Spearhead?

Since it's quite obviously a large ship, the name Spearhead should be rather indicative of it's intended role.

Suicide rammings?

It's a bit large to be a KM.



Considering this for submission once it's balanced. Initial reaction?

the back looks pretty iffy (to me at least) to be frank, the ship as a whole just looks... off... of course (as my next paragraph will show) i have no right to speak, and might be wrong.

alright, so i wanted to just ask general opinion on somthing before i continue working on it. It's in a style that is rather new for me (re: no experience whatsoever) so i just wanted to ask if i should finish it up or if it looks like crap. please note that the aegis are going to be attached to something. Code named: Winged Weaver (why?... why not?) oh, and sorry about the crappy image quality. Also, this is not going to be one of the larger ships... sooo... yeah.

FIRE TEH CANNONS!!

[lightstriker]

that would probably sum it up, yes
oh, and updated the first pic. It's bigger now, i guess (and i sort of failed at going with a new style but w/e)

I think the overall shape is ok, but there are some disorganized areas on the inside...Worst standout features are what I'm assuming are engines in the back, the 25s...If their meant to be engines maybe rim the sides with something else and turn the 25s black. If their something other than engines...multiple 25s just don't go well together... I am diggin the blue and grey, though the darkish green or whatever that is comes across just a tiny bit darker than it needs to be.

3 apologies, and a ship:
1.sorry for posting 3 times in a short time (it felt like it was for a good reason at the time.
2.Sorry for doing a really shoddy paint job (i mean, i've seen worse, but... i've seen better:?)
3.Sorry for doing a really weird balancing job (see below)

anyhoo, this, the DSA "WOLF-RAYET" class-artillary frigate (however, please see below)
comes with:
2x Wave projectors (not going to get into "no waves in space" arguments, so they're stolen alien technology that we don't understand. deal with it)
1x Gatling Pulse
2x Burst-fire Rail Guns
2x Dual Fire long range swarm missiles
2x Heavy Beam Cannons
1x Reaver Beam
1x tri and 1x di-directional deflector shields
1x Rapid Fire point defense (infamous for it's rapid overheating and slow cool down)



please note that this ship has very strange balancing. As it is designed as an artillary frigate, starting from a long distance away (~5k pixels) it can easily destroy a windforce, while from up close, the opposite occurs (for me at least). Sorry for that, it was the best i could do (long trip tommorow ) anyhoo, without further excuses, i present the DSA's WOLF-RAYET
shp
sb3
oh, and one last thing: if you need/want/are willing to make any tweaks to let this get in, please feel free to do so without asking.

thank's for your time.

The pinnacle of Orion Shipyard's' manufacturing yards, the Spearhead is a stalwart and well-rounded ship capable of engaging enemies from many different angles at once.

Currently, only the original Spearhead herself is fully functional; a second, however, is rumoured be in construction.

Wow. This post is gonna take a while.

DARKSHIP; that looks nice. Very nice, even. You do realize that Lizzie has started building a Hammer of Dawn again after she saw your ships?

SCORPIA; it's...spikey. That's for sure. I can't really see the whole ship because of the parenting lines, though.

You do know that KM's with modules or weapons tend not to work?

IRON HAM: looks interesting. Keep working on it.

BLACKRIDGE-EMPLOYEE-PERSON; Looks a bit cluttered, IMO. A bit heavy on the 26's.

LIGHTSTRIKER; those refits look nice. Far better than the original one.

ARCALANE; Wow. Nice work. You managed to break up the straight lines quite nicely, very good indeed.

JWA8402; I'm gonna use most of these, yes. I'm still doubting about Scorpia's submission since it's...well...not very appealing. But the rest will most likely all be added to the MRA service roster. And yes, of course they'll have an enemy. People who visit the IRC channels frequently will know what I have up my sleeve.

[TheBlueEcho]

Arcane, you know that the engines on the back of your storm class is parented like a pretzel, or the Twist? I hope that's not intended, because as soon as you lop off a critical section, not just half, but the whole backside falls off because it kills itself with its own sections.

Anyways, I re-beefed the LSR again, don't know why I wanted to make it weaker. You'll get them soon.

And while I was at it, I created a Edited version of the RAN Storm classes.

http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... ssEdit.zip

It is by no means affiliated with MRA, And I do not claim as my own. This is just my edit, because it was annoying me at how weak they are. Though I might have overdone it...

[ArcaneDude]

Possible parenting phail will be fixed in the next DL. I don't mind it mind it that you remade the RAND, but it would be appreciated if you'd notify me first.

Yeah, I tried to give an alienish feel, I phailed though. About the KM, I tried it first and it worked perfectly fine. :/ If you don't use em, I won't be offended, they ARE failures anyway. I'll give it another shot.

[Ixranin]

There're far enough big ships, I'll toss in a simple one:



Turbulance Class, Battlefield Minelayer

Still needs the weapons to be finalized and a description though.

[ArcaneDude]

Looks good, although I like your usual stuff better.

Announcement; I am leaving for France for four days tomorrow (thursday) and will therefore not be able to give any replies, answer questions etc. Just FYI.

[Gkug]
