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!
The flagship of AHE's corporate security branch, the Maelstrom is usually hired when another large corporation or nation cannot provide it's own defense, but requiresprotection from level 1 pirate threads, invasion, or civil war. It's incredible size and firepower make Maelstrom the ultimate mercenary force, but it comes at an astronomically large cost. Many institutions will be just as ravaged from paying it's loan as from weathering the attack themselves, but at least they'll be alive.

Something I've noticed is that the largest wings kind of violate the style of this fleet, in that they change angle halfway through. This goes against the 'wings radiating straight outwards from the core' theme you had going.
The section use of the wings themselves though, and the body of the ship, is IMO, excellent.
The back of the ship needs work, yeah. Specifically the launch systems and engines. The wing's angle shift may need to be less pronounced.
@Melv: the ship will be armed with strikecraft (interceptors, fighters, torpedo bombers and maybe even gunships, it's a big ship), long range anti-capital torpedoes, some light and medium beams and your mandatory peashooter. I may even devise a new offensive flak system for it, one that doesn't make such a noise as the tacnuke does.

Forgot to save it, but I'll just use this as a refpic to rebuild it. Opinions?

It may be just me, but I liked the version with the angled wings more. Now it reminds me too much of a snowflake. The slight difference in angle between the front and back wings (they don't line up) also is more pronounced now. In the previous version, the back wings didn't point at the core as much, and I liked that more. Now it seems to be built for aesthetics only while the 'bended' one looked more combat ready.
Other areas have been improved, though. The glow in the back section is a nice addition, as are the lights at the front wingtips.
Of course, it still is a really nice ship, but I don't think this version is much of an improvement.
IT'S A SHARP SNOWFLAKE THAT WILL SLICE YOUR THROAT
Srsly, even if it's a snowflake/ ice crystal, those things look good.
The wing angles could use *some* cleanup, but it's not exactly a priority.
@Dan: one of your flash sprites, actually.
