock on like beam. its like a high alpha version of mis / beam but they're super slow. I think it naturally had a wider radius tha n the other missile types also.

I personally switched back to the defaut speed limit because of it ratcheting up projectile speeds if you touch it - battles look a lot better visually imo when you can actually see what your shooting and what's being shot at. unfortunately, it is a bit too low. now me myself would like it if...

are you playing with a modded server speed? in vanilla you can literally thrust backwards and outrun them if you have high enough acceleration

guys..hear me out..how about.. a mech that transforms INTO a tank??!

Like homing missiles? No, they all still track you, but only Bobby can fire on you with a Jammer on. Jammers are pretty vital for any personally flown fighter though unless you like dying alot, as like someone earlier said, they reduce AI accuracy, which makes you very hard to hit in small ships

I'd personally prefer something like this : http://starmadedock.net/threads/new-core-element-for-modular-components.7593/ Wall of text in the spoiler.

There's no way to really quantify that since ship designs can wildly vary from player to player. But 6 1k mass ships, as long as they, are built to actually maneuver well and not like a brick can do a lot of damage to kill a ship that size..that's if they can get close enough to circumvent PD...
