HELMUT, that is a really great ship.

Any chance of seeing a whole faction based on that design?

The two bridges have a pretty different shape to me, sure the lightning color is the same but i'm not sure Starsector vanilla ships have other "windows" light than this? And given it's for Starsector +, i tried to avoid getting too fancy...

Xalendi, i really have a soft spot for that brightly colored frigate.

Anyway, i was getting tired of rocks, so i made something else instead.

I really like that idea of a highly modular ship like this one.

How do you plan to implement those different versions? Is each one a different ship or do you have some nifty code to change it's specialisation in the refit screen?

It would be possible to create and code a basic Skylark without any extra components, that can be fitted into a special role by buying an inventory item like 'engines, 'fueltanks' or 'cargo containers'. Which would then change the ship into that variant. But for now these will be put in as separate ships.

I've given this some thought previously (with the PACK Samoyed), but never got round to attempting it.

Would love to see your implementation if you ever get round to it.

Thanks Helmut. I must admit, I like that sprite you've done. Reminds me of the Rebel ships from FTL: Faster Than Light

Hopefully, an entire faction. Some ways away, though.

I am almost sure the different coloured sides of Helmut's ship are not intentional, he mentioned having some problems with his screen a while ago and I guess that is the reason for the asymmetric colours.

Yes, i already made 7 of those (including the Dominus).

I want it to be part of a new faction in the future so i'm going to say no, but if it's just modifying it for your mod and not to publish it, i guess it's okay. When the faction will be released (long way to go) then maybe having a modified version of the Dominus as an independent battlecruiser could work as well? We'll see.

Nailed it. My inspiration and the base of most of those ships come from the rebels from FTL. They have a very similar shape and colour scheme, just replaced the light blue lines with white.

For once it's not my screen doing weird stuffs! I just tried some new things with shading. The central part of the ship is supposed to cast a shadow on the right side, that's why it's darker. If it look too weird to people, i can easily fix it.
