Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

[Doogie12]

I'd actually say the wings are the worst part. The body is fine.

I'd actually say the wings are the worst part. The body is fine.

I'll redo them after the next ship. Is it all the wings? After all, there are 8. 2 medium, then 2 large, then 4 tiny.

[Doogie12]

The really big ones are a bit jumbled. It's not bad at all, but still worth noting.

New HG ship. (Not yet doodaded)

HG Salvation (It sounds religious enough)

Primary Armament: New HG weapon
"Valhalla" Rotary Frost cannon - Utilizing contained magnetic fields within each cartridge, volatile liquids are super-frozen rapidly. When the firing sequence initiates, the container is opened at one side and the mixture expands violently as the magnetic field is reversed to cause rapid heat expansion. Using its own momentum from such rapid expansion, it streaks across the battlefield. The magnetic fields along the barrel help to guide and aim the "projectile" as it leaves the barrel. All these things happen in near an instant, thus the mixture is still sub-zero temperature. The low temperatures cause structural weaknesses in the hulls of other combat vessels, making less advanced hulls brittle and less resistant to other weapons.

Components
Class: Cruiser: Rapid-Fire Support
Light Blue Laser x 8

Looks nice if you could add some engines to the sides.
at my point of view to your skills, your still barfing blue colors everywhere to your HG ships.
if anytime you want to rework your faction, look up the Advent from Sins of a Solar Empire for inspiration or the Vasari for a cruder alien look

[Doogie12]

His coloring job is fine, it just lacks doodads.

You guys may choose which of the original nine HG ships to be replaced with this one upon its completion. I am leaning towards replacing the HG 05 Virtue.

The Dominion is the one most in need of a replacement - the current design is real bland.

[Zalausai]

The previous ship has been doodaded.

Recommended by Calvin1211 to replace the HG 06 Dominion

Also, a new ship has appeared.

An interesting shape experiment. A large frontal shape like the HG 06 Dominion. Originally intended as the replacement.

As a side note for the super newbie handbook. I am going through all of the weapon parameters currently.

[CryoSleep]

That's much better than the old dominion, crude and curvy than the other ship which looks meh to me.

[Doogie12]

See how Doodads can make a world of difference?

[CryoSleep]

I see your point doogie.

[Zalausai]

This ship is designed for the Grand Prix event thing by Majicnanas. It follows all the shipbuilding rules.

It is also the first ship to experiment with using additive doodads to create a shiny effect.

HG Zephyr
It's adorable.

Open to comments and critique.

Now, to make one for the HLB.

[Necrontyr1998]

This is one of your best zal. Those doodads are executed perfectly.

It's a weird little place to get better names for HLB ships.
