Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.
HG Freighters will be arriving soon. Can't really think of a holy sounding hauling stuff name. I'll check on it tomorrow.

Note to "Sunrise" RPG users.
This ship will replace the HG Helios in the ship fleet. It is the proper ship for the role, as the Helios is a passenger carrier. After all, you can't repair ships with people. What sick faction can even do that? The darkness probably can, people are like vitamins.

It looks somewhat incapable of carrying that much stuff. Keep it up though, you're doing really well!

HG Prayer is complete
(Prayers carry words of worshipers to their god, so this name seems fair)
Note to cryo: A collection themed name is being considered for a mineral harvesting ship.

Thanks for the support. It is a freighter after all, so I intended on it looking really frail. With the core location and parenting relationships, it's about as durable as an HG 3 Principality. (which sucks)
If any portion of the little tentacle looking things are destroyed, it loses an engine with it. (And therefore all the good stuff that engines bring, like speed, maneuverability, and turning.)
Zalausai Edit: Also. . .
Currently Working on a mega-project to serve for the HG "Sunrise" RPG for the darkness.
It will be updated when this ship is done.
This one will feature fully articulated arms and opening claws..
It's still very incomplete and only one arm is configured, but here is a test screen.

Looks scary, kinda like the battleship I've been working on with the arms. Just an idea, I think that darkness ships should use drones more. Cuz then it's like a swarm of robot things latching onto you ship and infesting it like the darkness do.

Still working on the triggers, It'll have decorative sectionwork done last.
Suggested. . . smoother, more rounded, graceful. . . added to final design parameters

Well, I like the arms quite a bit, but those are too large compared to the body itself. Keep this concept but make it bit more like previous darkness vessels, sleeker as Calvin said it. And fighters or drones would not be bad idea either. I also assume this is not the final color of the vessel, no?
Just tossing in my five dollars.. or how that saying went? Was it 5 cents? Anyway.

I will increase the size of the body, that is just the undercarriage after all.
I havent changed the colors yet, that usually comes after all the sectionwork is done, but before weapons, thrusters, doodads, and other things.
Replacing fighter bay with demeters (the AI doesn't use modules as often in the tests). . . Added to final design parameters.
