Violent ones! )O)


You never told me you actually completed the whole set. :/

In terms of balance, those ships are way more reasonable than anything you have created by far. Turret mounts aren't meant to be spammed!

Now as for the art, it could use a bit of work in shading/color balance, but I can't help you there.

Actually, these ships are intended to be non-playable for the campaign, since there are "some" built-ins to the appearance, and hullmod adjustments.

Also an "upgraded" version of the Blitzkrieg since many people are bashing from it, and a weaponless Aurora exclusively meant to be kitbashed from:



To clarify since the situation is getting tense:
These and the other civilian ships I made from vanilla are okay to kitbash from without asking as long as it stay withing Starsector's context (as per the EULA and FractalSoftworks' authorization). However they aren't free to be used as they are. This is also true for Scy ships (CC license), but this is NOT the case for the few other original ships I posted or the ones I made for other mods.

[edit] While I'm at it, I'm making a whole set of those ready-to-kitbash sprites:

Those look really nice. I am sure some people who kitbash will put them to good use.

Hi there! I don't read this thread religiously so I'm not sure if you guys still take kitbashes or not but here are three ships using more or less the same parts that I just had a fiddle with in photoshop. The parts come from either vanilla ships or the hurricane found in Psiyon's free stuff thread so credit there.

The ships aren't particularly complex in terms of production skill but there's been some recoloring and hue adjustment done to some of the modules. Either way, enjoy :)

Animus assault cruiser


Arcana dreadnaught


Viceroy heavy cruiser

EDIT:

BONUS!!! My first fully handrawn sprite with the exception of the turrets which are just too smexy to change.

Spoiler

The Crusader Dreadnaught

Damn, just realized I forgot to demirror some of the writing ;.; ohwell.jpg
[close]

EDIT2:

And my second ever freedrawn sprite, again the turrets are stock, but I like em, so who cares. Imo the cell shading and general gubbinsiness of this one is better and it certainly looks better on first glace, for a second effort I'm happy with it.

Just something I threw together on a whim. Not sure what I'll use it for, if anything.

Here's a larger version of the Artemis; the Apollo. Same general idea, rapid interceptor, not sure if it's a destroyer or not though

Destroyer? That's smaller than most of my frigates, as well as less gunned. (Although I suppose that is a weakness due to flux blah blah)

In the end, the way I see it is it's classified by its stats, if you want to make a mini-destroyer with all the stats of a destroyer, make it a destroyer! Or make it a frigate, it's totally up to you.

Just a comment on the art style, I'm sure you're aware but ships in Starsector don't have outlines like that. If that's an artistic choice that's fine, but it may look a little out of place. Not that I can talk though... :)

Well, it's loadout is the four small energy turrets you see, two medium energy hardpoints in the front cannons, two concealed small missile points, and a concealed energy pd point at the read... After mocking it up and throwing it into a previous edition of ss it can quite happily engage most of the lighter destroyers, but not the heavier ones, then again so can many frigates...

As for the style, I'm still very much learning as I go, have you got a suggestion as to how to replace the outlines?

Okay, so I did a bunch of mucking about and I came up with this change to the Apollo, hopefully this get's rid of those unsightly lines.
