MUCH better than your diamondships. I really didn't like the shape of those, however, this station is rather sexy.

Ok, so, I grew tired of Diamond Ships, so I've been working on re-designing a few of them. Armor has been given a complete overhaul, as well as about 75% of the weapons. The new versions still retain some of the Mk-I's characteristics, and their roles are the same, but that's about it. The Astrum Imperium is my first complete Mk-II capital ship, I should get it up for DL tomorrow. But, for right now, the Leanúnaí Corvette is here for a sneak peek. Suffice to say, they're a trifle more powerful than the current MRA/IVL ships, but if it were a "fair" fight, they'd just be used in fewer numbers. Don't let the appearance deceive, for their size they take up quite an amount of memory, unfortunately...

Well, herein lies the Leanúnaí(kind of blurry, my apologies, I cleaned up as best as I could)

Wtf? How did that happen to your ship? It's all blurry...but the blur adds to the colourfullness oddly

NO JPEGS ALLOWED

Well, not really, but you've got PNG's which have no loss of quality and way smaller than bitmaps, so use them for your image needs.

Ok, I'll keep that in mind for my future pictures, thanks. Image fixed, much less blurry, IMO.

::Edit::

New ship up for download, the Caedo minelayer frigate. Thanks to whoever gave me the idea for tachyon mines, as honestly I can't remember which one of you mentioned it first, on IRC I think.

Very nice! good job!

Thanks for the feedback, all. Hmm, lately I've been putting together fighter craft, a little unbalanced I admit, at least by MRA RP standards. But anyway, here's the BETA release of the Rosicrucian assault bomber. With a combination of negative AI and a plasma charge with a low 100 range, it will detonate it's payload over(most of the time) it's target rather than firing it at it and hoping that it hits. Though, this seems a little too effective, as five managed to implode the Vox Vocis's core... However, a swarm of fast, more nimble fighters shouldn't have much of a problem taking one out, and beam weapons have devastating consequences for those whom stray too close.

::update::

Ok, new ship finally up, and a monster, at least compared to my last ships.

The Genesis-Ex Nihilo. Designed to operate with my terraformer ship, still incomplete. To make a long story short. (I need to sleep, I'll add the full description to my faction page when I get the chance) this ship is designed to transport colonists and materials to the planet's surface when terraformation is complete. It's hull actually came from one of my "diamond ships" which was so bad, I decided to strip away the outer layers and reform it from the ground up. Despite it's designated roll, it functions well as a battlecruiser, carrying six upgraded drone launchers, as well as having more than three times the armament as my As Fuil Fhuar class heavy cruiser (still testing, I'll have it up soon).

The form is really top-notch, but the aegis highlights range from "meh" to "gack"... they really detract from the design as it is.

DoubleThink · Post by **DoubleThink** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 1:22 pm

MUCH MUCH MUCH better.

Hmm, that one thing that I'm trying to work on. The section sixteens serve as "reactors", destroying hem takes out a nice chunk of the ship. The green sections were my attempt at "greenhouses" or something along that line. I'll experiment and see if I can get a better color for those. The thirteens near the bow, were originally weapons mounts, but I converted them to fuel-cells/armory banks.

I suggest making those aegis'd green sections full "domes" instead of single Sections 20s. That may make them fit in better.

::Update::

Hmm, I've removed the icky green bits from the Genesis, but i'm holding out on the download until the fleet is finished. Ok, a bit of a big update, or pseudo-update, whatever suits your fancy, but I should be finished with the entirety of the Ataraxian fleet by next week, save for the occasional addition after the bulk of it is delivered. The ships have been tested, tested, and tested again to try to work out any bugs that might be present.

In all, about 25 different ships, give or take two or three if I hold back some for quality reasons. All I really need to do is finish my uber-dreadnought now, but now that most of the others are finished, should be pretty soon. For now, I give you screenshots...

Terraformer Dreadnought type ship, hull 55% complete-

::note::
Most ships have many doodads, were turned off for frame rate reasons.

Micro-Fighters FTW

Nice micro fighters! Very interesting ship, and i see your picking up Spoot Knight's mantle...

Well, it's been a bit since I last posted a ship on this thread. Just after I finish the second generation AIF ships, I start nitpicking and eventually I decided to scrap them altogether and work on mark three. And now I have a few of them complete, plus more around 90 percent complete. The bigger ships are the same, save for a few touch ups, but the smaller cruisers and down have been rebuilt from the ground up.

Here are the first few, downloads will be posted on the front page, or on their respected introduction/announcement post if warranted.

The Cebalrai echoes several ship concepts; Anna's wing mounted beamers, Lizzie and AD's style of ablatives, plus my own color and hull style(Indeed, a veritable plethora of blue hues, at least for the AIF military ships).

A download for the freighter. It is a bit of an experiment more than a fully planned out ship. Includes an Aegis Deflector powered Visual Damage Indicator© which darkens from bright yellow/white to red, if the ship receives damage from straight ahead(Somewhat copied AD's VSE color scheme now that I look at it, honestly was unintentional. I was going for a rusty, aged industrial feel about the ship).

Is this fleet worth building on?
