this ship looks like it would be a great escort cruiser for a carrier. plenty of emplacements for turrets and inter-ship transports... i was on the fence about downloading it before, but i think i\'ll download it now that i\'ve seen the new pictures.

scroll bars in the faction member list would be nice. currently i can\'t see all the faction members because the screen is too small.

weapons computers being limited is a good idea shotgun arrays are overpowered. the dps of a gun of 100 blocks should always be greater than 100 individual blocks or else there\'s no point in building grouped blocks at all if all you\'re going to do is shot-gun everything to death.

this looks very nice! for some reason i keep thinking 0Nick0 had something similar to this, but idk who first made this. anwyays, very formidable looking ship!

an issue is that a large shield stands no chance against a similarly sized but smaller weapon. there are turrets hitting several million dps and instnantly killing larger player ships (up to 4.4 million blocks) with the dps and number of shots so high.

update: a lot of work done :D upper hull exterior is finished incl all the turret emplacements that are to be on the top. the turret emplacements on top (inset turrets) might be expanded for bigger turrets if i deem their power to be inadequate.

I am currently unable to log into the server, as my version is not the right one. HOWEVER, i\'ve been working on the heavy corvette on a different server, and the top half is nearly complete. soon it will be ready for service.

here\'s an update on the progress of the top front shell!

it\'s a borg sphere!

another definition of DFC: Deliciously Flat Chested :P nice job on the ships so far. stats?

interior hallway: underside re-done and reshaped in the center hangar opening area: some progress on the front:

GO READ UP ON ROTATIONAL PHYSICS to anyone and everyone who says dimensions don\'t play a part in rotation acceleration, do this experiment: find a stick. put it on a smooth surface. grab it in the middle and spin it with the spin axis int he middle. grab it on the end and use the end you grab...

i have been building a heavy corvette recently, and it\'s a long time coming. anyways it\'s fairly cheap as well, but we\'ll see once it\'s loaded down with all the docked fighters and turrets once its done. it has temporary stealth available

what if the large ship has a thrust-mass ratio of 5 to 1 vs a fighter\'s 1.5 to 1? what then? are you going to say the large ship shouldn\'t accelerate quicker when physics clearly shows that thrust/mass is the rule in acceleration?

just make it so thrust is factored into turn rates as well as mass and dimension. mass will be assumed equally distributed along the box of maximum dimensions, and thrust will be at radius \'r\' of where the output block of the thruster is in relation to the core. thrust is the force applied at...

that\'s where you go completely off the mark of physics. rotational dynamics depends on dimensions, mass, center of gravity, and gross force applied. the farther that mass is located from the center of mass, the higher the moment of rotational inertia/resistance to rotation will be. the...

that makes sense. the more damage something takes, the easier it becomes to kill.

i agree that turning rate should be affected by the dimensions of the thrust footprint and the distance that the output block is from the core (torque=force on a radius) as well as the overall power of the thrust group (to make my 500m ship turn slow even though its ratio is 50k thrust to 14.5k...

spheres specifically... physics-wise. space ship designs that are long and thinner in width and height tend to be for frontal-assault only most the time in sci-fi, and for good reason (turning would take forever)

i\'d be interested in seeing the ship maybe later. for now though i\'ve got 300-400m of hull to delete and re-do. UPDATE: more hull work finished
