what's the best defence for ships?
^ i ask it because i made a very big ship with a good defence but my little brother made a big cube and put rocket launchers and strong walls and he defeat me.

Do you mean offense? Are you wanting to break a 3 layer heavy armor wall in one shot? I have seen gravity weapons with chunks of ore do 4 - 5 heavy armor blocks deep of damage.

for offensive you need a big ass gravity cannon and fire some artifitial mass blocks with a heavy armor block on the end. you could also make it belt fed so its automatic (just in case you miss), also put some thick walls but if you want the most protection you need to put a gap in between each armor wall.

Place a row of blocks then place a row of blocks below this but with a space between each one and in each space place a gravity generator (make sure all the gravity arrows are pointing at your target, then copy this bellow so that it looks sort of like this

b= block g= generator

Google on how to make gravity weapons and then experiment on the warheads.

I managed to fire a warhead that created a 8x8x7 crater, this was heavy armor mind you.

Use blast doors as armor
Casual909 Jul 25, 2014 @ 4:37am 
is that better than heavy blocks ?

No, hwen you shoot them with rockets the blocks see mto blow up sometimes as if they where warheads. (probably just a bug though)

Hope one of these may help. It is a bunch of different weapon platforms I have been building all ready to fire and includes extra ammo.

I designed them to mount to existing ships, although the RFC MK3 and 4 you are better off just making a ship out of the cannon. RFC v2 are pretty big but i have plans to make them smaller but it is probably my most effective weapon system. There is a test ship included with that map.
