The Expanse is one of my favorite shows, and its final season has gotten me in the mood to build a gunship. This is not a replica or anything, it's my own design, but you can probably tell what the main influence is here. This is a "Heavy" gunship that typically escorts capital ships, chasing...

If I remember correctly, back in the day it was discussed why there were speed limits in the first place. Afterall, in space you should just continue to accelerate as long as you have the energy to put towards thrust. However, as a limitation of the engine (at the time) , it turned out that...

A thought; You could re-purpose the ftl distance chambers to increase the rate at which you travel in warp. What I'm thinking would be to have 3 ftl drives, and whichever bonuses you wanted attached to your drive, would need to be reapplied for each one. In this way, you could have a level 3...

I like display stickers. While i really like the retro look of the display block screens, it would be nice to have a lot more flexibility

I have found myself wishing for slab displays, recently...

The Roan class of corvette is the RSN's fast, cheap escort and scouting vehicle. It normally operates with a crew of 5 - 12, depending on mission. It is armed with 2 quad barrel chain guns, 2 slow lock missiles, and several small AMS turrets.

The Rhodesian class is designed for solo patrols, fleet scouting, and chasing off smaller corvettes, gunships and drones. Compared to a destroyer, its top speed is fairly pedestrian, but its relatively thick armor allows it to engage several of its intended targets at once. Armament includes...

Does a missiles damage potential also go down with the hp when being shot at? If so, then even if small AMS systems can't outright stop an incoming missile, then they can at least soften the blow. Otherwise it seems like outrunning or simply tanking missiles are the way to go, with AMS being...

I fit a large pickup truck inside the cargo bay. It has a dock which will shove it outside so the frigate can deploy onto planet surfaces. At least, that's the plan, anyway.

Progress pics. At this point I'm just refining the look, and adding the RP elements to it. A look at the crew quarters. There are 10 of these loft type. I'm planning on stuffing a few larger quarters in some of the unused spaces. Also need to install latrines, medbay, and maybe a rec room...

I just don't think it's a very good idea. At this point I'm good with the game mechanics as they are I would rather see stabilization optimizations and stuff like that.

We can already go crazy. I don't see how the reactor dictating how much armor I can use is supposed to help with my ability to role play. The same goes for reactor dimensions influencing turn rate. It just doesnt make sense. Where did this idea come from?

Rhodesian Class Frigate: https://starmadedock.net/content/rhodesian-class-frigate.7856/ Ship's post will be below. I'm gonna try to reserve this space for an index...like I'll ever submit enough stuff to need one... New frigate. 15 man crew. Weapons are meh, but meant to take out smaller ships...

Oh, I feel you. I was simply describing what i felt was the best approach to turrets for the current game. I agree that sandboxes shouod not have limitations.

How so?

All of my turrets point forwards...so I guess the prow IS the broadside. I have a 500m "battleship" I halfway finished that had 10 "large" turrets for other >200m ships, about 30 "medium" turrets to cover the flanks and take care of drones, and the same number of ams turrets for maximum chance...

Awesome!

Some of my best ideas come from trying to salvage an oversight lol. Looking good man! Can't wait to check it out in-game!

If you want to see more, check out their old thread. The weapons and power update has kind of reset everyone's fleets.
