Ah, yeah. I'll see what I can do with evening out the outer ring of the station.

Thanks for the info natan_j. As it turns out, I gave the blueprints to BillyJoeBob and he had cut down on the weapons on it. I'll see if I can get an updated pic of it from him. I'm current working on expanding the Shellshock, adding a few weapons and expanding on the current frame. I'll get pics up when I'm completed.

OK guys, I got an update on the Shellshock. Didn't expand too much upon it, as it's only supposed to be a prototype fighter. Anyways, new form.

And, a current WIP shot of the Bombard. The repeater in the middle has been modded to act like a chaingun. Once it's gotten started it spews out shots like crazy. A tad inaccurate but great for overwhelming shields or attacking fighters.

I like the Shellshock. Are you going to add anything to the front of the Bombard, if not the will be core pretty vunerable?

I plan on keeping the core vunerable. Also, glad you like the shellshock. I often times will keep my part of ship's vulnerable, so that they're able to have a weakpoint.

EDIT: Hey kiddies, I got another ship for you.

Called the TES-01 it was my first "experimental" ship I made for the TEF. It's just a civilian freighter with an added cargo pod and some armor plating on the front. However, it's outfitted with 8 chaingun repeaters.

It's fairly weak, but once those guns get warmed up, it's devasting against shields and the like. It currently is filling in the anti-fighter corvette role for the TEF and TAF. Enjoy!

The first full scale joint project between the TEF's experimental research department and the TAF Main Force, the Strelok Experimental Super Dreadnought is the newest addition to the fleet. This craft is equipped with captured Masarr technology such as the scatter beams at the bow and most notably the Pulsar cannons mounted on the sides. The bow shield plates have been improved to add a slightly larger frontal profile to block incoming shots.

In a recent simulation, the Strelok went up against two TEF-01 Bombards and emerged victorious, though sustaining moderate damage.

As this vessel is using captured alien weaponry, it is a One-of-a-Kind ship.

Comments please.

Bumpin this thread. I'd like some comments on how to improve the Strelok as it is supposed to be the most advanced ship of the TAF and I'd love to know how I can improve it to build upon the whole experimental thing.

Edit: Man, how'd I like to resize modules, the Aegises are offensively large on this ship.

You can stack the aegis's on top of each other, making it look like there's only two of 'em.
The Strelok looks pretty good, though I'd recommend recoloring the ablatives to a light blue, I think it would match the color scheme better.

Well, the colorscheme is different default colors, I just like blue a lot. the red highlights is the "War Paint" of the TAF. I like the Aegis on top of each other, the problem though, is they can be destroyed easily by railguns and Tachs.

Bump!

FUTW information has been posted and a new ship WIP shall be posted up soon.

EDIT: Here's a current WIP of one of my ships. I'm not completely done arming it, so suggestions would be great if I need to add anything else, I also need to give it a paint job.
