Some random new stuff.

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!

I can't get your carrier to work in game, no matter where the ship folder is - it can't seem to find the drone file. On top of that, the SM file you provided says it was made with a different version, but I'm using .9b as far as I know - any idea what's going on there?

Edit: actually, my own carriers have stopped too - I'll have to see what's going on there.

Edot2: ok, launching BSF from a game file not in the default directory screws up ship loading references, heh. However, your carrier's ship deployer modules need to have their range extended: the range tells the module to deploy when an enemy comes within said distance - yours is tiny, and as such it won't deploy unless the carrier passes directly OVER the enemy ships, which I'm pretty certain it's not designed to do ;)

____________

On the ships: The Berlioz has poor parenting on the red doodads towards the front, they can float easily if the overlaying n underlaying sections are destroyed. Likewise, the support for the Cromag's central autocannon is not connected to its parent, and was left floating when I used it. Small changes, but were obvious from the first time I used them ;) Otherwise, from early plays they seem pretty cool.

(see above carrier comment as well)

Wow! This is really great, blackhart!

The ships have a uniform but unique design to each of them, the green is good (people have already pointed it out, but it doesn't hurt), and the colour placement is pretty darn good.

Btw, is the genobee the successor or predecessor to to the Huetep?

Okay time for another random update.

After finishing my first minifleet I decided to make a second, just for shits and giggles :lol:.

Here are some design concepts I came up with.

The Mediator
Image

The Harbringer
Image

And old version of the Harbringer
Image

The Hellbardier
Image
This ship kind of runs with the previous ship's design.

The Maelstrom
Image

I am aware that some of them need colouring, I am just in the process of finding a good colour combination. So what do you guys think?

Needs something to complement the blue shields.

But what I'd really love to see is for someone to make good use of the green shields.

I decided to run with the Mediator's design, and this is what I got.

Here is the recoloured mediator, which I renamed the Phobos

Image

And here is the newest addition, which is a cruiser class known as the Shodan.

Any C&C is appreciated.

I think I like it.

Unfortunately that's all I can say at this point.No real comments on the design no nit picks.Just bliss.

personally, I would recommend using hidden weapons for these ships, as the weapons on them (and the pd) are just... blech :/ they really don't work with the style.
Beyond that though, I generally like them. No real specific criticism.

hide weapons (make implied weapons) and I would lighten the color on the front two pieces on the Shodan. I like them both; they have style, and the colors match well.

I do think the particle cannons match well on the Shodan.

I like this fleet better than the Legion of Stars ships. Especially the Shodan and Harbinger. The teal-&-gray color scheme and curvy design makes it look as if it were constructed by some art-happy aquatic species. :)

Am....am i dreaming? or do i actually see the most incredible ships i have ever seen and has an idea but dosent think it will work.

also that "leach" is awesome you should make it like a mobile cannon in other words it has a secret weapon stretching through its body or something like that

Well, it has been a while since I have updated, so here are two new ships I have been working on.

Nuemos mine layer frigate
Image

Pulsar mine
Image

Cosmos Dreadnought
Image

I've been pretty busy lately so I won't be updating as often as I normally would, but rest assured that I'm still around and building :).

C&C appreciated.

Cosmos is your best yet, but it looks extraordinarily similar to the Shodan.
