[updating]a Series of Frigates and fighters and capitalships

Post by Ubiquitous »

my First time making ships. I even don't know how to apply the aegis deflectors...
but here they are. they haven't got names yet, so i just use names of Greek letters.

the capital ships below: from left to right, top to bottom:

Shipyard Sigma: MASS REPAIR SHIP, CARRIER, DEFENSE TURRET DEPLOY-ER, with flak defense. works as fleet support service.
Destroyer Zeta: a middle-sized multifunctional ship, fire covers all sides, strong defence system, prevails several ships with inferior defenses at the same time.
Destroyer Delta: as an upgraded version of one of the original ships in the game. a fleet defender.
Battleship Gamma: Very strong front fire power, needs on both sides and back.
Battleship Beta: Very strong front fire power, also needs cover on both sides and back.
Capitalships
Capitalships

Frigate Alpha Series: A series of frigates with identical ship hulls and defense, high moving and turning speed, but equipped with different weapons. actually it's more accurate to call them gunship. use Flanking AI

from left to right, top to bottom:
1. Basic pairs of blast and gattling pulse.
2. 4 missile launchers.
3. Lancet and a pair of pulse turrets.
4. 3 Weasels.

Frigate Omicron Series: A series of frigates with identical ship hulls and defense, middle moving and turning speed, but equipped with different weapons. More tougher but slower than the Alpha series (2 more deflectors).
from left to right, top to bottom:
1. 3 Beamers as a capital ship killer.
2. a Gluon Bolter to terminate inferior ships in an area, supported with gattling pulse.
3. a small carrier with 3 demeters, provides support.
4. deploys small defensive turrets to reinforce the front line.
5. equipped with 4 more flak guns, as a part of fleet defense.
6. a Gatblast and 2 gat pulses, delivers moderate fire.
7. a mini repair ship with one Nanomatrix and 2 missile launcher on-board.
8. 2 Railguns provides moderate firepower.

Well, for stock ships, these are remarkably well done. There is (for the most part) no ridiculous weapon spam, the ships have a nice feel to them, and they are not an eyeburning color. Keep it up!

WAT

@ Ubiquitous: Contrary to Da_Dooley's statement, there *is* ridiculous weapon spam. It could be worse though. You can avoid this by modding a single weapon to have the firepower of several ones, that way you won't clutter the hull of your ship with guns.
As for the ships themselves, they're decent starter ships I guess. Try using a more varied section palette (press 'Z' and 1,2,3,4 for infinite profit!) and different colors. Keep practicing, and try to give your ships a more solid feel. The small ships do this decently, but the bigger capital ships look awfully fragile.

FOR THE MOST PART

I was referring to the other ships. Yes, the Caps do have wepspam, but thet can be rectified...

Oh, I'll shut up now.

Thanx for the comments above! those capitalships are really over powered with too many deflectors... but are fragile when some core segments were blowed. actually i made something worse than that.
about the solid feel, in fact i purposely made them look big and fragile, unlike the frigates :)

and thanx for the advice ArcaneDude, i'll try that z 1234!
