[Battleship belt is basically impenetrable?]

You got 18 inch guns which penetrate about ~20 Inches at 5km? But 11 Inch belt with 90% Krupp 3 bonus is 20 inches, but you also angle your ship at 45 degrees for a 40% bonus, for a total of 28 inches effective armor, wow.

[Winning the BB vs TB mission is akin to winning the lottery.]

Try making your ship shorter, so that it turns more quickly and has a smaller target profile.

[OMG Yes Yes a ocean going warship customization game!]

Oh yeah, I played that game! Gonna use it as my profile pic now.

Thanks!

That series was ridiculous. I remember unlocking the 64-fighter carrier, and then the Migs and finally the flying saucer fighters, which instantly destroyed everything as soon as it came on screen🤣 

[Would asymmetric warships work?]

Since armor is so important at this time period? What if a battlecruiser was built that had 50% stronger armor on one side to bounce battleship shot, and then have machinery offset to balance it out? This ship would prefer to use the stronger side if it's facing stronger opponents, and use the other side when chasing down small enemies.

Argh, right now it's going at 26kp/s😩

[Do you think we will see the "ridiculous" hull designs?]

Hmmm. yess!

[There should be an option to offset internal machinery to offset weight imbalance]

When people build ships, they could move the internal machinery around a bit to balance things out, so minor bias toward the front/back or sides wouldn't affect ships. I think this should be a part of the game for balancing slight weight asymmetries. Or at least make it so that a slight imbalance wouldn't be a problem.

I come from Starsector, the arcade space warship customization community. There's a lot of spaceship customization game out there, and my eye hurt staring out the empty blackness! Finally a ocean going warship customization game! It's been like 20 years, the last ones I remember with any sort of gameplay were the Warship Gunner(sci-fi arcade) and PTO(realistic) series from Koei.
