You do not need a ship to be 10+ km long to be impressive. In fact flying over the ship and realizing that it hardly does anything actually makes it less impressive.

[Legate Damar]

I have seen the big ships in Blue Planet and other mods, I want to give the feeling of being immersed in a truly amazing battle, trust me I have a plan set up. I have the big ship models I need except one. The campaign isn't just big ships, it has many things.

[Woolie Wool]

Blue Planet's most massive battles actually involve 1.5km frigates and 700-900 m corvettes, not the really big ships. In fact the two biggest ships are just immobile set pieces that hang in the background and trade fire during Universal Truth without doing anything aside from being big.

[Legate Damar]

Ships will do things like that in my mod.

But first there will be a mission where you defend a corvette.

[Droid803]

But first there will be a mission where you defend a corvette.

I hope it will be from an attack from at least two enemy destroyers and four wings of bombers simultaneously, where you're tasked with disarming six beam cannons and intercepting swarm torpedoes. All at the same time.

Otherwise it just isn't epic!

[Woolie Wool]

Stop Droid, you're giving me nightmares of Dawn of Sol, and therapists are expensive and will make my insurance go up.

[Legate Damar]

You have to defend the corvette from 8 enemy warships as well as 4 wings of fighters and 2 of bombers.

But the warships are spread apart so they don't all attack at once. And they have no beams and use torpedoes you can intercept. Your corvette outranges them. You have 2 wings of fighters and 2 of bombers to help you. Your fighters and bombers are better than the ones the enemies have too.

So it is quality vs. quantity.

guys planets arent ships
nor are terrain objects

Someone must really want that corvette dead.

[Legate Damar]

Actually you are ambushing them with an attack pattern designed to take them by surprise, so they cannot coordinate their defense in time (if you play the mission right).

[NGTM-1R]

(if you play the mission right).

Now I have nightmares of DoS.

[Legate Damar]

Don't worry, the mission is not too difficult, if you are a decent player

[LordMelvin]

Just keep in mind that any mission designed for a specific style of play should provide clear briefing instructions.

[Legate Damar]

I will release a demo for playtesting when it is ready

[Scourge of Ages]

What the player does is a small part of the battle.

Like in a real battle, is it not up to one soldier to win, every one plays their part and has their assignment.

I tried that. I thought I had it set up really well, but it's harder than it looks to make something like that actually fun and impressive and not overwhelming. But that's how we learn! Look at "Hecate Crash" in my signature if you'd like to see it for yourself.

[Legate Damar]

I am confident I can do it!

I really like t know the largest "Ship" (No planets, stations, space debris, suns, misc. stars, androids, shivans (Carl will do), *anyotherspacetingieshere*) ever modeled (HTL'ed and Non HTL) for FSO.  The Gargrant seems to be that largest, but, is anything else out there?

Apparently there was a 150km ship that was used in a pre-R1 version of Inferno, but it was dropped.

[MatthTheGeek]

You know, you could just take ANY ship, and scale it up with PCS2's transform functions. Bam, instabigship.

[Scooby_Doo]

One day I shall release my 120km+ frankenship upon the world and nothing will be the same
