Noctis's work Currently Mechanist Fleet (clockwork)

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!

Or to use them as emoticons similar to this?

pretty please?
Usage of smilies is okay, even if they're your own. Anything that is not a smiley will be mashed down your throat with a toilet brush. The warning will be inserted somewhere else, but this is a decent board, so no mentioning that. So go ahead with those things like the one up there.
It's preferred if you keep them small, though. No posting up avatar-size ones.

Well I'm back after a long hiatus. Playing around with the new parts. Way to go Everyone that helped make this update, great improvements. I'm not really going to change these first few, but let me know what you like and dislike on them and I'll base my later, more serious, ships on that input.

thankies

The Cutter, Named for the sharp tips. When armed it will be outfitted with several Tesla cannons and twin sabot cannons.

Also, if you look, the wings have two different color schemes. Which one do you think looks best? The one that appears to be more enclosed in blue armor or less?

Not bad. I prefer the more blue wing. And I think that the rear of the ship ends far too abruptly.

Concept for a racing ship, may expand upon it later

Hellion-892 "Hot Seat"

Winner of the Europa 144rd annual Grand Prix, the Hot Seat is commonly described as "a cockpit tethered to a runaway cruiser engine." In reality the Hot seat's engine was actually scavenged from the UEDF Hrímfaxi after its historic retirement. After being scavenged the engine underwent extensive modification, including the striping of almost all safety features. The cockpit was integrated almost directly into the superstructure of the lightened engine.

Unmatched in both speed and hazard, the Hot Seat when on to win both the 145th and 146th EGPs before colliding with with an rogue asteroid in a qualifying match for the 147th. It and everything within .4 spherical miles was atomized.

@ last ship: Theres some potential in that concept. Wish i could see it at default zoom.

There is a screenshot option that lets you pick the area to capture and automatically saves to png. Read the documentation.

Here is the updated version, in both default zoom and closer. For some reason I can't find the directory for the screens that the SM makes so these are mine again.

It could use some color variation/depth. And to be honest, i liked the very first version the most.

Not bad, not bad. You've improved alot, and you use the new sections well. I'd like to see screens of your ships at 100% zoom though.

Nice ships. Don't have much to say really. But did I just spot my other fleet's name "UEDF" in the description of your ship the Hot Seat?

Personally, I preferred your pre-CE ships. Maybe try redesigning them with this version?
