Have a ball!
Unfortunately most are in green or black, due to fail, but theyre all there.

Thanks for the help guys!

Also, watch out, ive forgotten to mod the range of the Contempts railguns so every other ship outranges them horribly, i really can't be bothered to fixit and rehost just for that, so if i ever add anymore ships, ill fix it along with them

Enjoy!

(If you want my colourscheme on them, its primary dark gray, secondary white, tertiary dark blue)

-----------------------Clarity spy drone #42962 report recieved at 0840 Standard time today.-----------------------

Several unidentified masses travelling in close formation with purpose through gamma system, unknown origin, unknown purpose. No response to basic efforts at communication. Spy drone forced to retreat after recieving fire from class 4 beam weaponry.

Intelligence suggests that its our old enemies the Nanz, back for another crack after we 'pacified' them last time. As our ships have grown larger over the years, obviously so have theirs, we will be sending you and your cruiser along with a small escort of light cruisers and destroyers. If they are not looking for negotiation, pacify them again captain. Good luck!

Excuse that, i was bored! Basically these are some opposition i scratched up from somewhere, based of a concept again, these only use beam weaponry, which is focused towards the front, although the turrets on the side 'wings' can rotate to a 200 degree angle. The only human parts are the thrusters, as i found the designs looked wierd(er) without them!

C & C welcome as usual, if you guys so desire ill put them up for download when i finish the fleet!

(I have noticed the stupid colour issue on the largest alien ships wing, mirroring refuses to carry colour across, grr. It will be fixed if i ever put them up for DL.)

They look great, but I think they need more Alien weaponry. Beams can be replaced by a Tachyon stream, or 0-deviation Scatterbeams.

Pulsars would look nice too.

There's some mirroring issues with the ship in the middle, but the fleet looks very nice. Do they have specific roles yet? I see a lot beamers, scatterbeams, and megabeams, but not much variation in terms of role.

Well, these are mostly the alien ships of the line, i have the battleship to finish yet, then ill get into the specializations. The smaller ships are very fast though, and perfect for flanking attacks and hitting my terran fleets weaker rear armour.
The larger ships are made to stick in the firing lines long enough to allow the smaller ships to do that, while dishing out a fair bit of damage as well. 1 for 1, class for class, these will always lose vs the terrans though. Theyre adapted for swarm tactics, whereas the Terrans are better in smaller kill groups.
