It is well deserved praise.

And by the way congratulations on 600 posts in your shipyard (and the longest shipyard thread in the modern era)!

hehehe, thanks. Funny thing is that it's not even a shipyard XD. It's all dedicated to a single ship. I actually plan on making a proper shipyard thread once I have more content to display.

Off topic, but who rated all the post (at least on page 1) funny? xD

Update #21: Anti-missile turrets (aka: PD)

So, it's been quite a while since the last update. Mostly because I couldn't figure out how to smoothly install the anti-missile system on the ship. However, I crossed that mental gap and here we are: A ship with so much point defense that missiles might as well go get lost in a sun instead of trying to hit it. Just kidding, but it does take quite a lot to overload the system. Oh, and I added a seam between the grey and black section with light under it (looks quite nice imo).

Some stats:

• 104 PD turrets (96 normal and 8 mini).
• 110 bullets per second, per turret.
• Total stopping power: 10960 bullets per second.
• 360 degree coverage

Spoiler: Normal PD turrets

Spoiler: mini PD turrets

Let me know what you think ^_^

Great work with the normal PD turrets. Seamless integration with the rest of the ship, I couldn't figure out where they were at first :P

Yea, I really didn't want them to stand out too much. Here's what they look like up close :P

I'm wondering how much of the field of fire gets blocked by the hull.

Doesn't really matter as those like the one in that picture are meant to fire to the sides of the ship (where it's unobstructed). I have unobstructed turrets for each side of the ship :P

This thing is insane ... Would love to see this go up against Bench's Smugglers cove ... if the game would even allow for that number of blocks to be loaded at the same time...

I'm actually pretty sure that it could be done :P. And my ship is actually a fair bit bigger than his station, last time I checked. It'd be a fun battle though, I'm sure of that ^_^
[DOUBLEPOST=1424742602,1424742545][/DOUBLEPOST]I wonder if Bench would agree tho.

Am currently doing the final detailing pass on the exterior, I'm pretty satisfied with the shape and every major piece of detail is in place. So basically, the exterior is very close to being finished (I'll still add stuff if I get ideas tho, but all the planed shit is in place)! Currently doing the back cause that' what needs the most love. With that in mind I added some turbine radiator thingies:

They vent excess heat produced by the engines (when the energy isn't required by the ship). They can also be reversed and act as energy collectors if necessary.

Motivation issues...

don't we all?

on EE you have to show me how to make that 150 mil cannon, I NEED TO KNOW KEP... I NEED TO KNOW

 

[Mariux]

Been a long while since I last checked the thread. I see the ship had progressed quite a lot, great job! What are the dimentions at the moment? If you mentioned that already, I'm sorry, it's 30 pages to read...

Projected stats:

• 500 million alpha damage super weapon.
• 12x drill silos (can each drill up to 450m into enemy ships).
• Big ass beam (haven't decided what I want that to do yet)
• 0.5 thrust/weight ratio
• 240 million shields, 8 mil regen/second
• Enough power for all that

Before you all tell me "impossibru", I made a system blob of the same mass as the Charon (with incomplete systems) and got those stats. Also, the drill missiles are tested, here's what three salvos (from 3 silos) did:

Each of those segments is 150m long, third salvo stopped in the middle of the 10th one. Yes, it drilled through 1.5 km of systems while obliterating something like 50% of the material along the way :p.

Edit: Mariux sorry, I keep forgetting to check....

 

[Izikiel]

I've been making sure to check as many threads with titans that I can find for some time now, and I still think that this one is my favourite. I hope my own dreadnought looks even a tenth as good as your ship. I know you get this a lot, but well done.

 

[Keptick]

Thanks mate! This means a lot to me Izikiel
