I'm moving this over to the conversation tab to avoid too much comment clutter.

Pretty insightful video. I looked up the programm you have used, as i am interessted if a claim i made in on of the descriptions about soft armor like aerogel behing a viable protection against small high speed penetrators.

Also for reproduction purposes the processor used whould be a nice thing to know, as the simulation time of 8 hours means something different on an fx6350 laptop than it does on an ryzen 7 desktop pc. Or are the simulation very simple and you just hit rerun for 8 hours.
If you have a modern setup and it took 8 hours to simulate such an relative simple test assembly it would be a tad bit discuraging to try and simulate this assembly filled with aerogel and adjusted wipple shield and main hull material as i might not get to use my pc until new year.

And about the name, I personally prefer calling it a station even though it technically is not one

No need to call dejmian xyz, I made a video of my own using his tutorials. Added a second video.

As this is not a station maybe the classification as monitor would be fitting, until manouver enginened vehicles can be classified as stations.

I can confirm that. While reproducing the occurence this time, i could observe an clear entry point that last time a large parts of hull was dented but there where no entry point. This had me confused. This time pieces of the armor went from green to orange or black/grey.
And excerpt to me sounds like what i was describing.

Makes shooting missiles down easier to have the flak actually detonate and it also has a 30 second timer so that the shots that missed would delete themselves and not lag the game too much. I'd love to see what you are talking about exactly but spallation is also a thing..

What is the purpose of the engine fuse.
Furthermore it really might be a bug as i cant detect any entry point on the ship i shot at and yet the back end of the opposing craft is shredded.

Might be a good video idea for dejmian xyz.

The reason I didn't really bother with armor, (besides a good few meters of anti laser armor at the front), all that much was because the microflak needles this design uses have ridiculous penetration capabilities and the only armor layout I've encountered that can endure a shot was a ridiculously heavy, multi-whipple shield layout, and only when the armor layout was highly slanted. So I'm assuming if I can fire those needles, so can the enemy, thus it's probably better to just dodge the shots instead of tanking them in the first place. Either way a salvo of a dozen decent nuclear missiles does easy work of this design most of the time anyway.

Though I would love to see a realistically simulated impact of a 1 gram, 5 meter rod of osmium hitting different types of armor at 102 km/s to really see how far off from actual reality we are here.

Well my designs just dodge the shots and return fire at a third of the muzzel velocity.
But if Stillog designs something that can outendur or tank and my designs send me a message if an efficient armor composition comes to your mind :-)
Something that wouldnt be all that hard hard considering the low weight of 137t.

That's a pretty strong design especially dor its mass, though I'm personally not a fan of rapid fire payload needle guns (well, microflak needle guns), because they inevitably kind of cheese the AI and collision (and murder CPU).

Could use some ways to survive being shot at, too.

Hehe. Well even if not yet legendary it is still amazing.

Not too sure about legendary but it definitely is a gun

Is this the legendary gun from the yt video.
