First forays into ship design in C#

(1/7) > >>

wildfire142:
A few caveats I've been around since SA played a fair bit of VB6 and even made some really boneheaded errors in designs before but never had a chance to really dig into C# (also been a very long time since I had time to really play) so I've forgottten most about ship design I did know.

So now I have time and with 2.5.1 out though I have a go, so set up a new game and made a few design choices that may or may not bite me in the behind later on.

First I'm going to try a keep all ships in use in a Ship of Thesues manor by refiting hulls unless destroyed by combat.

Second I'm going to grow ship tonnage over time as I need to fit more systems, this means many more refits over time.

Third always use maximum thermal signature reduction on drives, not sure why but I put it on the first drive and have decided to keep doing it. :)


I'm using [Class name] [Alpha] [Roman numeral] to distinguish refits. With Alpha for changes to engines and armour, and numeral for all other system changes

Here are my freighters and colony transports both built of the same base hull to start with.

Tip for new designers include shuttles on colony ships or its really hard to colonise the moon let alone Mars, had to do a quick SM edit to fix that mistake :)

Basic freighter design a cargo hold and shuttles with fuel added to round out the tonnage.

Having built by Tribal class destroyers I realised one big flaw I forgot the jump drive so rathe than SM edit it in I went the route of a destroyer leader class to carry the jump drive, i also decided to try my hand a missile design.

A hence the Town class Destroyer Leader was born.

I didn't say I made a good missile, I also forgot to design an ASM so the squadron commander gets stuck in an under armed Anti-missile picket :(

The first upgrade gave it new engines and armour like all the other vessels
