Yes I know my faction needs custom turret mounts, for some reason it's proving annoyingly difficult to design good looking ones.

The design is interesting, very retro arcade. How did you achieve the mottled blue exterior?

Do they really? You've done a good job integrating the vanilla ones there in my opinion, and most of them will be filled with guns most of the time anyway  Excellent art as usual, btw.  I'm also interested to know if you have a specific technique for texturing the hulls like that.

[Gotcha!]

A work of art, truly.
I wouldn't think too much about the turret mounts either. They look fine.

The last three frigates. I'll post the destroyers together for the future.

Very much enjoying seeing your posts pop up in this thread, Makina.


P.S
Where does one get a pinkie pie avatar like yours?

Yep, i like those new frigates, much better. Btw am i only one to find the cool animated railgun to be a bit too "bouncy"? It make me feel like it is firing some candy/bubblegum at the enemy.

I noticed the same. Hopefully the bounciness can be reduced so the cannon feels like cold steel and hydraulics?

Well, some of the bigger ships could possibly shoot candy and bubblegum.... *looks at Makina's current capital ship lineup* 

I think the railgun will be okay in-game, considering all we're seeing right now is the full cycle played at all at once. I imagine there'll be a long pause after firing during the gun's chargedown before it folds back into the hull.

Hi guys,

Working on another old 'Domain of Man' relic ship. There is a lot of work left, still have to do texturing, lights, paint, windows, damage, dirt, microdetailing etc. but here is a look at the base model:

I was thinking about ship design and decided to take inspiration from main battle tanks, where the sloped angles of the armour helps deflect incoming kinetic projectiles. I also wanted the armour to be a thick visible layer distinct from the hull and for it to use multiple layers of tiles for better projectile energy dispersion similar to dragonscale armour so that if one.

The rear has large engine exhausts that are protected from the side by an angular hull design as well, I was considering adding a protective grill at the back that still allows exhaust out but denies incoming projectiles, but it would make it a bit OP if missiles couldn't cause a flame out.

The circles seen on the hull are indicative of weapon mount positioning, the largest circle on top is a large weapon mount, likely to be a large ammunition based weapon. So the final image size pixel for pixel will be more like this.

Started painting on an old BSF design I made to create a Blackrock superfreighter. I haven't used my Wacom since 2004 but holy *** is it useful.

Im liking the basic design.
But that dosent look like a freighter...the way it looks right now, its giving me either the feeling of a would-be heavy-armored battleship or a spacecraft carrier.

To be more accurate, its the sides and front that gives me that feeling, they look like they'd either house massive guns or be big hangars

[Cycerin]

Gonna fill the middle up with cargo modules that poke out from under the armor, I think. But the main idea is "heavily protected, huge cargo ship".

[Silver Silence]

So a Neutrino superfreighter?  (seriously, those things have more armour than the Banshee battleship from the same mod)

Being so bulky and heavily protected, I hope it gets good self defense armament. Again, looking towards the Neutrino Nausicaa super colliding super freighters (they also weigh a metric ton for starfarer ships), that thing gets -6- medium mounts. And while it does also have the Neutrino super efficient shields, it sadly does not get a burn drive or the Neutrino equivalent, a Cruise Drive.

[MrDavidoff]

Im working(slowly) on a new freighter for the T.T. sub-faction Im making. This freighter should be huge, to be able to carry supplies/fuel to resupply a dreadnaught.

Currently Im trying to make a new fuel tank, using the vanilla sprite as a base, but would like to put T.T. color scheme on it, with some other details, I would add
later on the ship(like pipes.. etc..)

Which of this looks OK/SUXs?
