IXO Database
Welcome Commander. You gave now been granted to access certain privileged information of our esteemed organisation most specifically the specific capabilities of our ships.

History
IXO or Independent Xlyian Organisation is a powerful presence in the Core of the Milky Way Galaxy holding the key to extreme speed FTL drives (x5 faster than light is the highest reached by any other being in the galaxy and as I’m sure you know we possess up to x7 officially). Using this advantage we are well established as technical geniuses and are jealously looked at by competitors.

The IXO was established in 2136 GY; 10 years before the Terrans left Earth, a small but highly profitable technical engineer’s company formed it when he saw an opportunity to expand into spaceflight by developing engines for the Xylian Navy. He proved to be successful and so the Organisation’s presence spread and eventually becoming the sole survivor of the Corinth War that completely obliterated Xylia turning IXO into a nomadic corporation whose only stopping places were those abundant in resources.

Is that your first ship?

The only thing I dislike about it is the repitition of the section 26s in the back.

Of course you probably want to get somebody else's opinion before doing anything to it as I'm definitely not the most experienced ship builder on the forum.

I actually liked that, but I dislike the white 23's in the back. Very good colorscheme and weapon placement.

Its one of a few I've done but my other's were horrendous. Any suggestions on a better way for making an engine placemnt?

New ships up. Please comment and criticize at your will. I don't mind if you rip the ships to hell just give advice on how to improve please?

Sorry for the triple post but with very little replies I thought I'd post my first station.

Thor Class Station Mk1

I don't really like the station, but it's a cool idea. As for the ships, they're quite good. One question though, are you just using the same ship and adding on to it, or, in the case of the small ship, taking away from it? If so, you should probably make a new hull, simply to make the ships look less similar.

There is an original core and I did that to help fleet unity so the larger ships looked like the smaller ones. I'll experiment with more styles once i cement the general idea.

Pretty basic designs, but they are good for the most part. The front of the ships are good although I think the backs could use some work. I like ship #3 though you seem to have some very interesting parenting. Are you sure there's no floating pieces?

very what i would call mature designs. Theres not a lot of random stuff sticking out, no repetition though I agree about the back of the first one...
conservative weapons usage though perhaps too many deflectors for a ship that size.
I kinda like the station just cuz its different but it mainly looks disjointed. If your trying to do a station with WSKRS or defensive satalites or something, a back story would help as well as making their placement less symmetrical around the station. If their suppose to be part of the station, some sort of tether might be in order.

Emperor Class Dreadnought Mk4
Restyled the engines on the first ship.

Also there is a reason for the station's defensive sattelites just got to get round to writing into the fluff for the fleet.

The basic idea behind this fleet is that it's a highly advanced trading organisation much the same as the Hansa in Kevin J Anderson's Saga of the Seven Suns but the IXO have a few differences and are also not human. They are part of a series of fleets under development by me and my friend but so far only ships have been made for the IXO and Arc Angel Confedracy/Empire.

The engines are much better now

Slominator · Post by **Slominator** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 1:19 am

That looks a whole lot better.

Wolfbrother · Post by **Wolfbrother** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 6:22 am

I considered redesigning some of the cores and I can't find a style I like that is in-keeping with the fleet. I am working on the Mk2 station now and should have it posted by tuesday with some other ships aswell. Also the Mk4 Dreadnought now has 6 deflectors as is standar across the fleet.

New destroyer, the Prince Class Mk2.

Also due on the scenes soon the updated LWA.
