Another Small Thing

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!

Another Small Thing

Post by Arcalane »

What's better than a tiny drone corvette?

A tiny drone corvette that can enter a hibernation phase, during which it looks completely harmless!

Just something I was messing around with a little while ago.

Can we see it in action? Maybe more of these "harmless" ships.

I hadn't armed that version yet. But here, have the armed version:

The way it folds up into a dormant mode looks pretty nice, really. Do you have that set to a specific key press, or something else?

It automatically deploys when spawned, but can be enabled or disabled by pressing the comma key.

Love it.

I saw your "Harmless, right?" post, and got this weird vision of the drone corvette "opening up" with a swarm of missiles.
Just a suggestion for weapons mounted.

Err... that actually looks kinda silly, Arca. :lol:

I much preferred the smaller, more subtle chain-guns it had before. These things just look way too big and chunky for such a small craft, and the way they slide outwards seems somewhat goofy.
