IFNC 7th Fleet (updated 03/06 - carrier refitted)

[AlphaDetisMegas]

update:



I'm pretty set on the shape now (having multiple runways on an escort carrier would be a bit overkill), and now all I need to do is finish making/modifying sprites. btw the covers over the runway that I've used for the rough build are actually scrap sprites that were originally made as extensions to the wings

looks great, especially the doodads and the two struts on the front.
this setup looks great and makes sense too, if the hangar was placed facing the nose, landing craft or departing craft could have been burned by the engines exhaust fumes(which i assume it has.)

I also like the fact that you placed the runway on top of the two wings instead of under, and didn't make a X runway out of it by making another deck, because they would be on the same height, that could cause collisions when landing, you get what i mean.

thanks! I didn't think of that as a reason for the direction of the runway, I was thinking that if it was straight forwards then any incoming munitions would go straight into the hangar which would not be good...

now I just need to finish the sprites and give it a name

[Nutcase]

Most interesting.
I like how you placed the runway.

Interested ti see how that runway might work in a fight though.

[vidboi]

okay finished the section work and given it a name


IFNS Indifference

the runway, well, in combat it can get blown up so the ship works on the principle of launch fighters and get out of there.

I'll finish organising the sprites and then post another add-on download

[vidboi]

ok the downloads up: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wjlwlnzblgw

only a few changes to the onther ships. once again it's an add-on for the sprites so don't overwrite the whole folder

[Nutcase]

You didn't happen to forget to include the fighters, did ya?

[vidboi]

yeah I just realised that myself...

here they are, and an updated carrier which has them in the right file locations

But anyway good ship. But do you have any plans on making ships not based off of the Tesla-Class Destroyer. But still good ship(s).

[vidboi]

sorry for the lack of replies, i've been on holiday and it seems a fair bit has changed around here while i was gone.

anyway, i've been working on something big...

Vulcan-Class Battleship


yeah, just slighty overpowered:

8x Ultra-Heavy HEAPEMAC (hull mounted)
4x Heavy Dual Artillery Turrets
16x Medium Dual Artillery Turrets (broadside mounted)
16x Medium SWORD Torpedo Turrets (broadside mounted)
12x Light SWORD Torpedo Launchers
14x Heavy Dual Flak Turrets (broadside mounted)

Allthough there's lots of repetition in the design, I think its rather good looking and doesn't look as odd as repetition normally does.
Looks like a real heavy hitter.

[Nutcase]

Holy flying genocide.



That be awesome.

[Corporal Jomn]

Its probably the realistic-looking sections that make the repitition not as odd.

[vidboi]

yeah, i didn't mean it to be so repetitive, i just kind of kept on adding artillery...

p.s. i really need to stop making ships that can one hit themselves, never mind other ships...

[Nutcase]

If your ships one hit themselves, either buff their armour, nerf their guns, add some other protection,
Or all of the above.

[vidboi]

yeah, but HEAPEMACs are meant to be like that - if you're lucky (or unlucky if you're the enemy) they'll do a huge amount of damage
