For those of you wondering I did do the math, and while Thrusters and shields do hold some resemblance to a linear progression they fit the curve of a quadratic function much more effectively. Once I get new batteries for my calculator as they are dying and I had to stop several times just to...
Still new but I come at building two ways.
1. System First: this is mostly for my larger ships that are being built to house said weapon. In this case I do all math and work up a minimum safe energy level and a stable shield capacity. Then I layout the gun housing, and finally the weapon...
Even that could be balanced by providing a faction Homebase with a set fuel gain per day or so. While it wouldn't give them an end all endless supply it wouldn't leave them with nothing if they lost a major conflict over a fuel resource. That being said, with it being optional, if you didn't...
Update on the Carnival
Started laying in the final layer of hull. Once I get it in place I'm going to drop in the turret docking points and then work on the turrets themselves. Evening out the edges of the banding is going to be hard. Think I'm just going to let the white underneath show to let...
Did some math and the the Calamity is going on hold for now. While working up the the math for the lag cannon... it WILL crash any server that it's fired on, I'm looking at needing a base energy for firing it ONCE at a little under 5.5 Trillion. That's not counting the added energy for the...
I might have to look at these files for my single player and if I ever get to the point of hosting a server. I like the weapons but they seemed a little off in how they work. Thanks for the info.
This was a thought that came to me while I was at talking with a co-worker today.
Solar-sails. I really like this idea but I'm not sure how feasible they would be in-game. They serve as a really powerful form of propulsion in systems with powerful stars but are relatively useless in the void...
I've just started and mainly build in creative on my home computer, so I've not really seen what it's like one public servers. That being said, I can see everything you've said here fitting amazingly well as both problems and solutions (if my own statement makes any sense) for not just this game...
It gives the math for the power but none of the basic numbers I'm looking for. Thanks for the info though. I'll just have to check it all out when I get home. Once I get all of it together then I'll probably go on and add to the stubs.
So shields got changed? Last I heard the more you had the less each block gave you. Then again, as I said, most of what I've found is pretty old.
What are the base numbers? I'm on my phone right now so I can't really find out myself.
I don't play PVP much as I've just started and tend to lean more towards system work but I really like this. The idea of fuel bugs me but it would make putting together my Super Weapon Class Ships much harder. It would be fun if nothing else. You hit a lot of it spot on, asteroids, some anyway...
I'm KingofCalamity, nice to meet you all. I suck at aesthetics but so far I've been able to make some really nice weapon and power set ups. That being said, working off the top of my head doesn't work often enough. So I'm here looking for the basic equations for various blocks.
Power Capacity...
Another update as well as some new stats. Most of the inner hull is completed. I have some touching up to do on the back above the engines, actually I have to fill the upper half of the back end in. The entire lower hull is completed and I like how it turned out.
FFS-M Type-2 Carnival a.k.a...
So, got a little more done. Hemmed in the front of the ship with the first layer of armor. Have a few pics. It's not much but it's a little more before I head into work. Right now It's kinda boxy but when I add the second and then decorative layers of hull it will five it a better profile. The...
The two main smart missile arrays take almost 90% of that storage if fired back to back. Hence such a massive amount of of it. There is actually going to be more stacked alongside the shields to help buffer the expense of moving around and recharging the shields.
I'm going to have to add more...
Welcome all to Fog Fleet Works. I am KingofCalamity and though I'm new I rather enjoy building ships. I will add links and pictures as I complete various ships.
Currently in the dock:
Maya-Class Heavy Destroyer "Carnival"
Planning Stages:
Kongo-Class VC-Maya Capital Ship "Rin"
Citadel-Class...
