Well they shore are pretty looking... And I think I will be making some funny ships. Already have one in design. Tough from now on no weapon tuning except for ranges, deviations and arcs. And no enormous hp growths too… Basically I will try to keep them balanced with original game until normal stats calculator will not be available. Then it will be fun to compete. Like making more powerful ship with fewer points spentSatanic Mechanic wrote:I think we need to take a moment to remember that the people who are participating in the cold war are doing so because it's fun, they are enjoying the challenge and it's creating some really beautiful ships.
Sure if your ship building tastes don't run in the same direction you can't really play against all of the lovely ships they've made, but the cold war is what -they- are doing, and they are having fun.
None of the ships have been designed to make a phantom audience happy, and nor should they, because this game gives you the freedom to find your own fun.
(I think maybe the real issue is that the non cold war style players are jealous of all the pretty toys you guys have)
Then may be I will start to compete in cold war but for now it all is just too chaotic… 
That's what I prefer too but what I see in Cold War is different. Many small sections, huge hp, large outer sections that they could be well covered with deflectors and so on... And large arrays of weapons... and tuned sometimes...TranquilRage wrote:The trouble is, there's no limit to the My ship has X* hit points on every single section and Y* modded beams that do Z* damage mentality.

Someone can always build bigger. And as soon as SM3 comes out the ships will take a leap upwards in size and power, again.
I find it much more fun to build ships within known limitations (like balanced with core or tourny points schemes) that are expectationally well designed vessels. Because there is a challenge in there, and good designs are easy to spot amongst their peers. There is no actual challenge in building the biggest.

This means little. RAN Horatio Nelson can defeat a Ragnarok-class ship with a prolonged battle but a lucky hit from Ragnarok can kill Nelson with a single salvo. It depends on how lucky you are.wonderwhy-er wrote:For now without actual resource all those ‘my ship is stronger’ are just words. And battles do not prove anything… They only mean that ‘ouh may be your ship is stronger. Or may be it has more weapons, more parts, more hp’…

Tough may be even less... I mean that he defenetly has more sections so it hp can be tuned down a little... somewhere near 900-1000 i suppose then...Aralonia wrote:Those are battleships. According to classical definition, a "dreadnought-type battleship" (ex: HMS Orion) weighed approximately 1.8 times greater than the pre-dreadnought class battleship (ex: HMS Lord Nelson).
600 x 1.8 = about 1100, mostly dealing with additional armour, machinery, and approximately 3 times the firepower (10x 13.5" v 4x 12" and various secondary guns).
lolque
Yeah i noticed... Was thinking about adding more then 3 Tyhoons but it's kind of over powered already. It was made for fun cuz of design.Da_Higg wrote:You don't need so many boosters. 6 would give the same effect. If you check the booster energy during reload time they will be stuck at a percentage, as the weapon will only draw x amount of energy.
TACHYONS! Not "Tyhoons", Tachyons. I don't know where the hell you got "Tyhoon" from.wonderwhy-er wrote:Yeah i noticed...

Man, I love that lingering aroma of condescension in your little post. Makes everyone want post more, for the purposes of opening oneself up to belittlement.Cerebrus wrote:I think he meant "Typhoon", because that's what the Tachyons are called in his little tech write-up.
