70 RAILGUNS VOLLEY FIRE TESTING - Space Engineers

[@LastStandGamers]

Is a wall of lead (one big shot) better than continuous fire ?

[@THE_JITZ]

I woud say yes

[@KrakenIsMahB]

I would say continuos fire needs good way to aim, something only rotating gatling contraptions can provide. Wall of lead wins wins for me because it looks cool but needs big enough targer to justify using it

[@tatteredtrash4322]

I would say both is good. But for different reasons. Continuous fire should be good for moving targets but for slow or stationary targetsa wall of lead would disperse the damage across the whole mass of the ship/station

[@trinessdarknemesis8237]

I guess if you want to make a killzone, a wall of lead is a good way to do so if not slightly overkill for smaller targets

[@crysisrevelation6132]

Shipwright: “How many railguns do you want on your ship?” The Space Engineer: “ *YES* ”

[@patrikhjorth3291]

And there it is. Very impressive. I think it could be even stronger if the railguns were replaced by artillery, and the "artillery pods" were replaced by turrets with maybe 4 railguns. Firing the artillery cannons in sequence like this, particularly in these numbers, would hammer through just about anything, and overwhelm anti-missile defenses. They would also be ready for another volley faster than the railguns. When you need immediate penetration, that's when you switch to the smaller group of railguns. In an otherwise even fight, I suspect the Rex Mortis has a slightly better chance of winning, simply because it can aim its railguns in different directions. If the supercarrier gets the first shot, that will probably decide the fight, but if the Rex has time to begin shooting before the carrier has turned fully, it's likely a win for the Rex.

[@nobob8564]

The rails would certainly be able to fire more often, and if they were manned by a player, they could aim at where they think the hydrogen tanks would be. Maybe it would also not get banned on a server too.

[@Gxaps]

Given the mass of the ship, 70 railguns really isn't all that much. In fact, it comes in at just about 1 railgun per million kilos, which isn't many at all. Against more nimble ships (and let's be real, you won't find anything that isn't more nimble than this), railguns will be much more reliable for scoring hits, but either way, the platform is practical, and the class itself is a fad

[@patrikhjorth3291]

@@Gxaps I'm not sure I understand what the railgun per unit of mass ratio has to do with this (not being sarcastic, I don't see how that is important from a technical point of view). As for shooting at more nimble ships, that's what turrets (custom or standard) are for. The main battery of a ship like this is for when you want to bring massive destruction to a target that is big enough to warrant the resource cost, and isn't likely to move out of the way. In other words, bases and other capital ships. That's why I think artillery guns could work better as the main battery, and railguns as turret batteries.

[@Gxaps]

@@patrikhjorth3291 Yeah, it was a bit out there. But just in general, it's really simple to make a ship with lots of upwards thrust, spin with space and q, and be virtually immune to artillery. Railguns are definitely stilla good choice for fixed weaponry, but there's no reason why this many guns couldn't be mounted on a smaller, more nimble platform

[@patrikhjorth3291]

@@Gxaps That's a fair point. That said, I think the main function of this supercarrier is less about being practical, and more about being over the top and striking awe into anyone who sees it in action ;-) I just can't help but think about how to make things "better" or at least different, even when I know that isn't the point.

[@The77Voice]

This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth.That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside!

Rex mortis, hands down, turreted railguns give way more versatility than a fixed forward array.

[@pavelsvacha]

I feel like the railgun volley will rarely disable/destroy a ship (unless you aim it at a great spot) but the amount of holes they make will make it difficult for the crew to operate effectively. In my eyes it fits the ship perfectly, it is a carrier after all. The railgun volley will cripple the target and then with the Gravity runway the smaller fighters can finish it off.

[@garwynrosser8907]

[@CitoAlsop]

More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin.

[@wolf2403]

Rex Mortis would win if there's only one player in the carrier. The main reason is the sloped armour plus the turrets for the railguns. Also not as rough on sim speed. I'd say if you got 6-12 players per ship then hell yeah that's a good fight for both, especially the carrier. After all, without fighters it's incomplete. Final note for the carrier is I'd say it works best as a projection of power. I'd probably remove most of the railguns, reducing it to 2 columns rather than 5 and swapping a good portion of the hydrogen for ion. Then again I just prefer the less explosive option. Last thing of note, the space usage in the Rex Mortis leaves more empty internals that you aren't necessarily supposed to see, while the carrier has almost none with most empty space being hangars. One is a space battleship, tho other a mobile station. On a sufficiently beefy server, I'd say the carrier alongside a sufficient escort would be preferable, while the Rex would be better off with support of something not too much smaller, and only a few.

[@onetruekeeper]

Federation deflector shields are not effective against projectiles of heavy mass hitting it. And these projectiles likely has steering jets to keep it locked on target. The navigational deflector could be more effective but it would have to be put on maximum output to deflect the incoming projectiles away from the ship but it can point in only the foward direction.

[@mikalcobbs9402]

Same time it means a smaller ship armed with a MAC can get a lucky shot and do catastrophic damage to a super carrier

[@hawkman302]

Should space the timing of the rail guns so it continually shoots nonstop. Do the same for the artillery rounds, but keep a segment of the volley fire. Split the artillery into 4 fire groups and they can evenly space the timing between reloads to have a consistent fire just like the rail guns.

[@eastindiaV]

Energy equals mass times velocity, so in physics terms, you'd do more damage with the same mass of projectiles, combined into a single projectile, at the same velocity

[@eastindiaV]

(E=MC[squared]). Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared

[@eastindiaV]

Which applies to calibers also. In theory, a bullet that is wider, would dump more energy into a target, than a narrower bullet of the same weight. In practice, and in an atmosphere, a conical shape is probably best, as opposed to a Sphere, which would have less trajectory. Minié balls come to mind. The back end has a hollow in it, which expands under pressure and engages the rifling.

[@cv368]

I think the Rex has the advantage. Doesnt need to slowly aim with the entire ship and as far as i know, each battery is its own and independently targeting volley. so the attack could even be interrupted to adjust the targeting. But more importantly: i would have loved to see you try attacking one of the big ships from the front to test out if the destruction reaches through to the stern. That would have been either spectacular or crashed the game

[@JohnZBaeZ]

That could probably destroy a slow moving space rock

[@sreed16]

Cool stuff. "Getting so close to an enemy ship never made sense to me. Even WW2 Navy carrier battles were fought beyond the horizon and hundreds of miles apart.. even Battleships fought over the horizon. Some battles were fought where you could actually see the enemy, but everything was moving in 3 dimensions. Up-Down (waves and swells), left-right and forward-backwards. Even then they had to fight against ships on not where they are at the moment, but where they will be in the near future (leading a target). In space you now have to add gravity, light speed and 'time'. Ever read "Forever War"? Their space battles were light minutes or even light hours apart. The first ship to spot their enemy fires lasers, projectiles, missiles and such, where the computers believe the enemy ship will be X mins ago or a few hours. So they are essentially fighting each other in each others past. The people in the ships strap into space suits and are emersed in a liquid vat that dampens their molecules from being blown apart due to the g-forces the ship will be under making themselves harder to hit by randomly changing speeds and directions.. It is a battle between AI, math and physics. Humans would have very little input at all unless they are literal genius at spatial math and physics. That is for example 5 light minutes apart.. (the Sun is like 8-9 minutes away). You see the enemy where it was 5 minutes ago.. you will never see it how it is unless you get as close as your video. You fire a laser at it.. the laser won't hit for 5 more minutes (that's 10 minutes since spotting the enemy). You shoot some railguns at it or missiles, and they won't reach the target for hours or even days... or weeks even. If you decide to move closer to get more accurate shots, it works both ways, and the windows get more narrow. I found these battles interesting as hell. If they spotted you first by 5 minutes, your ship will be under laser fire before you even knew the enemy was there." - / geek - me

It doesn't matter how much guns it has if it isn't placed right. Majority of your guns if not all of it is facing forward meaning you have to face them. They have turrets it can face any direction. Which also means the can broadside you, meaning they can do a lot more damage to more of your ship you will only be able to Damage to a small portion to your ship. And if they place their shots right. They could take out your engine Your FTL, possibly even your gravity, your shealds, your bridge and even your hangers for your fighters. Can't really launch fighters if you're hanger is taken out. And also have to remember in real combat they are not going to wait in one place waiting for you to shoot them. And on tip of that most likely you're not the only one who will have carriers. Fighter will be attacking to and I don't see any point defense weapons.
