Yeah sorry I just seen your reply, everything was tested in Beta Branch, at least half my craft have severe stability issues with all the changes. Glad you got her working again because that's one beautiful ship you've constructed.

I've pushed an update where I reduced the yaw authority on the rudders. In betatest the rudder force has been increased so there was a heavy yaw induced roll.

I haven't been able to capsize it though, PIDs work normally, even though there is still an unwanted 8 degree roll taking place with the update. I'll be sure to redo the rudder when betatest goes stable.

I also haven't been able to find out why the ship would be doing 13 m/s, it does 30m/s on my build.

If you can tell me under what circumstances it performs the way you tell me, I can have a more thorough look.

Thanks for your reply, I'll be taking a look to see what's the issue. Are you in betatest?

Either the PID needs updated or the hull needs lowered it's capsizing and doing 13m/s while under no pressure in combat. Ship looks beautiful tho.

I was talking about the shape, not the AI. The AI has already rammed my USS Texas numerous times to the point where I sunk the destroyer myself using gunfire.

Oh yes, and 3) I removed the AI's ability to reverse because my God the FtD AI is exceptionally stupid.

Update: v36
1) The main guns on the Ravager have received additional armour protection, and the guns have been reconfigured from no clip to single clip guns.
No Clip guns are used by Eagle Industries when chemical shells are used (chain detonation is prevented this way) and also when dynamic ammo selection is used. Neither is applicable on the Ravager.

The one clip configuration is more vulnerable (hence added protection) but it also solves the inconsistent fire problem that the guns had.

2) Improved the output of the engines by restoring their full functionality (something was blocking the electric generator turbines). They've also received a slightly different exhaust to make it less vulnerable to battledamage.

You're giving the FtD AI too much of a compliment Axol :P

The smaller ship in the first image reminds me of the sentient destroyers in Cars 2

Thanks for the compliment! :)

DAMN! I love how you did the turret caps.
