Sadly, it doesnt completely. When i tested crash-bobby, it rammed the ship, then backed up, circled for a second, then made another half-arsed crash attempt which went nowhere. Not effective enough for pulse i guess. Even if our attachment system worked (without killing the server in the...

Technically, your drones are heartless too...

Proximity explosion secondary was planned for the minelayer weapon, but that got never finished. Would have been nice for flak cannons. Although i would like it more for as an effect block. Scattercannon with prox-charges, swarm missiles exploding in a drone swarm... Oh, the dreams ;)

I never liked beer to my lasagne... But then again, I dont like beer in general. And yes, having the drones to eat the damage while you escape because @keptick brought his little pet-titan along to chew on some toys would probably be a good idea.

Here are some testing results (Fuck your drones, @Thalanor , 20 of them wrecked my corvette. Did took 10+ with it though. 5 million credits in drones deployed, 2,5 lost and destroyed a ship worth 10+ million. Nice, isnt it?): Punch-through: Either cannon + something not-cannon, OR cannon/cannon...

After the first few seconds of the battle, your swarm should already be diminished, as the first thing that happens are my swarm missiles. I think the corvette can take one or two volleys, but thats it, so i dont have much time.... meh, hate drones....

No, @keptick , I havent used those... The corvette is currently equipped with: Pulsecannon. Will get an ion effect for use against bigger ships. Not the corvettes focus, but still usefull (i think). 100% rapid fire cannon with punch-through. Being manually fired, this thing can lay waste to...

Microturrets.... Dammit @Thalanor, those swarm missiles were kind of my last hope. Those damn things are also chaff, they take the attention from you real drones. Gonna rework my corvette, I guess. Rapid fire 100% cannons with pierce and large turrets with the same weapon. Maybe also a rack with...

Considering that my (unfinished) corvette already clocks in at 6 million and doesnt even have its swarm missiles (just the pulsemissile for use against the mothership), that is... worrying. 20 Drones (plus x ion drones) might actually hurt it right now, and i dont know how much use the swarm...

hmmm, thats interesting. I mean, with the equal number of combatants, of course pulsecannons are a good bet, and they have enough damage to destroy or cripple other drones with the punch. And it doesnt need as much space (power capacitors) as pulsemissiles to do it either. I like and approve...

missile/cannon/explosive? Sounds fun to me....

Well, the plan in my mind was: Area trigger linked to plex doors around the trigger (leaving some space so they dont activate it), to the weapon system (repeated by infinity clock), a 1/1/1 cannon/cannon/stop combo angled directly downwards (so the drone also is an annoyance) and (if possible)...

Well, if you can get their shields down, a punch-through shot of sufficent strenght (if it doesnt kill the core outright) will do massive damage, since all of the interior is packed with systems. But if you are at that point, its already over anyway. Maybe with the HP system and the ability to...

Test it! This might be the next thing! Drones with swarm missiles, but no thrusters attaching themselves to enemy ships and bombarding them with their little stings occasionally! Oh the horror!

Well @keptick, your titan is the kind of thing I would never want to bring to a battle... Damage pulse drones would be funny, but i think we covered them before, you have an even bigger problem than with normal cannons: You aim wrong, the drone whizzes past your enemy happily pulsing at nothing...

That will be countered by a lot of drones, better to make them integrated (i think). Unless turrets get an AI overhaul and some way to increase their turning speed, i declare them less than useful against drones. Hugh, Gerion spoken!

I dont think you need a lot of damage to destroy drones, but shotgun cannons I definetly dont like. You are basically shooting with hopes of hitting in a specific angle (there will always be blind spots), while the swarm missiles will actively seek out drones (not much better, because their...

Here is the thing: The corvette will not have any turrets. You fire the main missiles against the enemy mothership and the swarm missiles when the drones get too close to your comfort zone. It really isnt designed to fight alone against a target of its own size, but it should be able to take on...

Are we talking anti-drone or anti-server here?

This is all a bit cheesy (if totally viable and funny). Im trying to build a ship that can withstand direct drone swarm attacks while also being somewhat viable against bigger ships (basically a support corvette for something bigger). And there, multiple big swarm missile arrays might just be...
