Bellcross Federation - Helicopters in space? Why not?

Maybe, I'm planning on blowing the sonic wave cannon off the Sonorus and building on it. Should be a battleship class.

As some may or may not have realised, this forum is a game based discussion place, not a 'let's all prove someone else wrong by parading my knowledge of physics' place.

Yes, sound does not work that way, and most SW ideals are bullshit and most ST dialogue is over-exaggerated. However, we are here to discuss how Kira's ship looks, which I think is fabulous, and talk about how the sonic weapon likes to rip apart shitty ships like Memento Mori, and so on. (j/k)

I mean, it's impossible for a school of magic called Hogwarts to be hidden from view of satellites, but nobody knocks Harry Potter, because without those impossible ideals, the concept would be boring. Imagine watching Star Wars without the sound and seismic bombs. It would shut the physics bods up, but it would be so immensely lame that everyone would walk out of the room.

So the moral of the story is, sonic weapons are cool, Kira should keep using such things regarless of whether or not they are meant to exist.

1:Fire gas jet at loser.

2:Sonic wave now has medium to travel through.

3:Send Wierd Al Yankovic through the enemy hulls for epic luls.

4: PROFIT.

We still don't know how the Excelion came to be. Initially, a Wyrmtech Industries cargo ship that miscalculated a hyperspace jump discovered the vessel floating inside a nebula and took it onboard. The Excelion was emitting an identification signal matching that of the SBC Mordred, a Sonorus-class believed to have been sucked into a black hole a few years ago. The crew were nowhere to be found. The cargo ship jumped back to Wyrmtech Industries' orbital shipyard to deliver the Excelion.

The ship appears to have changed a lot. The rear section of the ship now has a tail capable of discharging powerful laser blasts, while the sonic cannon was upgraded into a similar laser, but a lot more stronger. Scientists have dubbed it the Phased Cannon Array. The Dark Matter Cannons and Autocannons have been upgraded too.

Inspired by Homeworld 2's Gatekeeper of Sajuuk Dreadnought.

So...it got stretched by a black hole and came back warped somehow??

I like the firey aegis bits.

Looks nice, but I don't really like the tail, it's too repetitive. The fiery aegis combined with the fiery pieces in the front look good. Well done (did I mention I love those wings).

I'm surprised at how this turned out. Initially, I wanted the Archionis to be a battleship-class, but I built on it so much, it now qualifies as a dreadnought...... It's still a WIP though, note the lack of weapons.

The Archionis's basic hull was flown up to the Wyrmtech Industries lunar shipyard in pieces and assembled there. This dreadnought is approximately 2 kilometers in length (not counting the tail), while the wingspan is somewhere under 1 kilometer. Even unarmed, it's still enough to give most people a big scare.

Hmm...the 90 degree thing is showing on some spots, considering these are supposed to have an organic look to them, I'd change that.

Didn't we say at the beginning of this that you should really do some small ships first?

Holy shit, it's a fucking dragon!

Seriously, that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Same here.

I like it, very organic looking except for a few spots.

I like it, except for the places where it goes in a straight line. My suggestion, shorten and fix (make curvier) the neck, and fix the area near the back where it's a straight line.

If you look, you'll see that he did, and they were generally agreed on as good.
