Clang is the deity of SE who hated subgrids and wheels and is determined to get rid of them from the universe.

Who is Clang?
LunaCrusader 22 May, 2017 @ 5:30pm

@fgreszta Projectors are currently buggy, so unfortunately there isn't much I can do.
mik.boiii 11 Sep, 2016 @ 1:42am 
Additionally, even when the projector is aligned (Took some time to align) the welders do nothing, I've made sure that they're turned on and such, and yet they still do nothing.
Please fix this!!
mik.boiii 11 Sep, 2016 @ 1:33am 
The auto-repair, unfortunately, doesn't work.
Are there any ways to fix this?
The main problem is that the welders don't work as the projector shows the ship in front of it, rather than prefectly joined as they should be if it is to work.

Oh

@catalanapools2 There's a door at the rear. :D
ProtoCPU 27 Jul, 2016 @ 11:29am 
THIS SHIP SUCKSSSSS!!!!!! YOU CANT EVEN GET IN IT!!
Loxachi 9 Jun, 2016 @ 10:17am 
@5URG3 Yeah Its my little pride and joy here in SE. No problem, but if you guys do decide you need it or any of my other ships for the lore let me know!
K-I 7 Jun, 2016 @ 12:55am 
cool name, cool design, cool ship features, very strong defender vs fighter...... good job dude:steamhappy:
Mircea The Young 6 Jun, 2016 @ 1:51pm 
That's quite a tame role for something with as impressive a name as "flak destroyer". You'd expect it to play a more active role, especially considering its appearance. It certainly looks as though it would be on the fronline rather than babysitting.
Phoenix 6 Jun, 2016 @ 1:12pm 
Great Ship. Got my Nanite Construction Factory from the mod by the same name to construct this in survival! took a while but it looks great! :steamhappy:
5URG3  [author] 6 Jun, 2016 @ 11:06am 
@Imglidinhere We certainly are. We have been for a few months. The Europa conflict is described here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=636247726

@KenobiSon That's Alid's Death Test, you can submit a ship I think. Thanks for the backup, I wish we had proper flak in game.

@Chairman First Class Drek Premium Snek right here.

@Viking Pancake Really? I'm not sure how, but the Normandy is a cool ship so I'm not complaining :D
5URG3  [author] 6 Jun, 2016 @ 11:06am 
@The Lazy Crawler, spikedroidking You can get this ship by subscribing and then by pressing F10 for the blueprint menu in creative mode and using Ctrl + V to paste.

@Field Marshall ShVak Shh, don't tell anyone :D I tink Point Defence Destroyer might be better, what do you think?

@Mircea The Young Well this ship is meant to guard Carrier and other larger vessels, not chase down fighters, I leave that to Frigates and Corvettes. Quite a lot of Sci-fi has conflicting information regarding spaceships.

@supa-engineer Nope. This is a spaceship, if I'm making a ship for atmospheres or to go to and from planets, I design the ship to do that in the first place.
5URG3  [author] 6 Jun, 2016 @ 10:56am 
Wow, this ship was more popular than I thought it'd be, lots of comments! Ok, here goes:

@WhiteWolfRepublic Help yourself!

@Exemida All hail the New Potato Order!

@[AWG]Archangel That's a big ship! Maybe, I think Earth needs a huge flagship, but I'm not in charge of the lore.

@alid Thanks for the test! I've added it to the page.

@Imglidinhere Thanks!

@Bruin_o9er Thanks, that's a badass small ship you have there. Did you test while moving? They seem to be roughly the same acceleration.
[ITA] IAleG 6 Jun, 2016 @ 10:02am 
This looks like the normandy from Mass Effect

Also:
Flak

Noun

1. antiaircraft fire, especially as experienced by the crews of combat airplanes at which the fire is directed.

Yes, this IS a Flak Destroyer.
Tearin 4 Jun, 2016 @ 6:25pm 
What was the score sheet at then end? I havn't seen anything like that before. Is there a place I can get it and the rules that go along with it? I would like to test my ships.
Imglidinhere 4 Jun, 2016 @ 6:00pm 
Have you and Lord Commisar actually teamed up with your backgrounds now? I see similar descriptions regarding this... Europa Conflict in his stuff too. :D

Be awesome if you guys did that. :D
Shotty_gunny 4 Jun, 2016 @ 7:50am 
make it for earth and space please
Mircea The Young 4 Jun, 2016 @ 4:31am 
Hmm, well I'm going by the classes of Sins of a Solar Empire, where the anti-fighter is a more of a support frigate. Also, being close-ranged means that a destroyer would actually be unsuitable to an anti-fighter role as fighters would easily be able to get out of range and it also means the destroyer might be unable to provide cover for the rest of the fleet. A close range anti-fighter only works is the fighters attack it or ships very close by, so by that logic, a flak destroyer wouldn't be that effective.

alid
how did you get a copy of this magnificent space craft?
~(WoE)~ Field Marshall ShVAK 3 Jun, 2016 @ 6:51pm 
i noticed there's a (stifles laughter) lack of flak
Lord-Naver 3 Jun, 2016 @ 6:19pm 
can u download dis
bruin_o9er 3 Jun, 2016 @ 2:32pm 
I think this has to be my favorite ship you’ve made. In purpose it accomplishes it goal amazingly well with minimal resources expended in comparison to other designs I've seen. It shreds small craft with ease, & is maneuverable enough to intercept fighters approaching the heavy ships of the fleet. ***5/5*** in tests I've performed on it. All my vanilla space superiority fighters the Rattlesnake was able to eliminate with ease. My Xiphos Heavy Fighter Fleet Escort (Small Ship) was the only one able to take out the unmanned Rattlesnake. http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691235379 – Great Build!!!
Imglidinhere 3 Jun, 2016 @ 2:21pm 
THIS IS LOVE. THIS IS LIFE. O_O

I love it. :3
Game horizons 2 Jun, 2016 @ 10:41pm 
thx again . oh i have redesign the test and right now im testing it let me know your thoughts on it

Loxachi 2 Jun, 2016 @ 1:29pm 
@5URG3 If you want someone to build for earth Black Comet aerospace would be happy to apply. For examples of current ships from our drednought to the light carrier and Battleship(WIP) among other vessel types view our portfolio within this profile. Most vessels have not been released to the to the public outside of a few pictures.
Exemida 2 Jun, 2016 @ 1:07pm 
Thats a lot of potatoes I support your use of potatoes because potatoes are delicious.
Nebbercracker 2 Jun, 2016 @ 1:06pm 
YAY FREE STUFF
ColdAsahi 2 Jun, 2016 @ 1:00pm 
I here by conscript this vessel into the WWR navy.
5URG3  [author] 2 Jun, 2016 @ 12:09pm 
@Quartofel The Hyperion Systems Fleet was built on the back of hundreds of potatoes :D Keep at it man, practice makes perfect.

@noarosin, Burnalot87 Thanks!

@Crimson Kaim Yes, it should work without any real problems. Scripts are only for Airlocks, Doors, LCD Displays and braking assistance.

@Nebbercracker GIMP 2.8. It's free!
Nebbercracker 2 Jun, 2016 @ 11:51am 
what program do you use to add pictures, diagrams and certain fonts to the screenshots. And if it costs money could you recommend a free alternative ?
Crimson Kaim 2 Jun, 2016 @ 10:17am 
Does the ship work (the basics) in no-scripts worlds?
Burnalot87 2 Jun, 2016 @ 7:19am 
Excellent made. Good job.
Rae Alexanderson 2 Jun, 2016 @ 6:49am 
5URG3 I must give you some intese kudos, this is absolutely the most epic looking ship I've seen, ever. I would also like to add the story is very interesting, and in terms of use in RP? Holy shit I am in love!!! Now I gotta make my own form of ship that can compete...

- Love from Spartan/Noa.
Quartofel 2 Jun, 2016 @ 4:01am 
People creating beutiful ships like this and I'm just sitting here and building another potato-like ship. ;_;
5URG3  [author] 2 Jun, 2016 @ 2:15am 
@G'waynir Decoys. There are decoys buried at the front of the ship with welders to repair them. Decoys were nerfed quite a bit by the changes to turret targeting, but they are still handy to have.
Teksorbkyva 1 Jun, 2016 @ 3:57pm 
@5URG3
Under Weapon and Support Systems, you say it has a basic ECM (Electronic Counter-Measures). What does it have that you classify this as? Decoys? Some kind of advanced antenna/comms system?
5URG3  [author] 1 Jun, 2016 @ 9:33am 
@Lord Commissar A www, really? And I was looking forward to destroying Keen's fleet :D

@Ava Thanks! I thought the Python was prettier, but then I didn't build the legendary Kaikohuru :D

@Alid Of course, give it hell! I enjoyed watching the test last time, but I did think the acceleration/braking test was a little unfair. Maybe make the test run longer and score people on how quickly they can stop, rather than if they hit the wall. Hitting the wall is obviously more entertaining though. :D

@Rockwell Thanks man!
5URG3  [author] 1 Jun, 2016 @ 9:33am 
@Mircea The Young. The only thing more confusing than ship types is block rotation :D Modern navies do not seem to define ships clearly. For example, Frigates and Destroyers are very similar. Since we are dealing with classifying space ships that don't really exist, I have my own system of ship types that is based on what I've researched, but not exactly the same. For my fleet, support is a role, not a type like a frigate or cruiser, and covers ships designed for logistical support, like the Gladius and Falchion support cruisers.

For Hyperion Systems, Destroyers and Frigates are a similar size, but Destroyers are heavier and slower than frigates and have better armour and more guns. This makes Destroyers more suited to close combat and Frigates better for hit and run. Hope that clarifies things a bit.
Silent Hawk 1 Jun, 2016 @ 8:10am 
awesome ship!
Game horizons 1 Jun, 2016 @ 6:37am 
another Destroyer from Hyperion Systems yes yes
hello its me again can i use this ship on the death test i have redesign all of the test ( death test 2.0 haha) and i want to compare this ship to your last ship .
so do i have permission to use this ship on new death test
Khalesios 1 Jun, 2016 @ 2:08am 
Your best looking ship to date!
Lord Commissar 31 May, 2016 @ 6:18pm 
Xocliw/Conrad will not be earth if/when they join our lore, but a separate faction elsewhere. Unless of course you mean the Blue/Red ships in SE.
Mircea The Young 31 May, 2016 @ 1:46pm 
If it's anti-fighter, wouldn't that make it more of a support-type ship, rather than a destroyer?
5URG3  [author] 31 May, 2016 @ 1:48am 
@r.gibbon ESC/Themis/Horus are creations of Lord Commissar. AFAIK, there are no builders specifically building for Earth yet, but for the purposes of our lore, Earth's fleets are represented by Xocliw/Conrad Larson's Keen Fleet and JD Horx' IMDC. And thanks, glad you like the ship. :D
