Man, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? Since then, I've finished my National Service and gone into Uni, and am now starting my last year of my environmental studies degree and starting my big research project and thesis. Still very much interested in going into science full-time, although I'll adm...

Same here, I do make the occasional checkin now and then.

Not anymore! Felt like touching up one of my older projects. Meet the Sovremennyy-class destroyer and Skorpion-class missile boat.

Wow, these are great. It's nice to see the community isn't totally dead.
I just realised it's been almost 2 years since I last touched BSF. I have a sudden urge to fire up SM again and see how I do.

The Starsector ship size scaling is a little different from what was used in DGW, so there are bound to be some problems. Honestly at one point I was actually considering remodelling the SAR ships to fit into Starsector properly, basically making a brand new set of ships sized and balanced for SS bu...

Or just resprite the EMP torpedo and set the target tracking to 0 to make it unguided.

There's no way to alter the flight AI for the Demeter drones as far as I know. Though I'm pretty sure the drones actually do jink quite a bit, even if it doesn't actually help avoid PD fire.

Something smaller this time. SAR Mistral-class corvette. Trying out some asymmetry this time, idea being that it's one of the earliest SAR designs.

If you want to get different shades of the same colour, one way is to get the RGB values of the colour you want and multiply/divide all 3 values by the same number, then plug the new RGB values into SM to get a lighter/darker shade.

That is a lot nicer, the sectionwork flows much better. These ships are pretty good, especially for a newbie.
Next thing to try would probably be depthing; making the inner sections that are supposed to be higher up brighter and the outer sections darker to give it more of a 3D feel.

Well, I do have lots of experience with SM. FR03 Anemoi Superfreighter.
This was lurking half-finished on my computer for a while, but I recently got the impetus to finish it up for some reason. I blame being posted to the Navy.

Majhost appears to have died recently so most of my pics are down. Reuploading them will have to wait until I can get back to my computer. More ships probably won't be coming anytime soon though since I got selected for the marching contingent in this year's National Day parade, which means my weeke...

SAR light cruiser concept.
Not being a recruit anymore means more free time to mess around with SM.

I still occasionally mess around with SM, but the army life is not exactly conducive for gaming.

Well, I'm stuck in the Singapore army for the next two years unfortunately, so I'm not going to be able to do much shipbuilding for quite some time. I figured I'd just release some of the various half-finished stuff I've been sitting on for people to see. Most of this was planned for DGW but never g...
