the tank will work with any missile, so long as you're using the same code. as these are the largest missiles i have put into a build, the welder bay is certainly compatible with any other of my designs (and that of most others) that use ion or atmospheric.

simply put, if you don't like the missiles, you can easily just switch out the projections and it will work the same.

as for making one with connectors, no. there's really no advantage to doing that except fuel transfer, and if we are worried about that i'd sooner just switch to non-hydrogen missiles.

note though that i never discourage people from modifying my builds. if you don't like something, no one's stopping you from modifying.

Love and really want to put it into creative. Two things though, can you make a variant that allows you to make either ion thruster or atmospheric missiles? I only ask because the hydro ones attatched have to be refilled by hand. Second, can you make a variant that attatches the missiles to a connector? For this variant the missiles would be manually loaded rather than welded.

oh wow this thing is beautiful! Great work.

Also great music choise.

of course, i understand, i am going to do all the reffiting myself anyways, just that i find your platform realy good to do fire and forget style missiles when the target is in turret range

@overwerk i prefer whip's script, as it allows you to designate which part of a target you want to hit. alysius goes for the center, which is not always the best tactical choice. best to allow the user to determine that.

if people are preferring active guidance, i can revert to whip's standard code rather than this variant. i simply used this version because it was developed originally as more of a siege weapon. you are also able to engage more than one target at once using the FaF variant currently installed

This looks awesome! :)

Kinda reminds me of Ashes of the Singlarity battleships.

and if not it will still act like a normal fire and forget missile.

do you think you can use asyleus lidar script instead f whip script for the missiles? with just 1 or 2 cammeras on the missile front you can use the turret for first aquisition and then once the lidar detect the target it will autonomously folow the target, making it extremely effective at surpising vetes when they fly over you and don't notice the missiles.

Mars is easiest because of flat terrain and decent gravity. if you have different terrain or lower gravity, you'll have to be more careful.

@lordCommissar is this ship supose to be flown on mars?

oh, there was a book series that i read a long time ago, cant rememebr its name, it was based in a manticore system and was about space battles
lol

@Gunny, pseudo laser guidance. the missile code uses vectors from the turret's direction of view and aligns missiles to it. i have linked whip's code in the credits at the bottom. this is a modification of that code to use the vector at launch, so it's fire and forget instead of active guidance.

@Charger, not sure what book series you are referencing here.

love that book series
looks awesome

so there laser guided?

it was intentional. Gaalsien tanks were the inspiration behind this build.

The music and the setting is giving me quite the Homeworld-vibe. Intentional? Either original or DoK. Nice work.

right on!

very nice, loving the design, well done

it's "jalandhar" by Kevin Macleod https://incompetech.com/

great craft man! nice video to :) whats the song you played? fit the vibe of video and surroundings very well lol

This is fantastic.

Looks great!
