Note of curiousity; unless all the ships will be using hidden turrets, those capital ships, along with any other ships, will need to have mounting hardpoints in 3 uniform sizes....
Alternatively, we could take the route of all hidden turrets, making it look like the guns are firing from what would effectively be bunkers along the ship's hull

I would prefer visible turrets, makes it easier to equip them in-game.

But its also possible to make a mod that uses only hidden weapons, I have no problem with it. Not sure if it will look good though.

                         Hocus-pocus!

Ta-dum:

Two cruiser variants:


And a destroyer:

Not sure if the game allows more than one ship of the same class, but I just liked the silvery thing too much to scrap it.

Oh my, nice!

I don't think that will be a problem, we'll just create two classes for them that are kinda similar.

Or maybe we can have their id be different but show their name in-game as the same, don't know if that will work but we can try.

i made a mistake the bigger images like the 1000x1000 they make good capital ships the the smaller one make nice destroyers or a larger Frigate.

A paragon is only 330 by 364 though. No worries, we can always shrink them down.

SonicRaptor has bin making progress, don't worry. I've seen the ships in a test mission, there was just a problem with them auto-retreating.

The problem can be solved in two was, the good way includes redoing the turrets in a fashion that is more in line with the known layouts of ships in their intended size class.

Don't worry you'll see them eventually. I'll go poke SonicRaptor about it for you.

I hope the turrets stay hidden, or custom weapons are implemented. Massive case of nomegusta thinking of that Solar Empire flagship with huge-ass large mount turret strewn all over it. Alternatively, hidden turrets as I said earlier.  :)

They were not hidden, and it looked pretty good. Still such things should be easily changeable.
