Ok I have some pictures for you guys and Lady´s. We have some Lady´s do we?
Most of the time, when I build a ship I have a certain role in mind. And today I thought, what is cool, what is really badass? Oblviously, turrets that fire heavy artellery, bam bam bam. Ok now you will say, but all your ships have turrets. Yes that is right, but mostly as tertiary weapons. And all where either laser or reapid fire cannons.
So look at this :D
The next of Asgard turrets. I plan to make the support not 100%, but maybe 50% or even 25%. So that it gives more a feeling of heavy anti ship artellery. I now it is tiny compared to what other people build in turrets. But I simply dislike these gigantic turrets on "relatively" small vessels. There will probably another new turret slightly bigger.
Also what support weapons would you use for such a turret? Cannon-Cannon-explosive, Cannon-Cannon-overdrive, Cannon-missile-explosive or Cannon-pulse-explosive? Or something different?
And of cource there has to be a new ship for these new turrets :D
It will be a cruiser, so the ship between the frigates, the nimble craft that zip around the battlefield, and the battleship, the massiv behemoth who simply jumps in the fight flys to the enemy and hammers them until something gives in.
The cruiser is meant to fight at 1000m distance. While the main weapon of the battleship gungnir is a lok on missile battery with 2000m range. The cruiser will come closer unleash his main weapons while his extensive turrets hammer the enemy with explosive shells.
I have the goal, that people can see the evolution from frigate, I am faaasst. To the slow capitalship. We will see how that goes.
