Bigger and tougher than the Platyparian Space Cruiser, the Monotreme Class Battleship features the latest in Platyparian space warfare technology. Time to go push some weaker spacefaring nations around!... As long as they don't destroy the reactor...

    yeah, i've tried gel and concrete, but they have a wierd effect on materials you use them in while blocking DEST, in that they tend to make the material "shatter" due to the pressure/heat. Still, it's a good way to take the edge off DEST bombs

    @PaladinStar thanks! Yeah, you could say that my creations generally don't do so well in ambient heat, haha. I initially was going to have a warning sign next to the ambient heat option... but I accidentally blew it up before publication during a weapons test, and never bothered to re-create it.

    Love the ship and the ambiant heat self destruct very fun

    @VIBR No worries! I appreciate the feedback and critiques on how to make my ship better. I can't think of a way to protect against a weapon that just spams "replace" type cray beams, but as far as the DEST goes, have you tried a layer of GEL embedded inside the armor? It seems to have this unique ability to deflect high velocity dest particles. Go figure. BTW, I'm checking out your ship now. I hadn't seen it earlier during my searches of saved sims.

    @SuperRyn I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing. PROT weaponry on either side makes me nervous due to its potential to bounce back and mess with my shield generators, but it might be worth the risk.

    (also also, im not trying to take anything away from this, i really like it and it's design, just throwing some ideas out for ships)

    (i do also look into destroyable materials still, but atm i'm still reaching for protection against CRAY, DRAY and my new Piston based tech). In terms of upgrading the defences while still being destroyable, you could add a HEAC mesh to distribute heat faster and prevent melting single sections. You could also use LIFE elements to get absolute 0 temperatures and use those as heat sinks. They won't work against the 8000oC + Ambient heat producing bombs, but it's still gunna be decent

    That unspoken agreement is great until some chad comes along with DEST and is like LULLL YOUR SHIP GETS REKT BY DEST. So, i personally disregard the no indestructables and watch those people cry. Still, i really like the design of this ship, and as far as destroyables go it's up there. Some ideas you could look into would be (as SuperRyn said) proton beams, virus spreaders and maybe even attractor/repulser beams for tearing some things appart

    Eholeless CONV materials that do not have some way of absorbing particles can be "rusted" by compressed particles like PROT and GRVT, and that is why i suggested a PROT gun, because it would rust the bunkium
