Warbirds ships
Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:24 am
So here are my first ships (yeah already 8 ships). I updated them a lot in the past few days so they are now using HorseMonsters weapon sprites which fit the the section sprites really good i think.
*Caution story alert!* First of all my ships are the vessels of a cyborg colony which is on a crusade back to their old homeworlds.
In the year 2530 a team of scientists invented a working unit of a human brain and a AI unit. Persons which were connected to an AI and communicated with it on a high level told them it would be an enlightenment. The scientist were so amazed that all of them soon also had an AI unit connected to their brains. These people now called themselves Cyborgs as they were half human half machine. However after they published their invention many people joined them soon to also become cyborgs, everything was looking good until various persons started spreading rumors about the cyborgs, they told these half robots would start taking over the planet governments. Very soon after these first rumors people started attacking cyborgs in public. Even the governments were starting to arrest cyborgs. The cyborgs now started to understand that they were no more welcome in their old homeworlds and left them.
After months of travel they found a large asteroid field on the edge of habitated space. They built a large space station of the resources they found in the asteroids and were starting to discover the spiritual ways of live. They were meditating a lot and became a closed community. It seemed to them as if they found peace and a safe live.
But suddenly it changed. The people of a nearby colony noticed the space station hidden in the asteroid field and soon they feared the cyborgs were planning an assault and building warships in that space station, so their militia was sending a cargo ship to the cyborg colony. When the cyborgs noticed the contact on their scanners they got nervous but after a transmission from the captain of the ship who told he would want to trade with them the cyborgs turned the defense systems and shields off and the cargo ship docked to the station. Seconds later the ship exploded in a huge ball of fire. It was a trap. The explosion killed almost 1500 cyborgs, one of them was their spiritual leader.
After this event the cyborgs started building a large fleet of high tech ships to take revenge. 6 monts after the assault on the space station a cyborg destroyer group left warp space directly above the colony of humans which attacked them and opened fire.
The cyborgs are now hungry for revenge and won't stop until they reached their homeworlds to every human they will find.
*Story end*
So here are the ships, tell me what you think of them and what i could do better
