Alright, nothing much to be said, but I did finish transcribing the two cruiser designs I came up with, for the Tartarus and Scylla.  This should cover all or nearly all of SHI's combat craft, depending on whether or not I decide the Norn is necessary (it's probably not) or I think up something cool for it.

Spoiler

Two dots indicate small mounts, three is medium, four is large.

For the Tartarus I wanted to give her a more classic naval look so gave her a gun deck down the middle.  The Scylla I'm not really sure what I was thinking.

Well, now I just need to make them ships I guess.

If animation isn´t working please try open it directly.

Very much just a work in progress for a small faction mod. A small Zork scout ship next to an Onslaught.

@Ravendarke: I think I will have died of old age before you finish your faction, due to the amount of detail you add to everything.
Nice work though.

@Erick Doe: How do you control that ship? text commands?

Your spaceship is flying towards Corvus VI. A pirate frigate is on your tail and is gaining on you. What do you do?

> turn west

You can't go that direction. You are in space.

> turn left

You turn left. The pirate frigate is closing in. What do you do?

> hit the breaks

You slow down to a stop, a move the pirate frigate did not anticipate. He crashes into the side of your ship. An alarm goes off and you notice a drop in oxygen levels. Smoke is coming from below the cockpit door. What do you do?

> eject

You run to the nearest escape pod and barely escape the life-ending destruction of your ship. As you drift among dead crewmembers and torn hull pieces you feel shame, as a captain should always be the last one to leave his ship. Coward.

Well so far I have almost 3 ships done... and as implied before, this faction doesnt need exactly tens of ships, rather then highly specialized ships... tbh I don´t suppose there will be more then 8 ships (while actualy it takes less time to create each new ship due to assets from previous and improvements in workflow) and furthermore most of them cannot be released before 0.60.. not to mention I think there is a loooot of time till retail release of the game, don´t you think?

In other words, starsector isn´t going to run anywhere, so why rush?

Not to mention I am trying few new things and learning new methods while extending my portfolio with this.

Go ahead and click on the Zorg Drone to download a mini-mod that allows you to try out the ship.  



Still a work in progress. The special weapons on the Zorg ships will feature a unique sound and voice clip in the future. This is just a frigate, of course.

[Gotcha!]

Zorg? A couple posts before you said Zork. Now my text based adventure doesn't make sense at all.

Also, what is up with all the blacky darkness alluvasudden? I think your previous sprite is much, much better.

Yeah i agree, i likes the first ship style alot, it also fits with the vanila style

Well, go and give the link below a try and tell me what you think. I kind of like the way the darker style looks ingame:

Also, behold the Disruptor Ray.

Agreed with the others, the old drone was better than the new one. Maybe a bit too light but still better than the other one. BTW, it don't have engines? And if that thing is supposed to be a frigate, i expect the capital ship to make Starsector crash

MShadowy, was the Tartarus based on the Aurora? They look pretty similar.

I imagine hes "replicating" the Borg feel so, engines are not included

damnit, i was writing my message then the warning that someone posted meanwhile popped up.
and this message was saying the same thing as you XD

but yeah, zork, zorg, borg. borg ship are also pretty dark so i can see the change in the color palette

[Erick Doe]

Yes. I am going for a Borg / Xenon look.

[Gotcha!]

The Xenon have awesome ships indeed. Needs more spikey antennas though!
