Photobucket is kind of an annoyance most of the time.

You can try other Image Hosting Sites, like:

http://postimage.org/
http://tinypic.com/

Very easy to use and fast.

I prefer to use Photobucket though. It hasn't given me problems in the past, unlike imageshack. But I will check out the two other image-hosting sites you recommend.

Anyhoo. I've uploaded these two ships to my old imageshack account:


Gadeirus-class Cruiser Length: 238m  / Berth: 70m
No description... yet

I designed the Gadeirus after discussing the appearance of Antediluvian ships with Uomoz. We agreed that they looked too much alike. That's why this cruiser has a distinctly different look.




Calypso-class Orbital Colony Length: 300m  / Berth: 269m
Named for Atlas' seclusive daughter. The Calypso is a mysterious enigma, much like the culture of Cerulean City. A taste of what Cerulean City might look like is brought forth by the appearance of these massive orbital colonies. The Calypso class acts as a city district, constructed in low orbit. Bringing the Antedeluvians closer to the heavens. The choice that lead to the construction of these massive sky-cities was not one of dreams and philosophy. Instead it was simply logistically more efficient to have large supplies of personel and resources in low orbit.

Scale comparison:


Oh yes, the Calypso is the first "capital" ship for the faction. Open up the champagne bottles, lads!

I'd sure appreciate some feedback on the Calypso! Negative or positive... anything goes.


[edit]
Upgrading the Calypso design. I want it to be a bit bigger, as far as the docking arms go. It will even have a half-finished Azores frigate docked with it.

Latest version of the Calypso.

@Erick: I just noticed that your male Antediluvian aquatic suit helmets have no tubes, but the female ones do. I guess male Antediluvians are too awesome to need to breathe?

Uhh. They've evolved gills? No wait... Their suits are bulkier and have their tubing integated into the fabric. There, that's a sensible explanation. 

Whatever happened with artistic choice overwrites realism?

YES! I've managed to add the ASV prefix to ships in the campaign. It finally works!

I had to remove this line:
   "description":"No description yet.",

and add this instead:
   "shipNamePrefix":"ASV",

You don't have to remove the description....
You could've added the shipnameprefix line directly underneath that line

I had it above that line, as '5th' line. That did not work. Removing the description line solved it.

FYI: Line numbers, and in fact all whitespace characters, are irrelevant with the JSON format. Ordering is irrelevant for objects {}, but not for arrays [].

Right. I just entered it into the format on the 5th line, as instructed. And for some reason it did not work. It did work after I removed the    "description":"No description yet.",    line.

Works for me.

Get Dev04 here!

Has several improvements over the last version. Includes the Calypso in a test mission, and in the campaign.

[Erick Doe]

In an effort to further balance the Antediluvians with vanilla and Uomoz's Corvus factions, I have:

-lowered the armor rating all of frigates and some destroyers slightly
-made all Atlantean ships a fair bit slower
-increased the prices of all Atlantean ships (a frigate that used to cost 3000-3500 now costs roughly 4000-5500)
-decreased the flux dissipation by roughly 50% on all ships. Increased the maximum flux by roughly 10 - 20% (slightly bigger flux reserve to draw from, much more time to regenerate)
-added basic torpedo launchers to several ships, in advent of custom weapons
-modified the folder structure to make it easier to integrate with Uomoz's Corvus

[Erick Doe]

Should I design a dedicated torpedo ship?

Yes please, me want

Good God the dutch seem to swarm to this game like flies to honey... what is this madness!?
