Space Thread:Battles Long Sinced Passed Edition

You never learn

You two need to settle this to the death already. Every single thread.

Your Memes=Eternal Dreams

Tell him that he's just jealous that no one knows about his ship and quickly became out of date whiles mine Saw the Rise and Fall of the Empire and beyond

Best ship coming through

It's too easy… and getting boring - most who post it don't even know why it's the best ship
Post best ship that's NOT the Venator
Pics related: I'm undecided between the Orion class or the Daedalus

But user, RNG and endless grind are perfectly valid and fun and engaging game mechanics that require high level of skill and critical thinking! Anyone who disagrees and thinks that the game is shallow must be some inferior play-to-win metagaming dreg without any creativity or imagination (tm)!

I wanted to stab myself in the eye repeatedly after having played an hour of Rebirth. They have tried to fix the game several times since release. One can't fix a shit game.
You won't regret X3 though. It's damn fun

Using carriers for frontline combat is a mistake

Both your ships are pleasing in their roles, but mediocre as favorites. The Star Destroyer Conqueror and all other pocket superweapon ships, be they dreadnoughts or super dreadnoughts, are the only true shipfus. A death star in a compact package, made on the relative cheap while being more than capable of smashing whole fleets with a modest screening escort and killing other supercapitals and Yuuzhan Vong worldships in a flash. The physical key to continued galactic dominance.

At least, if they would stop getting taken out by single fucking fightercraft piloted by Jedi with plot armor, or somehow entrapped and destroyed by groups of other capitals without escort because of reasons, or stolen by shitty smuggler consortiums, or produced in too limited numbers because the Emperor can't stop sucking down Sith alchemy cocktails and DICK to stop making FUCKING SUPERFLUOUS BATTLE PLANETS INSTEAD OF SCADS OF MINIMUM SUPERWEAPONS THAT CAN BE ADDED TO EVERY MAJOR BATTLEGROUP.

FUCK.

user, say it with me: "My choices are shit and I am angry because of it."

Don't tell me to say that, tell the Emperor and his great big metal balls. And tell George Lucas and his fetish for plot designated villains' superweapons being destroyed at minimum cost to the heroes' faction before they ever become relevant except for destroying a petty amount of enemy material or making martyrs of a single planet, when they're supposed to be capable of eating their own weight in ships or more in a single engagement by the numbers.

For fuck's sake, the Malevolence in particular was destroyed because Anakin 'tampered' with the navicomputer in such a fashion that an attempted hyperspace jump instead drove the ship into a moon, with no failsafes for invalid coordinates or to check for hyperdrive damage, nor any check by the maybe half-dozen standard battle droids droids responsible for the jump that any of the pending repairs had actually been done before attempting a jump, and the droids subsequently failing to reset the ships' course, because for some reason the droids both have to use analog command consoles instead of wireless ones AND are physically incompetent while appearing to be completely sapient. But only enough so to be ditzy comic relief that whinge about how they have 'a bad feeling' and/or scream that they're going to die, before promptly being killed.

This was after Annie & company drove directly through the entire top belt of turbolasers set to flak burst without suffering so much as a grazing shot except on one nameless clone pilot that got shot down by one direct hit out of thousands of misses, threaded a ridiculous needle flying between the main hull and the pointlessly outward jutting ion cannon ring to torpedo some exterior couplers of dubious purpose, and thus cause both of the ion cannons to explode and somehow damage the hyperdrive in the first place. Also, there was a shitty lightsaber fight in which Grievous is a pushover instead of a combat monster because he's reduced to a literal Saturday morning cartoon show villain. Except when he started out in that exact role in the Clone Wars cartoon, Grievous kicked the shit out of absolutely everyone with no trouble whatsoever until Windu force crushed his guts and led to him having to fight while crippled in Episode 3, and still being a combat monster even then.

Why does George Lucas vision of the universe have to be almost uniformly shit compared to anyone else that has laid hands on the IP pre-Disney shekelberg shitshow?

Tell us something we don't know user

The Venator is great because she is powerful as a ship and Carrier

If I was looking for just power as a requirement for a shipfu I would not have chosen the Ventaor but I can agree that rebel scum always annoyed me. And while I agree that the clone wars cartoon was great it had some plot points as well I mean seriously grevious jumping out of the way of those lagging force attacks was just dumb but the point remains My shipfu doesn't rely on cheap tricks or planet buster lasers to win.

fuckin hell user, did I put your balls in a vice and slam a door on it?

Wouldn't that AT-AT have fallen over?

You need fucking reminding, that's what you don't know. Never forget the Genndy Tartakolocaust.

Yes, yes, battlecarriers are all well and good, and the Venator is a particularly good one, but wouldn't it be better if it was a battlecarrier that also had a superlaser? Just point your capship at their capship, and it's gone! It's a brand of force multiplier that is far more effective than carrier air groups in space.

Sure, it doesn't have quite so much utility in putting fightercraft in atmosphere, but the fightercraft wouldn't be much help beside for very precise strikes on targets of modest tactical value, and all of the capital escorts are already filling the role of a battleship/carrier.

A superlaser, on the other hand, can just fire into the atmosphere at a highly throttled down power level, rapidly leveling higher tactical and strategic targets with no realistic chance for retaliation. Unless there's huge and highly expensive planetary defense guns over the horizon line of the planet that the superlaser carrier is orbiting too close to, and if that is the case and the carrier is destroyed, then just bring in a second cheap superlaser ship! It's the only logical thing to do.

No, but the Death Star trench runs sure as fuck did.

YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED

hi

...

Whoever previous thread claimed Dual Universe would be a console MMO is a morron untill proven otherwise. It's been presented at the PC Gaming Show 2016 and they even said it themselves.

More important, JC Baillie said in an interview he "offers a world completely void of real life events and referals", which is not gonna work since there is a market in the game and "endless freedom of creativity". I predict Iron Sky moon bases in the first closed beta testings.

...

whoever claims dual universe will be a mmo at all is a moron. the technology for what they're claiming they're doing doesn't exist.

The same issue that applies to carrier/battleship mixes also applies superweapon/other mixes. Yes, it is going to give it a wider range of roles, but the different functions can be better served on dedicated craft with other ships filling the same roles. Unlike battle carriers like the Star Destroyer, it isn't really useful for a single ship patrol either.

Granted, making a dedicated super weapon ship, with only that, is stupid unless the way the super weapon works makes it so that it isn't feasible to add plenty of weapons or carrier capacity to your super weapon carrying ship.

Literally every Star Destroyer was capable of doing this. A sizable enough bombardment fleet could render a planet's surface to molten rock in a matter of days.
Superlasers are used primarily for psychological effect or piercing powerful ship/planetary shields.

That's true. But the pocket superlaser concept is less a matter of being more practical than standard capital ships as much as being a far more effective supplement to said ships than overconstructed things like the Death Star, which are far, far more powerful than necessary to destroy a Vong worldship.

That said, a universal semi-super capital ship between the 1,500 meter Star Destroyer and the huge 17,500 meter Eclipse- let's say a little longer than the 4,845 meter Malevolence, a nice round 6,000-7,000 meters- would at some expense remove the lack of versatility (in particular, giving back carrier capacity) and self-defense & durability, this at the cost of increasing monetary & material cost to at least that of the equivalent tonnage of smaller capitals, most likely more, while also reducing the number of construction & servicing stations available to the class. But, like the Malevolence, it'd make for a very good all-in-one raiding group in addition to being a reasonable supercapital and still far more efficient than the Death Star. One can also simply produce both a Star Destroyer scale superlaser for heading smaller groups and for general fleet support as well as a pocket Eclipse for Bismarck style solo raiding & fleet command and control operations.

Sure, but at Star Destroyer scale it's supposed to be the centerpiece of a battlegroup or a hunter-killer squadron, you never send it out alone, and at Super Star Destroyer or half SSD scale it's big enough to slap any battlegroup it can take on and jump out otherwise, assuming that Star Wars interdiction systems don't do so well on excessively large jumping masses, not sure. It deals out disproportionate amounts of hurt for the size of the ship while typically under the cover of other capitals and their escorts, and at normal Star Destroyer scale, still does not entirely skimp out on self defense turbolaser batteries, and at Super Star Destroyer scale, slings out a very large amount of conventional hurt at enemy battleships in addition to popping the flagship of an enemy squadron or fleet at the outset and continuing to destroy capital ships outright as the weapon recharges. Interdictors interdict. Superlaser ships superlase. Specialized role-based construction is key, and key to these ships' functioning is support by highly effective and standardized generalist ships like the Imperial I and II classes.

The calculations done by Star Wars vs Trek autists show that the Death Star puts out astronomical amounts of energy in order to make Alderaan fly apart at the speed that it does. Therefore, seeing as primary canon ships like the Eclipse and secondary/tertiary canon ships like the Conqueror exist, I maintain that the use of minimum superweapons would be the most efficient fashion by which to fulfill the Tarkinn Doctrine while also fulfilling conventional military needs for practical heavy duty anti-capital weapons. And furthermore, said minimum superweapons are the best shipfu, and I'll fucking fight you if you say otherwise.

It's not infeasible. That's what the Darksaber was; a flying superlaser with the minimum power plant necessary to run a Death Star scale superlaser. However, as it was built by ADD afflicted hive mind space North Korean housefly furby monsters on the budget of a chintzy Hutt, the thing fell to pieces instead of firing. However, since a superlaser of the Death Star's scale is not overly useful, the Darksaber itself isn't much more reasonable.

Correct, but that is 'a matter of days.' A superlaser ship with a support fleet will do it in a fraction of the time and significantly more precisely with the kind of targeting systems one is going to have centered around the primary weapon, or if one is actively seeking collateral damage, infinitely less precisely. It's easier to put the shots you want where you want them with a big gun, with big sights, which you can throttle down for a quicker recharge, as opposed to saturation firing with lots of little capital ship weapons.

Which are incredibly useful roles, and when combined with a minimalist design of the laser and ship in question, do not come with the severe cost baggage that these two roles usually imply. Beside that, enemy supercapitals are not going to go down cleanly without another supercapital or a pocket gun with the output to run one through, which partially falls under the 'powerful shields' clause, but also for those ships that have simply too much mass to destroy or even to inflict disproportionate damage on before your losses are the disproportionate ones instead of theirs.

What kind of space battle is best to write about?

Danger close volley fire? super long range pew pew fire? ramming the other ship then boarding the enemy ship and killing every man, woman and child on board?

I've always like tense sneaking around in debris field with quick deadly exchange of fire.

Thats fun too, a few ships blast a few shots and then dissapear into the field.

Enemy ships jump right into the middle of your formations and begin danger close volley fire, akin to the Battle of Coruscant from Star Wars Clone Wars.

For added affect, include a few boarding actions or abandon ship protocol's.

The battle getting progressively more and more deadly for both sides

All of the above, in their time and place. All that matters is that the scale is apocalyptic. Stakes must be high for those on the front, but relatively low from a materiel and population reserve angle. There must be meatgrinding, or grand sweeping offenses, and better yet, both. The same applies to land warfare, furthermore.

I love it so far, the idea i have is that two big space ships alone in a planet system collide mid battle, both ships are dying and only one will survive.

I was thinking something on the lines of Super high tech space ships while everything else is low tech: Swords, ballistic weapons and blinding bloodlust.

Forget the Venator, the Pellaeon is the best star destroyer.

Better weapons than the old Imperial II and it has an interdiction field, so no need to have a dedicated interdictor in your fleet, just bring another Pellaeon.

Yes Yes, They then engage in boarding crews and fire fights in zero g and on board the ships

I agree it's a good ship in fact I would never recommend the Ventaor to become the standard ship again unless it gets a v2 to it's design in order to keep up with the more modern ships but no matter what she is my ship and I love her

all, in phases.

Phase 1
Super long range artillary fire. It's not so much as meant to hit anything as it's meant to push either side in certain strategical positions in preparation of phase 2

Phase 2
Entering mid-range and danger-close combat. The whole buffet of weapons aboard ships is now used to either counter missle-fire, bombers, drones and hold a slug-fest with the enemy. When ammo is starting to get low, phase 3 comes in action.

Phase 3
Boarding pods are launched to pacify the remaining enemy vessels, active or immobile. This is the gritty part of the fight where it's the job of the original crew to either push back the invaders or take them with them in the self-destruct. The invading force must prevent this somehow and manage to take control over the vessel.

None of the above.
Just two dudes in debt up to their eyeballs fighting over wreckage with their non-combat salvage ships in the deep depths of space.

So, blueberries are now part of the game.
How is your battlefleet doing?

Life is dissapointing

Feels good killing republican scum!

How they are in gameplay?

Their face cna withstand a tactical nuke, their weapons all fire to forward arc and to the side that the turrets are on.
Tons of high rate of fire weapons, many of the ships have launch facilities for missiles (torps that home in on targets) and strike craft (bombers can be upgraded to have a strike suit compliment which causes a boarding action per bombing run).
They turn fast and move somewhat slow, also they can be given an upgrade that makes them invisible till they are first detected.
Also their auxiliary ships are pretty stronk, yesterday i had a battle against one cruiser, two LCs and one demiurg stronghold with my Retribution class battleship and three cruisers plus one widowmaker.
It ended in both sides losing all their ships.
Your best bet against tau is to get close and dirty, ram them to death and try to get as many of your guns to fire at the same time as possible, long range torpedo spam wont do a thing due to shitloads of AA turrets on their ships, same goes for the strike craft.
Also boarding works well.

What am I looking at?

is Captain Harlocks ship for the live movie.
Is star trek I think, either online or more likely armada 3.

Borg titan in Armada 3, based on the Unimatrix 0047 Command Ships in Star Trek Online.

But the Elite Dangerous subreddit is actually good.

The 30% for instant was probably mostly the subreddit, otherwise it would have been way more for delay. The forums just dwarf it unfortunately.

Fdev really do not realize the autism/dedication of their community.

i like a lot of the mechanics behind ftl, and id like to see them applied to another game.

cat penis

Fucking disgusting. They ruined art of one of the best American romantic painters by shitting a le sci fi XD pop culture reference on it. It's wrong perspective, too. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

oh? would you post the original?

Jesus fucking Christ that was a retarded movie from start to finish.

after thinking about it, 2 dudes climbing out of debt is probably more interresting than the only survivor scenario

Watch the webm nothing interesting happens.

Fuck you

This is a much more interesting webm

it's a metaphor for how we humans have been recklessly making our choices in life, knowing it would bite us in the ass later in life, and still act surprised when it does.

…or the director was high as a kite.

what the fuck did you expect?
an Ayylmao zipping across the screen?

Honestly it's kind of a shit metaphor even if that is true. It's like taking cyanide then being surprised if you die.

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I WANT TO SEE IT GO ALL THE WAY

It didn't, the asteroid glitched and ate the machine whole.

I went through more of it later with another one but it all wouldn't fit in the 12mb cap

Precise bombardment would also be in the domain of Star destroyers. Base Delta Zero operations (the form of bombardment I was referring to) are for annihilating a planets entire surface to ensure the destruction of all possible assets. A star destroyer could devastate a planets population in a matter of minutes, launch precision strikes in seconds.
Superlasers are only necessary for bombardment when a planet (Alderaan for example, or even Hoth) have incredibly powerful defensive shields.

...

I'm becoming way too good at this.
Very impressive paintings, particularly the first one.
The shading is sublime.

Alright, what you want?

Is there anywhere else to grab mods for this game or am I just going to have to wait?

You'll probably have to wait. Most mods are really on there, or at least have the link to them their.

So is it a bad time to show you what Disney thought (or what retards think) the Battle of Yavin was like? Did you know there were like Star Destroyers and Interceptors and WE WUZ REBELS N SHIET and boarding the Death Star? Well Disney says they did all that. "30 rebel fighters" includes niggers in special needs helmets shooting the guns from Dark Forces inside the Death Star because reasons

But it's not.

If a dog can do it, anyone can

I'm not even going to click on that because it's going to get me upset

Well, a dog can balance, so unless the AT-AT was balanced perfectly when it stopped, it would've fallen over.

but star wars battlefront is dead, nobody is playing or let alone buying it.

The forums are what the devs listen to most times, though.

Looks like the idea is the battle starts with the rebels attacking the star destroyer defending the deathstar it must have been just off screen in the movie so they can land transports to board the deathstar I think the director forgot to add that scene to the deathstar battle in the movie to clear the way for a droid R2d2 of course, its not like he was sitting in some fighter at the time to get to some terminal to open that little exhaust port the fighters zip down the trench to shoot how else would it be open.
Makes perfect sense!

What mods where you looking for?

You can grab Litcubes from litcube.xtimelines.net/wiki/index.php/Download

And XRM has a mirror here blubb.najut.org/x3/ I don't know how updated it is though.

That's for AP though, if you wanted mods for the older games or smaller scripts you're shit out of luck.

One thing that always bothered me, don't droids have ID's? I mean how can R2 hack everything in the galaxy in only a few moments don't they have fire walls or something?

painting kicks ass

But it is shit

You do realise ships have a finite amount of volume and when you build a ship for a role "a little bit of everything" generally sucks?

Is that supposed to be a planet?The artists has no sense of scale

But it's still infinitely better than yours

They are suppose to be just entering the system but yes you are right about scale

In Star Wars there are no firewalls, no security cameras in facilities of importance outside the jail, no strategies beyond charge them with lasers and spinning, no tech beyond having a bigger gun..

You mean when plot demands right because on some occasions not just games there are hackers needed to get past systems cameras and so forth

"Some" is the key word here. How many times have the Jedi or any character just simply walked around through corridors in a base and no one saw them?

Lots, but that could be answered by using some of there force techniques like hide presence and such

The Force was a mistake.

The background in the first pic was stolen from another artist.

keep in mind star wars takes place a long time ago

I don't like this meme.

Don't forget user he was also a solider as well user and had to sabotage more than a few stations or bases

This person visited 50,000 systems. Do they expect to map the whole galaxy???

Whatever. It's a stupid gamy alternate Death Star destruction scenario. Battlefront 2 had a similar one, which I'm not particularly against, since it was an enjoyable map. It spits in the face of canon and the parallel mission thing going on there is probably screwy as hell in practice in addition to being part of a shit game. Par for the course.

I was being just a little facetious there with riveting the guns straight on top of the Venator- which has a spinal carrier bay, and you can see where the problem lays- but tangled it up with the unironic advocation of big lasers, sorry about that. I addressed those points in a later more elaborate post, you ideally want a Star Destroyer scale ship that has axed its carrier capacity and some of the conventional armament for the superlaser to add to smaller groups or a half-length Super Star Destroyer that can bully battlegroups alone and flee unfavorable engagements in battlecruiser style or serve as the lynchpin of a full fleet engagement without being nearly as absurdly expensive to construct, field and service.

Though, I still think large, dedicated anti-capital main weapons are a good addition to any design in place of some number of dual purpose heavy turbolasers. The Venator's main turbolasers could stand to be upscaled, for example, to put more potential oomph on the target at once, or otherwise throttle the firing setting down for better performance at similar power levels for mere further materiel cost and a little redesign of the power systems feeding the turret. You can even keep some of the dual purpose anti-fighter capacity in spite of the increased caliber by giving it a beehive shell setting.

I may just have an unreasonable fetish for pocket ships & big spinal guns. Is that so wrong?

>I may just have an unreasonable fetish for pocket ships & big spinal guns. Is that so wrong?

No user there is nothing wrong with that

Some people really do enjoy just flying around and looking at things.

I shouldn't of watched this. Now I'm just sad.

...

I was looking for some cockpit interior mods since I see that X3 doesn't have them like the first two. I didn't want to mod the game too much without at least trying it vanilla. From what I've read TC and AP are practically the same but AP adds a bit more to it all, so I'll stick with that.

Thanks for the links though. I'll give them a look and see if I can play around with them as well.

So how do you do this voice command shit for ED? Google shows only advertising the same product Voice Attack but that shit is pay to get shit.

If he only spent 1 minute in every system that's still over 30 days of his life staring at the loading screen witchspace

Shit taste they want their Cruiser back. Best Star Wars ship coming through besides the Executor

Ah yes I see you too watch ObsidianAnt (I assume that's why you've brought this up, he just did a video on it)

I want to go to Office Depot and put this on a poster.

Had to convert the hangar bay into a power plant to offset the massive power drain for this mining laser.

It can drill tunnels completely through large asteroids.

Think again.

Gameplay wise AP>TC>Reunion is true. However, if you're looking for a plot, you might want to go the other way round, since the number and length of the non-generic missions has constantly decreased.
Also, below the hood TC and AP and to some extent even Reunion are so similar that mods and especially user scripts can be interchanged.

And no mans sky will have multiplayer

skin of your teeth and sneekie breekie on the enemy ship with narrow escape

I swear someone posted something about a Venator Mk.II and so my autism demanded I make something.

Excuse my utterly shit line skills. Ship concepting is something I wish I could do.

Just heard that Moltar is dead

Looking good user

Question. The main depiction of how Star Destroyers disgorge their fighters is from the TIE Fighter video game. For those that haven't seen it, a small bay door is opened opened up in the main hanger bay just a bit wider then the fighter itself. It's lowered out of the opening and then the pilot immediately dives out of the larger hanger bay.

I have to assume that the fighters are on some sort of assembly line hanging conveyor system for this to happen. If you were converting a Star Destroyer to serve specifically as a Carrier couldn't you just stick these launch tubes all along the bottom and sides? Of course you'll need the main hanger for whatever system they use to recover the fighters. But otherwise I'm not seeing problems here. ImpStars can carry a lot more fighters then they do. If you take out every single bit of ground force capability you could surely fit half a dozen more Flight groups inside one.

download VoiceMacro, download and open the first image with 7zip, import the extracted file into VoiceMacro
run Windows speech recognition and train your computer to better understand the way you speak a couple of times to make it faster and more accurate in determening what you say
go through each macro in the profile and make sure that it is using the keybinds you use for the things it's supposed to do, most of the macros are set to the default keys
system map, 0%, 50%, 75%, 100% and the reverse throttle controls and UI panels are not set to the default keys

use this profile instead
I've gone over some of the macros, like power management is now only 4 macros instead of 7
I think I did some shit to the docking request macro aswell
the Chaff macro also got changed a little

That was me and I like it user

You are some what describing a Venator user except for taking out all of the crew.

While the main hanger doors are cool and shit it's a gigantic weak spot. Where as if you just had launch tubes it would be much less of a problem imo.

Gotta get those fighters out of the ship on a moments notice user

that ship already exists

CARLOOOOS, GOD DAMMIT

Worth pirating?

Yup.
Although Multiplayer is pretty fun too.

Main story is the 12th black crusade in the gothic sector, you gotta stop Abaddon from doing his thing while fighting against rebels, orks and eldar.
In skirmish mode and MP you can play as IN, Orks, Eldar, SM, Chaos and now also as Tau, although SM and Tau were added later to the game as paid DLC, though folks who bought the game got the SM (and in my case Tau DLC) for free.

Thanks man will use this

Why do they hire idiots who write words they don't understand the meaning off?

Because it sounded cool

Yeah but mine still had the dorsal hanger doors

In all reality it was likely retconned immediately on TF.N forums by Fleet Junkies and the Lore group accepted the new numbers.

That's 3.6*10^24 W.
In other words, the power used by a Venator is slightly less than the total bolometric luminosity of Gliese 581, and seven times that of Wolf 359.

Can you name a single thing wrong about her Holla Forums?

She looks like a starship some landwhale sat on.

Looks like a topographic map of some ugly hill.

THICC

I really like her as well but the only flaws I can think of is that it looks like a pizza with the cheese falling off the front.

She's not really that fat. She's not too different then some of the older Star Destroyer designs

That's fair

Actually continuing on about TFA. Say what you will about the movie but the Soundtrack is on the head Star Wars. I can listen to the entire thing for hours.

But like I said she looks good one of the only good things to come out of the sequels.

Really? link me up, The closest thing to new starwars music to me was The Relentless

I set up some satellite defense around my asteroid base.

It's Space Opera man.

defense satellites?

...

You can't stop plot fate user, no matter how much us loyal servants of the Emperor may wish it.

Stupid strike through didn't work even though it was working before I posted

Satellites about 3 blocks by 3 blocks with a turret on the top and bottom and a solar panel on the left and right. Front has nothing and the back has a connector for resupply.

Here is my new fighter.

I gave up. Everything I make looks like shit. I have no eye for design using blocks.

It looks better than mine in anything ever

place blocks over and over until you are done. I don't have a plan when making these. If I make a mistake, I cut everything bad off and redo it.

Is in a disney owned franchise.

What I usually end up doing is grabbing someone else's blueprint, stripping it down and then copying the majority of the inner workings. Then I slap armor on it.

or I just use other people's blueprints period. Also this game is not fun after a certain point when you aren't playing with anyone.

Survival is boring when you are alone or your friends can't build shit.

Creative is usually fun. I have just under 500 hours in the game so far and almost all of that is creative.

First for best race

as if

...

the feels

This is great, why did they remove these.

Wouldn't have happened if they had the bridge inside the ship protected by hull.

40000tons per second equals 1 Nimitz aircraft carrier worth of mass every 2 seconds.
The Venator is supposed to be about a kilometer long. In other words, it would run out of fuel in a few seconds (assuming absurdly large fuel tanks)

That number would be a lot even for the Executor.

That would have added an extra layer of suspense to the battle at least. Maybe they just couldn't animate the Death Star II turning properly, I don't know.

You know what they say user no sympathy for the devil, that's why we don't expect any

It might bring the moral justification of the rebels slaughter of millions of crewmen on the imperial ships and the deathstar, if the viewer realises not all of them are mindless robots.
Luckily Lucas fixed that problem in the prequels…

SW: Empire at War is a game that I have dificulties to get into (even its mods).

Its galaxy mode its like a grand strategy game, but without the option to pause and to do stuff. You pause the game, but the game doesnt let you do anything. That already screws this important part of the game

Land mode is mediocre, no shit, but maps are too small, and units die too fast.

Space mode is nice, thought. But the galaxy mode impedes to make good and fast space battles. Also, its bad that you cant select all your units, giving you a limit of units selected.

Bah, forgot the embed

Great taste user and yeah that was something I liked the prequels for and the old cannon it made pretty sympathetic towards the grunts

Recently decided to redo a few things related to my Titan base, the pipes are more armored than standard conveyors, and the tubes are aesthetic while having more conveyor variety.

The shield generator has been made larger and stronger, with 2 small generators instead of just the single one, all surrounded by a layer of solid duranium armor.

You didn't put the portal in backwards this time did you user?

bump

that is why i liked LotGH and Macross, you can see both sides taking hits and getting themselves killed.
Banner of the star in the other hand are just space elfs winning against the humans and you never ever see the human side perspective only text messages

I got Stellaris yesterday.
Got any hints on how i can purge with my kin?

...

Don't get dragged into long ass combats over planets. Just bum rush a planet. Do this for the bigger empires to slowly purge there race.

If its intial 1.00 update, corvettes fuck shit up.

and space torpedos are op.

Is anybody going to get endless space 2 in a couple of days. I was wondering if its coming out for mac? Haven't found any info saying it isn't.

The only real and true shipfu.

ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR BATTLESCAPE

Did kickstart it but since it was a cheap pledge I have to wait. Looks like it's shaping up to be pretty good.

Only after I try it to determine if it's good or not.

...

Everyone arguing about this shit irritates me for a reason I can't really put my finger on. That picture too, it's missing the point in that uniquely unbearable nerd way. It's a naval analogy. You could replace every ship in Star Wars with a predreadnought done up in dazzle camo and the analogy would be 100% intact. None of the shit actually matters, it's just backdrop. Why does it use Trade Federation battleships as a point of reference? That movie sucked and it didn't make much sense, we never even really saw Trade Federation ships fighting. Why not just make up something else? Why am I so mad?

The Lucrehulk is a Trade Federation design, the Trade Federation also helped produce a large portion of the CIS fleet through their subsidiary Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. in cooperation with other corps like Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps.

The Trade Federation also had partial stock in Baktoid Armor Workshop which was a shared subsidiary with the Techno Union, they produced most of the common battle droids and droid fighters.

what the hell ? where is that ffrom

SS was one of the most diverse fighting forces in history, friend.

Judging by his features, he's most likely a member of the Free India Legion founded by Subhas Chandra Bose with German assistance, a 3,000 strong regular Wehrmacht formation that was later transferred to the SS, raised from Indian students in Germany and captured British Indian conscripts shipped in from the Raj whom generally had very little interest in fighting the Axis. They were trained by the Brandenburgers for sabotage & insurgency operations in British-occupied western India, but most never got used for this purpose and instead fought in Europe. Hitler was not particularly fond of them, having little faith in their level of training. Nonetheless, those hundred paradropped into Persia before crossing into India were successful in all their operations, the only problem was that there were too few of them to make a difference on the war, and the revolution in the Raj never occurred until the postwar. With the loss at Stalingrad, the Germans weren't going to make a conventional thrust for India, and presumably it wasn't feasible to continue training & sending the whole 3,000 strong Legion in commando waves.

Bose, whom in '41 had first gone to the Soviets for aid before coming to Hitler- he was left leaning, though perhaps only superficially due to his Hindu-centered socialist beliefs insufficiently gestating into a an anti-left socialism due to the relative absence of radical communists in India (though there were such individuals in India) especially considering his thinking the Soviets still cared overmuch about British rule in India due to the historical Great Game played between Imperial Russia & Britain over the regions' borderlands- left Germany for Burma in '43, in order to form the Azad Hind government and the Indian National Army with Japan's aid when an invasion of India through the Caucasus on through central Asia was no longer in the cards any time soon. Bose left secretly, mind, without announcing his leave, and whatever reason he may have had, this cratered the Legionaries' morale.

The Indian Legion just sort of ended up stuck in Europe. Had a mutiny over their leader proper being up and gone. Did some noncombat duties. A couple girls got raped in France, almost assuredly by one of the Muslim members. Fought the French resistance and other partisans a bit. Just about half the Legion got combat decorations of some level or another. Got captured in an attempted march to Switzerland, and were shipped back to India to be tried for treason until the Indians rioted for their release, along with the officers of the INA. All in all, something of an anticlimactic footnote compared to what they might've accomplished had they been able to route through Persia & Afghanistan and pull off a Lettow-Vorbeck-style marching insurgency in the Raj, supported by the general Indian population at every turn at the same time as the German-Italian forces and the Japanese & Indian National Army are trying their damnedest to pocket the entire Indian subcontinent from the West and East respectively. It could've been absolutely nightmarish to deal with.

None of this is relevant to space games, so I'll leave it at that and say no more.

please tell me there's more. I need more music about space games

Have yet to listen to his second album, I think they're just ambiance rather then remixes though.

I know we talk about El here sometimes so I thought I'd tell you guys. Next expansion is coming out on the 14th, here's hoping they fucking fix the AI weighting for trading/tributing resources, I want to warmonger again.

I tried something, but eh

I like it

Picked up everspace the other day, it's not bad.

It's arcade-y like freelancer, and you get a decent variety of guns and upgrades.

The delusion is strong with this one.

Fucking where?! Did they update since I checked it out. There were only 2 types of enemies and 3 variants of things for each part of your ship.

There are, IIRC, 18 guns now, which seems to be 9 basic models which each have a (mkII) version. Sometimes the mk2 version is a lot different, sometimes it's just a stronger version of the basic one, maybe with a downside like a charge time.

There is: Basic lazer blaster, bigger basic laser blaster, machine gun, big machine gun, charge up sniper gun, charge up sniper gun that slows time during the charge, homing blaster, homing blaster that you have to charge up first, and then it fires like a dozen blasts at once, beam laser, bigger beam laser that needs to charge first, shotgun, bigger shotgun, flak gun, faster firing smaller flak gun, rapid zappy laser in green and red flavors, and a gun that shoots slow laser blobs, and probably a bigger one.

For upgrades, you get a couple kinds of shield, a turbo boost that disables shields, a teleporter that sends you forward instantly, an activatable invincible shield for the front of your ship, an anti-missile system, a tractor beam upgrade to pull in shit from further away, a cloaking device, an upgrade to the ship's energy capacity, one that makes you use less jump fuel, one that makes you take less hull damage, one that disables your shields completely but makes your guns use no energy, one that lets you hack enemy drones, one that lets you disable enemy shields, and maybe a few others.

There aren't many enemies. There seems to be three kinds of fighters from each of the three factions, plus "elite" versions, which may not be different only in stats or AI, I dunno. And then each faction has a couple types of drone. The aliens have corvettes and frigates, which you can fight, and big capital ships jump in to fuck your shit when you dick around too long, but I don't think you can kill those.

The Waffen-SS had a fair number of Arab and Indian volunteers. Remember, one of Germany's enemies was the (((British Empire))) which had made itself a lot of enemies around the world.

I can see the plans for Battlefield 1944 already

What's so hard to understand.

Mandate?

No new update since the last one.

The devs are watching Netflix.

Fucking love this design

What would a space version of galaxy news radio sound?

...

...

WE ARE THE JEWS
TEAR DOWN YOUR WALLS AND DESTROY YOUR LAWS
WE WILL DILUTE YOUR BIOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH NIGGERS AND DUNE COONS
YOUR CULTURE WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US
RESISTANCE IS ANTISEMITIC

Lucky bastards. Anyway yes I thought it was well known that Hitler was comfy with Islam and Mudslimes. Not that Holla Forums would care if they even know at all

I know about Bf1 but the subject was about WWII

...

Nigger, we bring it up all the fucking time.

its october, I need some spooky space vidya recommendations

Dead Space immediately off the top of my head.

Um… Homeworld: Cataclysm?

already played dead space 1,2 and 3
cleansed the galaxy from the beast in cataclysm

Wasn't that latest Amnesia, Alien: Isolation game good?

But how can that be if Hilary says all you people do is worship cartoon frogs as a symbol for your evil white nationalism?

Mass Effect 1 ;^)

Alien: Isolation was good from what I remember. Jump scare games make me shit myself though.

The Acclmator mission from republic commando

Elite's 2.2 is launching sometime this month.
Thargoids Soon™

Echo Night: Beyond for the PS2.

Any way i can squeeze more jump range in this python? or should i skip it and just keep my asp x instead?

coriolis.io/outfit/python/0pptkFflfdustf5---------05054j040432v6--.Iw18eQ==.Aw18eQ==

That's…kind of a retarded design. Only one connection to the center piece.

Can you tell me exactly what you are using it for?

I cry everytime I listen to this song.

Assuming you just need Shields to escape for interdicting assholes I kept everything else the same basically. Here's an extra 4 LY jump range. But what you need is a modded FSD from an Engineer.

coriolis.io/outfit/python/0prtnFflidxssf5---------05054i040432v6--.AwRj4yoo.Aw18eQ==

Endgame atm all you want is Tachyon Lance Battleships and Destroyers.

Amazing, my edited red ship has just enough hangar space for a small builder ship, the rest is hydrogen storage, a production section, and the big fucking arc reactor to power the mining laser that eats up almost 1.5GW of power just to run.

Yes I know the hydrogen tanks say oxygen on them, but they really store hydrogen.

Dead Space games, Alien IsolationAlthough I found it so infuriating I never finished it, The System Shock games, Duskers and when they arrive: Scorn and Routine.
good horror in space is hard to find

Christ, is this my browser lagging like shit or is this footage really that bad?

You know a random mess of tentacles jumping out of a closet while shouting "BOO!" a hundred times in a row isn't scary, right?

Hearing this fucker for the first time was the hardest I've ever NOPE'd in a video game

I agree that it isn't exactly scary, but it's a decent horror-themed game and some decent fan-service for fans of horror films with its blend of The Thing and Event Horizon. It is better to think of it along the same lines as games like Doom, Splatterhouse, and Killing Floor than actually scary games.

Mostly just for CGs, because of the cargo space

I though i might need to do engineers, guess gotta start doing them.

By that standard Alien Isolation is a locker simulator and System Shock only gets the drop on you by respawning enemies.

I want this

It's like being bullied in highschool all over again!

Go ahead, it has nice pictures and notes inside of the lockers so you dont get bored. Only real difference is that you get ripped out of it by the enemy, not stuffed into it

Can also watch that most sexy xeno slut strut around completely naked

oh yes she will also be sure to do most stuff in your field of view like the special search animations where she bends over

...

Locker: Peeping on Xenos

True. Some times the monsters jump out of lockers, some times air vents, holes in the floor or even from behind a door.
Still lacks variation as its essentially the same thing and the games do little else to actually scare you.
I haven't played Alien Isolation so I can't comment on that, but System Shock 2 relies on story telling to make you feel like you are locked up in a closed space full of monsters and the only thing trying to help you is an insane AI who wants to murder you. A scary kind of atmosphere, compounded by you being hunted by that weird hive mind that keeps trying to convince you to join. This creates an oppressive and frightening atmosphere.
Meanwhile Dead Space stopped trying for atmosphere around the gloomy lighting…

Is there a WASP only civilization mod for this?

If you're not a Type IV civilisation get out

If you're not a Type IV civilisation get out

only found the europe version, is that ok or should i get the murika one?

What game user

maybe a shitposting ayylium in a type IV civ

Ring Runner.

Also it sucks how Holla Forums doesn't give you a password for post deletion by default, I thought that my post wasn't coming through but Holla Forums was just broken.

go to the top of the page and open the dropdown menu under the text input field

No default password.

I did a random project for a couple minutes and this was the result.

weird, I have one

are you looking at the reply box at the top of the page, or the quick reply box that moves with you? the quick reply box does not have the password

Patrician taste.

So there is a new LOGH coming out next year?

What am I looking at?

Great

that is not the official art, right? he looks like a junky

a HD remaster or a reboot?

Endless Space 2 is coming out on Early Access in a few hours.

Who else is waiting to pirate it?

Why would you play an unfinished game?

Space map

I'm waiting to pirate it when it's actually fucking done.

This as well

Amplitude put every game of theirs on EA so far. Also free.

Want to see if it has potential or if Sega fucked them up.

This song is too comfy for its own good. The concept of a ghost spaceship is cool as hell too.

There is an entire album that you can download of music just like this.

Really disappointed that the eldar-myr-ents won. Don't think I would ever be able to look at the Unfallen in ES2 after launch without thinking of better designs that lost.

Hey, it could be worse. It could have been the tumblr weatherkin thing

Got any pics of the other designs?

This should be a crime, I want this.

Remember to protect your ships

So Stellaris was not fun. What's Endless Space like?

Make me, I'll fuck a ship if I want too.

please dont rape your ships, it must be consensual.

I'll slam bam shazam my man-can into whatever I want, sir. Consensual or not.

...

...

I am not the one who is raped, I am the one who rapes.

Is there any game or mod where I can control Star Wars Capital ships?

I mean that not Starfighter only shit. I want to be commander of a Star Destroyer

Some Legend of the Galactic Heroes webms

Welp, since this is the only space games thread I see at the moment, what does Holla Forums think of this game?

mediafire.com/folder/cf3n4l99bibkt/Carmen_Miranda's_Ghost

I think I did that right. I couldn't find the website I downloaded the album from, so I decided to make a mediafire account.

Dawson's Christian, Sam Jones, and Bomber are my favorite.
There is also a song called Fire in the Sky that is pretty cool, but it is not in this album.

I think there is a mod for Homeworld 2 like that.

You'll get bored fast.

user I hope you are not trying to bring ASSFAGGOTS here. It doesn't end well.

Control a fleet or flotilla of Star Destroyers? Yes, plenty. Empire at War and the Interregnum mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion are the best examples. Control an individual Star Destroyer or MC80? None that I know of.

Aside from being a MOBA shit, the ships all seem to be agonizingly slow even down to rotating the gun batteries

I see your logh webms and raise with some i have.

the game was ok, i fucked with some people using pic related
I think they did something retarded with the unlock system in some patches later down the road.

Heh, reminds me of when I was cranking on my ship. My buddy and I were cleaning the bulkheads in officer country.
Okay…
"You filthy whore…."
"What? She has about three thousand men inside of her…, she's no virgin."

didnt the emperor got some shitty dna that made him a lesser human?

Three thousand men! My ship had three thousand men inside her!

In a row?

She has a big well-deck.

Hypermatter Annihilation Reactor's, meaning fuck you because this shit is Sci-Fi, not Non-Fiction.

Since we're on the topic of MOBAs, I guess Dreadnaught wasn't very good either?

When did you serve on the Bataan?

2009-2011

Thanks, user!

From what I understand, it's still in beta testing though you can find gameplay videos of it on youtube and stuff. It honestly looks even slower paced than Fractured Space, although the ships are much more customizable.

It's ASSFAGGOTS. It may be interesting at first but you'll get bored quick.

Oh shit user, thanks a lot though I would recommend mixtape.moe for smaller stuff like this.
If you remember the site you got it from please post it, if need be in a later thread.
