you'd expect them to want to stay far away and use as little energy as possible to destroy a target so their ships aren't damaged and if they were reeaallly eco-friendly they would recycle their ship. Maybe emp torpedoes?

being eco friendly they prehaps they would use projectiles launched using electromagnets

they would use some kind of projectile that punches through the armour and explodes inside the ship releasing an EMP and a toxic gas.

EMP to disable the ventilation systems and the gas to kill the crew

Thats very eco-nasty, using gas as it's kind of pollution, but I see what you mean. Kinda like a Sabot cannon with an emp torpedo shoved on the front of it.

Wait WHAT, gas is no pollution, its just the state that a particular thing like water is in, in no way is gas pollution, the substance(SO4 for example) is the polluting thing, not the state of said substance.

Pollution in space.....hmmm sounds interesting to me, gas surviving in a vacuum

Someone's never played Sins of a Solar Empire. (TEC refineries, polluting for a better tomorrow.)

As for the ships, I think the Element looks the best out of all of them, but the front and rear dual-particle cannons looks less well placed then the others. The Blast looks kinda like a fish, which isn't really a good or bad thing, just interesting to me.

Not much to say about the rest of the ships.

Per the rules;

Commenting:
We are not all mindless drones here, so try not to behave like one. That means, if you're going to make comments on something, make them worthwhile. Not just one sentence going "i liek it, it r kewl".

Enjoy your new warning.

A gas "surviving" in a vacuum is perfectly viable. Why? Because all gas is 'in' a vacuum. Vacuum is empty space god damn it. D<

My Alien Fleet

sorry about the team colors, it helps me dustinguish the ships.

yeah so...

I was bad and decided to experiment with mecha sprites and i thought that when put together they looked kinda alienish.

Claw Class Frigate

2x Light Blaster? (Can't think of a better name)
2x Feedback Beam
1x Interceptor Beam

Rapier Class Destroyer

6x Light Blaster?
3x Feedback Beam
2x Interceptor Beam

Torrent Class Cruser

4x Light Blaster?
3x Feedback Beam
2x Interceptor Beam
1x Heavy Turret (4x Heavy Blaster? and 1x Radiation Gun {used to distract point defenses})

Wave Class Battlecruser

6x Light Blaster?
2x Feedback Beam
3x Interceptor Beam
1x Heavy Turret (slightly longer ranged {see Torrent})

Flood Class Battleship

6x Light Blaster?
2x Feedback Beam
2x Interceptor Beam
3x Heavy Turret (moderately longer ranged {see Torrent})

I did experiment with a different bulding style on this fleet by expanding the old frigate into the large battleship
The Rapier, Torrent, and Flood were made by expanding the Claw to enlarge the original hull and to arm it further. The Wave however was made at a later date from a seperate hull.

Personally I think that the fleet needs a new name, any suggestions?
C&C please

(also how do you change the topic name?

)

The Flood battleship looks very nice, I really like the shape (looks good in the battle picture as well).

[You can rename the topic by editing the first post.]

perhaps you could put in one of Arcs thruster sprites (preferably the red one) fake aegis it and mess around with colors to create an "eye" that can really pull off the alien ships

it will also help cover the core...
