oh my god that is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

[DarkStar076]

Also, I can't believe that "glowing ball in the middle" idea totally worked:

Wow, that looks awesome

[CrashToDesktop]

How did you do that?  Is it in the sprite or coded in?  It looks epic!

[Psiyon]

Nothing special, just an engine glow that uses only the width setting:

Code

   {
      "angle": -180.0,
      "contrailSize": 0,
      "length": 0,
      "location": [
        8.5,
        -0.0
      ],
      "style": "HIGH_TECH",
      "width": 54.0
    }

[CrashToDesktop]

Nice!  You have an amazing sense of ingenuity.

wheeeeeee third ship: The Flanker



Similar to the Valiant in size and design, but this vessel sports two launch bays. Try not to get this thing caught in the middle of a firefight, as its low flux capacity will probably get it killed.

[Sunfire]

god your ships are so good

[DarkStar076]

Where does he get those wonderful toys

No seriously, care to share the secret of your resources ?

[Psiyon]

The ships are half-kitbash, half-painted. It's not about finding the right ship component for me, but rather assembling parts in a way that roughly resembles the final ship that I want to make. Once that is done, I sort of fill in the blanks by painting in whatever needs to be painted in. It takes a little longer than I would like, but the end result is pretty nice, I feel.

but the end result is pretty nice, I feel.

Indeed it is

All the ships i build are pure kitbash - every time i try to paint in the gaps it looks "fake"
I was hoping to learn a few trade secrets.

got my ship into action and it has 18 large mounts so it basically wrecks anything that isn't a oort fort or omega.

[DarkStar076]

In other words, if you find yourself fighting against one of those things - it would be poor tactical judgement to take it head on.

What about the flanks and rear Cordacc - how many weapons are protecting it from those directions ?
(Or is there a small exhaust port that a plucky fighter pilot can drop a torpedo down ?)

[Cordacc]

the back is partially protected by 3 small ballistics on the left and right, and 2 small anti fighter missile hardpoints.

Pouncer Dedicated Bomber:

Armament; x4 Cluster Bomb Bay, x1 Minigun


Predator Missile Bomber Drone:

[Sunfire]

so soldier, is your faction going to have larger ships? or just small ones and fighters?
