War For The Universe: Troglen Fleet [WIP]

[Isis]

The Troglen

Spoiler!

A race hailing from the icy caves of Zerus Major, the Troglen have an extreme aversion to light. They are at odds with most other factions, due to their secret desire to extinguish all light. Expeditions to the Zerus system originally thought them to be corona-dwellers, due to their ships being stationed in the corona of Zerus Minor, hottest star in it's quadrant. This theory was invalidated when Zerus Minor was completely extinguished.
All Troglen are ruled by the Supreme Patriarch, who is their actual father. Through advanced cloning techniques, the Patriarch donates half of his DNA to all Troglen. In return, they must dedicate one half of their lives to him. Usually they dedicate wholly, due to respect for their Patriarch
No one has ever seen a Troglen outside their protective bodysuits, and lived to tell the tale. Many xenobiologists theorize that they are silicon-based, due to their slow metabolisms and ability to survive extremely cold temperatures.

Asthetics

Spoiler!

Troglen corvettes and larger posses an advanced heat shield in the rear. However, these shields make it nearly impossible to turn without nose-mounted thrusters. Most weapons are unable to rotate or mounted on larger turrets.

Ships
Fighters
F-7 "Vanadium" Interceptor

Description: Realizing the pressing need for a fast, manuverable interceptor, the Roptar Skunkworks developed what many call the "Spacebrick". It is fast, though. {Carrier-launched}
HP:125
Speed:5
Turning Rate:3
Acceleration:1
Weapons
1x L.P.E. Blaster
Patrol Boats
P-1 "Cupernichel" Patrol Boat

Description: The Cupernichel is a high-speed patrol boat for interstellar ops. It is not capable of stellar ops due to it's lack of heat shielding.
HP:175
Speed:3.50
Turning Rate:0.75
Acceleration:0.1
Weapons
2x L.P.E. Blasters
2x Gravity Impulse Debris Nullifiers
Corvettes
A-3 "Sprawl" Corvette

Description: The Sprawl is one of the most common ships in the Troglen fleet. Despite it's small size, it still possesses a heat shield for stellar operations.
HP:450
Speed:1.75
Turning Rate:0.1(+.45 for each thruster)
Acceleration:0.03
Weapons
2x B.O.O.M. auto-cannons

You've been sneaking updates ain't ya?
inform us if your going to add new here or your thread may go to the 2nd Page

The last two resemble beam cannon satellites. Do they fold up when moving?

No, the heat shields cannot fold, or else all the personell would be on fire.
I'm working on a carrier/fighter combo.

/\ Usually carriers carry fighters so how are you gonna do that?

*facepalm* I mean, a carrier and a fighter that work together.

[Isis]

Carrier and fighter posted!

You definitely need to rethink the sectionwork and shape on the larger ships.
Also, needs more sections at the centerline to avoid the line down the middle splitting the ship into half syndrome.

[CryoSleep]

Wait if you want to Darken all then why is your colorscheme have yellow why not red brown instead it will fit the name Trogleen and it's also one of the Dark colors.

[R0ni]

Lol. Nice little brick fighter. Quite an lot of HP I say, but I suppose with just one gun it is kk (o. o )?

[Zalausai]

Is you're faction inspired by troglodytes in any way?

[Isis]

Wait if you want to Darken all then why is your colorscheme have yellow why not red brown instead it will fit the name Trogleen and it's also one of the Dark colors.

Well, it's hard to see color with sonar, or whatever they use instead of eyes. Plus, I was going for an "Industrial" motif, and yellow is a nice color.

[calvin1211]

There's nothing wrong with the colourscheme, main problem is sectionwork.

[Isis]

OP-Now with 100% more faction standings.

[Zalausai]

I have figured out how to do simple cloaking for you as promised.

This is a mini-tutorial.

In the ship maker, there is are little buttons in the upper left side of the screen labeled "edit" and "eff".

Input these commands into the "edit" button for each section. (with the section selected)

Trigger on action 1: Key pressed , (comma) self
Trigger off action 1: Key pressed , (period) self
Mode: Fade

Input these commands for the "eff" button for each section.

Effect type: Alpha fade
Alpha: 1
Hi Delay: 30
Lo Delay: 30


With these settings, the sections (s) will fade out when the comma key (,) is pressed. It will take 1 second to fully disappear, then you can press period to lock in into the invisible state. Press comma again to have it return to normal. Don't forget to press period once again to lock it back into the visible mode.
