I am overwhelmed by the variety of designs that early testers have developed. Some of these ships solve problems in less components than I thought possible, and this is the point of Corepox. We are exploring the design space together!
Here are a few choice designs I found today
The Turreted Tank
This medium sized ship features three turrets. The outer turrets are steered by dedicated radars, while the center turret is steered by averaging the two adjacent radars! It also has two unguided explosive missiles pre-launched. This ship is likely to remain partially operational even when a radar is destroyed thanks to the redundancy. It just keeps fighting.
The Hunter
This compact small ship is brimming with lazers. It has an innovative reversed radar guidance system which increases its turn speed. This means this ship will be able switch to new targets very quickly. It has additional armor protecting its critical binary component.
The Multiship
This is likely the strongest ship of the three. In battle, enemies will tend to concentrate firepower on the top left gun drone. Meanwhile, the fixed turret station is using a radar to aim a single lazer accurately.
The gun drone shows some serious engineering by possessing a guidance system that doesn’t require a binary function! That’s a pretty smart size optimization that illustrates how thoughtful ship design provides advantages in Corepox.
I can’t wait to see other unexpected innovations in the Corepox universe!
