Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

[Zalausai]

Maybe. After I finish the HLB 03 Cerberus. It will launch three drones that spin around the ship and fire weapons of their own.
Lol, Cerberus, HLB 03, and three drones. So much word and number play with this one.

For those members who don't know what he's talking about:

Cerberus is a greek myth of a dog with 3 heads that guards the gates of Hades.

Necrontyr, everyone knows that. Everyone. I would be surprised if there was anyone who didn't know that. You're not being helpful when you state the bloody obvious.

[Zalausai]

HLB 03 Cerberus has arrived.

It has 3 limited movement self-launching "drones". Each with a three barreled rotating cannon. And it's a carrier class ship.

Please don't complain about the teamcolored HG jump node. I'm still working on that stuff.
Still working on the accuracy.

Not balanced or complete yet, but for those of you who like looking at working specimens.

Comments and critiques are welcome.

Zalausai Edit: Figured out the accuracy problem. It'll be fixed later.

I did not expect the HLB Hellion to be so popular compared to the other ships. I don't really know what it's appeal is either.

[Necrontyr1998]

I've made an in-atmosphere version of the Unity fighter to rival it.

The Cerberus is actually quite nice and probably one of the better ships you've made. I think you really need to work on better shading for your ships, though. They greys are too bright and the reds are too dark for them to mesh well. idk, though, maybe that's just me.

[Zalausai]

HLB 03 Cerberus is complete.

It is also the only ship with consideration taken to balance for the WFTU.

It has little fighters. The first ship to utilize fighters that I made.

About the color. If the red is lighter, I believe that it would look too similar to the colors of the A.I.M. (Anna's faction).

Zalausai Edit: Increased HP of main turret.

Now you've smushed the (fictional) KV-VI into the mix. That track base is far too long and thin, it's going to impede turning.

[Zalausai]

Most likely. Once a background can be found, I was going to add basic thrusters to make it a hovertank. That was the plan, but I can't do that until I figure out a good color setting.

I have an interesting idea for a color changing projectile. It works in tests. I'm thinking of using it for the next HLB ship. It'll change from white, yellow, orange, then red. Basically a weapon that fires different color projectiles. I'll overlap them to look like a fireball for this one. First though, more testing.

The next one will use SWSs advice so the two color schemes can be compared.

[Necrontyr1998]

Fireballs eh? I see several flaws with that idea but I'll wait to see your plan before casting further judgment.
