Aeiraan Exarchy Star-Fleet [Update: 02/10 (Again)]

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!

Hmm, it's less interesting, but it worked properly, which makes it better. May I ask why you scrapped the 11 (or however many it is) section crystal and replaced it with the 5 section one? Did the old one not work at all, or was it simply too annoying to do?
Also, you have a layering error, the section 7/8 right in front of the top engine.

A bit of both. For larger ships, tiling small sections works really well (see the Sargomenon), but it's too clunky for small ships. This one is actually 9 sections, the outer layer making it look something other than abysmal but hard to see otherwise.

Recurring a problem. Fixed.

that ship is amazing. scratch that, all of those ships are amazing. out of curiosity, any chance of seeing those ships in combat w/ the doosections? I know lightstriker had something in his guide about getting the mirroring to work.

It'll happen eventually; the Praonun Pyur already mirrors perfectly, I just didn't want her standing out in fleetshots.

It's just a matter of how I've been compulsively building new ships for this fleet, while I normally run out of steam. After I've got a fleet together, I can go back and get the doosections to work, balance the weapons, etc.
