Ok, I'm about 90% done with Repulse's exterior! She's not amazing, but she's definitely an improvement on my other builds! She's only at about 15k mass, so I'd classify her as a light Cruiser (meaning I'll need to go up in size again for my next cruiser!), but I think I'll come up with a new...

If the boi not L O N G, the boi W R O N G

That's pretty awesome, actually! I might have to try that myself ;)

And just like that I figure out why all my vertical / side launching missiles have been doing nothing but giving my targets wonderful light displays :unsure:

Ha! Typical...I tried just about every key except right shift trying to find the free view :ROFLMAO: ah well, I'll hang on to it for aesthetic purposes!

Okay, so this isn't a ship (clearly :LOL:) but here's an idea I've been playing around with...it's a target acquisition / scouting periscope! The periscope camera sits in an encasing on top of the ship's bridge and is mounted on a turret ring, with the core mounted inside the bridge at deck...

So, I was wondering, do any of you have any weird obsessions when it comes to playing the game? As an example, here's mines: I love ship naming / class naming, and the whole RPish idea of individual ships in a class...I won't just build the 'Defender Class' (just as an example), I'll start a...

nothing quite as fancy as yours, but when designing main / secondary turrets for my ships I name the turret blueprints based on how many blocks wide the barrel is in inches and how long the barrel is in meters, for instance, the guns on the cruiser I'm building atm are 1 block wide and 30 blocks...

oh man, that looks nice! I'm liking the halo vibe a lot :^D As far as names go, I was thinking she looks like she could be an "Ardent" or maybe "Vehement"? Idk I'm not the best at naming ships :LOL:

Yeah, that's not a bad idea! I think I'll fit an underside turret onto Repulse...better safe than sorry, and whatnot :-p Prince Louis was built pretty decently in regards to blind spots, with main / secondary guns on the top deck and underside, and secondaries on the port and starboard...

Update: Just about finished the hull skeleton for Repulse, she's still missing a bridge but the basic shape is there. I've also constructed her main armament and laid it out early, with my past couple builds I ended up having to undo a bunch of work just to fit the guns in! So, hopefully I've...

Hmm, I guess my designs are pretty much aesthetic 'RP ships' at the moment, but I'm considering trying to design a competent PvP fleet soon. All your info on the turrets will be especially helpful! Couple WIP updates: I started working on a little freight ship thingy just to try and work on my...

Thanks! Only the largest turrets are inset, they run about 6-7m into the hull, I didn't even think about systems space or protection, I was basing their design off of WW2 era ship turrets! But I'll keep that in mind from now on :ROFLMAO:

The smallest turrets are powered by the ship, but the larger turrets are self-powered, although I'm pretty sure they don't have enough power by themselves to work efficiently, so that's my goal for the next turret I build :-p

Hey there! So I'll be posting my designs here from now on, I'm fairly new to the game but I'm hoping to pick up some design tips / feedback :^D I also like to add a little RP element and include some 'history' behind each ship, so feel free to have a read if you're into that kinda thing :-p...

Awesome work! I can't get over how beautiful those main battery guns on your heavy cruiser are...

Ha - I hope so! At the moment my biggest problem is that the power systems in the ships are horribly inefficient, but I guess I'll have to redo it after the power update anyway, so I guess that's not a HUGE problem :-p

Thanks! I see what you're saying in regard to the lack of details, I'll definitely play around with adding some finer details! Oh, and here's the link to the PD: Quad-AMS Mk. 1B , feel free to improve on it ;) Ha! Funny you should mention Yamato 2199 actually! The Prince Louis-Class was...

Ha! Thanks! Although I'm sure that isn't true ;)
