@WarStalkeR:
Which ship parts is the large ship made from?
The bottom one is a Hammerhead with a Grinder's Laser and two Helixes stuck in it, the middle one is a Cruiser and a Flora, but I don't recognize anything about the top ship except for the left and right BigBrother parts.
Sunspot, two Carriers, two Big Brothers, two Right Hooks and pack of Blowfishes :)

@Uomoz:
are these ships sprites will be any use to you?
Also, if you want to make them non-boardable, just set their crew amount to 200000 and higher :)

Nah, they don't fit the current Scourge style, but thanks nonetheless (they are lore-friendly and use mostly lowtech vanilla ships)! Yeah that's pretty much the tip that arciblade gave to me via PM! ;)

Uomoz, but you will certainly create something of battleship size, right?

Yeah, but that's not how the Scourge works. Scourge ships are super cheap and numerous, they don't rely on the strenght of a single ship but the power of the Swarm.

Nonetheless there are battleship class ships .

They very hardly can be called battlecruisers, more like heavy cruisers...

The Scourge MAY have a SINGLE bigger ship then that.

But it's one.

It flies alone.

It doesn't know fear.

I better hope infestation mechanics will come to this game soon :D

Would love to see a battle with a aurora fleet against the scourge, only to have them get infested by the scourge ;D

Question:
Will the little swarmers at some point be made to act similar to actual fighters or will they forever be reskinned missiles?

No idea whether or not that is possible or if you even tried, but it'd make them a lot more interesting if they tried to shoot things first instead of outright suiciding into them.
Because if their entire purpose is to be kamikaze attackers, it'd make way more sense to change their sprite to simple spores or such - why would the scourge create complex swarmers in the shape of small ships if all they do is ram into enemies and explode? A swarm of biological lifeforms would surely pick a way simpler design for such a task.




That enforcer looks interesting.
It should probably get the red-ish color of the other scourge ships instead of that brown, though.
