If you give the Solaris gattlers a trail it will look like a beam due to their high fire-rate.

Nope; look at the Gattler Turret stats. Lethargic rate of fire.

Yeah, but look at it in-game.

Someone fails to understand burst fire.

[Mars]

lmao, I didn't notice the burst tag XD

Also, for some reason, in my 3 second FREDed Raynor / Solaris, the Raynor failed to fire its pulse cannons at the Solaris - it definitely had a clear line of sight, and did shoot at bombs, when they were present.

[-Norbert-]

The Solaris puts out so many torpedoes that the pulses were probably all busy feding those of and didn't have any time left to shoot at the ship they came from.

30 shots per second is lethargic?

That was not it - the turrets would revert to default position during periods of time when there were no bombs in the air.

[MatthTheGeek]

Probably too short range. Pulse turrets are made to shoot at cruiser-grade ships and below, they're not supposed to do much good in large ship-to-ship engagements.

Trying a previous-present day style Battleship, using a Solaris as basis with many cannons. Bit of a fun experiment, nothing serious.

You're using the wrong ship, use the GTD Hecate~! It has hugeass battleship-esque turrets! Putting Nara guns on it is definitely worth it.

Why not use the Orion instead, then? It has the battleship-esque turrets without looking stupid like the Hecate does.

[crizza]

Well, imo, the Hecate looks just great, I like the overall design, but the placement of its weaponssystems are...crap as well as how easy her prow based weaponry is destroyed...
Also, give a Titan mass drivers looks just awesome:)

Incorrect. That's not how it works. It has a salvo fire time which is very rapid, and a between-salvos fire time, which is the 'lethargic' one you see.

Sometimes I got to turret-free-all a ship to actually fire at enemy ships, regardless of beam-free being set by defeault. It tends to solve my problem in that situation.

[Destiny]

This is how I imagine the SOC to 'scramble' their fighters immediately after jumping in, just...jettisoning themselves off the docks and engage engines without any delay like launching out of the fighterbay. It's a really, really, really pretty way to transport fighters into a battle or moving them from Delta Serpentis to Sol because being able to see the things you transport is really cool.

Here are two not-so-good shots, I guess...

...apologies that I can't find a thumbnail-thingy for photobucket.

lvlshot. It loves you too.

[General Battuta]

That's actually a really cool screenshot.

[Snail]

Dem old-school SOC hardasses be flying Herc1s.

[Destiny]

I figured it would be kinda bland to stuff it full of the newest fighters...but hey, it's SOC! That one particular pilot might prefer having a six-gun bank while not being a potato, even though with lesser energy recharge and missile storage compared to the Ares on the other side, or the Hercules Mk.II. Another one might like the Loki's high speed and...well. <Insert reason for Draco, Atalanta, Perseus, Pegasus (of course!)>. Rhea and Artemis DH for bombing stuff bigger than a fighter/bomber suited for SOC ops...and maybe that one pilot loves his Erinyes too much.

***MatthTheGeek points to both the Aurora and the Atalanta***

[Destiny]

...while having the feel of a heavy assault fighter...?





...I must've messed up my settings to make the fighters look so terrible there.

[General Battuta]

...while having the feel of a heavy assault fighter...?

The Atalanta can actually do everything the Herc 1 can except match its shields and secondary diversity. Its hull is tougher, it's way more maneuverable, iirc it can carry more missiles (but only gets one bank), it has the same number of gunbanks, it's faster. It just has slightly weaker shields.
