Normandy's Fleet v0.4

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!

Normandy's Fleet v0.4

Post by Normandy »

This is a so far incomplete set of ships that will soon consist of my fleet. I have hosted it on a 3rd party source since I think it downloads much faster than this ship database and I can modify it easily.

As of right now I have 8 sequences of ships complete. Note: I have not really gotten to much balancing, but I know that the Scimitar can take down a Leviathan with the proper use of it's weapons, but it can be taken down by an Athena and 3 or 4 Hestias. It's really fun to use it so it's pretty much the only ship I've done any real testing with.

Image

Here is the Aggressor class Frigate. It's useful for taking out key components before your main ships even reach the enemy.
Armament:
1x Railgun
4x Flak Cannon

Image

Here is the Foray class Destroyer sequence of ships. They basically are the Infantry of the Navy, good for just about anything. As far as armaments go they are pretty nicely armed. It can take down approximately 2 (?) Hestias unattended.
Armament:
(Mk. I)
2x Beamer
4x Flak Cannon
2x Particle Cannon
2x Blaster
(Mk. II)
Same as above, except the Beamers swivel.
(Mk. III)
1x Quad Blaster
2x Blaster
6x Flak Cannon
2x Particle Cannon
1x Gatling Blaster
(Mk. IV)
Same as the Mk. II, except the two Beamers are replaced by one stronger, longer-range swiveling Beamer.

Image

Here is the Scimitar class Battlecruiser. It has low health, but with it's deflectors it can literally be invulnerable. It has many railguns, just as many beamers, and one large MegaBeamer in the center that does high amounts of damage. Use the RailGuns to take out components such as deflectors, the ShockBeamers to deliver a concentrated blow of firepower when needed, and the MegaBeamer will deliver quite a lot of damage. I have also added thrusters on the side and back to make it easier to defeat. Though I did add boosters...
Armaments:
1x MegaBeamer (with increased range and damage)
2x ShockBeamer (with increased range and damage)
4x Beamer
4x Point Laser
6x Flak Cannon
8x Particle Cannon
4x Railgun
1x Quad Blaster
6x Gatling Pulse
1x Aegis Deflector
2x Deflector
2x 0.40 Thrusters (in back)
4x 0.15 Thrusters (on wing)
3x Booster

Image

The Soloner class PT Ship is basically a smaller version of the Foray.
Armaments:
(Mk. I)
3x Pulse Cannon (modified for better accuracy and range)
2x Flak Cannon
(Mk. II)
Same as above, except replace the back two Pulse Cannons with ScatterBeamerss.

Image

This is the Thespor class Frigate. It one of the alien-themed ships in my fleet so far. It's a rather strange ship, as the outside components boast a whopping 400 health (that's more than the Scimitar's 275 health!), but the inside segments have only 20. This leads to some interesting strategies for this little ship. I updated it to make it actually worth your RAM!
Armaments:
1x ScatterBeamer (modified for range, accuracy, and power).

Image

This is the Cosment class Cruiser. It is one of the alien-themed ships in my fleet. Basically it's Tachyon ownage. It has no beam weapons though, so watch out for high-pd ships!
Armaments:
1x MegaTachyon
2x Tachyon Cannon
2x Repeater Cannon
2x Point Laser
1x 0.20 Thruster (I think)

Image

This is the Goliath class Battleship. Imagine you're at your post as a gunner on a Scimitar. You're quietly whistling along when your radar goes crazy. You look up and see a gigantic ship with nearly twice the armaments of your puny little ship. You pee your pants. (Note in 0.4 i made it harder to kill from the front. Sure a blast straight down the middle will still kill it, but I made it harder to get that shot straight down the middle)
Armaments:
2x MegaBeamer (with increased range and damage)
4x ShockBeamer (with increased range and damage)
4x Beamer
4x Point Laser
6x Railgun
4x Missile Launcher (edited for shot deviation, damage, RoF, Clip Size)
4x Aegis Deflector
2x Booster

Image

The Martiner class Cruiser is the logical advancement in the Soloner->Foray chain. It's basically just a bigger version of the Foray and the Foray Mk. IV put together.
Armaments:
4x Beamer
1x Beamer (edited for range and damage)
8x Flak Cannon
8x Particle Cannon
1x Gatling Blaster
2x Blaster

I was relatively uninterested until I hit the Scimitar. That thing is all kinds of badass. I love the way it looks, and I'm sure it packs a punch too.

The Scimitar is quite nice. Makes all my ships look rather simplistic in design... *le sigh~*

I like the idea of the "Wrap around wings" on the alien ship, as well. Poor thing had better not fight a railgun user...

Yeah, one Athena broadside and it's all over. :twisted:

I know what you mean. I build something that I think looks pretty neat, then I come here and remember that I suck.

Woohoo! Updated! Made it easier to destroy Scimitar (thrusters), though it does pack quite much more of a punch (boosters), added new alien cruiser (Not sure how it performs...), made the Thespor worth the RAM, and a gigantic battleship that could probably take 3 leviathans head-on with a bit of creative weapons handling!

Gets sudden idea: post action shots!

Image

My personal favorite, the Goliath's missile launchers. Just look at it, beautiful isn't it? Though each rocket deals only a measly 10 damage, 180 rockets coming at you from all angles has a chance to do 1800 damage in total, around the ship, not just to one or two sections. Basically it uses the rocket deviation glitch with a wide arc so that the rocket launchers will still target ships around it.

Image

Here we see the Scimitar fighting against the ship I based it off (Athena) and it's sister ship (I forgot). Unfortunately I just missed the mega-beam firing.

Image

And here we see 4 (they cover eachother a bit) Thespors fighting bravely against a Cronus. They didn't survive long, but they did manage to deal quite a bit of damage. Beware the 400 health flying shrapnel! It hurts!

Image

Here we see my fleet engaging an enemy fleet. Unfortunately my fleet lost. In this battle there are:
3x Hestia
5x Proteus (1 is off-screen in the bottom-left. See the plasma cannons)
vs.
1x Foray
1x Foray Mk. IV
3x Soloner
1x Soloner Mk. II (Yes it's there, but one of it's scatterbeams got blown off and the other one is behind the other ship so you can't determine which one it is).[/img]

Love the look of the Foray, but since they only have 1 forward section, aren't thye pretty fragile?

Well they are, but the front section has a custom HP of 500.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought to make the shot devation to something really high as soon as I saw the missile launchers.

Yay! New version out! I accidentally deleted one of the new ships, so you only get 1 ship this version, the Martiner.

Image

And here it is in action, leading a small fleet against my yet-to-be released Space Station, the Razorback (pending design issues).

Sweet designs man, but they don't have enough ablative armor for my tastes.
At least the smaller class ships.

Other than that, they are very well designed.

Well there's a lack of ablative armor because I tried to make them feel more like utilitarian ships, like the in-game ships, rather than the big, beautiful, but bulky ships of people like Seraphim and such.

And wow! First post in 2 weeks on this thread!

Even though your designs are wildly different from my own in so many ways, Normandy, I actually very much like the style of your creations. For something so minimalist, the Martiner looks incredibly kick-ass. :D
