Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

Post by Zalausai »

This is where I will post my future ships and future ship ideas.
Almost all of my ships will be using the Original SW and Kaelis SW sprites supplied in the ship maker repack.

My current idea was to do the seven deadly sins, but another user already did that. (Doogie12)
My new ideas are to make:

The seven virtues. (Also includes planned color scheme)
Patience, Temperance, Charity, Kindness, Diligence, Chastity, Humility
The seven deadly sin counterparts are as follows in the same order. The original color scheme that was planned is the same as the virtues.
Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Lust, Pride

The nine circles of hell. (Names taken from D&D) (Planned colors are earthen and fire tones, except the last three. Those will have ice tones instead of fire.)
Avernus, Dis, Minauros, Phlegethos, Stygia, Malbolge, Maladomini, Cania, Nessus

The nine choirs of angels. (Common Catholic Ranks)(Planned colors are Black, R, O, Y, G, B, I, V, then White)
Angel, Archangel, Principality, Powers, Virtues, Dominions, Thrones, Cherub, Seraph

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. (Names taken from Hexen II and many others)(Plus planned color scheme)
Death, Famine, Pestilence, War

My other ships will be here as well, but which set of these should I start working on first? These will be my first fleet sized project. No better way to learn.

It's generally expected that people wait until they have ships to post before starting a thread in the Custom Ships board. But eh, go with the Four Horsemen. SW sprites are pretty terrible, though. Shiny is best. But hey, just go with what works for you.

Well, I do have one ship that I have created since the old "Blitz Wing" ship.

This is S.c.a.l.p.e.l.
Special Conditions and Limitations Personally Eliminate Liability

A fast and basically unarmored ship that utilizes the sabot-cannon turret.

The sb4 and shp files are in the zip folder along with the custom sprites.


I will begin working on Famine immediately.
I appreciate your support.

I was going for a ribcage kinda look with it. I'm happy with the ribcage on the sides, but not so much with the main body.

Next three horsemen plans. Each will use a different sprite set. Famine has already utilized Shining.

Pestilence: Carrier (drones work pretty well as flies)(Planning on using Kaelis SW)

Death: Unknown as of yet. Accepting suggestions (Planning on using Splinter SW if I can ever find it)

War: Dreadnought (duh, what else)(Planning on using Original SW)

Heavy Chaingun Battlecarrier Pestilence has arrived.

I'm especially happy with the turret that it wields.

Zalausai Edit:
Depthing aesthetics issue with the small guns behind the main turret.

Some pretty original ideas here. Not the best section work but from a distance some of those look interesting. Just keep refining your designs and try a range of sprites to see what works well. For instance I get why you used those sprites for Pestilence but you might achieve similar curves with the bio sprites which, colored correctly, would work much better for the concept.

Not to be rude but the stock green looks ugly
but the idea makes it look good though and i suggest you deal something about that stock green color.
may i suggest dark green for the top sections and black-ish color for the sections under.
I agree with JWA also.

I appreciate the feedback. I will work on fixing up Pestilence's colors after Death is completed.

As for the bio sprites. Did you mean the ones that look like bones, teeth, etc?

I've only been playing for less than a month. Things should improve

All ships are available for download in their respective posts.
Anyone is welcome to refine them if they like. Just give credit to me in the post when uploading them as your own.
