Old Official Ship Ideas Topic

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

Like I said, if the file is too big just zip it and it will become smaller.

I really like the Avenger (save for its overload on point defense). It makes for that nice Zeus replacement I've been searching for.

IF you want to try the newer version yourself you can find it in the data-base under Avenger Reborn

Once again.. if you don't like something about my ships such as haveing to much of a type of wepon or module tell me and i'll patch it ASAP.... :D
It still has waaaay too many point defense to be seriously considered appropriate for the game.

Give it at best four particle guns, then we'll talk.

Here's what I think...

Hestia II and Moira A: Kinda overpowered don't ya think?

Hoira, Huh and Hestia III: Kitbash alert!

Iapetos alpha and Iapetos beta: Those are ugly man...

Heracles: Rips off the Zelus...

They're supposed to be.

Hestia II and Moira A: They're supposed to be like newer models of those ships. Except the Moira A, it's for my own enjoyment.

Hoira, Huh and Hestia III: They're salvaged ships used by the Pirates. Not the Hestia III, though, that's another future Hestia. Hoira is supposed to sound like "a whore".:D

Iapetos alpha and Iapetos beta: They're not supposed to be pretty, they're just a light hull to slap specials on.

Heracles: It's an upgraded Zelus, originally it had four gatling pulsers but I don't like that weapon now and four scatter beams close together look awesome.

Look, you can't just take half a ship and then bolt it to half of a completely different ship... A hodge-poge of civilian hulls, military surplus weapons and jury-rigged systems are quite different from a blatant kitbash of two completely different ships...

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that. Probably not impossible, but I think it way to fiddley for a pirate to bother with...

The modules are very likely... modular, given how many different ships we see some of them on.

Indeed, that modularity is why I think it's fine. It wouldn't work as well as either of the designs, it's non-symmetrical for one, but it would work. You can't do stuff like that with ships today because they depend on their hulls to stay afloat but with a space ship it would be a bit easier, you just need to direct the exhaust the right way.

In fact, in terms of game play, being non-symmetrical doesn't effect performance at all. Those partially destroyed ships in the last working mission run just fine without balanced hulls. :P
