I doubt this will stand toe to toe with the powerhouses you guys make since i balanced it with the canon ships, but I created this armored battleship not long ago.

I'll try and whip something up that can compete here.

A comment on the HMS Invincible you say it is for armor only battles but the most common weapon on the ships is designed to take out sheilded oppenents. Just seems illogical.

Why is all the PD facing one direction...

... All point defense have 360* firing arcs...

Yes, but I recall that in Milk Run, it said that Point Defense have weaknesses when fired from behind it's starting angle, or something like that.

I believe you mean the Asteroid Platforms (The Defenses)

Turrets with turning rates higher than 1 (which all PD have) will randomly traverse their arcs. So hitting them from behind isn't much of a difference.

The key point is to hit PD from two directions at once. That way it will be less effective since it will waste time traversing across both vectors. In Milk Run you hit the pirate ships from the rear because the space station will be firing from the front and in that way you will make its interceptors split fire between two sides.

Aethetics.
I couldn't think of any other suitably long ranged, exploded boom-thing to fill the role of a 19 inch gun.

well no amount of armor can posibly not avoid a beam weopon that has its power at or over 10000.

Deathguard · Post by **Deathguard** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:58 am

Yes, but a beam weapon with power over 10000 is f***ing retarded when placed into the context of explosive projectile NAVAL craft.

no shtik but its still pretty funny when you see this little guy take out a huge ship all by its self

I'm sorry, I find no amusement in pitting 10000 dmage beamers against anything, since said weapons require NO strategy.
