X-Fleet (The Worst)

Post by Unn4m3D »

The experimental prototypes of the post apocalyptic era. These ships were primarily driven only by AAI (Advance Artificial Intelligence) of the new council. After 5 years of development and rebuilding, the eXperimental fleet has been finished. The primary goal of this fleet is to work as a bounty hunter for the new found alliance of the New Council. To eradicate any opposition of the alliance.

Undisclosed Report of Gen. Stark

. . .The alliance only produced one fleet for unknown reasons. But until now the X-Fleet has acquired
upgrades and AAI Updates for the last 2 decades.
The Fleet is self-sufficient, and self-repairing.
It only comes to port every year to resupply food and water for one crew, The Admiral.
For such a powerful fleet, there is one draw back, The anti-matter weapon of the main battleship (X-20)
is dangerous and nothing has been done to address this matter. 2 admirals
disintegrated just
after test firing the Anti-matter weapon, for this sole reason is probably why there is only one fleet.
The current Admiral of the fleet is Admiral Ex.
Decorated as he is, sinister is his existence in the fleet.
As per record of over 100 missions, He has fired the Anti-matter weapon over countless times.
disintegrating his targets, whole fleets and planets that they may inhabit.
Rumors says that he is Nonhuman. Another AI. Bionic . . .


Hope You Guys Like It !

I know this is the worst ship ya'll have seen.
Worst sectioning, parenting, and depth.
Though comments and criticisms are welcome.

All your ships (except maybe the first) are in desperate need of shading. That means that you need to change the brightness of some of the sections so that they are darker, or brigther, than the surrounding sections. This basically creates a lighting affect on the ship, which makes it look realistic.

Ender;

The first ship is composed of DSTech sections, which can be downloaded here.

The rest are all made of Shiny sections.
The first shiny pack is here and the second pack is here.

Re: X-Fleet (New Ships Have Arrived)

Post by Unn4m3D »

Okay so Im back from being TEMP-BANNED ( And YES I have learned from my mistakes thanks to our mods )
Well Im going to post now the new ships ( W/C by definition is a useful/valuable content ? ) where I have sort of learned a few things from. So is this still considered necro-ing ? ( 16. Thread necromancy :
Do not post in threads that are more than a month old, unless you are the thread creator and have something valuable to add. )
Well I am the Thread Creator and this valuable to me, and probably to you (Whoever might be reading this ) So lets cut to the chase !

The X-Fleet has acquired 2 new ships to replace the old X-10 Prototype MK III; Because the admiral doesn't take POWs.
New X-10 Heavy Transport
New X-10 Heavy Transport
This is the new X-10 Heavy Transport MK VI
Main Escort Ship of the X-40 THRILS MK IIV
Armaments ::
4x Standard X-Fleet Double Proton Cannons
2x Modified Chain Guns
1x Modified Anti-Matter Energy Beam Weapon; Proton Cannon

Power Plant ::
1x 3-way Short Bow X-Fleet Turbines

New X-40 Heavy Artillery Support
New X-40 Heavy Artillery Support
This is the the new X-40 THRILS ( Tactical Heavy Railed Light Striker )
Heavy Artillery Support of the X-Fleet
Armaments ::
1x Modified Anti-Matter Energy Beam Weapon; Over Charged and Radioactively Accelerated Hyper Proton Cannon
2x Modified X-10 Proton Dual Cannons
4x Standard X-Fleet Double Proton Cannons
10x Experimental Short Range Bombardment weapon; Anti-Ambush defense system; Proton Reactor/Turbine Defense.

Power Plant ::
1x Modified 3-way Long Bow X-Fleet Turbines


The new X-10, so called Heavy Transport, is the main escort ship of the X-40 THRILS, Both of which employ the new active repair coating, unlike the passive armor white coating of the Fleet.
The X-40 THRILS is an all-around Long Range Artillery vessel, which uses the newest and deadlier version of the
" Desolator " ( Anti-Matter Energy Beam Weapon of the X-20 ) its average power output is 290% of that of the " Desolator ", The other 10% goes out to the vessel's other weapons systems. Its reactors are covered with special metal in which hides the heat of the reactors and turbines from Infrared seeking weapons, it is also lined up with broadside firing Bombardment weapons against any ambush this means that the X-40 is not weak against short-medium dogfights, not to mention its top-of-the-line escort ship (X-10) as its 'Bouncers'. The X-Fleet has acquired 5 X-40 THRILSs and 10 X-10 HTs, thus it was called " THE PRIDE " of the X-FLEET, and of course Admiral Ex, who designed it himself.

ED 1 :: Forgot to mention that the X-40 THRILS was inspired from the game " Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity " from the Novalith Cannon of the TECs . .

The X-10 is a tad blocky and squared. Not that this is inherently bad, but in this particular case it doesn't really look good. If you can soften up some of the more protruding angles I think it may help the ship a lot overall.

The X-40 has too much repetition of sections in my humble opinion. It would serve the design well to break up some of the repetition a little better. Also, those braces connecting the long struts in the front really stand out, as if they were just stuck on. Better integration of sections would help.
Lastly, the shading discrepancies are a bit funny looking. You seem to have a bright front and a really dark back. This can be alright if it's well expressed in the overall shape of the ship, but here, it isn't.

On the whole, these are decent ships. I think your designs would benefit heavily if you branched out from the DST sections just a bit. It would add a little more flair and creativity to what is a relatively good foundation of skills.

Welcome back.

Pretty much all of Kaelis' work, the SW style as well as the Shiny, are all excellent.

So . . I'm back with a replacement to the X-30.
New X-30 Tiger Shark
New X-30 Tiger Shark
This is the new X-30 Tiger Shark MK VIII
The new Attack and Escort Frigate of the X-Fleet
Armaments ::
4x Modified X-Fleet Multitude Missile Launchers
2x Vulcan Cannons
1x Modified X-Fleet "Desolator"

Power Plant ::
1x 3-way Short Bow X-Fleet Turbines


The new X-30 Tiger Shark exploits the usage of both passive armor and active armor technology, This allows the Tiger Shark to encounter heavily armed vessels with less risk of possible permanent damage. This also leaves the Tiger Shark with no anti projectile defense system, which would encourage its enemies to attack it. With this in hand the Tiger Shark will have to tank almost all attacks, thanks to its technology, IT WILL.

Please welcome the new X-0 Light Fighter Class.

X-0 Light Fighter Class
X-0 Light Fighter Class

The new backbone of the X-Fleet
Armaments ::
2x Burst Chain Guns
2x Modified X-Fleet Single Proton Cannons

Power Plant ::
2x Cut Short Bow X-Fleet Turbines



The new X-0 Light Fighter Class is named after its main proton cannons. In squadrons of 5 these little fishes can be annoying, but in a swarm of 30, these fishes turn into piranhas, a frenzied swarm that swallows battleship-sized ships and slowly digest the unlucky vessel with heavy bombardment of protons and uranium bullets, this is the razor sharp backbone of the X-FLEET.

The new X-30 looks a bit, well, blobby. Which is to say that, it's there, and that looks fine, but there doesn't seem to be much form or function to it. It needs more structure so that it doesn't just seem like a slapped-together junk-pile. I do mean that last bit literally, please don't take offense.

The X-0 fighter suffers from much the same problem. It's there, but what does it do? Also, it looks a tad unfinished, I think because you have some finer sections sticking off the front while the rest is composed of larger, meatier sections.

Do you see what I'm talking about?
