----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------
Autonomous Combat Drones
----------------------------------------------------

The Autonomous Combat Drone series are cheap, independent, AI-controlled attack robots that can unleash havoc upon enemy fighter squadrons. The Bomber version releases a nanocloud that can wear down Capital ships over time. The Nanoclouds are particularly useful at causing point-defence weapons to waste their shots, and more importantly, "Go Spaztic."

----------------------------------------------------
Volo-Class Corvette/Postulo Volo-Class Dogfighter Corvette
----------------------------------------------------

The Volo-Class, and its' variant, the Postulo Volo, are fast, powerful corvettes designed for patrol, reconissance and fighter/drone-interception duties. They carry a small crew and are armed with light weapons. Fast and agile, they strike a balance between the Frigate-Class and Combat Drones/Fighters.

----------------------------------------------------
Chalybs-Class Beam Frigate/Chalybs Telum-Class Artillery Frigate
----------------------------------------------------

Sporting two beam cannons, the Chalybs-Class can engage other Frigates or larger ships in groups. It's variant, the Chalybs Telum, sacrifices speed, armor and the beam cannons to mount a deadly Storm Cannon, a long-range artillery cannon capable of tearing down capital ships section-by-section.

---------------------------------------------------
Ventus-Class Attack Destroyer/Incendia Tempestas-Class Artillery Destroyer
---------------------------------------------------

The workhorse and pride of the Nexian Fleet, the Ventus-Class Attack Destroyer sports energy and beam cannons, as well as a single plasma autocannon. Good point-defence and shielding round off this already impressive ship. It's brother, the Incendia Tempestas, sacrifices speed, armor and a few weapons to mount two Ifrit Cannons, and a Photon Bolter that shoots near-invisible streams of photons at the enemy.

---------------------------------------------------
Mucro-Class Cruiser
---------------------------------------------------

The Mucro-Class is essentially the Ventus on steroids. Wing pods allow for enhanced shielding, additional weapons and upgraded armor but this come at the price of speed. The Mucro is used when the Ventus is simply not enough, and trades in the middle Plasma Autocannon for a Photon Cannon.

---------------------------------------------------
Regis-Class BattleCruiser
---------------------------------------------------

A massive juggernaut of energy and beam cannons, the Regis is incredibly heavily armored and shielded, and carries two EMP Cannons. These cannons, unlike conventional ones, shooots an extremely powerful pulse, then fires a cloaked shell containing nanowires that cause additional short-circuits, if the pulse hasn't stopped the hostile ship already.
--------------------------------------------------
Weapons
--------------------------------------------------

Energy Cannon

Medium Nexus Alliance weapon that fires a burst of energy bolts. Deals moderate damage.

Beam Cannon
Powerful Nexus Alliance Beam weapon that fires a short-lived burst of energy. Deals a lot of damage in a short amount of time and is uninterceptable.

Nanocloud Generator
Releases a swarm of ravenous nanobots at the enemy. This causes enemy ships' point defence to go crazy and deals fair damage all over the ship.

Storm Launcher
Fires a powerful, precise bolt of antimatter at the target. Ideal for breaking down
stronger ships piece by piece. Can also be used to target weakpoints for massive damage.

Needz moar gunz!

I like the arc of blasters on the edges of that big ship.

I think the last ship has invisible drones...
Nice work, anyways. I like the "curved pod" design.

ITT Atrum steals my shieldwalls.

I really like the curved designs on the two largest ships. However, the rest of the fleet uses a completely different style, and they don't fit together too well. Still, nice ships.

As a whole, a solid and good looking fleet. Im not a fan of color scheme, though. Only two colors, and its too bright.

But Mucro and Regis are really the highlights here. I like the first one, and the Regis is just sweet. Except maybe the yellow connections between the pods, those two pieces with aegis sticking out of the hull near the engines and a few depth/mirroring errors, its perfect. Its got loads of interesting stuff in it - the whole curved pod with blasters idea, usage of circle pieces as weapon munts, the engines, the way youve created inner hull (yellow parts)... good stuff.

Those zoomed in screenshots are not the best idea, imo. Glow becomes too excessive in them. Oh, and crop your images, please

Regis looks good.

Invisible drones? Yeah, the Regis and (I think?) Mucro sport Nanocloud Generators, like the bombers. And yeah, I think the Regis needs moar forward guns... Might be adding another beamer bank.

Editz: My bad on the image sizes. Sorry to all you 640x480 guys out there >.>

*EvilAngryAtrumPost*

Except that by using a core, and sections, and weapons, you have stolen my design.

Grr.

TH, fix missiles and demeters. I want to let the Missile Ships and other ships out of the closet...pwease?

I think that was the killing blow.

MAKE MOAR SHIPS SO I CAN BLOW THEM UP.

Also, the nanocloud thingies seem a bit OP compared to the rest of the weapons.

I know that...I know that...

They only work over time. If you need something (SMALL) gotten rid of quickly, you're better off having a group of Interceptor Drones harassing it instead of a Bomber.

Or maybe a pair of Volos.

omg the stormlauncher is mean, it blew up an entire arm of my Marton dreadnought without even another piece beeing destroyed. I do find the EMP cannons are way to powerful

POST MOAR SHIPS

I noticed the sarcasm, too.
