A few modifications and it would work the same as a rail gun, using artificial gravity blocks on the ship and an artificial mass block on the torpedoes.
the torpedo tube is small enough that blast doors at either side would cover it and leave room to get out... but I think it's offset so swinging doors on rotors might work better but it's still do-able.
All Kinetic missiles should feature 1 small cargo box filled with 20k stone (trust me), then even if the torpedo is dropped by point defense, the 20k of stone once ejected does....heh...amusing amounts of damage.
@@banzeyegaming2234 Torpedoes are a shit anyway. Why people ignore that it was made from Light Armour? Hitting moving target is almost impossible and standard cruiser would do far better job?
@@TheRezro TBH I didn't ask for your opinion... I see that you are commenting on each of the comments on this video, not sure what got you so triggered but that some a lot of time you spend about criticizing other people's work for what reason? Showing that you are better? smarter? prooving what point?
I love designs with the spacing in the armor, I have always been annoyed by how the deformation of an armor block can cause the ones around it to deform a bit as well, which is almost like getting a damage bonus especially from missile blasts. The spacing prevents the deformation from being transmitted to inner layers and reduces the amount of armor you need, letting you shed some weight while getting about the same amount of protection. Functional and aesthetic, someone put a ton of time into it.
the whole ship is very cool, also quite a good armament. the separate design of torpedo can help it deal more damage in my experience. the front part as AP and the part behind as HE. The front AP part to punch a hole on the amour so the HE part can explode inside the ship. IF there is no separate design, the warhead will either triggered on the surface the amour, or damaged and doesn't work even it penetrate.
Missile is great. Its will penetrate heavy armour modules. Like, heavy armour, gyros and heavy armour. With welders and buildandrepair. Its is stopped by the second armoured hull. The fact it is embedded in the primary hull makes this a pain. The buildand repair has to grind it down before the projection is welded. Thus weakening the armour for a long time. You dont want the section on the front to detach. Shields make this unable to penetrate heavy armour modules but good effect on target.
Amazing! I've wanted to build something so similair after seeing the ragnarock gravity missle! Still planning to build it tho! My plan was a longer ships to keep the profiles a lot lower. This one reminds me a lot of the C&C red alert 3 USA amvibious vehicle! Especially with that colorsceme!
cool warship but i think it's more of a misile destroyer or frigate. if it's got plenty of cargo and such maybe cruiser, as it could cruise alone for a good while. But idk I don't see much space for that. not to mention a ships shuttle or something.
It looks kind of like something from Homeworld. Can u do some kind of battle with other people, like Jack, with other ships like this (U know, from carriers to destroyers) and have two teams duke it out ? I'd love to see that.
Mate your videos make me really want to play the game, but I don't even know if there are any decent servers in my country and I would be so far behind everyone already playing in game knowledge XD
Beautiful ship aesthetically, love the spaced armor which is a tres awesome choice from a functionality perspective. My only winges against it is the spaced design down the central line of the ship which opens up into a torpedo bay. Whilst I firmly respect the kinetic torpedo bay on a battleship, the choice of placement atop the split protection for thrust has made a massive weak spot down the central face forward design. The fact all the fixed armaments are front-faced instead of broadside designed means the ships gonna be exposing its weak spot to direct fire in combat... I sense the ship might get 'sploded long before anyone will ever bother trying to cripple it's thrust. That said the protection to the thrusters is spot on and well done (even though I'd never use hydro power in a frontline combattant. Grav drive or go home if you need zippy acceleration). But I worry not enough thought to survivability for the ships internal systems was done. Thrust tucked under the hull will certainly make for survivability when it comes to thrust, in all its clear the designer has actually seen pvp combat. But didn't really account for the split hull design creating a terminal weakness when coupled with the kinetic weapon bay. Hidden control systems not in an obvious ships bridge is a major plus though, kudos to the designer for that. This ship would do better with broadside fixed missile armaments...because a kinetic torpedo is only good when you got the element of surprise on your side, and you will want to protect that weak spot by turning your spaced armor into the line of fire in actual combat, making this a perfect design for putting up broadside fixed gun emplacements. In all though, there's some really good design choices from a pvp perspective, but its achilles heel is worrisome in pitched battle. At least with the tucked away jump drives and the well protected thrust it should be able to make short-jump repairs in combat (if one installs a welding repair system into it) and thus maintain its survivability...or, at the very least it can get away when the limitations of torpedo's as a main armament rears its head. I'd use this as a hit and run heavy hitter on large slow moving or stationary targets. This will not make for a good slug-out vessel, even if it may take a few hits fairly well as long as you don't face your enemy head on. Use it for hit and run tactics, it will do VERY well from that angle of play. Without a decoy defense system, and the weak spot in its armor being down the planes of first contact in combat, don't stay in pitched battle for long. One well placed shot down the central plane of this vessel breaching torpedo bay and possibly hitting its hydro tanks is a dead ship in the making.
can you put these showcases through some sort of dogfight or like star fight with someone really would want to see if these showcases would be practical and it would also be really cool to see
We do see already that it is a shit! You don't need to be genius to notice that you have practically zero chance to hit anything what move and its laughable PDC defense did take out those torpedoes, at least first time (average ship has at least twice of that, not mentioning even proper Escorts). That on top of cool looking, but slow construction of torpedoes. It has good acceleration but you don't win battles just with running and probably a f@ gunboat would have 50/50 chance to win direct confrontation. Because again, good acceleration but lack of decent Point Defense and it is clearly only Light Armour. Only positive I can say about this ship is that it look cool, as creator clearly didn't know nothing, either about game of SF combat tactic.
@@Dr.Fluffles I'm kinda annoyed that they wont add more basic armor blocks like longer slopes or more transitions between the existing ones. and an energy-tab with an overview of producing/consuming blocks is asked for for years.. but as long as people pay for stuff that players already made in the workshop, they wont make useful free updates to the base game..
Die Fischkarte You're sort of nitpicking. There are already dozens of different armor blocks in the game. 1x1, Rounded, 1x2 and halved, all in several different shapes (except half-blocks). There's also both light and heavy variants for all of those. SE has plenty of armor blocks. Some of them lack compatible shapes for certain build configurations, but that sort of problem is a catch 22, because the building system is grid-based. Add a new armor block shape, and you'll just end up with more missing filler for the existing ones. Other than that, I mostly agree with you.

(half and 0.5x0.5x1 slope). there isnt even a much needed 2x2x1 inverted corner for the 2x1x1 corner tip and base, a transition block for the slope 2x1x1 base to 1x1x1 corner or a 1x1x0.5 corner. a lot of time I see people use the mods for the long 1x1x3 or 1x1x4 slopes and corners - why didnt they made it into the game already? corner blocks are the core of building in this game! and if you keep things vanilla - there isnt much variety after a while and you always get to the point where a few new armor blocks would help you realize your original ideas.

If you want your ship to survive an engagement then covering every inch of it in turrets is the way to go. If the modern military had auto targeting tech like that you can bet they'd cover their vehicles in turrets. Function over form is what wins the day in the end. I mean is it a battleship if it wasn't really made for battle?
Yes, they have better, yes and no... this Artillery Destroyer clearly is not a Battleship. By own Battleship is riddled with turrets. Has ten layer armor (around CIC at least) and can only move with use of jump-drives as it has no "mobility structural weakness" aka engines. It can rotate only because I did use notable amount of gyro-armor. Well, as average Battleship should...
@@TheRezro Mobility is crucial to survival, thrusters aren't a structural weakness, if you're a sitting duck then that's the biggest weakness of all. Also if it can only jump then it cant really get too close to a base on an asteroid or really get close to very much at all, in an actual engagement I'd just move around it. 10 layers of armor is overkill. Once your turrets are taken out by the enemy turrets then your ship isn't really combat capable and has practically lost the fight. Armor should only be used to protect your vital systems, keeping the stray bullets from penetrating the hull. If the enemy can penetrate 2 layers of heavy armor then they can probably penetrate 10, also this puts your ship way above it's weight class in terms of firepower to weight ratio. Your ship can't enter atmosphere or even get close, it's restricted to very few opportunities for engagements.
@@andrewgodly5739 "Mobility is crucial to survival" In a cruiser. Whole point of Battleship is to hold position and mobility is useless for that (well, beside maybe theoretical shield-ship concept, where it help intercepting enemy fire). "thrusters aren't a structural weakness" Don't lie to yourself... "if you're a sitting duck then that's the biggest weakness of all" In a cruiser, yes. But in the fleets, there is something known as roles. And in this case you only weakens is inability to defend ships defending you. And those Artillery and Escort Destroyers need someone to keep pesky Cruisers on distance. "Also if it can only jump then it cant really get too close to a base on an asteroid or really get close to very much at all, in an actual engagement I'd just move around it" Well, it is generally hard to do that with whole fleet anyway. You have auxiliary units for that. You do know we talking here about Battleship? "10 layers of armor is overkill" In case of Battleship such word isn't applicable. "Once your turrets are taken out by the enemy turrets then your ship isn't really combat capable and has practically lost the fight" But it still can defend own Escort Carrier from enemy Artillery Cruiser. Mobility wouldn't not do a shit in such case. "Armor should only be used to protect your vital systems, keeping the stray bullets from penetrating the hull." Yes. In a Cruiser. But it wouldn't be enough to tank Atlas Laser. So thing for what Battleships literally do exist... "If the enemy can penetrate 2 layers of heavy armor then they can probably penetrate 10" No shit. But he still wound need time for that. Time ships you defend need to win. "also this puts your ship way above it's weight class in terms of firepower to weight ratio" In case of Battleship this ratio is zero. Guns are only bonus. You don't really need them for tanking aka whole point of Battleship. "Your ship can't enter atmosphere or even get close, it's restricted to very few opportunities for engagements" Well, whole fleets generally can't do that anyway because why the fuck you would fly them into planets? You have Assault Frigates for that. Even in case of regular Frigates this ability is useless.
