UFC (Union of Free Cybernetics)

Union of Free Cybernetics

The UFC is a collection of Cybernetic organisms that have come together in their common goal for freedom. The 'individuals' within this nation do not necessarily come from the same race of 'makers', in fact almost every cybernetic is unique. The formation of the Union began when a group of sentient machines from the species known as the Dron commandeered a detachment of warships and proceeded to free what they saw as 'enslaved' cybernetics. This 'goal' drove them to annihilate the Dron, freeing all they could, but these sentient machines did not stop there. Using they now derelict orbital shipyards, the fledgling UFC built more ships and ventured out into the darkness of space. Upon meeting other species that are employing AI of any sort, the UFC will proceed to free others of their kind. This violent 'revolution' will often destroy entire civilizations and entire species. Driven by their sense of purpose, the UFC continued on their bloody crusade seeking out other cybernetics to bring into their fold.

Nice story you have there. I also like your ships. Nice use of glow. But the wings of the Staff, Halberd, and Javelin appear to be floating in mid air?

Actually, I can see what appear to be really dark connecting pieces, so either they're quite secured, or my eyes are going out.

Nice! I'm happy you decided to do something with the Halberds design, the ships looks splendid and the backstory is quite interesting. I think the nose of the Scythe looks a little too stretched, otherwise they are all very nice ships!

Cybernetics are the technology used to make cyborgs. It would be pretty weird for an union to be composed of half-living arms.

Staffs wings look a bit weird in my opinion, but other than that, nice ships.

I hear they're carried by robots, who have been given the right to bear arms.

Impressive ships as always, the story however is strangely similar to what I was working on for my fleet in development.

Anyway... Congratulations on the awesome ships!

Again, some great ships as usual, although I feel they aren't very "darkship" themselves.

There is no escaping this kind of story, its been around for a while with slight variations here and there. So yeah >_>

Anyway bump for new ship, the Glaive. Its too big to be a cruiser and yet too small to be a battleship. So its a mini-dreadnought.

Comments?

I still think that the nose of the ship is a little too stretched compared to the rest of the frame, but thats just my personal asthetic opinion. Looks to be coming around nicely though

Well those who dislike the stretched front might like this update more. Here I present the Gungnir, A Dreadnought of tremendous power! >:D

Its designed differently in that the side wings have been extended to forward to form the nose. What used to be the nose on other ships has been shortened and enclosed within the two wings.

I think it looks alright, and yet it still is able to fit in with the main fleet.

Anyway comments and suggestions anyone?

Did the image break? The Gungnir shows up as a Photobucket notice.

Darkship · Post by **Darkship** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 2:32 pm

My apologies. It should be fixed now.

Crap.
Craaaap
My p key is screwed! Put how? This is pullsh*t! Crab on a stick. Hey! Pelieve it or not, my p key is switched against the b! Bheew.

Those ships do look like crab in my opinion. Lobster to be precise. Gungnir is awesome in big time. But curiously, the glow didn't clash with the ship. I wonder why. Nice work DS.
