So the Kraken is the Tiamat's kid brother, a cheaper version that they can treat as expendible?

meh, whatever. speaking of bad writing, did you read Forstchen's Star Trek novel? Now THAT's bad writing. On the guns thing, do guns have the same range and accuracy as missiles? I always thought they were.... kinda short ranged. Must have thought wrong.

So the other fleet-killer is.... a scaled up version? If not, then why not just build Tiamats?

My point on ship's mass is that even though its canon, its completely illogical in a Physics sense unless they use mass-lightening tech. That thing's less dense than STYROFOAM.

while the site is nice, what I really want are models. Not to mention, it isn't that accurate. I recall it stating that the Tiamat had the Fleet Killer plasma weapon.

ah that, sorry, both look so alike...

Still, sometimes is pertinent to have the option of a long range engagement, you don't want to go in guns blazing if you've taken some damage already for example. And don't worry about the mass thing, I'm a Weberite, so I'm kinda touchy about these kind of things. Maybe I'll do a "Great...

You do realise that that thing is three times larger than a Nimitz class carrier, and yet masses half of the Nimitz? That means your "ship" has the density of styrofoam. Or worse. 950x100x50 = 4750000m^3 (I'm making some assumptions) 45,000 metric tons = 45 000 000 kilograms...

what? I never misspelled your name.

so which is right? Rachel gives you a Hellcat IV on your first mission on the Victory. Its a direct contradiction.

Nuts, both my Cruiser models have only 10 turrets each, and there are 5 large, 5 small turrets. Okay, so everything's rapidly becoming very different from the actual thing... but thanks for all the help guys.

That's what I remember reading. Maybe Fortschen(sp) doesn't like the Hellcat.

uhm... okay. which turrets are AMGs? And didn't the Vesuvius have lots of yellow guns as well? EDIT: Maniac, my project isn't that large a scale. Not yet at least. The whole thing is only about a minute long. So I think I'll just go with the Vesuvius being the cavalry, and the Victory-type...

okay, so the "Cruiser" 's main antiship armament (AMGs) are not modelled. Nuts. and I took the class names from the Ships Database on the main site. Mind changing that to eliminate any further confusion?

even if shockwaves go on to infinity, they will fall victim to the inverse-square law. their intensity would fall off really really fast.

one "klick" in the real world is one kilometer. However, in game, it just doesn't scale like that.

All right, thanks for all the help. oh, and uhm... which turrets are which on the Tallahassee again?

3d animation depicting a "space battle" I guess I should phrase that a little better. I'm working on it, should be done in around two months. OT: Right now I'm wondering if a Tallahassee got the jump on a Ranger, would a single broadside do significant damage to a fully shielded...

my bad, apparantly there IS a texture, and its still missing.

what about just the Vesuvius and all its guns?
