In either case the drill needs to be bigger. That one you can insert up to the "hilt" there and then you have to.... back up? That's not tactically sound. Better to have a larger drill in which you can just keep going right on through.

Well if the drill did get stuck, then all this ship needs is some kind of gravatic stabilizers, so that when the drill turns the enemy ship turns with it!

I'd like to take a moment to point out that the drill in question is large enough to significantly damage or outright impale most ships. Something tells me it's more of a brute-force-meets-finesse weapon anyway. You don't blunder into an enemy's heaviest, thickest armour, you basically use it like a stilleto and shank them in weaker, thinner areas that are more vulnerable. More bang for your buck that way.Krishach wrote:In either case the drill needs to be bigger. That one you can insert up to the "hilt" there and then you have to.... back up?

Charge another drillship that's been de-drilled and you only go about a third of the way into the overall chassis, and it might be nasty but those broadside armaments are mostly unharmed. But if you come in at an angle between the engines and the wing, you can skewer it diagonally via the center or shred the wing support area. Far more effective.

Very, very nice. Good design, interesting execution of the concept. Good job. I assume you drew the silhouette of the ship and turned it into multiple sections to get the shield?

What can I say? I love that ship.

Warpman; we have something called Direct Control. This thing *is* combat viable, and with a shield the nifty it's pretty well defended while going close in.
