[quote=@catchamber] Since I'm assuming your faction is claiming all of Ceres, would it be too excessive for Momentum to have three bands of inhabited statites in the orbital paths of the inner system planets? I'm aiming for all three to have units with a light second between them, and two of the bands to have pseudo-statites in prograde and retrograde orbits. [/quote] If I'm understanding you right (inhabited space stations one light second apart in orbit around the sun) it might not be excessive from the point of view of balance, but that's a LOT of stuff that has to have been built. Really, I don't think it makes sense for anything of that scale to have been constructed. Taking part of the asteroid belt would make more sense. [quote=@FrostedCaramel] [@Keyguyperson] for stealth I figured a combination of internal heatsinks, reflective coatings and sweet angles to send things in the wrong direction. Of course the ships would be running dark if they were in this configuration and it wouldn't be manageable for extended periods of time (think less time the larger the ship, more time the smaller) if anything I would only have Corvettes, Frigates and Destroyers be capable of stealth everything larger would not be able to hide themselves. [/quote] This makes sense, it's not DIAMOND HARD but we've got line battles anyways. [quote=@LokiLeo789] Oh [@Keyguyperson], grace me with your presence so that I, Loki Jaquarious Hewitt Packard Leo the Third, may come to join you in this most revolutionary of NRP's? Also, would it be to hard to ask for Africa as a territory? [/quote] Consider yourself graced. [hr] [hider=The Whole Combat Thing] [@Willy Vereb][@FrostedCaramel][@TheSovereignGrave] The smart projectiles here are less "missiles, but fired from railguns" and more akin to real-life smart bullets that simply have multiple charges in them that allow course changes. So they aren't guaranteed hits or anything, and can be countered in similar fashion to missiles (chaff and the like). With the extreme distances involved, I'd also say that laser CIWS would have a chance at shooting down even a railgun projectile given sufficient coverage. As stated by Willy, we could always suspension of disbelief away the fact that a railgun shell could easily pierce any armor. Or vessels could simply rely on dodging and intercepting railgun shells, with the armor being meant to be melted away by lasers. [/hider]
