Bien Tries Getting The Hang of Shipbuilding Again

Post by bien4500 »

So, it's been a long time since I've built ships. This is my latest:

And this was done around March last year, I think.

So I guessed, why not post them here, as I'm thinking of going online again.

That second one...you've definitely captured the definitive Terran behemoth shape. Nice work.

I've messed around with the first one.

UEN FF-031 'Javelin' Class Missile Frigate.

The Javelin was designed to be a fast-moving long-ranged missile platform to support small groups of Shortsword Frigates. Due to recent budget cuts, the Javelin was converted into a mid-to-long range warship and extra armor plating was added to the front and sides of the bow to increase its odds of survival against Altairian penetrator weapons. This addition sacrificed the Javelin's exceptional speed and maneuverability, assets that would have contributed more to its survivability than extra armor.

5x PT-62 General Electric Space Systems Plasma Torch Drives

5x PC-3 Rainstorm Pulse Cannon
1x ML-4 Archangel Missile Battery (4 Launchers)

UEN FF-051 'Shortsword' Class Light Frigate

The Shortsword is the backbone of the United Earth Navy's Planetary Defense Force. It combines high-tech weaponry with a small profile and high speed. These warships were designed to operate in groups of four with long-range support to harass enemy formations while the larger Broadswords and Claymores maneuvered to deliver the full force of their broadside firepower.

6x PD-5 Kite Point Defense Cannon
3x PC-3 Rainstorm Pulse Cannon
2x PC-10 Hailstone Pulse Cannon

I have to say, I very much like the frigates, especially the last one.

I like them to, although that middle section stands out too much. Don't worry, I have trouble with it too. Use a different one maybe?

Been working on this. It's basically a gun with engines and a bridge.

Also, that round center section is supposed to represent a bridge or observation tower.

The latest version looks highly interesting, especially the wing section but to me it feels like its lacking some highlight like the shortswords front glow, ah nvm i have no idea of shipbuilding anyway, but keep going, i like your ships.
