The Juggernaught

Hey, first ship here, hope you guys like it, no back story on it, but think of it as a super destroyer, it designed in such a way that makes it extremly hard to kill, although, that could only be due to the fact the HP is set to 5000, and has enough point defence that next to nothing but beams can get to it, although, there is a major weak point, will release if theres enough want, and the main gun on it is a beam cannon capable of taking out a leviathan in one hit if aimed properly, but you need to be VERY lucky, and it will still take the entire beam cycle to do.

also, next version will have those two glowing bits in the front forks fade in as the main cannon charges up, also, they will act as a shield for the weak point, but only if the cannon is fully charged, if its not, the weak point is open, due to the cannons needing to cool

Kind of weapon heavy, don't you think? When more then half of your ship is covered in weapons, it may be time to lighten up on them a bit.

It's also pretty small for a ship named "Juggernaut"

Also, red and teal? Not really great friends in the color combination game.

hehe, wasn't thinking when I did the colours, and yes its weapon heavy, but a I said, super destroyer, I guess I can get rid of most of the flak guns and probaly 60% of the missiles, and its named not for the size, but for the strength

[EDIT]

theres the new one

hopefuly a better colour scheme, and a different weapon setup, hopefuly this time not so overloaded

Eyeburn agh!!!

As for the ship it has a OK decent shape the shape would need alot of refinement, and you do know with a click of ~(tilde) and Z you can get custom sections and whatnot...
As for the color the aegis and weapons. wth is up with all that damn weapon spam you know you can make a custom weapon do the work of 10 with ease? and the blue aegis you placed correctly... Though i don't like the location of the white aegis don't look so good. You got the parenting right for one though i think i see a flaw or 2 in the ship.

And welcome to the forums.

ya, noticed that flaw to, just edited it again, , but ya, I always do like to take care in the parenting, but I'm now cutting down on the weapon spam, I think I will black out the real aegis' on the rear

[EDIT]

there, took you suggestions into account, heres the changes

Much better though color variation would be nice, and when you select a weapon click on the edit tab and you can change your weapons uctions but don't make them horrificly wank unless its like a super laser or whatnot.

As for the weapons i really don't like the placement of the vulcan cannon. And have you tryed looking at the custom sections? They can really help with ship design.

yep, have looked into there, made this befor I did though, and I'm using stock weapon settings, except for the super beam, wich I brought the reload time way up, layed a couple of beams for a nice effect, and made it last 4 seconds and capable of tearing through an arm of a leviathan with ease, and the rockets had their range increased to 1250

I've noticed that you're only using sections from default Group 1.

Is this intentional or are you not already aware of the access to Section Group Arrange?

nope, wasn't intentional, I found out about the group arange after this

very, very slightly overarmed, but this ship would still make an awesome Battleship. Nice Work!
