Or, you could have accurate, high damage railguns that only pierce three sections (eg. 30000 damage total, 10000 damage per section), that way they wouldn't be able to core a ship, but they would take out a decent chunk of a ship (in this case, six sections unless the sections have more then 10000 life).

I'll look into that then.

Weapons were added, I'm still having trouble with the Equalizers, for some reason, even 5,000 damage per section with a five shot burst won't do any damage to ships.

Is this good, or does it seem like there's a few spots I can add another weapon to?

well I was going to say that the weapon spacing is good and all you might wanna do is shrink some of the weapons like the gats to give a sense of scale, but you already made turrets with the same weapons but different sizes/calibers, which looks great, so Id say your close to done.

Yeah, I just need to get the Equalizers to work good and I'll put up a download for it.

You're sure that the rail guns have a high damage value, of course (20,000 damage if you want to pierce 4 sections, etc., but I'm sure you know that)? I can't see why else they wouldn't damage anything.

Actually...I didn't know that.

I should have Damage at 20,000? And that's if I use 5,000 Damage Per Section?

Sorry, I'm having a blonde moment here, could you show a template to help me out?

your damage value should be set to equal the (amount of damage per section) x (# of sections to apply damage to) .

That's just it, I never figured that out.

Just for kicks...

The Commonwealth designed a weapons base capable of tracking seven different targets with just one system, these systems consist of lower-powered Typhoon Pulsar Beams as opposed to the four-turreted Tempest Pulsars, these weapon systems are usually armed on the Commonwealth Heavy Defense Platforms (Morning Star). These are used to attack the larger ships while smaller platforms take down Strike Craft. Aside from the myriad of Pulsars, the Morning Star is armed with six Vindicator missile launchers.

How do I make this thing spin...?

Nice looking, I like the beams coming out of the megatachyons. To make it spin, just put a value over zero for the turning (eg. 2).

Guess it was the acceleration keeping it from spinning...
Eww...the spinning butchers the weapon's aiming.

Is it just a coincidence that some of your ships resemble the SR-71 Blackbird so accurately? That said, they look terrific.

Long fuselage...big wing struts that look like the intakes...little wings sticking out of the struts...

That never occured to me. Awesome.

Still haven't licked this issue with the Equalizers, have fun with it anyway.

Set acceleration to 0
Set Max speed to whatever speed you want to be able to drag it with a GravBeam at.
Set turning to however fast you want it to rotate (experiment)
