BHG BS

[mjolnir]

Custom, but still twice the size. The one i made was set for old ships stats, because the new mod data was 'top secret' for someone who was trying to help.

You made a new one for the right version that crashed the server. So I say again make one that doesn't do that and works both for shots and collisions.

During development it got some 5 different hitboxes and it the end only the current one worked for both. As I described somewhere else it takes between 2 and 4 hours to make and test a hitbox and needs 2 people to do so. Sorry that we "gave up" after some 18 hours.

The Battlestar turns ~75% faster then the BHG BS.

Battlestar turns exactly 13% faster, but it has vertical and horizontal turning switched. So Battlestar vertical is 13 % faster than BHG BS horizontal and same for horizontal vs vertical the other way.

40 second for vertcial 360 degree turn, 34 for horizontal 360 degree turn. Really huge difference.

yes and this is what 0.07 rad/s difference does.

Now difference between fastest turn of BHG BS and Osiris is 0.04 rad/s. So 3 seconds according to your calculation. HUGE difference as you say.

===================================================

my experience: can`t utilse heavy weaponry effctively; power drains too fast.

It has exactly same powerplant as Osiris, Battlestar and other "small" BS. I'm affraid you are suffering a bit of the "sabre effect".
" My 7 lvl 9s drain power too fast" or "my 14 turrets drain power too fast".

vertical turn is too slow for a nimble BS. when the ship is standing on end whilst in mid-turn it`s still a big target so I don`t see the point in making the vertical turn slow.

"Big" is in the eye of the beholder I guess. The horizonatl turn is faster than it should have had while vertical is slower. Yes it could get both same in the middle. Which will make sure you can't "exploit" any advantage trough better piloting.

reverse speed is too low: if it needs to bombard it should be able to back up faster in order to avoid a whaling contest, which it will always lose due to low armor and shield. just like the osiris is designed to fly forward and fire backwards. The BHG should be able to fly backwards while shooting forwards if it is a bombarding ship.

Osiris is designed to fly forward and fire backward yes, yet it has normal forward speed (90) and only 8? turrets firing backwards.

While BHG BS has 14 turrets firing forward. It is not a "bombarding ship" it's a "charge head on and overpower them" ship. Just like the BHG BC. And just like that one this won't work against Heavier things (like an OC dread or Legate), but it will work against an Osiris.

this may all sound very negative but I really like the ship. it just needs some work to be balanced against its main adversaries.

It overpowers Osiris simply by charging in. It has hard time fighting OC dread or Legate alone. A bit in the same way as BHG Dessie has problems with OC dessie or Corsair cruiser 1vs1. Or how BHG GS has problems with any GB.
