Bad Boy's Old Ships, Fleets, and Links.
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 10:28 am
I figured its about time I make this thread. It's just a hub for random ships and fleets that have been discontinued and don't really deserve their own thread, as well as random ships that I won't make into a fleet. Some of them have downloads, some don't. If anyone thinks that any of these should be continued, please tell me. Also included will be links to all of my various fleets that have their own threads.

Random Ships/Fleets Posted Here:
Neverborn:
The Neverborn
The Neverborn's main beam array in action.
The Neverborn's two secondary beam cannons firing.
The Neverborn's other weapons firing.
I made this when I was at one point fed up of the E.D.F. It didn't turn out at all as I had planned, but I think it looks quite decent. It's fairly on par with titan ships, and can easily own any MRA balanced dreadnought. It's main weapons are beams with very high damage and a very high reload. It's secondary weapons are two short duration beams designed to do tons of damage over a wide space, with a long reload. It's other weapons are various highly modded pulsars designed to provide constant fairly weak fire. I had originally planned to arm it with nothing but pulsars, but then found out that there's not that much one can do with them (that is to say that you can do more with them than with any other gun, but not enough to arm a ship entirely with them and not have all of the weapons looking fairly similar). Also, yes, I know that the pictures without the sun are hard to see, and that with the sun it looks like a silhouette. Please don't complain about that, because that's what I was aiming for. Also, one interesting thing is that I've found a way to make a stationary one shot gun platform thing (I'll give you a hint, it's the pulsar in the center of the ship).
Beam Gunship:
I'm sure at least one person remembers the gunship I posted in the EDF thread, and this is the evolution of it. Yes, I know it's fuck ugly, yes, it took me very little time to make, and yes, I may work on this concept and actually do something that doesn't look unpleasant with it (but maybe not). I do not want everyone telling me how ugly it is, because I already know that it looks like shit.
Random Nameless Fleetlet Thing:
The Corvette
The Frigate
The Other Frigate Design
Firstly, yes, I know that the weapons appear to be facing backwards, meaning the missile shoots backwards. Anyway, I randomly made the corvette sometime during this summer in a sudden spurt of creativity, then I made the frigate, disliked it, changed it, still didn't like it, changed it again, then gave up and went back to working on the EDF. As a result, there are only three ships (two of which are the same thing), and I have no idea where to go from here (but it's probably going to be nowhere) with them. I would appreciate thoughts on which frigate is better, but if I don't get any, that's fine too. Also note that all of the pics have been quickly brightened because they were originally to dark. Due to this, they look a bit strange. Also, sorry if they're still too dark, if they are, I'll retake pictures with a sun in the background to brighten things up.
The Hidden Fleet:
The Recluse Class Corvette
The Hermit Class Frigate
The Hunter Class Assault Battleship
A stock balanced fleet I started a long time ago, stopped working on, then started back on. I recently upgraded them with doodad's some of which, in my opinion, look quite great, but sadly the pics don't show them too well. All of the weapons and modules are modded to various extents. I tried to make them similar and balanced to stock ships, and I think I succeeded to an extent. I'll probably actually work on these and give them their own thread sometime, but for now, they're in this one.
The Aziraphalie Fleet:
Hadraniel
Zachariel
Barachiel1
Barachiel2
Seraphiel Class Small Station
My fleet for the second cold war thing. I never bothered to post them due to the fact that most of them are fairly unattractive. I'm not sure which Barachiel to use, but I suppose it no longer matters so... Also, just to tell you, these are relatively stock balanced, with the hadraniel being fairly equal to a Zelus, the Zachariel being fairly equal to a Hestia, and the Barachiel being fairly equal to a Cronus (despite being 250 or 266 pieces larger than the cronus depending on which ship it is). Oh yes, please don't bug me about the fact that this fleet is essentially comprised of one section repeated over and over, because I know this.
Okay, new ship, no proper name as yet (its placeholder name is 'Try', hence the picture names). Thanks to everyone on IRC who helped me fix it. I plan to make this into one of those ships that expands (i.e. I add more sections to it, and it becomes a new ship) into a fleet. In terms of pics, the first pic is the original version of it, with its overly dark colours which were fixed thanks to the friendly folks on IRC (who are definitely not super elitist elite people who are extremely elite and elitist.)
Old pic.
Idle pic.
Small guns and pd.
Bigger guns.
Main beam (note it has plasma so it explodes at the end, but sadly that doesn't work very well because plasma refuses to be any colour other then red or green).
Ships Moved From New Thread
Here are the first 2 ships I made with SMCE, they're pretty mediocre, but they were just there to explore the new shipmaker.
I was screwing around and decided to build something wide, and this is what I came up with. I don't plan to arm it, so it's probably finished. The second one is an extended version I came up with.
My first real attempt at rotating sections, I think it turned out pretty well. Sorry for the slightly jerky picture, I had to put on frame skip of 2 or 3 (I can't remember which) so it wouldn't end up being ridiculously long. Note that the second one is how it should look, I just never managed to get my ship gif to not fail, so I posted both the gif and the pic.
Just another ship that I never got around to arming or naming. I have two pics of it, because I'm not sure whether I prefer it backwards or forwards (pic 1 = forwards, pic 2 = backwards).
Probably my best ship yet, I'm kind of sorry to have to lose this one, but I definitely don't feel like remaking it. It was kind of (very) inspired by Talhydras' style, which is probably one of the best styles on the forum, if you haven't seen them, I advise you to check them out. Note that the wings are animated, the position you see them in is about four fifths through their animation, and I decided it was the coolest position for them. Also included is the first installment of the ship, the ship before wings.
Also, I'm remaking the Papal Fleet, so here are some pics of the first few ships. They'll get their own thread when the fleet is a decent size, but they're here for now.
The Romanus Class Corvette - All hail the reptilian space pope!
The Benedictus MkI Class Gunship - I don't exactly like it, so I might redo it in the future.
The Benedictus MkII Class Gunship - No default zoom pic, because I don't have one.
Designed as a replacement for the relatively obsolete Benedictus MkI (in fluff, I'm not actually replacing the other one with this one, they're two separate ships). I prefer it to the other Benedictus in both looks and armament, plus it's better.
The Evaristus Class Bombardment Frigate - It ain't too pretty (and by that I mean that if it's too ugly I'll redesign it), but it fires a shitload of torpedoes which looks awesome.
The Anacletus MkI Class Destroyer - Similar fluff as the Benedictus MkI, that is, it's a fairly solid ship but it's outdated and being replaced, etc. I rather like it, in my opinion it's quite nice, but also fairly generic looking.
No default zoom pic, because I don't have one.
The Anacletus MkII Class Destroyer - The Benedictus MkII for the Anacletus. Somehow I never ended up putting this up, so here it is now, god knows how many months later.
The Damasus Class Battleship - I rather like this one, and it causes me to love torpedos.
A papal ship I never finished, I think it was going to be a battleship or a dreadnought or something. I never really liked the final version, and kept trying to fix it, which is why it was never finished.
That's everything so far, this post and thread will be updated, comments and criticism welcome.
