Excellent piece of kit. Well done!

Excellent suggestion. This is a problem I've fixed for the next update to Galactic Navy (ETA August) by making the wingmates less chatty. I was annoyed by the running commentary as well.

I do think anybody would like to escort a vessel from say the witch-point to the station...

Isn't that the truth. I've played with several "escort" type missions for the update to galactic navy and they were all incredibly boring or frustratingly tedious - read not fun.

Galactic Navy can be rough on fugitives... especially when you accidentally jump in to a SecCom system unawares.

Could you just make the planet super tiny and then place it inside the space highway model thus replacing the planet with a space highway?

Happy 4th of July to all my red coated board friends!!

Edit - I see I'm 30 minutes too late... [shakes fist towards Greenwich]

I voted a big YES. We had a thread on this awhile back where I tried to gauge people's interest in using such an oxp before I put the work in. If someone does decide to do it eventually, I think you should get what you pay for: big credits gets you a well armed, well piloted escort; medium credits g...

Once you install 1.71 Galactic Navy should start working - it requires at least 1.7 - have fun and good luck!

Agreed on the weakness of the Behemoth. They are much more suited to the carrier/flagship role [prepare for shameless plug] like in Galactic Navy where they are flanked by frigates, fighters, and transports [/end shameless plug]. Captaining a Behemoth won't be totally viable until you're able to lau...

I think the price has to be huge since it's really the only balance point for these weapons. I'm assuming they will never over-heat or drain energy - they just fire on targeted ships until said ship is reduced to metal fragments :twisted: For the longest time I've played with my own personal ooniver...

Excellent innovations!!!

Well, you’re wrong.

Fairly certain that's happened to me before and will probably happen again, though its not encouraged to admit such things in my profession.

Which man, Bell or Braben? Blasphemy!! Thou shalt have no gods before Giles! I consider all his OXP ships part of the core game, especially the Behemoth which was a bit of revolution in dockable objects. I have zero complaints with it staying an OXP; just figured if turrets were going in (created b...

I'd vote for the entire behemoth (with Eric's reworked AI) being included in the core game. It was created by the man himself. Does anyone play without it?

Very cool building. I'm not too interested in the multi-planet system idea, but I love the idea of adding dockable cities to the already existing planets. They would make great targets for raiding :twisted: and some should be well defended by plasma cannons and/or missiles. And fighters of course :e...
