Ships of the Bel'raes Hive

EDIT : Ships in the fleet so far

Maras'Quar Flak Frigate

This frigate is born like most of the ships in the Bel'raes Hive.
its designed as an escort for the slower moving carriers and has good AA capability

Quar'men Fast Assault frigate

this frigate was spawned after a group of scientists managed to steal one of our larger brethen by means of a shield.
and is designed with speed and tracking weapons in mind.

Skarr'quer Transport Ship

a heavily armed transport vessel to transport ammunition and supplies to the fleet and eggs to our Motherships.

Krill Fast Attack fighter

a fast attack fighter designed with sleekness in mind to fool enemy sensors.

Burden Heavy Bombardment destroyer

a sluggish destroyer designed with firepower and armor in mind.
try not to face on your own or bring AP rounds.

Shir'ka Broadside destroyer
first ships in our hive to use bio armor spikes as a design feature.
also has good broadside and AA capabilities(AA being toned down)

Ish'ka Egg Shuttle

Designed to ferry eggs between carriers and motherships.
Also usefull in transport of alien captives.

The overall shape is good, but the autocannon spam on the wings needs to go.

Maybe replace all of the twin autocannons with singles.

its ok..
unless the shape of the whole fleet will be similar to that, the shape is a little to round and the colors are a little bright(but nowhere near eyeburn level

)and in my mind, i see way too many parts on there.
buts thats just me.

I suggest you develop your ship style around the first pictures you posted, specifically the one with the alternative color scheme.

It has both a better color scheme and better section usage. The only change I can suggest making to it would be changing the angle of the front section that flies off the center of the ship, or to fill in the area between in and the tip of the front section. In addition the number of Dual Autocannons mounted on the wing seems a little excessive.

The newest ship is just one the generic bricks the forum has seen since its inception. The color scheme is less appealing than the one on the first ship and the section are arranged in such a way that they don't "blend" together.

Stop the detailed-section spam, use a larger variety in the section choices.

i have tried to make it look the same as the ship i lost because i wrote over it..... well anyway it came out not that different.

well judge for yourselves anyway

Some nice things you did there, especially the missile placement. Slight overuse of that section though... Maybe bring the center line up unless your trying for that look. Not sure I'm liking the blue/gold/gray contrast plus there is some layering errors methinks, at least if each color is inferring a level of different depth. With a little refinement this could definitely be a fleet style.

how about this one... it should be more easy to understand now< i also tried a not so puke greenish colour

Your style is coming together nicely. section usage on this last ship is pretty decent, and the colorscheme is pleasing. No bad things to remark, really. You manage to make curvy ships look okay, not something we see everyday.

i know people will probably complain about the fact that im sticking to almost the same frame but i want to see how many design variations i can base on one base shape

i wanted to create a transport ship like look for this ship(like a pelican from halo , see the wing resemblance)

EDIT:

i made a tiny fighter like ship for use on my carriers

AlphaDetisMegas · Post by **AlphaDetisMegas** » Fri May 01, 2009 3:09 am

my next ship is a small carrier-cruiser
those rods on the backside of the ship can move to give the whole ship a better covering zone with those MG's.
i will make a gif of it to show the moving parts.

Same pic twice there bud.

AlphaDetisMegas · Post by **AlphaDetisMegas** » Fri May 01, 2009 4:31 am

Fixed that link and posting new ship.

this one was made using the inner hull shape of the ship i posted before this one.
i wanted to give this ship a fast sleek build with a fixed forward weapon,like an ion cannon frigate from HW2
