A missile with a drill a warhead (protected by steel plates because armor would be too much) and a sensor . The drill would obliterate the ship’s armor then the sensor detects the missile is INSIDE the ship and detonates the warhead . So essentially , it’s tracking APHE .

if you share inertia tensor, set the torque to 1MNm and the braking torque to 0 you can make the missile not drift around so much and miss moving targets as it will allways be facing the target. you can also place a missile launcher on it and set the turret controller to use the missile as a weapon to make the missile have some prediction to its movement so its not just a pure pursuit algorithm which has difficulty tracking moving targets. edit: i would also use timer blocks to turn on the thruster instead of using the turrets custom controller as it helps with launching them on the move.

@@antonioscendrategattico2302 You can guide a large grid KE missile to its target using a remote control block and when within 800m it will start homing. Large grid KE missiles are hard to stop because of the limited time to destroy them and the firepower needed. Best way is with LAMP fired missiles that auto fire and use your turrets to track. The issue is they auto fire within 800m and the remains of the missile still can do damage. Also they can miss and need to be hydrogen or gravity for maximum acceleration. With a remote controlled missile the range is detection distance. Once you see the target its in range. 15 to 20km. LAMP launched missiles using WHAM are normally 5km but can auto fire within 800m.

How about you use use a rotor to have the gyros be on a small grid instead, to make it more compact, but still have the gravity drive and large warhead and drill? You could also put the camera on that subgrid, to make the profile even thinner. Another thing : there is an option in the turret controller that allows to have a larger angle of attack, it's set by default to five degrees. If you put it to thirty, it will accelerate much sooner, and will be much harder to hit. Edit right after posting : remember me to build that myself.

This is a perfect simulation of real warfare. One side builds a few big ships with armor, guns, fighters, and so on. The other side doesn't have the time or production capacity to make their own big ships, so they build these instead. A few dozen missiles and a scattering of drones would cripple any incoming ships and make attacking so expensive that there's no point. If you add even one block of heavy armor to these, even if they get shot down there's still a 2-ton block of metal speeding toward you at 100 m/s and if all of the powered stuff gets knocked off, defensive turrets won't target it. Thank you for demonstrating how this is done!

You guys you guys I just had a breakthrough: You don't need the gyros. If you share inertial tensor on the rotors (set them up the same way) they act as reaction wheels on their own. And without the gyros you get a lot less area where you can't place blocks, allows for a slimmer missile (since if the gyro is on any sort of angle you can't place blocks next to them, and you can't place blocks on top).

A homing missile that ejects warheads over an area on proximity should do far more damage than having warheads focused on a single point. A quickly rotating hinged rotor might work to spread the warheads in a cone. Another idea would be a bunker buster type as in a missile that has the payload buffered at its end. The front rams into the target creating an opening for warheads to explode inside to deal damage to internal systems rather than armor. A Piston might work as a buffer to absorb the initial impact and prevent the warhead from exploding prematurely.

I've been experimenting on actual combat drones using non-scripted in-game tools for a long time I think I first saw this method from kaffinator. I think there is a way to improve this as a skirmish or harassment drone that does not impact the target like a missile would. Add a second custom turret control block on the grid oriented to where the belly of your drone is it's "forward". You lock both the CTC's on your target and basically have them fight over control of the rotors, and set the thruster to override. This is only the thrust and attitude control of the drone, the actual shooting would be done by stand alone turrets and/of when ever the "nose" is pointed at the target. This would make the drone fly toward the target, but veer off when ever it "squared off" with the target. Another way of doing it vs the 2 CTCs would be simply having the "action" of the 1ctc include turning on an overridden gyro that angles the nose away front he target, so it is alwayse flying "toward" the target (maybe even make the "trigger angle" much wider than needed for shooting. You want your drone to miss the target in flybys. A more advanced version I worked on using remote control block before CTC existed is having a sequence of gyro actions set by timer blocks so once the drone needs to avoid the target, it executed a pre-planned evasive manuver of roll and pitch to make the drone "bank" away front he target. That was meant for a winged drone that would mimic atmospheric flight maneuvers and dogfight evasive action.

That way it circles around a target rather than staying in 1 place. it wont drill into armor quite as well but it will by much harder to hit as it peppers the ship you'll want thrusters at the back that are seperate from the camera control so they activate to keep the ship from drifting "backward". This will keep it close to the target without colliding, the forward thrust should be weaker than these anti-drift thrusters

If the drills truly don't take damage regardless of velocity it seems like it would be much more harmful to simply let the drone keep drilling or grinding rather than detonating a comparatively harmless explosive. Maybe add turrets to it that can shoot down anything trying to mess with it once it's inside if you want to be fancy, but even without I imagine it will do much more damage per missile than if it simply detonated. Dealing with grinding ships *inside* your ship is hard.

Put a forward and upward thrust action so they orbit as turrets instead of just being stationary or ramming

Also put another override gyro in the thrust group so it also springs to make the orbit a spiral 🌀 that way making it harder to AI turrets to him them. In fact this could be an extremely annoying decoy drone

For the gun drone maybe use a sensor to trigger a reverse thruster

Honestly small amount of ammo and then the explosive payload these kamikaze drone could take out som internals

When i first saw that ship with the drill on the front i thought it was for the ship to enter into the other enemy ship and then explode inside to deal critical damage, but no, sadly it was only a way of some sort of impact damper

Be nice if you could make more powerful warheads for more resources instead of just having more of them.

you could use a timer and activate the drill and have it detonate inside the armor

You could try building a tandem charge. The first warhead blows the armor off and the second charge explodes insinde the vessel. 💥💥

Either using a drill or a few tires, go with the first gun drone you made, that tried to run into the ship. They get in close, and start unloading; out of the field of fire from the target ship's other guns. I wouldn't use missile launchers for this setup...

Tires don't take damage from impacts but they also don't do damage as well so they might be better for drones.

You can also do them with gravity drives and they're hilariously fast (oops commented too early haha)

Now you just have to figure out a way to get them through shields, because most servers that are modded with pvp nowadays(even some of the PVE ones have npc's with them) have some iteration of shielding.

Could you make the ships orbit around the target ship by having the thrusters being activated not only being the backmost thruster but also a perpendicular thruster
