Bellcross Federation - Helicopters in space? Why not?

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.

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

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

The Archionis actually started out as a much smaller battleship, but I ended up building on it so much until it became like this. The hull's still a little incomplete, I'm planning on adding a few missile racks at the base of the neck, and as they say, curvify it.

IMO, the neck's length is okay now. Dragons have long necks, don't they?

[XxKiraYamatoxX]

Removed a few glow pieces at the back so it doesn't look blocky. Armed it too, did I overdo it?



The recently finished Archionis will undergo its maiden voyage today, on the weapons testing range. The dreadnought's basic loadout include multiple banks of Buster Cannons, AA vulcans, AA gatling pulse guns and two retractable missile racks at the base of the neck. Dark Matter Cannons have been mounted in the wings and on the hull as well.

The main weapons include four Gravity Blast Cannons equipped with target trackers, two Megabuster Cannons and a Teragravity Cannon (yay for gradients) in the prow. There's also a rapid-firing tail laser cannon and a cluster bomb launcher hidden inside the tail. Four Assault Drone launchers sit near the neck base too, while a pair of Graviton Cannon Arrays guard the rear.

I did look, actually, and I thought they were good too. Far better than the titans he keeps making. Which is exactly my point.

Seconded, those were still much better.

Here's a little test ship.



Due to the trouble caused by crewless finished ships in the lunar shipyard with their crew on Earth and a long time away until they got to the ship, Wyrmtech Industries decided to build a spaceship that could be launched straight from the Earth out into space without the need of extra booster rockets. Hence, project Skylaunch was born. The Sorashi is the first ship of the project to be completed.

Project Skylaunch relies heavily on Wyrmtech Industries gravity manipulation technology to lift the ships up without a need for visible engines. Built around that, the Float Drive was created. It's essentially a engine that releases waves of distorted gravity to propel itself up that's both cost-efficient and environmentally safe, due to the nature of the gravity waves that causes them to disintegrate 5 seconds after release.

The Sorashi-class cruiser itself is equipped with two Float Drives mounted inside the wings. These Float drives may also redirect their energy into Tachyon Emitters on the wings for use as weapons. Two Autocannons are mounted beside the bridge, while two Gatling Pulse guns sit behind the Gravity Cannon.

Bump? I'll build more Skylaunch ships when I have the time to.

[ArcaneDude]

Quite good, although it wouldn't hurt if you varied the colorscheme a bit more.

[jwa8402]

I like the concept of the dragon ship and how you have slowly made it more organic looking, just try to keep everything proportional and you'll be good. The test ship is cool, I like what you did with the wings and can see that used on alot of ships in place of aegis lines

[Scorpia]

Woah! These are awesome ships dude! Pretty, pretty, shiny, shiny... Love the smooth design.

[Commodore111]

one thing, why does just about EVERY ship in your fleet have a superweapoN?

[XxKiraYamatoxX]

Well, I just liked the prospect of having a main gun for every ship. Not a super weapon, mind. Superweapons are like the Slayer's Graviton Cannon and Orion Industries' Cerberus and Kerberos.

[XxKiraYamatoxX]

Project Skylaunch will be put on hold until further notice due to a fault in the graviton disruptors that causes bad side effects to any human body exposed to the waves.

On a side note, Wyrmtech Industries has announced the deployment of a new fleet, named Fleet Ceranox. This fleet features two of Wyrmtech Industries' latest ships, the Dragrunner and Dragunner. Stock balanced, somewhat.



The fleet currently consists of three Dragunners, eight Dragrunners and seven Crax fighters. It is expected to get larger in the future.

The Dragunner is a cruiser-class made for swift and speedy attacks. It excels at medium to long ranged combat, sporting a Phalanx Buster cannon in front of the ship. However, the ship's basic weapons systems were emphasized too much, neglecting point-defenses completely. Replacing that is an anti-beam mine launcher, which bends enemy beams away from the mothership for a limited period of time.

Dragrunner-class light cruisers are reasonably fast, allowing them to outrun most other cruisers. They're weak when alone, but strong when in groups. These ships have a particle bombardment system installed behind the bridge.

Don't get them confused, the Dragunner is one 'r' short of DragRunner.

Due to cases of Vilushan Sovereign Empire ships intruding into the territory of a Wyrmtech Industries-built space colony, the fleet is expected to perform a hyperspace jump to take up defensive positions there in.

[XxKiraYamatoxX]

The Frontier supercarrier is loaded to breaking point with drone launchers, making it a formidable opponent in battle even though the ship itself has very few conventional weapons. The supercarrier is only armed with anti-air pulse guns and a few Heavy Dark Matter Cannons, alongside a few point-defense weapons. Secondary armaments on the ship would be the powerful Particle Bombardment System. A new feature seen so far only on the Frontier is a graviton barrier shield, maintained by four barrier drones. Once the drones are destroyed, the field will fall.

[Spoot Knight]

The section surrounding the core looks awesome.
