    Yeah smaller numerous turrets seem to be the way to go. The sweet spot should be where hull doesn't consume most of the volume, but otherwise minimal size.

    No, that is a cannon/beam turret... i have to scrap all my latest designs right now though because of the surprising changes to energy consumption :(
    With missile turrets it seems that smaller but more of them would be maybe the better way to go?


    i wouldn't mind, just don't troll or something
    sounds fun thx.

    Hi!


    playing with rail docked armor and stuff

    also: i am taking a small break (holidays :cool:) - i'll be back
    neat. I was experimenting with that a long time ago before even the new weapons when we just had the pushing pulsar it was basicly a huge slab of shields docked on the side of a Admino Foehammer that would jettison with a pulse push it worked quite well. at the time that is no idea how it would work now.

    I guess the shape is just too simple for my taste., looks like a bunch of cylinders to me

    You need to take a closer look at them ingame.
    Pictures really don't compare to what you see when the ship is fully rendered. Besides there is a lot more ships that just that one. Different styles too.

    and sorry for hijacking the thread, Nuclear :P

    Yeah the USR ships are quite simple, but on the other hand that makes them more "realistic" and believable.
    As I said, the TDS ships do look cooler IMO, especially the Reaper and the new Leviathan



    Guess we should create a new thread for Fractured Space :D

    Are those new? they definitely look better than that oversized cylinder

    What about Zarek industrial? They got some pretty awesome ships, looks a bit fragile but overall I kinda love them.
