The Cú Chulainn looks really good, I thought you were remaking the Deus until I noticed it was called Project: Babylon.

Now all you need to do is name the main weapon on the Cú the Gáe Bulg and you'll be set.

Those two new ships are an awesome addition Anna! I like your halberd/spear head themes.

I have a question on your shipbuilding techniques though. Since your ships are symmetrical, do you build the body first in half and then mirror it and then add weapons in or you just build the body half and add in weapons?

I usually mirror as I go, and fix up any errors that may arise. I add weapons after the fact, to one side of the ship, and then mirror them, more often than not.

I was considering doing that, except the Cú Chulainn doesn't really have a "main weapon", so it's not really an option.

Hah! No, Project: BABYLON will make the Deus look like child's play in comparison, once it is complete. At least, that is my hope. I try my best to improve myself with each ship, or to at least try something new.

Thanks for the support guys. I'm kinda stumped on P:B right now, having trouble deciding on what to do for the rear portion of the ship... I'll get it eventually, though. Never fear.

I almost thought you crafted a new weapon, but it turns out to be a group of cleverly modded pair of railguns and a decorational megatachyon.

I think words will just spoil it.

70% is a conservative estimate.

I think you should post up the total sections as well. Just because your ships are made of win, most people would want to know about that and of course, to drop some jaws.

Apparently you like making god-like mega ships.
To which I say: awesome.

Now if only my computer could run BF when using those...

As of the picture I'm about to post, the section count is at 1318.

Making God-like Megaships is my thing. It's what I do. It's how I roll. And expecting any of them to run at about 5fps in a fight is expecting far too much. I just make them to look pretty.

Speaking of which:

1494 Sections, now.

Absolutely goddam epic. Best ship yet in my opinion.

so...so...awesome...

*head explodes from sheer epic-ness of the ship*

Y'know, in that last screenie, you still have some green little dots. I hate to be annoying, which I most likely am, but yeah.

Even so, that thing is made of 10 different kinds of awesome.

Apart from the sheer awesomeness of it, I only have one nitpick...

Those side Aegises are ruining the effect of the entire ship - they're too glaring for the eyes. Maybe change them to a slightly darker colour or just recolour them anyway? The frontal Aegises are fine, though.

Heh, I was about to point that out.

I wonder what kind of ubercannons Anna will put on those forward aegis'd sections...
