WYRDYSM GAMES

Try our new and exciting sensor modules!

_________________

what do they exactly do? you've said that they're used to detect ships from a distance, but what effect does this have in game?

In combat? Nothing right now. In the rest of the game? We're still working on it, of course. We can't let you know everything before the game has started.

Ed: This is not the place to discuss sensor rules. It's the place to discuss the shipbuilding rules. End of story. Try making dedicated AWACS ships, ships with/without sensor modules, etc. etc.

Sensors are not mandatory, but going without them is basically suicide too. Keep that in mind.

In combat with my ships that I've made to these specifications, the sensor equipped ships faired incredibly poorly compared to non sensored, how important will sensors be exactly? They will have to be pretty vital to justify putting them on ships, oh and can you decide what the values for pd will be, because at the moment missiles dick on everything.

Sensors are pretty much vital if you want any intelligence what so ever on what you are going to encounter when you move your fleet to another location.

Would you not be able to launch probes or drones/scouts to the location before hand? these would of course be able to be destroyed by enemy fleets as long as they were detected before they could transmit back to the player. I was under the impression that sensor ships would be for long range communication (to call reinforcements or position fleets) or for EW systems.

That's an example of a good signature file, not the thing you have now where you say you're white and your symbol is a sunburst and your enemies are blacks and reds.

Really nice looking ships Starstruck but they were all owned by my scout ship, I didn't even have to control it myself or use my frigate. I would post it but I haven't set the engine HP values yet or the amount of thrust the ship loses from them, however this did not effect the battle as my ship only lost one section against the blind guardian.

Gief download so I can bump up my game. I didn't set my thrust losses yet either.

ok, converted one of my ships to meta rules:





a list of things that i've learnt from this:

a) power cores do not provide enough power for anything other than weapons
b) at the current rate meta 2 ships are going to be slow...
c) system seems biased towards weaponry over everything else

the speed is a little bit off because i lost some stats but i can't be bovvered to do the maths yet have fun with it lol

also it has a heavy power core and heavy engines this was neccesary to give it speed but it has paper armour to compensate for the mass, engines need to be more economical please!

however i appreciate that this is early tech.

Preacher, that ship isn't legal, its size circle is larger than the actual ship.

_________________

when i reposition the core the circle fits perfectly but the core is repositioned towards the rear.

just wondering wih autocannon should they have submunitions? you haven't mentioned them so currently i've left mine as the default

EDIT: what kind of classes will ships be divided into? the eminence is (by my standards) a frigate, but then my ships tend to be quite large, and i was wondering how the sizes will be divided in the actual game to give a sense of comparison
