An older class of Anatolian combat craft, the Forneus-class is a reliable midsized cruiser armed for general direct combat. It has a much sturdier superstructure than the Innis Mode, while still maintaining a fair amount of maneuverability and speed.
The ship's rear-mounted Burster Pods are notoriously powerful at mid-to-long ranges, though their ravenous projectiles have been known to fly around aimlessly when tackling enemies at closer ranges.

A light Anatolian warship, best suited for scouting and flanking duties. Like most Anatolian vessels, the Innis Mode is composed of organic components grown on a reinforced mechanical superstructure. This particular vessel was constructed using cutting-edge lightweight materials, allowing it to reach practical velocities far superior to competing vessels of similar size.
Its mobility and agility are complemented by its relatively powerful weapons systems. The amplified lasguns allow it to challenge destroyer and cruiser-class vessels given the right conditions. Luckily enough for the other factions, its attack range is severely limited.

Accessories
Fungus-Reinforced Substructure
Photosynthetic Generator
Amplified Weapon Servos


Archive cross-reference scans have identified the vessel as an archaic model of United Terran Military warship-- the ISd-17b Hestia-class Assault Destroyer. The vessel appears to have been corrupted by ravenous Anatolian fungi and is likely being operated by remote control from an Anatolian Assimilator-type vessel nearby.
The vessel's weapon systems have been significantly strenghtened by the fungal blooms. Scans also indicate that the ship's substructure is not as fragile as it looks. Proceed with caution.

Looks lovely, you really succeeded in creating an "organic" look :)
Although nice-looking, the flamethrower weapons seem a little corny to me, but that's just a matter of taste I guess ^^

Great looks, kinda like something was growing on them and taking over ;]

Wow, I really like them. The Innis Mode has exactly the right feel for an techno-organic ship, and the Hestia-zombie is just classic. A flamethrower might indeed be a bit over the top for a Hestia, although the weapon itself looks GOOD.

It reminds me of Homeworld: Cataclysm, the Beast... Creepy

Awesome!!


One nitpick: the hex-doodads on the back go underneath another piece.

Nice. Much better than Deathshands' attempt in the old shipmaker.

Once again, brilliant use of custom (and self-made, nonetheless) sections. Those plant/vine bits are exceptionally well made and fit perfectly. Glowing crystals are a very nice touch and add a lot flavor. And of course i love how crispy those ships are. Overall, stunning ships, please make more!

Thanks for taking time to make gifs, too.

They remind me of Prothean ruins on Ilos from Mass Effect.
