Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

I like how it looks, quite drone-ish

Being totally honest, the ships in the first post are pretty lousy. Your newer stuff, however, is really quite stellar. Really like the ellipse forms, and the color scheme fits nicely.

The drone ship is nice, but I'm not really sure about the placement of the Demeters. The outline is all curvy and alien, while the weapon placement makes me think of a ruler (the 'draw straight lines' one, not the 'i r pwning u' version).

Removing the middle launcher might actually fix that, I'd think.

Or maybe rotating the red circle sections each a random angle...

Worked on this overnight, at my house, where i don't have internet. More armor has been added, along with more bees and a deflector system, along with Elite Bees. Can you count them all?

Image
This is the Toluk Experimental Platform. This is where I'll put my weapons before i put them on ships.

Image
This is testing basic shielding and the Disruptor Cannon.

Image
The so-far-unnamed Disruptor Cannon in action.

The Toluk has unleashed two (Not necessarily)new weapons.

Image
The Tachyon Splitter was accidentally created during a disruption experiment. It's more effective against strike craft and flagships.(Creator's notes: It actually was created during an experiment with tachyons and detoothing.)

Image
This is the Vorus Projector. (Creator's notes: It looks a bit like a Wraith's projectile(Halo))(Creator's edit: It also lags like a bitch :|)

ya, turns out one of the best ways to make a realistic killable shield is to not aegis it, give it rather high hp, and put a nano on it. Then it looks like they are being recharged.

The newer ships are an improvement but you could do alot more with the design if you hid the demeters. And even better if you had actual fighters flying out.(YAY RAWR FIGHTERS!)

Yeah, it makes it look very Freespace-ish.

Let's try that.

I actually tried making a ship that launched KKM's. Just for realism purposes.

The Vorus has been improved apon. Fear my twin blasts of azure wrath :lol:

Image

Also, i tested it on some of the older, much larger ships.

Image

The Healevore eats plasma with it's face.

The Zeus takes a similar beating.

The Telochus takes on the Leviathan. And wins.

Some of these pictures are outdated. Sorry for the H-Scroll.

The Jarsul Mass Evacuator:

A massive station hidden within only the largest and most populated planets. It is designed to defend the population from orbital bombardment, and is heavily armed.

C&C please.

May I suggest that you outfit every single one of those circles with something, like you did in some ships of your last pic? There are far far too many round circles on what are otherwise more sleek ships, and it really throws the lines off. Obscuring them with turrets at least lends them a notable purpose, and covers them so they are less jarring.
