Khanbob42's Ship Gallery - Updated 11/26/2007

Post by khanbob42 »

Reports are filtering in of a new battlegroup of ships moving into the inner system. This picture, taken moments ago by a communications satellite near Regulus IV, is the only image we have of this new contender in the galactic arena. Are they friends or are they foe? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, General Cornelius is ramping up defenses around key planets in anticpation.......

New Ship:
Ensis class battleship

Original Post:

Hello,

This is my first custom ship so far. I've tried not to make an overly powerful ship as I see on here a lot. This ship usually dies quickly against a nagaya3 but can take down an athena fairly regularly.

The Hera:

The Hera's main weakness is being attacked from behind. Use this exploit to your advantage if you plan to play against this battleship.

Comments and criticism are welcome!

That's really good for your first ship. It looks quite balanced too.

I would have to say it is more armed then an Athena - having the deflectors as well as aegis deflectors - but since it's bigger then an Athena, I guess it's okay.

Really nice design.

From the outer reaches of the galaxy comes an older class of ships once thought obsolete. Heralding from a time before alien shield technology took over ship design these rugged ships are the pinnacle of armored firepower. Relying purely on armor plating and the almost suicidal stubborness of their captains the Ensis class battleship fearlessly hurls itself into battle not afraid of loosing chuncks of it's hull to accomplish it's goals.

This is the beginning of a new fleet of armored ships. The Ensis and the others to come have been balanced tested against the canon ships. The Ensis can easily take down ships like the cronus but shielded foes like the athena give it a really hard time. Having absolutely now point defense whatsoever makes this ship vulnerable to mulitple smaller ships and drones whilst it's armored design also makes it's inner core susceptible to rail gun fire and beamers due to penetration. Every piece and weapon has stock stats except for a few firing arc tweaks.

Coming soon!:
Conicia class Carrier

I always like seeing designs balanced against the canon ships.

I would suggest increasing the Ensis' HP to account/compensate for it's lack of PD and to increase the effectiveness of all that ablative armour, myself. Interesting look/effect there, and very nice use of the small parts. :)

I really like a lot of your ships, they have even inspired me to make some of my own that look somewhat like the ones shown here. :D
