When I was a kid I got the Star Trek Technical Manual for Christmas, and promptly started building very colorful (I cared far more about shapes and color coded symbology then aesthetics back then :-p) Star Trek ships of no particular class with complete multi-deck interiors and systems where the...

I just wanted to know if anyone has gotten any testing in with the new weapon changes. I did just finish watching Yamato 2199 and I really want to build some ginormous beam turrets......

Ares Aerospace is proud to release our first dedicated light mining cruiser! The Rockwell-V Class Light Mining Cruiser is built around a Diamond Pickaxe High Efficiency mining array, on a lightweight carbon-block space frame enabling a massive T/M Ration of 2.0, and sufficient internal volume...

Have you tried incorporating the new sensor blocks? If you set the sensor block to trigger at 95% jump drive charge, you might be able to tie that in with some AND blocks and a switch to turn off the charging until you're ready to charge that last 5% and jump. You'll probably need to incorporate...

Thanks! :^D

If anyone is interested, I just added the ship I was piloting during the engagements to the docks. TSS DD-3 Empyrean Lancer

Ares Aerospace is proud to announce a return to our classic destroyer line with the complete refit and re-launch of the ASDF DD-1 Empyrean Lancer. The first ship off our newest line of Spatha II Heavy Escort Destroyers. The newly re-launched Empyrean Lancer has greatly improved...

Just moved the MK 2 version with the logic safety to the original post. I should have done this a long time ago!

Mind if I put forth my Tempest Class Light Cruiser, released under my Ares Aerospace persona? She's a sweet looking ship, even if I am still trying to find a good weapon mix for her main batteries. TSS CL-2 Winter's Unrelenting Storm

I feel we need to do some experimentation with Pulse-Ion weapons and report back here. As I described in my other thread, I too had my 60% Ion Shields one shotted in a much smaller scale engagement.

Welcome to the new press release section for Ares Aerospace! Come back often for new and exciting news often as we push forward new paradigm shifts in the field of Starship Engineering! END RP I'm going to use this topic as a place to announce ships I'll be adding to the docks using what I'm...

The sector size on GenXNova is 30km, and the weapon ranges are based on percentages/multiples of the server sector size. On that server cannon-cannon systems have a range of 30,000 meters. At ranges where we were exchanging cannon fire and both scoring hits, around 6000-3000 meters, my shields...

He just describes it as a pulse ion system, and it did literally one shot my shields.

I just fought my first few PVP duels and I'm not going to be able to go to sleep without first putting them down here :-p I was dueling one of the Admins on the GenXNova server and getting in some live fire practice and testing on my refit of The Harvest of Fire. What made the duels so...

I usually run 20-25% total block count as shields and I've been told on many occasions my ships are drastically under shielded and I should be aiming for at least 40% TBC shields. I've just never gotten or seen a ship that high with a Thrust/Mass ratio higher than .4 or .5 which I consider...

I think part of the the solution to this is to properly incorporate buying and selling entire ships. I can go out, acquire the resources, and then spend the time to fill up the BP for a 25K mass destroyer I'd like to have on hand. Depending on the block count, my stockpile, and just how many...

Yeah, I think this will do it. It takes a resource in game, consumes it, and returns credits. I was watching Lenscap on youtube during my lunch break earlier tonight. He was doing a little trading and a little piracy. The trade guild gave him very sizable chunk of money for a large stockpile...

I really need to play with the bloom effect on my next ship, but for now here's a shot of the Winter's engines

I'd second indenting and outdenting the armor to add some depth and texture. Secondly, Are the turrets mounted flush to the hull? You can outdent the armor add add a turret ring to base your turrets on or indent the armor and mount the turrets in a shallow 1-2 block deep well. On the...
