"its not perfect there's no area to shoot a missile in to 1 shot it" - Exist

well, you could remove all the shields in the laser bay and put a big reactor behind the crystals, that'll do! :D

Can I use your ships in some faction mods I'm making?

I will add links to your mods and your name so you get the credit.

Well then, try. I want to see if you can really make it „viable“ :)

"not suitable for career mode" im going to turn it into a factory and storage station to make it viable out of sheer spite

Ohh haha, this version here is just for aesthetics, especially the Mega One. But i made a Competetive Version as well, you can check that one out, its more optimised for battle :)
Btw. I never thought anyone could get that thing into Campaign-mode, props for you mate.

Don't know what difficulty/area this bowling ball was made for, but i got chewed through by another enemy lol.

@zymosan99 IT´S A SPACE STATION

@NeverKlever I would love to be able to do that but i am no genius :)

its not perfect there's no area to shoot a missile in to 1 shot it

THATS NO MOON

could you tweek the code so the more beams added the longer the range?

neat think im going to try with the wires mod and antigrav engines.

it's so pretty!

does it have the tractor beams and a central weak point that can be taken out by a single missile?

Ohh man thx so much, finally someone that gets the message :) I am sure there are others out there but you said your opinion. Thx a lot

Ngl, all you losers going "MY SHIP DESTROYS THIS"
Bruh, you forget that the Death star was destroyed by Y wings.. Realistically it's meant to destroy fucking planets. OP, thanks for making this. It's neat even if it isn't meta. Not your fault the game decides that death star beams should be weak

look up the more competetive version, its a little more perfect :)

man i personally think this is cool af but ig im just wrong cause mr ratface over here thinks its bad because its not perfect lmao

Ships this size are never 'competetively' viable. But a ship design costing 4million and not able to best late game ships in campaign is not a good design in my opinion even as a fun design.
And that was the point of the simple design I slapped together:
-no mods
-costs almost 500.000 less than your cheapest design
-less crew needed
-same size

So you kind of missed the point of my initial post. I think you could do better. I will look at that new deathstar and see how it fares

These designs are awesome.

@Ska Bloodtail here you go, i did it, just search for "Competitive Deathstar" on the workshop and you will find it. It can beat every build-in ship and the old Deathstars too. It´s the same size too

Big oof by you. I think you did not get the message behind the builds. They are meant to look good and be fun and not to be competetively viably in any way. I could build a version that is more viable for real combat but that would take a while. But thanks for you suggestion anyway.

PS: The "simple Deathstar design" you put together is like much bigger, uses mods and probably cost WAY more.

Big oof. You have to go back to the drawing board. All your 'deathstar' versions got very quickly turned into scrap metal in a close range frontal fight and barely even made a dent into my ship. Biggest repair cost i had were 50k. this is not a lot since a lot of the danger 17 or danger 18 enemies can dish out more damage before they go down. The design is not good.
Some suggestions:
-Dont use small cores for every single ion beam. The best set up is 8 lasers per large core.
-use large shields for the barrel. even on your strongest design, the death star prototype, the array of small shields didnt even last 2 seconds before they were all down.
-use smaller but more ion cores. that large hole in the middle of your design is a lot of wasted space.
Ive quickly slapped together a simple deathstar design that completely outmatched yours:

how can i build this ship too?

Ok i updated it again now its almost impossible to shoot down the exaust port

OMG i f*cking love that video, i finally understand it ok. Thanks so much

Basically, the death star in star wars has a few "exhaust ports" to expel exhaust from the insane amounts of energy the death star's laser makes. They are designed to be impossible to fly into or shoot down, but space wizard kule fires shots down it anyway which hits the core and blows it up. Comedy video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agcRwGDKulw

But i really dont know what you mean by "what are the odds of hitting that thin" could like be more presicely?

OMG thx so much, how did i not consider that, i am so dumb. I will defenitly add an exhaust port just for you and...something to hit better? Yeah sure if understand you right haha

I know what your issue biggest design flaw ever how could you??? you need an exhaust port and you'll have limitless power just a solid unshielded one by one to your core it'll solve all your issues and cmoooonnn the odd of hitting that thing please you would have to be some kind of space wizard.

ah alr then i remembered the prisim falsly its been ages since i played cosmoteer

Wait sry you lose 44% power if you merge 3 laser beams, and only 25% when you merge 2

Well Juliking, if i understand you right you want to focus the lasers from the 3 Main Laser-batteries into one single prism? I actually thought about that but you loose an extra 25% power if you focus 3 prisms into 1. The other thing you said is to remove the middle shaft prisms but if you do that the laser is weaker because it starts way further back. Am i right about your ideas? If not maybe explain them a little more precisely :)
But thx for the suggestions

i suggest removeing 2 of the prisims in the middle shaft to do more dmg and just focus all middle prisms on one or remove the shaft prisims entirely nice design tho :D

nice ship
