It was originally meant to taper from angle to flat to angle, but that left basically no room for anything other than medium mounts, so i just angled the whole thing, and since i've now added a little something something to the empty space in the middle, I think i'll just leave the turret placements as is, but thanks for the help everyone. x3

Well my turn then, I completely remade the Almire, because people didn't like it. Lets see if they like it better now.  

Its still open to modification, i can remove 2 medium mounts if you think its over gunned.

I think that's really nice! it has a definite heavy cruiser feel to it 

[ValkyriaL]

Well i guess il have to relabel it as a heavy cruiser now, instead of just cruiser.

OT: As for the avatar...i just had to

You can always make a "super build_in weapon" on the middle

Changed it further because 2 large "turrets" on a cruiser was just overkill, it obliterated any enemy except capital ships and the Nirvana and was impossible to flank when i tested it.

Still open to modifications, i see tons of things i could change on this baby.

why not open a new thread for that

[ValkyriaL]

Then start one, someone's gotta do it.  I have quiet a few weapons i'm willing to show the public. "gddammit! you posted before me! >.<"

[silentstormpt]

After reading the topic, hum, its actually fine to post those here too, its not limited to ships

[TheHappyFace]

indeed all sprites are welcome even for weapons ,backgrounds, symbols whatever art you got for starfarer.

[ValkyriaL]

I remade the Nirvana as well just to see what it would look like, not saying that i'm changing it, just couldn't resist remaking it to see the difference , the current version of it is in the mod thread or my description.

if I make it any larger i'm going to have to reclassify it as a capital instead of a heavy cruiser.  

EDIT: cleaned up funny pixels around the engines

EDIT 2: Oh god, I've gone mental, I cant stop adding more stuff to it.

Ok so ill be posting here some code and a beam weapon so you can show off the beam sprites you managed to do, let me grab my borg plasma beam  

weapon_data.csv

Code

"NAME_IN-GAME","WEAPON_ID",2,2750,2000,2500,,,0,40,999,,,FRAGMENTATION,,1000,0.1,0.1,2,2,,,,,10000,,,,,,"WEAPON_NUMBER_ID"

Yes its broken Overpowered but the point is to show off sprites

NOTE - to add a custom beam sprite add this:

Code

"textureType":["graphics/fx/beam_sprite.png"],
