Yummiest ship yet, Seraph. Now I really want TURRETZ.

Great ship, like all of them. I wish I could make such awesome ships, but I just can't design anything this good.

The turret design is probably my favorite part. Do you allow the railguns to rotate? I guess you have the Megatachs as 0 arc so they don't rotate, and 0 range so they don't fire?

Yeah, that's pretty much it. The Railguns rotate a bit, which kinda screws up their appearance, but they have a low turn speed, and the default radius, so it's not too bad.

Shit, I was assuming that too.

I'm working on a Fleet of ships, which won't technically belong to Seraphim Industries, because... well, these ships aren't going to be anywhere near as powerful. I won't say stock-balanced, 'cause they probably won't be, but they won't be anywhere near as uber as my usual fare.

Here's what I've got so far. It's 5am, now, and I'm going to sleep. Lemme know what you think of it so far, guys.

Wow! Now those are works of art. 8)

Clicky to see my fleets! [/url]

The stretching looks sort of bad (in comparison to the rest of the ship), but the main bodies of the ships look great, as usual.

Gotta love the double/triple plating you use!

I am plotzing (a good thing) over the colour scheme. By the way how do you get the white ouline around those sections? My guess would be a slightly larger piece under the original?

You have no idea how funny this sounds when you're delerious from sleep loss... I'm sure I'll wake up tommorrow and wonder what I found the slightest bit funny, but now I definetely have a case of the lulz...



But on to the topic at hand, SWS' fleet WIP. Damn, what can I say. You, more than just about anyone on these forums manage to build ships that look like more than an amalgamation of parts in the shape of a ship. I think it can be partly accredited to the contrasting color schemes and those bright outlines you use, but so many other users here seem to miss it entirely.

Wow... the big one in the middle is badass... What is it?

And these look like they're on MY level in terms of size, so my ships won't get vaporized right off the bat! Can't wait till you finish em!!

Hotness.
How does one do those outlines...I wonder, I wonder.

Thanks for the praise. The bright outlines are actually more Novercalis's fault. He's not around much any more, but I got some great ideas from looking at his ships. Which is amusing, because he said I was the inspiration for his ship building, and in turn, I took inspiration from his ships. The contrasting colour schemes are mostly thanks to Talhydras bitching at me to use more colour on my ships.

I'll be including a How-To guide on that, in the SWS Guide to Good Shipbuilding, once I get back to work on it.

Oh man...I WANT THOSE SHIPS!

*takes mental note to copy the style in upcoming fleets*
