      BUILD CHALLENGE: Torpedoes, launchers, magazines!

      I'll be honest; at this stage of the game's development, adding AI to anything with warheads on/in it is a bad idea. On the other hand, there are some pretty clever (not to mention fun) logic controlled weapons out there. If you're not yet comfortable using logic in this way, I'd be happy to...

      Newbies Guide to Factions V2.0

      Silly question... Can you be a member of more than one faction? For example; You have your own individual faction but you are recruited by someone else's faction. Does that change your faction ID and negate your ability to use your own faction home base, points, territories, etc?

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      No offense guys, but this is where I'm showcasing my ships. While I can appreciate your enthusiasm about console gaming, please don't hijack my thread for a "My console is better than yours" debate.

      More power to you. Not everyone can have bad luck but I know where my money is going.

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      Two things... 1) Every single one of my friends had a stuck tray, red ring, "open tray" error or some other crazy issue. 2) I work in technical support so I void warranties for a living. M$ frowns on this. I don't hate on X-Box fans since theirs had the better games but I don't feel I should...

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      Tempting but I kinda suck at first person shooters and I will NEVER buy an X-Box. Besides, I've already got a few industrial style ships lying around. They are way over due for a refit though.

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      I've haven't played Halo. My inspiration was more of the Star Trek variety... Although, I'm sure the concept is similar; big space gun, keeps big bad ships away. I just added my Star Axis styling to it instead of Cardassian. In this model, the outer hull is the weapon; it rotates around a...

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      BM-1 Anti-ship orbital defense platform (WIP)... Reach out and crush someone. This is a 3500 mass, free floating turret with 360 coverage on all axes. It fires high explosive armor piercing shells, and powerful missiles from more than double the default weapons range. Deploy one of these...

      Torpedo Bombers

      Agreed. This is why I tend to favor "frigate/light destroyer" sized ships over capitals. Most of my ships can knock down 200,000-350,000 shields with a single burst then start shredding through armor with cannons, missiles, turrets etc. Even with with the added mass of advanced armor...

      Torpedo Bombers

      Try this one. No rants, just Q&A. Questions-about-warheads. My little SB-39 is best flown while covered by a swarm of drones. A new tactic of mine is to create flight groups consisting of a bomber/heavy fighter and a set of "wing men" in an "attack formation"... The heavier ship can take...

      BUILD CHALLENGE: Torpedoes, launchers, magazines!

      That shouldn't be a problem if you are familiar with the rail and logic systems. The warheads have a very low damage output now because of the new explosion mechanic and the massive buff of advanced armor so anything you build will be weak-sauce. Here's how to modify their damage in...

      BUILD CHALLENGE: Torpedoes, launchers, magazines!

      Ah, an inquiring mind... That's the best kind. ...after a 'lost' mind of course. To answer your questions; 1) Yes but only damage stacks, not blast radius. 2) You can do this but it wouldn't be 100 meters; more like up to 4000 meters with something like this... 3) Yes; a push beam throwing a...

      Introducing The United Star Axis

      Thanks Godmars, My ships are a blend of many real life and sci-fi concepts. It's not surprising that some of them seem somewhat familiar. Like this Trek-Wars-5 Federation-Class Star Fury Destroyer with NASA paint job... ;)

      BUILD CHALLENGE: Torpedoes, launchers, magazines!

      Thanks for the tips guys. I'm in the process of building a Star Axis style stealth torpedo cruiser. It would have been significantly larger but the 1 million e/s soft cap on power output has kind of wrecked that idea. I have to bolt some more weapons on to it, as well as a scanner but I'll...
