This page is all you need for infos on modules and weapons.

Refer to the page linked for any problem with weapons customization.

If shit still hits the fan, then try a... reinstall.

Am I the only one who makes modest ships -_-

My ships may look powerful, but often suffer from poor turret coverage and, most of all, excruciating maneuverability. So with good micro, smaller ships can defeat them quite easily. And if the maneuverability is actually somewhat good, like the Schwalbe, the ship is a fighter and hence has very poor armour protection.

NOTE: All direct support ships, like their WWII counterparts, have only forward-facing weapons (with the exception of the occasional flak turret in the lighter variants), so attacking from the sides or rear is imperative to bring these monsters down.

Yeah. but even if they have no weapons from the behind, their forward weapons will rape most ship before they can flank them

Do the demeters launch on their own?

The weapon version launches on its own like other weapons. The Pod Launcher module has to be fired manually like other modules.

How come my modified uber railguns on this ship I'm working on don't work???None of my custom weapons seem to work???

Somebody please help!

There's no way it couldn't work, assuming you do the right thing:

1. Place weapons
2. Right click, then select Set HP, Clip Size etc. (This has to be done manually to each weapons on the ship)
3. Save and upload in sandbox
4. ????

I do that but it just doesn't work.eg. I start a game with the new ship with customized weapons and they don't fire.

Does anybody know why this might be happening!?

Make sure none of your values are inappropriate, nothing like -2 or 100000


And to everyone; though All of your ships have good sheilding coverage, they are incredibly brittle in design, I suggest you take on skeleton, or scale style plate design to your ships, instead of the stick like or hole-through-to-the-core-of-your-ship style
and then re-enforce all areas of the ship by placing extra pieces around the outsides.

Best ship yet. It sure as hell aint brittle. It's got 3 Nanites, 6 Deflectors, and tons of extra plating.

Do you think it's a Destroyer, or Super Destroyer in your opinion? =0

[Waris]

More than a battleship IMO =)

Looks much more secure, nice job
And you can class it how you want, but from the Skirmish classes, Super-Battleship.

BTW:The Odin got totaled in 20 seconds by a new ship I'm working on, the moter of all uberships.

Does it beat this?

Here's my carrier / secondary commandship, I'm still working on ideas for a new flagship. (Yes the killer triangle has been retired)

I give you the Prometheus!

Edited by General Kirkov, 24 November 2007 - 20:17.

[Zancloufer]

You need more Flak Kirvok. My Ships have almost half their weapons as Flaks/Partical guns, as they can incercept enemy fire.

[Mathias]

I see people are beating the Odin with (presumably) railgun spam or fully aegised ships. How about I add two more arms to it when Shipmaker 3.0 is out?

Yeah good idea. But does it look nice? It's one thing to assemble a giant invincible triangle but quite another to make a good looking well armed ship.

Waris, I wasn't talking about the shape. I was talking about the general attitude "mine's bigger/better than yours".

I don't spam railguns honestly not a fan, also down with shields! A ship should be able to take another with well placed armament and damage control devices. Not too mention decent tactics.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well, I've made my first uber ship and it can take down the Odin.And it doesn't spam aegises, though it does have some.

Problem: Odin=way to poweful

Solution:



These to uber ships have a big surprise in store, so no screenshots,wait till you actually get to play with it.

uber ship=HMS Robert Oppenheimer

so 1337 that it beats anything ship=HMS Edward Teller

Those who beat the Odin might want to take it to level 2 and try beat the Odin and my other übership "Moon Cleaver" at the same time. Both are vulnerable from the back and sides, but the Moon Cleaver is even more lethal to small ships and unpredictable than the Odin.

Bleh, nobody seems to have noticed my big beastie up there

Edit:
I quadrouple chinese Dragon Dare someone to take it on, I'll attatch it with my fleet when it's ready
