I'm new to ship making in this game. Some of my early designs aren't that pretty. I kinda go over bored on weapons :twisted: But my designs are getting better i think.

Criticism is welcome.

M1491 Class Battleship:
This is my second Battleship I made. It is weapon heavy

I'm not good at naming ships so I named after some friends of mine of other games I play.

A comparison of my first battleship to my newer one. The Admiral Helo is also named after another friend.

Nemo Class:
Nemo meaning "no name" in latin is a light cruiser armed with 6 pulse guns, 2 scatter beams, a shock wave and 5 flak guns. The Nemo class was designed for speed to come behind enemy ships and rake the undefended sections of enemy ships. The Nemo class has little defenses besides it 5 flak guns.

Indomitable Class Defense Station:
The Indomitable was designed to be a defense station of high value systems. Its bristling with guns. It is also well defended with 10s of flak guns and deflectors. It usually escorted with 8 Speed Spectre Class Patrol ships (too be uploaded soon). (The text box was meant for some people I know who I was showing this game. On ships I showed there I had a legend pointing to all the different types of guns.

I like the space station design. It's got this exotic look instead of the more conventional designs.

next I think you should work on color schemes and most importantly weapons placement. Having that many weapons is fine, but look at spoot's or scorpias ships to get an idea of how to do turrets and specialized emplacments on the hull. It would really improve the look.

Not bad designs. You have mirroring errors for the thrusters on the M1491 Class Battleship.

Shrink your avatar down a bit. 150x150 is the limit really.

I dunno...

The ships look pretty nice, but could do with fewer weapons.
Try condensing many stock weapons into a more powerful modded weapon.

My latest ship hull that I started on.

I really like the design of the hull for some reason...curvy...

Nice sig by the way.

I think the new ship is a little too dark. Its smoothness reminds me of Lizzie's Velvet Hammer.

Although it's quite dark, it's much better than your other ships. When you arm it, try to use way less weapons than you have been (mod them if needed); it looks like it would look best with about 10-20 components at most.

The Admiral White is complete.

She left the shipyards of Sergyar today with and Escort of 3 Speedy Class patrol ships and 2 Nemo Class cruisers.

Speedy Clas:

Sergyar is defended by a Krondor Class Defense Station. The Krondor present is Krondor 6.

The Atlanta Class:
A recent addition to the fleet. It is armed with 6 blasters. The Atlanta class specializes as a small scale defense ship. The Atlanta Class is based of the Atlanta Class CL from WW2. The Atlanta was armed with 12 5" guns in 6 turrets.

(Real life Atlanta Class design)

Looks good, other than ridiculous flak*13, and the missiles could use being integrated better into the hull, like the rest of the weapons. Nice engines, and are any weapons modded?

The Altanta looks like it'd be fun to play with; how maneuverable is it?

Neroman · Post by **Neroman** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 7:42 am

I kinda hink of ww2 terms where the Battleships had about 10 large calibur AA guns and and 20-40 machine guns covering it. The Admiral White doesn't have Deflectors yet or an impeder.
The guns are somewhat modded but not crazily. All the mega beams are stock except their fire angles.

The Atlanta is pretty maneuverable but is kinda week and is blown up pretty easy.

At the urging of my friend to do a battle fleet Gothic ship, I made the Desolater. All the guns are stock.

Heres the image I based my ship off of.

Nice as it is to see people's renditions of Gothic vessels...

AGHHH TOO MANY PARTICLE GUNS!

The rest of the fleet looks pretty decent; your style as certainly evolved over time.
