Awesome inspiration builder Doogie

And here's the download, I couldn't come up with anything better so its the same shape as before with slightly different shading. This ship is currently unarmed.

Why not have a part of the darkness that infects other ships. This could be similar to the Borg from star trek. Darkness versions versus their uninfected counterparts would be interesting.

I was actually considering building subverted SAR ships (kinda like what happened to the rebels in Meta1), but could never get anything that looked good, especially since the Darkness didn't have a concrete style at that time.
(SOC R&D messed around with intregrating salvaged Darkness tech into ships, for weapon, engine and control systems. No way that could backfire whatsoever!)

The Lesser Darkness was actually Infected Nirvana-Nova Ships.

[R0ni]

Yes, Darkness do have ability to infect ships, which is why Guardian fleet barely ever makes contact with core fleet and why ships that have been in battle with Darkness (or known to take even single hit) are not to be re-united with the core fleet again - although that alone does not mean infection. Ratai are quite frightened of Darkness, to the point where they might even destroy their own ships if they are boarded. Of course, infection can take time - even years and how it exactly happens remains unknown. Few Ratai that have ever survived their ship beinig boarded by Darkness can not really lighten how its done. At one moment systems will start to fail, then goes control, then goes off power, lights, even backup and next thing you know, your ship is full of nasty machines trying to re-paint the walls with your blood.

Thr ratai captain of the allysium is one of the few survivors.

[Necrontyr1998]

Darkness will have a tough time cutting into the Novians armour, and because every function on a Novian vessel is controlled and powered individualy the power can't simply go out. I suppose the smaller the ship, the less systems it has to be corrupted.

[CryoSleep]

The only way the GTNA counters it by sending out EMP waves but it's not enough to bring down a ship's system because it was only meant for Countering Electronic Warfare but if the ship is compromised the Nirvanians Inside will bring out their Energy Knifes (As i told before the Nirvanians have a Nano Shield Emitter) and prepare for a CQC.

I don't poses the 'team stripe' and can't find it (even in the sprites for the WFTU fleets that i downloaded) could someone help.

[Ambitious Builder]

Not even sure wether I like it or not but decided to post for some C&C:

[Necrontyr1998]

Yes, this one needs looking at (section work round the wings seems to cluttered and disproportionate).

[Ambitious Builder]

Amazing what 30 more seconds with a ship can do (I ate supper and then modified the wings).

[Necrontyr1998]

Better but still seems to be lacking the sleek evil robot feel, maybe doogie could shed some light on it...
