One missile to rule them all

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

One missile to rule them all

Post by Siber »

Having been mightily impressed by the kinetic weapons being created here, I decided to build my own. It may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts.

After slaving away at the ship maker for 15 minutes or so, I decided to test this bad boy out. I had the Velvet Hammer 2 on hand, so I used it for my first test subject. Results below, starting shortly after detonation. I think the pictures speak for themselves, so I'll let them do the talking.

The Velvet Hammer's point defense put a small dent in it, but it wasn't enough. I thought the Hammer's tail section was going to entirely survive, but secondary explosions consumed it. My aim could have been better, too. This weapon has a very narrow spread, and I missed the core.

There are 1001 shrapnel segments inside the ship, in seven clusters. Each segment and the ship itself has 2147483647 HP, the maximum the game will let me enter. The ship is otherwise still base Hestia stats, you have to blow it yourself even. I could spend time tweaking performance stats and fiddling with getting the spread right, but I can't muster the energy to do that. I've already done with this project what I set out to do.

I'm starting to regret releasing the original kinetic missile...

But wow. I think you have the distinction of having an uber-wank missile.

What's this kinetic missile, some form of kamikaze?

A ship (usually fast and with no weapons) that has Kamikaze AI, and packs a large number of small high damage sections. These detonate and cause massive damage to enemy ships.

Could be prettier. The ones I make actually look like missiles :P

And I'll have you know that it took at least six of my Mk 3 EHKMs to only *almost* destroy a VH1.

No, Liz's ships aren't OOGA CHAKA powerful, but they certainly can take a hell of a pummeling!

The thin spread is good, it can punch a clean channel through a fleet of ships.

Like someone taking an eraser and running a big streak across the battlefield.
