Atilla's ships

Fear the originality of my thread title.

Anyway, since I've uploaded multiple files now, I guess it's time to start a thread so I can find them all. Or, rather, so other people can find them all, since I already have them organised nicely on my hard drive.


Set One

Download

Image

The Dirge was an attempt to create a ship which relies on modules rather than conventional weapons, and comes in several different configurations.


Image

Divine Whisper, a mothership-type craft.


Image

Excalibur. Yes, I know the name has probably been used before, but you must admit that it's appropriate. Also, it carries the odd "Config II" addendum, because my first set-up was a bit odd and I like this one much better. It's still in the .zip, if you want to have a look.


Image

Grimnir. Nothing really special about this one, aside from being a bit larger than most of the others.


Image

Hekatonchires. Looks rather like a space station, and fires in all directions.


Image

Keening, one of the stranger ships I've made. The side with the platform fabricator is actually the front; the large, pointy bits are the sides.

No, I don't plan to name any ships Sunder or Wraithguard.


Image

Lament, another more-or-less normal ship.


Image

Last Seed, also normal though with a slightly unusual design.


Image

Pinnacle, a fast ship which fires a broadside of pulse cannons.


Image

Requiem, another fast ship with pulse cannons.


Image

Scarab, for long-range bombardment.


Image

Talon. Short-range attack ship.


Image

Tantalus. Comes in three models.


Image

Tensor. Alien weapons + platform fabricator.

And finally...

Image

Wake. Fun with custom Sidewinders.




Set Two

Download

Image

Great Bough. This is probably about as large as I'm going to go. All the weapons are stock.

Image

The Ceres has modified Weasels, which fire in bursts. The Fang is your basic Beamer ship. The Gale is my experiment in short-range broadsides and deflector villainy on small craft. Gaia's Tear is large. And strangely shaped. It exists to test the effectiveness of Tachyon drivers as a defence mechanism.

Image

The Glyph, Rune and Sigil are alien ships, intended for use as enemies. They're close to some of the stronger stock enemies as far as balance goes.



Set Three

Download


Image

The Fist of the Heavens does huge damage at long range. Unfortunately, the AI seems to have a slight problem with the Gosling launchers in the version I'm using. Hopefully this is fixed, or will be at some stage.

The Diadem is more-or-less your standard forward-firing beam ship, although it does make more use of Megabeams than most (alliteration semi-intentional). The Aegis is mostly there for looks.

Image

Two more alien ships. Icon for short-range attack, and symbol for long-range support. Yes, I imported them as enemies this time, so they're the normal pink colour.

you chose a very good color for the screenshots. I especially Like the derge, for the tactial possibilities it could create.

Love the color scheme. It looks like you used blues with a white ship glow, I think? Makes a nice effect. I can never find glows that look good, I usually turn it to black.

I've tried the whole "Ship with only modules and no weapons" thing myself, though mine didn't come out all that well. Yours look nice. You use a lot of the same combos that I do, as well. Though I usually pair Platform Fabricators with Impeder Fabricators, for platformy goodness.

Last Seed reminds me of a manta ray flying backwards.

I want a Wraithguard and a Sunder. :( >.>

Yeah, it's pretty much pure blue with a white glow.

As i already said, nice ships. Youve managed to create some originality with very few pieces.

The larger ones have too many guns for my taste.

If you want a neutral glow, try 40% grey (100, 100, 100).

I actually liked your earlier ships better. I'll admit that's because the
first color scheme felt fitting and the alien colors don't really feel alien to
me. :wink:

New ships (see first post). The screenshot for the alien ships has the correct colour this time, so no complainin'.
