Just wondering though, when are we going to see more progress on whatever your elusive cruiser is called now? I know that the blind orphan refugees can be pushed harder, so make it happen!

Nice. Kind of like a giant bird\'s... er, wingy thing\'s beak. Especially since it\'s yellow. Interesting that you put the Effluvia Tunnels vertical as opposed to horizontal this time.

i found it hard to follow what you were saying. but if i am hearing this right you are scraping the ensemble class and making a new escort carrier.

 

[MisterVec]

We\'re keeping the Ensemble. Much like the Nocturne, it\'s simply recieving a full rebuild and heavy redesign.

 

[Tacotown99]

i think i get what your saying Vec, this new ensemble is complete redesign from the old one.

Over in AVA we have always enjoyed the look of your gunship Forte. However with our change to Green/white we felt it needed an overhaul. With our Norse Themed naming we went with one of the two wolves of Odin Freke. After extensive changes and a whole new drive section installed here is the rebuilt Forte-ala Freke



In the image you can see we have mounted modified versions of VFW\'s Quad turrets, as well as our own new 6 bank Missile Turrets. The Freke\'s main hull weapons are a pair of medium speed anti-matter guns.

The Combine\'s own Talon class gunship is about half done, ill post a pic here for posterity when she\'s finished, probably late tomorrow night. The Talon gunship features two 8-pack McRoss Massacre missile pods, two underslung Razorback light turrets, two carapace mounted Shortspear sniper turrets, and a nose mounted Needle turret. As well as a troop bay and a slushie machine.

Is one sweet-lookin\' ship. I like what you\'ve done with it!

The Forte is probably my favorite as well.

 

[Bangelon]

I put the Freke through some combat and the Bunker Buster missile turrets would not fire on enemy pirates. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong or is the bobby just not able to use them yet.?

 

[MisterVec]

I\'ve seen the AI use hull-mounted dumbfires, but only semi-reliably. The bobby AI just doesn\'t handle missiles very well if at all at the moment.

 

[Bangelon]

I am glad you like the changes I made to the Forte Vec, once I get it uploaded be my guest to blow them up or take any design ideas you can get from it.



I am also thinking of putting together an unguided torpedo(detonator) for mounting on the lower docking points for attack runs against large targets.

Currently adding a single AMC and weapons computer to your missile turrets will make them function (at least SD-BB) I think they still have range issues that was supposed to be patched. MY duel purpose turrets work great and I added a \"targeting laser\" to all my dedicated ship to ship missile launchers.

 

[Bangelon]

Thanks for the update Sven, I\'ll get to making a few changes and running some new tests.

Enter the VFW Forte Hijinx Photo Contest for a chance to win one of your choosing.

EDIT: FIXED!

 

[RedDwarfIV]

A number of EA turrets use either heatseeking or lock-on missiles. I\'ve seen them work before, they just don\'t fire very often.

Great ship I really like the colours! Just saw the Nocturne-class Heavy Destroyer on Koto and Sens youtube channel

 

[MisterVec]

Woah! Neat!

It\'s this one.

 

[Cybertooth]

Haha it would appear vecordean fleetworks is getting famous!

 

[MarshalPicturesProductions]

The UEI will now have to step up its game. We have a new Air-to-Ground (AtG) infantry fighter out. *DISCLAMER!* ** The UEI does not claim any responsibility for wars lost due to this ship being used as a dog-fighter. This ship is Anti-Infantry/Ground Vehicles ONLY!**

 

[Aerzaal]

That\'s the SCS refit! Score one for this guy!
