Nice engines.

A new ship now joins the random assortment of ships in this thread, in this case is it a battleship that is the size of a Transcendence Flagship of the Luytean Order (see sig).
The design itself is based off that off a warship of sorts in the Nexus two tech demo.

Here is the ship is rollout format (so no colors or weapons)

Comments and Criticism... uh... needed, wanted, etc.

nifty, does have that nexus 2 ship feel to it, cept for the front section, but thats beside the point

The over all construction of the ship is very neat and awesome, but I'll further comment on it when it gets painted and armed. The actual section work is brilliant though.

That use of 9s is amazing, especially in the center with the blacked out area. IMO the section 24 in the front would look better with two of them back to back so its symmetrical and not stretched but it still looks awesome. can't wait to play with it.

This is it it is completed but before that a quick progression overview of the ships development, it was based off of a warship from the Nexus 2 tech demo.

Central Portion

More of the ship takes shape

The winged area

Forward hull takes shape

Roll out Grey

And Finally the finished ship, in all its colored and armed glory!

HAWT. I'm stealing that colorscheme for my next design (assuming I don't modify it)

Its got a nice 3d effect to it. The first two pictures could be ships on their own. I love the blacked out effect, and the turret placement. The engine could be marginally improved but still pretty decent.

Darkship, that's an incredibly awesome ship which epically pwns nearly everything that has been posted on these forums so far. The centre part of that ship is just...ownage. Extremely well designed. And I'm not trying to be funny or suck up here. You're one hell of a genius.

QFT, although I still don't really like the stretched section 24 in the front.

That's one sexy ship.

I'm going to have to steal some of the ways you used sections on your ship

Dude, that looks magnificently awesome. Also liked how you showed the part-by-part thing.

Darkship · Post by **Darkship** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 10:50 pm

The part by part thing was done just because I had the pictures. I might turn this into a fleet i might not, decision is still pending.

After looking through all of your work, I've come to a decision. You are within the top three of my favorite ship designers (or at least those who I aspire to be like). Not only can you successfully build ships using multiple styles, but you can make them all look kick ass.
