Right, so, I've been a little bored lately so decided to make a ship, this ship is the Hephastus construction frigate (may change the colours). But anyways, I might make a little story with this drone about him building an AI civilization to get back to his creators.

And guess what!? It'll have within it: pirates, aliens, data viruses and cyborg hedgehogs! Well, maybe not the hedgehogs.

Hercules industries presents: The Hephastus! four articulated arms, each tipped with a mining/construction beam. But while a construction bot it packs more firepower than a heavy corvette! It is designed to be adaptable for any task including mothership repair, battlefeild support and even armed reconnisance, That's right, it has a hanger for the brand new Iris recon bot!

But here's the best thing, this ship is controlled by an AI built to serve, so no worries about losses! Buy it now for only $15000!

Offence:
1 Cherk corps tesla cannon
2 Narana tech heavy duty machinegus

Defence:
Narana tech tungsten composite armour

Utility
3 Jemac energy soloutions ion thrusters
1 Jemac energy soloutions Defended power core
1 Cherk corps relay node communicator
1 Cherk corps concealed scanner relay
1 Hercules industries 'Iris' drone launcher

Nifty, did you give the arms drivers so they move on their own?

Yup, all the arms have two driver joints that mean you can have Different arms doing different things.

Well, your ship is extremely similar to the one I built sometime ago:

I am only seeing small similarities there, but there are several parts that look too similar for it to be coincidence.

Sorry Cheesy for stealing your design, I should have given credit. But anyways, I got my ship and ripped every piece of armour off it until I only had internals, then I completely remade the shell, coloured, stickered and armed it to be...
Spoiler!
The Camembert Class Destroyer!

It's french? Shouldn't the flag be white?

Cheap shots aside, this looks decent. The sprite mounted center, just fore of the engines looks rather awkward though, as does the mounting of the beam. But the coloring is decent, and the overall look is interesting, though not especially impressive.

Keep at it.
