Battleships are Forever! (A custom ship discussion and showcase topic.)

[AceDiamond]

There are a few problems (colors and alignment, mostly) but here's my rendition of the Pegasus-class Carrier from the Mobile Suit Gundam series (e.g. White Base).

Note that I used Gluon bolters for the missile launchers since those behave far more like the missile launchers in the show (as in one full salvo). Also I just layered the twin Mega Particle cannons on top of each other (2 beamers on each side)

Use the new multi-missile pod thingy, and set it to have a large burst and high deviation - instant gundam-style missile spam! works with the standard missile as well, but those missiles are larger...

Didn't know about the new version, I'll have to make a note to download it.

Also to the other person, I was using a reference photo (sadly could only find one from a 3/4 head-on angle). Again I know it's not perfect but it's the best I could do in between all my coursework and what have you. Thanks for the feedback though

Just some more stuff from me:

Thread for these ships on the Wyrdysm forums: http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3361

Be sure to check in regularly as it will be updated frequently.

Say, Aidan. Some of those ships look kinda like some of mine. Inspired?

Uh, now. Or at least they weren't supposed to.

After getting my previous efforts deservedly shredded on the wyrdysm forums, I've started redoing them:

Sickle Class:

A heavily armed corvette, intended to engage the enemy head on at relatively short range

Scythe Class:

A lighter variant of the Sickle class, armed with twin heavy lasers and dual railguns, intended for long range support

@Aidan: I've said it before, but I'll say it again here: I love those fleets you're working on at the moment

This was the last thing I made, before my life got so busy I didn't get time to sleep. Hopefully, I'll see what else is in the new version now, I don't like the mini-missile systems.
(speaking of which, I'm immensely happy the grid I made grid is the default one)

Thanks.

Here is a little preview of what I'm working on for the new Minifleet Project [http://www.wyrdysm.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3500].

[Please ignore the mirroring error on the middle ship, I've noticed and already fixed it.]

Width: 220 Meters
Height: 100 Meters

Manufacturer: Massakor Interstellar Transport Shipyards Inc.

The Hammerhead Class Armed Freighter is ugly, but maneuverable and fast. It is also well armed and heavily armored for a freighter, giving it a reputation for being hard to board among raiders and hard to maintain and arm for its owners. Freighter Captains operating on heavily used lines benefit most from the ship in its original configuration, while Captains traveling on lesser used or newer routes opt to sacrifice cargo space for weapons.


FT-A-202-H 'Hammerhead'

Hammerhead-H Class Armed Freighter

Length: 980 Meters
Width: 220 Meters
Height: 100 Meters

Manufacturer: Massakor Interstellar Transport Shipyards Inc.

This version of the Hammerhead Class Freighter trades cargo space for weaponry, allowing it to survive better in more dangerous routes.


SF-B-620 'Hornet'

Hornet Class Bomber

Length: 50 Meters
Width: 36 Meters
Height: 13 Meters

Manufacturer: Confederate Naval Defense Shipyards

Sponsors:
Makayev-Energia Space Systems (Strelka-267-N Heavy Rocket Pack)

Weapons/Point Defense
4x Particle Point Defense CIWS
2x Akan-72 HEX Railgun
2x Vulcan-203-AS Anti-Ship Missile
1x Akan-94 Autocannon


The Hornet Class Bomber is packed with anti-ship weaponry, which is often hidden inside its wings, making it one of the most feared bombers in the Confederacy. Many hostile captains have mistaken it for an underarmed light corvette due to its size, but few have survived to realize their mistake.

Man the new version has a lot of fantastic additions. I'm really going to have to amp up my abilities with the editor.

 

[gigastrike]

Geez th15. Your ship doubled my CPU usage.

@Ifinity squared: Very nicely built ships; Not sure about the colouring, but the construction is very nice.

Also, done some more work on an alternative fleet (with some very badly written fluff)

The second fleet (first is started above) based around a large human confederation, shattered by some great cataclysm, and blown back to the dark ages technologically: various different factions have, over the millennia, advanced back to a level of technology comparable to pre-cataclysm times, and encountered each other, resulting in conflict, as newly formed and differing social, economic and religious ideals clash.



The Terran Confederation
The remnants of the original confederation, they are the only faction with any pre-Cataclysm technology remaining. However, after the panic preceding the Cataclysm, society was rent by disorder and, later, opportunistic raids from secessionist systems on the rim of their remaining territory. The knowledge of the initial construction and maintenance of the mighty pre-Cataclysm behemoths was lost, and rational thought and experiment gave way to superstitious paranoia about technology, and most pre-Cataclysm technology is revered as a religious artefact, and it is only in moments of need that the full fleet is utilised, at other times, the ships sit in drydock, slowly deteriorating, maintained by mechanics who don;t understand the technology, and crewed by officers who don't know how to fully control them. The majority of the Terran Defense Fleet is composed of cheap, mass produced frigates and destroyers, armed with primitive weaponry, and lightly armoured, with only basic deflector technology for protection. What they lack in strenght, hover, they make up for in numbers.

Eurasian Systems LS17 Sloop

Armed with 2 missile launchers, a rapid fire cannon, and two point defense guns. A staple of the fleet, it is designed for close range support, overwhelming enemies' defenses with barrages of missiles in large numvers

Eurasian Systems LS24 Destroyer

Heavier than the LS17, this light destroyer hhas two large and (relatively) advanced fission reactors in offboard nacelles, powering the main deflectors and beam weapon (one of the few examples of energy weapons in TDF fleet). However, despite being the pinnacle of post-Cataclysm technology, it is still outperformed in every area by any other faction's comparable ship.
