Dragon Lady and Diab both just fell out of existance, I tried quite a few times to catch up with Diab, but he never returned my emails...

<t> Nice Wdboyd! It's been a while since I've gotten on, I had a hard-drive melt down almost a year back and lost everything, my entire mod database... almost made a grown man cry... Glad to see a new site go up since Starshatter Central went down with no word from anyone.&nbsp; I'm working on ...

Oh really? He is wrong? What else besides fighters and LCAs can land on carriers?<br/>
Please enlighten me on the subject!

Yes, cap ships can ...

<t> Breaking power will be changed in the next release, The Nexus is the first Battleship designed, and her missile launch bays are internal, hense, as a point of story, I decided to go with Fusion Torpedos instead of Athenas for the Nexus, the Grand Hegemony is now armed with the Nike Missiles used ...

I haven't textured it yet, I'll be working on that part tonight...

<t> doh!...good point...something I missed.... The Torpedos shall be refitted accordingly... <br/>
<br/>
Playing around with them myself, I did notice that the retro's were a bit weak... both good suggestions Diab, I'll get them changed tonite. As far as the armor goes, the Grand Hegemony is ...

It's quite a bit larger than most stock cruisers, but, as with most of SS stock ships, it has it's weaknesses, it's just a matter of getting there...[;)]

and while i'm thinking of it, you might be supprised about that 'no point defense' thing too... [8D]

Actually I'm planning on arming this one close to the current in-game raider, it's not intended to be a line combat vessel, but a quick-in/quick-out 'hit-the-convoy-hard-before-the-escorts-can-turn-to-engage-you' style ship. Speed is going to be this baby's main defense.

One of my tests was a Zolon DD vs the Nexus...needless to say the Nexus got tore up... I've got an idea for the heavy guns on the Zolon BB, but it means adding a weapon, something that could potentially unbalance the game...but I might do it just for fun anyway...

Thanks Diab, I haven't added the Fin, I'll do that tonite and see what it looks like, i'm afraid that it might detract from the 'functional' look she has, we'll see...it won't take too much either way.

Nec

Thanks Phoenix!!
I'm going to post some textured pictures of the Grand Hegemony tonight, I should have a chance to Start working on the Freedom on Wensday or so... I'd like to get the Freedom's textures 'just' right...a bit of rust, some blast marks...ect.
