Xenon M0

[jordan kirwan]

anybody got screen shots with working links
i plan on building one with the ship creator
just a question or two about it
1: what is it called?
2:are lasertower weapons any good?

[Geggo]

1) I quess it's called "I"
2) Debends on the purpose it's used.

Not sure if these stats are correct...

Range 6.634 km
Damage / round Hull 2700
Damage / round Shield 1890
Speed 2661 m/s
Rate 0.42 rounds/s
Turret speed 0.187

So shield damage is about Alpha HEPT level and hull damage is APPC/BFAA level. BKYON is better execpt the range ofcourse.

Laser tower weapons are good for range but laser towers are useless.

M0 small image maybe not much good but has info on Laser tower weapons.

thats tiny
im going to have to modify shield, hull, cargo bay
ive got more to do on it than i originally thought
ive seen the wrekage in xenon 101 so i could use that for size
but still i need a bigger screen shot for texture

[bob hope]

Xenon M0, if based on the original one would be longer than the shipyards (in a way it was a mobile shipyard or something like that)

[Shadowbourne]

Speed 2661 m/s

2661?
i suppose that's a typo? Seems awfully quick otherwise

[bob hope]

Nope in XBTF the xenon capships did ludicrous speeds, i had my X-Shuttle going faster than any m5 and i still couldnt keep up ....

[Shadowbourne]

'spose it makes sense that bigger ship => bigger engines and since there's no drag in space the bigger the ship the faster you go but still, might unbalance the game a bit.

[bob hope]

maybe but the clear the xenon sector type missions toward the end of xbtf were hilarious for trying to catch the things

im going to have to shrink it
update:
ive got the basic structure done, turrets done, hanger bay for 300 fighters done, texture NOT DONE, rotating parts in the middle done

[Poobah]

So far as I recall the one in XBTF was very large, stationary and unarmed. A Planet Killer just like the Khaak M0.

Hehe. That has never stopped people from creating super battleships and mislabeling them as M0. =)

The real problem is usually that the things end up way too big.
You can not effectively cover that many square km of hull with the very limited amount of turret sections and turret lasers that X3 supports.
If you have to spread one turret section over 4km, what good is an anti-fighter laser with maybe 1.5 km range...?

Using the LT weapon as anti-fighter has merits although they are terribly weak in small numbers.
And then you don't only have to create the ship but also mod/script a way to actually acquire these lasers in game.

[Blacky_BPG]

Do you mean THIS planet killer and heavy battle ship????

[jordan kirwan]

something like that but im doing it MYSELF
to easy just to download it im making it from scracth

Speed 2661 m/s

Thats the speed of the Lasertowerweapons "bullet".

Coolio, I can't wait this one!

[jordan kirwan]

Coolio, I can't wait this one!

itll be long wait unless i get a close up of it soon

[Earthpilot]

My my, looks like the good old XM0 gets some attention again.

Good!

That any closer?

My Xenon M0

If you want to get even closer, i suggest you import the ship into your 3d- application.
(In fact , I did it that way so i could redo the thing section by section).

Size will definitely become a problem.
I'd suggest you import a gate as well so you can make sure it fits through the gate. ( At least that size stuff had been a real nightmare to me).

Well, good luck then.
