It's weak becouse of some semblance of logic was used to design it.

If you have two warships of equal size and volume and you spend 1/5 of the volume for a fighterbay on the first one, that means it has 1/5 volume LESS for armor/reactor/weapons. Therefore, if you make it just as strong as the second warship in those aspects, yet give him additional fightercapicity, unless you have some wonderous tech explanation or use pure handwavium is IS and will be crappy.

Are you sure? The...Adrastos() appears to be a very heavily armed and armored warship, it is going to be superior to the Deimos under most, if not all, aspects.

Turrets, please

[Admiral Edivad]

Are you sure? The...Adrastos() ............

What is this? Where is this? Why aren't we already using it?

Turrets, please [/i][/color]

A cup of tea and some biscuits, please

Thanks for the feedback all, Ive been busy, ill have the uv done this weekend,
I will fix the front of the ship as it appears to be the weakpoint.

Also , I dont know about a fighter bay yet, I don't want to go overkill with the poly count and balancing. Im pretty sure ill up to 4000 to 4200 with my modificatons such as cannons.
I invision this ship as a heavy cruser/antifighter , more capable than a deimos, but not as strong as 2 combined.


Diemos- Class specs RED
My ship specs GREEN



Length  717 m 800 m

Hitpoints  80 000 92 000

Max Velocity  30.0 ms-1   35

Turret Type  Amount 
Terran Turret 6    suggestions
Terran Huge Turret  4  suggestions
Standard Flak  6  8
Piranha  2   2
Anti-Fighter Beam  4 6
Terran Slashing Beam  4  4

Plus
Big Green Beam 2


Ill have a new screen shot(s) soon.
Obviously im still open to suggestions especially about what turrets and how many to place.

[Hades]

it would be stronger than 2 with those Big Greens, and 4 Slashes.

[AllStarZ]

I dunno about 6 AAAf beams. That's Hecate scale.

[nowd]

The Hecate has 4 Terran Slashing Beams and 1 Big Green.
An Orion has 3 Terran Slashing Beams and 3 Big Greens.
So your corvette would have almost as much as firepower as an Orion class destroyer plus an anti fighter armament that matches even the Hecate.
I think you should give it only one BGreen and 4 AAAf beams. That would be still more than enough to be a threat for capital ships but right now it is  too powerful for a corvette IMO.

[stormfronter]

Thanks, keep the suggestions comming. I dont want this to be an overbalanced ship of course so I apprecieate your suggestions.

How does this sound.

4 AAAF:  2 sides - 1 bottom - 1 top

3 slashing beams: - 2 on the sides - 1 rear

1 Bgreen in front.


2nd matter is the Turrets

I want a formidable antifighter defence so 5-6 flak guns. I want all angles covered.
The lazer turrets are another issue, should I match the original diemos or should I put even more.
What would be a good balance with the turrets and huge turrets.

[BloodEagle]

Hmmmm, how about Lakhesis for the name?

P.P.S.

Since this is a Deimos Mk. 2, it should be fairly advanced. Keep the two BGreens.

[BS403]

keep two bgreens and the four terslashs.  Just spread them out so the all can't hit a target at the same time.

[Steel Prophet]

How does that sound: One BGreen in front, one back, one slasher on both sides, one on top and one at the bottom?

[TrashMan]

Or do what I did - make a Medium Green Beam

[AllStarZ]

Here's what I think is a relatively balanced and realistic armament for an anti-ship corvette:

One BGreen mounted on the front-centre
One TerSlash mounted on the front below the BGreen
One AAAf beam mounted on each side of the corvette
One AAAf beam on that raised bar in the rear
Two Standard Flak mounted on each side of the corvette
One Standard Flak on the bottom
Two Terran Turrets mounted on each side of the corvette
One MX-52 on the bottom


So in all

1 BGreen
1 TerSlash
3 AAAf beams
5 Standard Flak
4 Terran Turrets
1 MX-52


This would make a ship highly adept in the offensive role against other corvettes and cruisers, with a chance of taking on a destroyer, but while able to adequately fend off some fighter and bomber attack, is lousy on the defensive.

Personally I still think that it looks more like a cargo ship than a warship. But if you make the curve at the front more of an angle...

[Snail]

Do you have any idea how powerful a BGreen is?!! It's almost 8 times more powerful than the TerSlash! I don't think it should be put on a corvette. I would recommend MjolnirBeam#home. It's a lot weaker than the BGreen but twice as powerful as the TerSlash.

[Admiral_Stones]

So? Look at the Lilith - It's a CRUISER and has a LRed, and the LRed is just a tad weaker then a BGreen.

[Mobius]

Please note that the Lilith is incredibly rare.

Why not a beam slightly inferior to the BGreen that can hit only targets located in front of the ship? Some kind of Mjolnir beam...

[Snail]

Actually, the LRed is more powerful than a BGreen. As Mobius said, the Lilith appears ONCE in the game. ONCE.

Why not a beam slightly inferior to the BGreen that can hit only targets located in front of the ship? Some kind of Mjolnir beam...

The MjolnirBeam#home does twice the damage of the TerSlash. Putting two of them in the front of the ship. It would be able to shred anything to pieces, but it wouldn't be outrageously overpowered.

[Mobius]

The model will have a shp.tbm...why not a wep.tbm, too? A medium-powerful beam pointing to the front and acting like normal Mjolnir beams.

[Snail]

Mjolnir beams can't aim at all... They need to be perfectly aligned which is a pain in the ass.

[Mobius]

That's the point! The beam will be effective only in certain circumstances(attack against a destroyer or installation). It's ok for balance.
