I really like your videos. Also you're one of the few people that do cosmoteer videos until this day so watching your cosmoteer videos is always something special.
Thank you, its so nice to hear that you enjoy my content and comments like this are also a reason I will keep on designing new ships for my community! I wish you a great day, thanks for the support!
i feel like the best counter to this would unironically be a swarm of really fast nuke sticks. it seems that it doesnt take very much to detonate the arms when hitting it from behind.
absolutely, a small but fast ship with one tiny laser is already enough in theory, this ship is only meant to take on very large targets! Have a nice day :D
since you are so good at building ships i have a question. could you build the theoretically strongest possible ship using the 1000x1000 grid? i've tried this a few times, but i'm not that creative or good at the game. the only limitation here is the number of crew, since from (i've never really tested it) 4000 the crew doesn't do anything anymore because the ki can't keep up. I know that every ship is a tradeoff and there is no “perfect” ship, but I would have a similar one in mind like this one, as a slow tank with ion beams and missiles. since this is quite a lot of work, and i don't think you want to do it (which is totally understandable :D), would it be possible for you to build just an empty ship, like a hull? as a concept art? that would be helpful to get some new ideas :)
Hmm that sounds like an interesting challenge, as you already said I am not sure if I want to try this, but I think either extremly long railguns or a massive amount of Ion-beams is the way to go here. Depending on the inner structure, nukes or missiles might also work. At this size I would be cautious to use deck cannons deep inside the ship, since they have limited range. And the ship doesn´t necessarily has to be slow, with the extendable thrusters you can already reach a good speed I guess. But thats all specualtion, I haven´t tried this grid size out yet... Yepp I am intrigued XD lets see what I can do here. Thanks for your idea and have a good day!
I once built a ship kinda like that, back in Cosmoteer Classic. It wasn't that effective because as you mentioned the crew ai gets messy, but it was pretty huge (cost of 104M credits, required over 15,000 crew, weighed over 400,000 tonnes). Its main weapon was a battery of railguns (20 of them, at roughly 900% power each since they were so long), but it also had 256 ion beams, 500+ missile launchers (mostly HE with some EMP mixed in), 200 Heavy Blasters, and around 40 Flak turrets. It was called the Farewell... and my computer absolutely hated loading it.
An sich ein cooles Design musst aber aufpassen nicht dass du von Raketen oder Railguns weg gesniped wirst da du Schiff wieder in der Nähe kommst noch mit deren backwards thrust mithalten kannst. Und früher oder später würden die dich langsam auseinandernehmen.Wen es auch nur ne ewig kein dauer 😂
4.8 Mio for the core module and 6.8 Mio/ claw module, so yeah its quite expensive. But surely a lot of fun to use in a campaign XD I wish you a nice day!
There are probably a few ships that are strong enough for battle brawlers, the only problem is the construction time… depending on the ship it can reach up to 40 mins I wish you a great day :D
yeah true XD, there were so many Ion beams that needed quick energy supply, so I decided to spam capacitors and people, I don‘t care too much about efficiency anyways hehe
@@Markty07 yes I know, 1 large reactor can theoretically power 10.8 beams to be precisly, the problem was, that the beams further away from the power source ran out of energy regularly, and with capacitors the long-term power supply is way more stable, but maybe I just had the wrong setup... I assume, that 1 capacitor/2 beams is already enough, but I didn´t try it out, and in the end I think it doesn´t matter if you have to spend 16.0 or 16.1 Mio credits for the entire ship... so I just kept it simple for myself :D Thanks for your ideas and comments, that´s super helpful for me! Have a nice day ;)
Common Cosmoteer-Engineer: "Sir, how many Ion Beams should we build?"
Me: "Yes"

Love your megaship videos, great job!
Your words are truly heart-warming for me, thank you! 😁
I wish you a great day!
Looks like a crab flipping you off as you die slowly.
Crab Death Star. Well done! I love the paint!
hehe, finally I didn‘t mess up my paint job

I feel like a swarm of any kind of ship is enough, kinda the pattern across all big ships.
This needs to be a boss battle on Blade Tardigrade
I already proposed MEGA-ships under his video… so maybe in future your dream becomes true!
Have a nice day ;)
So, how much does the crab cost?
more than 20 mio credits in total :D

@@Felix-sl2hw sounds like a true nightmare… for both your opponent and your poor PC which had to load this monster XD
Have a nice day/ night!
Wanna see Mr crabs fight Mr crabs
That would be a great laser show indeed XD
Have a nice day!
haha what is that. nice😆😂
I know it looks weird, but I kind of like this XD
Have a nice day!

absolut, das ist leider immer der trade-off zwischen defense, damage und speed… und dieses Schiff hat echt gar keinen speed XD
May I ask, what is the cost of this?
4.8 Mio for the core module and 6.8 Mio/ claw module, so yeah its quite expensive. But surely a lot of fun to use in a campaign XD

Take this ship on Battleship brawlers
There are probably a few ships that are strong enough for battle brawlers, the only problem is the construction time… depending on the ship it can reach up to 40 mins

Go send that thing into battle in battleship brawlers with Blade Tardigrade...
capacitor spam :despair:
yeah true XD, there were so many Ion beams that needed quick energy supply, so I decided to spam capacitors and people, I don‘t care too much about efficiency anyways hehe
@@Gobbo-Gamer 1 large reactor for 10 beams is enough, capacitors just run out.
