[Battleships Forever] New ship: Sword of Satan!
Anyone remember this game? I made me a new ship...
Plan view. Warning: long ship is long.
Action shots! Note: most of these were taken prior to fit of bow gravitic engines to alleviate stresses in the long hull.
Prototype hull on space trials previous to weapons and systems installation. CIWS defense installed to prevent damage by wayward space debris.
Ship gets weapons and a name: Sword of Satan.
Weapons tests.
Sword of Satan absolutely dwarfs a standard military spacestation.
Sword of Satan demonstrates her omnidirectional thrust capability of her engines by strafing directly to port.
And now the reason for the twin turret rows.
Primary weapon is known as the Evil Beam, and for good reason.
This is what it does. Target is a Hypercube, one of the more powerful ships built and infamous for sheer tough. Two Evil Beam pulses did that!

On discovering that most soldiers during the American Civil War were dying of disease rather than gunshots, he turned his mind to, rather than providing better sanitary conditions and medical care for troops, creating a machine to make sure they got shot faster.

I promise a treat if you scroll through to the bottom.
Toldja!
Refitted the gun turrets, reinforced the Evil Beam cover plate, installed stern chase turrets.

Suddenly, a Sword of Satan appears!
SoS rips a huge bite out of Hypercube as everyone opens fire.
OzyDragon bites back with its primary weapons while something (Hypercube I think) Frosches the shit out of the SoS.
Hypercube bought it, so OzyDragon hammers into the Sword.
SoS 1 dead, a second challenger appears...
...and trades huge damage with the OzyDragon.
Apispatha Pyriferra tastes the Evil Beam's fury; 90% of OzyDragon becomes glowing space dust.
Result: One severely damaged SoS. Easily half its hull is missing in this shot.

What's more significant is I bumped up the HP of the main structural members to more accurately reflect that they're solid fucking pieces of tridimensional nanotube mesh in an amorphous hafnium-boron alloy matrix along with a very heavy armored collar of same around the Core. This is actually more in line with Aralonian and IVL shipbuilding practice.Lord-General Thunder wrote:You Aegised the entire ship, you bastard...
As for the aegis, let's just say I acquired a few examples of technology from a race called the Hy'Rakkans. Considering the Sword's biological construction (enabling the interesting bleedingedge-tech 'bones' described above), this was very easy to integrate indeed.
