my idea of a kamikaze ship

imagine this. you have used weeks to earn the trust of your enemies, convincing them that you abandomed your allies to join them and stole a cruiser in the progress. you says you need to dock for being refueled. you get permission to dock inside assult flagships hangar since it is the only ship that does NOT need more energy since it is the only ship that got a ZMP (they have travelled for long). once you dock you set the engines to "overide security, full thrust" smashing into the assult class ships inner parts. you sprint into a frigate inside your own hangar and flyes away.

at the same time the nuclear reactors aboard the cruiser overheats and blows the assult ship into 2

Nice idea, but this forum is for people to post pictures and information about ships they've made or designed.

A frigate is too large to fit inside a cruiser. You could escape via a fighter.

My heavens, huge waste of materials. You could just stuff a tiny cruiser with TNT. Nuclear reactors are INCREDIBLY hard to make.

Okay, TNT is a primitive explosive device. Pak it full of
C-4! Either way, it wouldn't work. Probably. Too many reasons it could wrong,
the most important of which is the fact that 1 person can't fly a cruise ship
properly. (Technically yes, but you would have to have every important device
on the ship hot-keyed on the control chair.

But what if someone has their own frigate and is a trader? That would make it kind of hard to do this. Maybe for small ships you could have a control panel that does all system functions, but it only works on frigate and below?

Rather than waste weeks to destroy an enemy from the inside, how about I just build up my personal Battle Cruiser (that I have yet to properly plan)?

There is one; it's called a CONTROL CHAIR. If you've been
paying attention, you would know that it's the only device that can link to an
infinite number of other devices (excluding the core block, but that's not
important). The computer can only support 10 devices.
While the control chair can support as many devices as you want, it’s difficult
to control them all, that’s what I meant.

Wow, I'm embarrassed I posted that now. Oh, my naivety! That explains all my questions on that subject.

did you get the idea for this from Halo: Reach?

WHY, NECROPOSTER, WHY?!?!?!?!?!

Fix'd

Anyway, bad necropost. Shame. Should I start it up again or not?
