Indeed, the only reason my Navidad Beam Corvette even has anything of an Interior is because it needs some place to put the Generators and it'll be easier then just to make the Central Hull an Octangular Tube onto which everything else is bolted to. Most of the actual parts are going to be built...

Problem there is: You either have mediocre armor all around and can still fly semi-nimbly, or a heavily armored crate that basically is a barely flyable bunker. My Cross Fury Artillery Ship probably won't even HAVE front armor, it's a siege engine designed to do as much damage from as far away...

I don't think the large flat surfaces of Cubes will be all that great at avoiding incoming fire...

I was thinking more Death Crosses, but the Navidad would be rather Pyramid shaped... It's not Box ships, it's "Death Cube, Turrets, FINAL DESTINATION" mindset from Space Engineers that people don't want to see. Murder Boxes won't do everything in Combat because Starbase doesn't have Auto...

Luckily Starbase's limitations on Ship Weapons, specifically Fire Control Systems, means you can't just build Turreted Death Cubes that shoot Targets for you. Closest we'll probably get is a Hedron with Armor and Laser Cannons bolted to it. While I agree this is the case with the Dev Faction...

Indeed, do you have to put an Identifying Transponder on your "Military" Vessels for it to count?

While I've got plenty of Military Designs in my head, my first big project is probably going to be a Bulk Asteroid Freighter called the "She Wolf," as it's meant to be the "Big Momma" to the Romulus and Remus Cargo Ships.

Honestly I was thinking less about Nation-States and more about Corporate Co-operations; Things like Public Refueling Stations would want the protection of being apart of a larger entity without consolidating all their resources into one Mega Station, thus requiring Franchising or Subsidiation...

But that's just it, I haven't seen anything suggesting Cargo Beams can't do this, quiet the opposite in fact! I know there's a video showcasing "Rotating Display Stands" using Cargo Beams to hold onto Ships much larger than the Display Stand itself, and Cargo Beam Lock seems to disable a...

Well regardless if a Cargo Beam Lock disables a Ship's Thrusters or not, most Boarding Pods will probably have Cargo Beam "Grabbers" so they don't just bounce off on impact.

Ah, but what Designates a "Military" Ship? Does just strapping a Starship Weapon to your Vasama make it count, or will you need a special Counter-Command/Electronic Combat Module to "Jam" a Station's general Save Zone enough that the Command Center can be taken? Indeed, this is why I'm hoping...

Yeah, more reactive Aiming is actually one of the things Fighter-craft are going to have over larger Ships, since YOLOL is rather sluggish and makes Direct "Analog" Input far more responsive for Turret Turn-tables. Thus, you'd either want a bunch of Gunners DIRECTLY manning individual Turrets...

No, I'm not you, I'm ME!

Problem there is the largest Ship the Dev's have made was dubbed a Frigate, so we aren't even at the Destroyer size for Ships...

HEY! The Cross Fury may be a bunch of Rail Cannons strapped to an over-sized RCS frame, but even as an Artillery ship I doubt it will be an EYESORE! Indeed, with the current limit being something around 100-150m for something the Developers themselves call a FRIGATE, we're going to have trouble...

Hail Bob!

You might reconcile my Username from the Reddit or the Discord; I'm one of those who talks a lot about SPACESHIP COMBAT and Design. Actually love that there is a proper Forum now, as Reddit doesn't give topics a long shelf life and the Discord has grown far too huge to be able to keep up with.
