A uh, really big ship?

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

A uh, really big ship?

Post by Kazuael »

This is my first post here so I thought I'd start with something interesting.

Image

I got kinda bored this previous weekend and tried to make a ship taking up the entire ship editor using mostly normal sized parts, but I sorta failed and only got to the width of the ship editor and only roughly 1/3rd of the height. The tiny little pirate raider and the alien dreadnought are also depicted for scale comparison.

As unrealistic as this would be in real space combat, I always thought space battles would be cooler if battleships traded massive broadsides with each other, so that's what this guy does. Unfortunately, it dwarfs all of the other ships in the game so badly that it can't really bring its guns to bear that well, not to mention it's quite ridiculously hard to kill, so it doesn't have much to do unless I pit it against itself or until I build it a sparring buddy. Yes, it's highly overpowered, but it's just for kicks. Also, the aegis deflectors are only there because I wanted it to be glowy, the ones in the back kinda don't do a whole lot of real protecting.

Now that I'm done with the rather long description, comments, criticisms, and all else are welcome.

No matter how unbalanced that is, I am still of the opinion that that is a *very* cool ship.

TH15 *is* looking for HUGE ships/spacestations.... :D Maybe with a bit of modding/balancing?

EDIT: BTW, is this uploaded? I'd love to toy around with it.

I wasn't sure if anyone wanted it so I didn't upload it yet.

You can ignore the .shp also named Hierarch in the ship database. I accidently uploaded that one before I realized I had to rar the two together anyway because the .sb2 was 250kb

The ship is built extending from the center down the length of the ship and then outward, so it's relatively easy to change parts, especially on the exterior, but it also makes it so you have to dig through the layers when you're trying to kill it. Also, it takes a rather long time to save and import.

Feel free to toy with it however much you want to.

He wins one internet, just one. It might be a good ship for another version of leviathan.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone, I was afraid I was going to get throttled for the sheer overpoweredness of it.

I actually had a couple of older ships that were equally as large but the newer versions of ship builder refused to load them so I think I might have gotten rid of them.

Starting work on another one just for kicks, hopefully this time it'll be more balanced. Slightly.

Well, if its one thing that helps a first post, its a ship that even makes raycav say "woah" :) . Balance doesn't really matter, if its that big and awesome looking, its a fun to have ship. Novelty ships are still ships after all :).

Aha, I found my old ships. Unfortunately I no longer have the blueprints, but here's a screenshot of all three of my really big ships together.

Image

They're in order of newest to oldest, going from left to right.

Yes, they are all horribly overpowered, especially the middle one. I made it duke it out with itself once and it took 20 minutes for one to kill the other, and that was with me manually targeting the demeters and stuff. Also, my friends tell me the middle one looks kinda like a badger at the bottom/front of the ship.

The new ship I'm building might be delayed a bit because I'm getting ready to move into UCLA, so I'm taking some time to buy dorm stuffs and things, but hopefully I'll have it done by the end of this weekend.

Comments and stuff are welcome again, thanks in advance guys.

EDIT: Sorry if it's a bit hard to tell what's on the ships, Photobucket likes to resize my 1024x768 pics to 800x600 for some reason.

I really only like the one on the left, as it's the only one I actually planned out in advance what I was going to build. The other two ships I just sorta started slapping pieces together and then threw guns all over them when I finished, but I'm glad you like them, makes me feel like I'm not horribly wasting my time building silly things =P.
