In the units file it is starfortress, and on your hud it is starfortress, but I think that it would be spelt Star Fortress... Just my opinion though.

Either way it's a great little thing to hide in your cargo hold, takes up very little space and has a HUGE effect when you jettison it....
I wonder what happens if I mount one as a turret.

Using Starfortresses as mines has to be the most creative cheat I've heard lately. I found the capship missiles that launch fighters (dostoevsky.escort, nicander.escort, goddard.escourt, etc) to be a lot less useful than you might think. Sometimes they fight the enemy, but usually they head for the galactic rim.

What, you mean you made a turret shoot them and stuck the turret on a capship missile? Seems to me like your going a little out of your way, considering you can make your gun literally shoot a fighter instead... Actually, I take that back... You can make your guns shoot literally ANYTHING in the units file.

Actually, the capshipmissile is the strongest weapon in the game... with 54 trillion damage!!!
However, capship missiles can be shot down by pd turrets. I remember trying to fire some at a leonidas, and they were obliterated about a tenth of a second after I launched them.
The unknownheavybeam, in comparison, does around 43 million, making it the second strongest weapon.

No man, I think you are confusing Capital IFF missiles and the real anti-capship AH missiles. The last does around... let me count... 5.4E+11 MJ damage.
Enjoy.

5.4E+11 = 5.4 x 10^11 = about 540,000,000,000 = 540 billion. I'm pretty sure the capship missiles do somewhere in the range of 5.4-54 trillion damage.
Capital iffs only do around 2500 MJs

What about hacking yourself one?
This is in the topic "I hate the Andolian". Enjoy!!
