The Nexus hunt.

[Crusade]

Hello there!
I'm holding a competition, build a fully functional ship tough enough to take down Nexus. Winner gets bragging rights!

Rules:
55,000 mass limit
Needs an interior
Needs a full hull
No modded Nexus'
Needs to at least resemble a ship.

If you doubt the possibility, remember that Nexus can destroy itself. Your ship has to be able to withstand nexus' firepower. Which will remain undisclosed.



Nexus' stats:

Mass: 50,153.4
Length: 270m, Height: 86m, Width: 112m
Power: 28,259,313.6 | 2,812,001.5 e/sec
Thrust 47,953.4
Shields: 230,542.0 | 129,760 s/second

Good hunting!

I won\'t be taking on this challenge but i\'d love to watch if someone does. It would be cool if someone could record this amazing battle. Or even better if I could be lucky enough to be a the server where it happens. Anyway, good luck to any who can find the courage to take on this beast of a ship.

i would love to give it a go but i dont have all that much experiance with making huge ships. (mainly medium super effeicent ships). in this fight would the nexus be computer controlled or manned (obiusly turrets computer controled but what about main ship). would i have to solo it or could i have friends maning turrets on my ship.

also one quick question

rule2: needs an interior. what sort of interior? will a room to hold the core, a room for weapons systems and chests and some coridors so that you can get to them from the outside do.

 

[Crusade]

Full interior, not on the scale of Nexus itslef, but something nice, a few seperate rooms, core room, that sorta thing/

I ACCEPT! My Maelstrom will fight your Nexus! We will need like another few days to build though... Anyways, this will be fun Crusade :D

Is the nexus the giant pirate space station? If it isnt then could you post a picture of the ship?

 

[TBterra]

just as a way of making it slightly more fair on the people who haven\'t seen the nexus page before the weapons system was classified, the nexus has aprox 240k dps from around 530 guns (geussing ceckerboad array) it also has 11 lockon missile arrays but they are of unknown size.

i will be enetering the event. im fairly good at making medium ships that are very powerfull for there size (i made a raven beater for 400 mass with more firepower, double the sheilds, a salvage array and still a full hull)

so we will see if my calculations for max effecency will scale up far enough to take on the nexus

I am entering a modified version of my Goliath destroyer-dreadnaught.

I am too tired to post more at the moment, so satisfy yourself with some nice pictures.

And finally, what it can do to a Nexus within 10 seconds of opening fire. (And the Nexus can\'t even break the shields, btw )

That\'s some fine work!

 

[TBterra]

probably a stupid question but can you place more than one block at once. i know you have use mirroring but placing 100k shield blocks one at a time is getting tiresome. i know there\'s a function with X,Y and z with number next to them but i cant get that to do anything

 

[Torrel]

You might have won...but u gota admit....the Nexus looks a lot cooler!

 

[darth]

Hold ctrl, change values of xyz to get the \"brush\" bigger, than while holding ctrl Lclick to place blocks, Rclick to delete (little tricly, it deletes the mirror image of brush, use carefully). 10x10x10 * 8 (3-axis mirroring)= 8k blocks placed in 1 click.

The challenge is just... Omg. I have trouble destroying ships with 100k shields XD

 

[TBterra]

ive looked over my options and as far as i can tell once you get into the big ships your options are simple. take out the other ships sheild and make a hole to their core before they can get through your sheild.

soo... i decided to give my ship a small DPS advantage. 1million dps should do, i only have 250k sheild regen though so i could easly kill myself. once you take down the sheilds then you need to make a very fast tunnel to the core. 8 separate missile launchers each firing a volly of 2 missiles (there fired at the same time but one is 10meters infont of the other. each missile will destroy any block in 28block radius

I think I will make a large death star related ship to try and take down the nexus.

I have little to no experience in making large ships, so the end result will be ... interesting.

I know 1.3 million dps (Thunderclap) melts right through nexus with ease, trouble is, you need massive energy regen to keep the fire up. Nexus can deal pretty high damage itself, and the scenario is nexus is firing back by a skilled pilot.
