The Host of Silence

I was bored over the weekend; the first ship (the Kiratar) started out as a Hestia rebuild and ended up, well, nothing like it.

First try with outlining, the ships are still heavily WIP. They're pretty balanced (a Kiratar can take on a Pirate Battlecruiser but looses one front mandible), although balancing isn't finished (The heavy beams on Sakaitar slice a Leviathan apart in under a minute).

And I have been working on the super-Dreadnought project, just not as much as I'd hoped. Moar pics coming shortly.

Anyway;

Fleet shot:

Anti-Matter Streamers:

Heavy Streamers:

Neutron Cannons:

A defense platform with a bite:

"Out of the void they came, to the void they returned. In their wake, naught but silence remained."

Great colour scheme for your fleet, they look almost organic.
Reminds me some what of Portuguise Man-O-War.
The Sakanar looks very nice indeed, however I am not too fond of the Dorotar, looks like it would fly pretty odd.

Those Neutron Cannon look very unique, how did you do that?

Nice outlining.

Yeah, how do you do that?

You duplicate the piece, recolour it, make it bigger, and put it behind the original.

Yep. The "bad guys" in my encounter all have outlined ships.

I don't have any screen shots though.

These ships have a nice clean look. Good job so far Venator.

hahah, wow. Someone with my color scheme popped up only days before I posted my new faction.

They look very nice, and the modded weapons look like what I would make for a similar fleet.

Thanks for the comments!

It's actually a space station

. Doesn't do much flying.

They're just a dark purple Pulse Gun with a big clip, actually.

Great minds must think alike
