I have found these ships pretty fun to fight against. Nice job indeed. Are there more coming?

There's a few more in the works, as well as rebalancing, but it might take a while since I'm busy with schoolwork.

You should make civilian ships. All great factions need civilians after all :P

It is well documented science knowledge that space fuel is considerably more explosive than nuclear weapons.

And V1.1's out! Check the OP for the download. Fast attack DDs, missile cruisers, defense platforms and more. Also rebalanced the SAR missile systems. They're much less of a pushover now (especially the Typhoon).

Oh my god what a spam of missiles :O !!!
Shall download those later this evening when back home. Very nice looking stuff!

Question about the windows though. What spirites are they? I have managed to get all the other stuff, but windows seem to be still missing on your ships in my comp.

Using the 'export sprites' option doesn't properly export doodads, IIRC. That's probably the cause of the problem.

Also because the windows wern't in my usual doodads folder and I missed them. I'll reupload the custom sprites in the OP.

Whoa, there were so many of them! I have now tested these ships quite an bit, and got nothing to complain really. Still missing some spirites though. None results in crash however, so its kk. Windows working for exchange.

The Monsoon was biggest surprise (ECM variant) as I pitted it against my missile cruisers only to notice that missiles took off and started to fly into random directions. I did not even know there was such thing in whole game. That became very epic and lenghtly battle by the way, which eventually ended to the victory of Monsoon however :/

Also, Im tempted to draw engagement between Stormhammer battlestation and Ratai fleet. The spam of missiles and point defense fire in response would make epic scene. Like.. BSG style epic scene!
