Re: BSF Tournament
ok, sorry for the long delay, i've been bogged down with school etc.
anyway:
kiltric - Tuchax: stats fine,
pyrophage: - leviathan: stats wrong for manouevering, speed calculated as 0.66, accel 0.06 and turning 0.78. you also have spare mass and power allowment, not sure if this was intentional
- cancer: this goes way over the power and mass limits (875 mass over and 195 power) and again the manouevering is too high, how are you calculating that?
the trilobite seems fine though, so that's alright
Destroyer#1: it would help if you list weapon mass/power on stats as well, i'll check against the ship file later
Calvin - Wasp: ok that's great, all entered
Kittenpillar - Owl: stats are fine, now you just need a dowload

There is no OP, there is only more boosters...
Re: BSF Tournament
I assumed that these stats you gave me were accurate (I believe I've preserved the overall mass of the thrusters since that post.)vidboi wrote:pyrophage: also, i added up the mass and power you've stated in the specs and a. you've got a lot left over (not sure if you were aware of this) and b. the speed, accel and turning come out higher for me (0.88, 0.07 and 1.32 respectively)
/
I'll work it out here so you can correct me if I've made an error somewhere.
(800mass*4speed/mass)/14400=.22 speed per heavy thruster
(400mass*4speed/mass)/14400=.11 speed per medium thruster
So .55 total speed, unless I've missed something.
(800mass*.3acceleration/mass)/14400=.0166 per heavy thruster
(400mass*.3acceleration/mass)/14400=.0083 per medium thruster
So .042 acceleration, again, barring any errors.
(800mass*6turning/mass)/14400=.333 per heavy thruster
(400mass*6turning/mass)/14400=.166 per medium thruster
So, again, unless I've missed the mark, the turning is .83
So, I think we were both wrong.
Really hope this doesn't sound smarmy or like I'm trying to 1-up you.
You keep mentioning a surplus, I thought I was just a hair under the limit, is it really so large? I'd really hate to waste points I could be using.
Re: BSF Tournament
it's because you divide the total thrust etc. by used mass, not allowed mass
and iirc it was around 1000 mass or something, i can't quite remember though

Re: BSF Tournament
Updated my post on page 12. Changed download to a .zip. Swapped out the cruiser. Removed the hax weaponry. Also I think I did the armor correctly this time. Let me know if somethings off.
Re: BSF Tournament
ok, thanks jwa, i'll get that checked out

Re: BSF Tournament
Vidboi, I have a question:
the used mass is actually how heavy the spaceship is, the avalible mass is how heavy the spaceship can be to lift off, if it's heavier it would have to be made in an orbital construction platform and would be very slow and cumbersome, however, more to the point is that the weight of the ship is used mass and not allowed mass so really, we should be dividing the thrust by used mass.
This will give people a chance to make their ship lighter so it can move faster while having relative freedom over it's size.

I think the induction of "LOL" "OMG" and "<3" into the Oxford English Dictionary is a sign of the End Times. Only, instead of a rider on a pale horse, it'll be a gibberish-spewing spastic in a monster truck named "The Dildozer".
Re: BSF Tournament
it is divided by used mass... maybe i didn't make that clear enough, i've updated the original post: total mass = used mass

Re: BSF Tournament
shpeshul boy :3it's because you dived the total thrust etc. by used mass, not allowed mass

Re: BSF Tournament
i'm not sure how tired i was when i posted that, but it should've said divide, not dived

LOOK AT THE FIRST ONE THEN THE SECOND ONE :3

Re: BSF Tournament
yeah i know it isn't exactly clear ^^;
but yeah, speed, accel and turning are divided by used mass, not allowed mass

Re: BSF Tournament
jwa, I see a slight problem with the engines on your cruiser
Thrusters Ion (1x): (mass= 1000each)
Mounts: 1x large: mass allowance: 1000, power allowance: 400
Power (each) = (mass*0.5): 500
500 power on a 400 PA mount.

Re: BSF Tournament
Opps So if I make it 800 instead it should be ok right?
