Of course, if you manage to breach their hull within a cloud of nanobots then the destruction could be accelerated - have missiles/shells that could drop nanobot clouds in ships' paths - think flack, only more persistent. And potentially lethal. A healthy mix of mechanical and organic deconstructors...

TBH, I don't know enough about nano machines as to be able to say how much radiation they could withstand. I've noticed in sci-fi UV light seems to be commonly used against nanos... well, that was X-Files, so it's not exactly scientific, but there's still food for thought there.

Going back to the nano-mines, I think Noctis was over-complicating matters. They wouldn't need thrusters, just a small receiver to accept 'disarm' and 'activate' commands and the ability to disassemble spaceship hull at the molecular level. They don't need to move cos they are mines - you just spam ...

Since you asked so nicely, Portal: http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforever/shipdatabase/uploads/Wicky_MetaFleet.zip http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforever/shipdatabase/uploads/Custom_Sprites.zip You'll also need Kae_mechasw. 25000st, I disagree that the bow of the assault destroyer is cluttered...

Cheers for the positive feedback - even if these aren't going to be built by any corp in the Metagame, I can still build n balance them ^_^

I'll do a few more and put a download up, if peeps are interested.

Thank you, unsunghero, for saying my ships are 'beautiful' - I assure you, though, that they are quite competent in battle. Most of the colour in these ships comes from lights in team colour 1 - I thought it a nice way to include colour over metal bulkheads. I'm fairly certain that bare metal is sui...

Better to go with the dummy weapon idea - make a weapon with the steam's animation as its fire animation set to fire when you want the animation to play. Bit of tweaking and you're sorted.

'Cartoony' is an... interesting response, lol... not the one I was aiming for, however.

As one might have guessed from the 'Threat' n shit, I am considering these for the Metagame - anyone think that could work?

Assault Destroyer http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6463/smscreen019.png Heavily armed with an efficient spread of forward firepower, this destroyer is a force to be reckoned with. However, with the bulk of its armour and weaponry focused forward it is vulnerable to flanking attacks. Threat 170 Cos...

Just a quick aesthetic update, looking to sweep the internal structure out over the bow and break up the silhouette. Think it works?

Is that a Hestia bottom left? If so, it could use some serious nourishment on those bones :/

My first serious foray into SWA-style ships: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/7721/smscreen016.png Thinking about entering the metagame with something like this, a 200 threat escort carrier. Not sure about armament or balancing yet, but I could do with some direction to the ship design. Any ideas?

I really liked the style of the first batch of normal-styled ships - I really think you lost the originality when you shifted to the SWA styled sections. As Anna points out, they are pretty boring :/

Not a bad start at all, these weapons are pretty sweet. could use some missiles and more alien weapons, though - just a suggestion

That's one way he could change it. However, I reckon that a bit more variation in the shades of blue used would work just as well as neutralling it up a notch. A few lighter shades of blue around the place and he could have a nice strong colour scheme.
