Watched some twitch streamers play the game, most of them complaining how resource starved they were while totally ignoring the big ‘loot me’ sign on the navigation screen after shooting down a transport fleets, or completely missing the radar indicating an anomaly that they should check out. I think the problem is with the kind of people playing it earlier.

You might want to use fixed thrusters instead if you’re going that route.

So, here are two of my designs that seem to working out for me, they're essentially better Gladiators. Tallboy: Armed with 4x100mm autocannons and a chain-gun, with options for a couple external missiles and plenty of APS. Basically my workhorse.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1b-aPXTJGGeKYtswxemSeGIt5ZEnWIYlo?usp=sharing Nutcracker: Wielding 2xchain-guns, 2x100mm autocannons, 1x180mm cannon, and internal missile bay of missiles. Basically my cruiser killer, missiles and the cannons put big holes in the armor at a distant, while the chain-guns rip apart the internals components at close-range.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wiu2eJmgHsJ0G8vFmZJzuGO0fZIkHh3P?usp=sharing Back Hack fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Jul 30, 2021 |

Top Gun Reference posted:It seemed like a bad idea for your flagship to be a big, slow, dumb brawler like the Sevastopol, so here's my take on a hybrid fleet carrier/guided missile flagship, the Moskva. It's loosely inspired by the real life Moskva and Kiev-class carriers. So ended up doing something similar your design. Mayflower: She is armed with 9xchain-guns, 10xAA missiles, 4xmissile tube, 5xbombers, 5xfighters, 5xlarge missile (two which get pooped out the back), 8 APSs, and boat load of armor. She can take a hit or two, but don't push your luck.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17b71noS25QXrzWKw2_KtQzcg8rM-xeMq?usp=sharing Also here is my version of the Brick. Badger: Equipped with 2xchain-gun, 6x100mm autocannons, 1xMK-6 185mm cannon, 6xAPS, and four flare launchers. Surprisingly fast for a giant lump of armor.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Mwo8Vb6Ii8kH1c5SA77g_QmJVzbSiVNs?usp=sharing punishedkissinger posted:seems like flares are bugged? like if i put them on my ship they are always out of ammo. hmm. I think you're confusing the APS with flares.

Do jammers stop radar based cruise missiles, nuclear or otherwise, from locking on the fleet?

So I tried testing the viability of the rocket launchers, yet despite costing a lot of resources to equip it, doesn’t seem to be all that useful and about on par with an AK-100. Anyone figure out what they good for?lets hang out posted:thanks to whoever posted the Badger, that thing is a beast Your welcome.

skaianDestiny posted:Does anyone have any designs for cruiser killers that aren't cruisers themselves? I got three flavors for you. Golem: heavy corvette armed with 6x130 cannons, 2xchain-guns, 2xMissiles. Is relatively slow, but extremely armored, so it can go toe to toe with most cruisers.  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ugDA49A7PnprTm9A3gXsawZSZ0HgxbSZ?usp=sharing Nutcracker Mk2: Equipped with4xAK-100s, 2xchain-guns, and 1xMK-2-180 cannon. Up-gunned version of my Nutcracker but loses the missiles  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KlPK-5S3eXw5AUZTvra4yoVRVdSsNwoM?usp=sharing Grendel: Uses 3x57 autocannons for AA and 2xMK-2-180 for everything else. Will tear apart most cruisers as long as you keep your distant. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LAeIycvh_a7EWs-bLCm92v2nxrVQOfTp?usp=sharing

deep dish peat moss posted:Something I'm realizing about these huge murderhouse ships is it's really easy to make an obscene murderboat but it's nearly impossible to make one that has decent fuel efficiency The problem is scale, for every three small thrusters you should be switching to one of the large thrusters, because it provides the same thrust for a faction of the fuel cost. This also applies to fuel tanks except the conversion works out for every 6 small tank should be switched for a large tank, because it weigh almost the same amount but has almost a third more fuel. Play posted:So if I slip these files somewhere into the folder these designs will be available to me? I just haven't dived into the ship editor much year so it'd be nice to play around with other people's designs and maybe get a feel for it. If so where exactly do I need to put these files? Just toss both files for each ship in your ship folder (which is in the Highfleet folder wherever you install the game) and BAM! You're done. They'll be available for you to edit and use in the campaign. Back Hack fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Aug 3, 2021 |

M_Gargantua posted:Yes they provide the same amount of thrust but they weigh 9x more, so its not a fixed decision. True, but it doesn't add that more extra weight overall, they're still going nearly double their range at the cost of maybe 10-20km/h off their max speed.

Can we put this in the OP somewhere? Since there isn't any steamworks available for the game right now, I created a google sheet for listing player created ships, so people don't have to flip through every page in the thread to find what they're looking for. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15aJC186FB5JM08b-mJH7rPZ9XugdU_cJMh84P9Y4g0E/edit#gid=0 The list is open to everyone, so feel free to add to it. In fact I encourage it. Back Hack fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Aug 5, 2021 |

deep dish peat moss posted:Has anyone tried an X-shaped ship? It seems way better than a big box. Interesting idea, but with a consumption rate of 400t, you'd probably be better off fielding something with a bit more armor. Actually a problem in general I'm finding with speed builds is that they're extremely risky, with very little ways to capitalize on that speed in a interesting ways unfortunately; at least in a way that doesn't also handicap your speed in some way. E: Especially considering they're so stupidly vulnerable to cruise missiles and fighter jets. E2: Especially especially since ship drop bombs do so little damage and are so extremely hard to find. I don't think I've ever seen them in a shop. Back Hack fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Aug 7, 2021 |

TescoBag posted:
I don't know if you tested it in combat, but do the plane crash into ELINT tower in front of them? Because when I designed my first carrier I lost all my planes that way. My only real observation is that you're going to need to fiddle with ship file to allow it to be a Flagship, unfortunately it's not something you can toggle in the ship builder. Other than that, it's got some pretty big blind spots for gun coverage and you probably need another fire control system, only having guidance 2 mean your AA missiles are very likely to miss. E: Put in the list when you're done. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15aJC186FB5JM08b-mJH7rPZ9XugdU_cJMh84P9Y4g0E/edit#gid=0

KakerMix posted:So here is a question because I'm a dense dumbass, where do you put these ship files to use them in your game? Just in the "ships" folder in the main directory? I even looked through the (rad) manual and didn't figure out out asking the internet at large. You just grab both file for each ship (pic and info file) and drop them in the ship folder wherever you installed Highfleet. Here is the archived list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15aJC186FB5JM08b-mJH7rPZ9XugdU_cJMh84P9Y4g0E/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=115007234046050656279 VVVV You're a mad man!
