Custom ships from the older versions

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!

Custom ships from the older versions

Post by Moriarty »

Back when BF first got it's sandbox mode, there were some custom ships included (hardcoded?) that were quite cool...most memorable is the Imperator with its horribly uber beamer broadsides.
Any chance these can be included in the next release (of BF or shipmaker)?

I'd like to see what this "Imperator" was like!

One guy made a really cool Prometheus class from Star Trek IIRC...

The ones I remember:

Imperator: similar shape to the Hecate, but with a long segmented spine with a beamer and point defence on each piece! 6 demeter launchers and 2 matricies made this horribly uber

Olympus: Looking like an upgraded Athena, 4 deflectors and a ton of broadside weaponry

Apocalypse: very angluar battleship, much forward facing gunnery

I see a whole bunch of ships, but not the aforementioned "Imperator," "Olympus" and "Apocalypse"

I've been trying to convert these old custom ships to the new .shp format but there's just been too many changes; the files are no longer compatible with the game.

Some pictures of the ships would be nice, if some of us were inclined to try and rebuild them.

...well, I do have a ship that according to official sources is called the "Imperator" class, or at least it's meant to look like one...
