@Romeo - I finally figured what you exactly meant...tried to fix it and on the left you can see the "fix"...I'm not sure if that's really how I wanted the ship to look like or whatever, but check it out and tell me if it makes a difference oh and...

@sproggy - Take a look and tell me if that's the part that was too black/dark/distinctive cause I noticed that flux entrance was really too black and wide so I worked and ironed that a bit out...or was it another part?

Like the "fixed" one better, now it doesn't look so odd to me anymore ^^"

[Dr. Death[Lexx]]

Makes me happy. Thanks Romeo.

[Sproginator]

The ProtostrikeArmament Corporation presents two of their newest invetions:

The Ether Turret...

... and the Gamma Coil Driver.

Both weapon systems will be sent immediately into the Corvus sector to their rightful buyers, the Corvus star system...The Gamma Coil Driver to the corresponding Orbital stations while The Ether Turret will be sent primarily to the Obeiron Station to be used and utilized directly by the Valkyrian armada.

And glad you like the Executor better now, guys, thanks for the help and feedback. Turret sprites made by Val and me. Hope you guys like our design.

Been trying to get my ships in game and balancing them, so far I'm happy with them, I'll try to upload ingame screenshots tomorrow.
Besides that; made a new ship...

The Pavise Class Support Cruiser:

Designed as a damage soaker and point defense cruiser, it's getting the fortress shield system and maybe a built in guardian PD. Graphically it's not finished, I think it's lacking details, so comments are appreciated

And a portrait, somewhat inspired by Starcraft's Battlecruiser's captains, and Arcturus Mengsk

On a somewhat unrelated note, decided to go with capital ship for the atlalt better than an astral at combat, but a worse carrier, and classified the Halberd as a dreadnought, referring to the heavy armor part instead of size, being a hightech ship that relies more in armor than shields... If I ever make a ship bigger than a capital, I'm going with Titan, just like Sins of a Solar Empire did.

Speaking of these, should I get started on them?

[TheHappyFace]

Digging the shape of the weapons, they have a very vivious feel to them.
One question though; both are supposed to be "Coilguns"? I am asking because they are looking more like "Railguns" having that U-shape, wich usually suggests "railgun" because the projectile is accelerated between the rails.

A coilgun consists out of a coil wrapped around a barrel. Minor thing though xD


@Machine: really liking the portrait, especially the coat/cape-over-the-shoulders-thing. He also looks like he is wearing an armored spacesuit, looks really chestplate-like, liking it!

[Dr. Death[Lexx]]

Well they are in fact both considered railguns. And "coil" means in my weapon name nothing more but the weapon itself shooting projectiles that are being charged up between two coils inside the turret itself then afterwards being accelerated and shot between its rails, i suppose.

[Romeo_One]

Yeah but thats exactly what strikes me xD

A railgun does not use coils, it uses rails

The coilgun "pulls" the projectile out of the barrel, while the railgun actually shoots the projectile.
Or rather because of the difference in electro magnetic fields, the projectile between the two rails is set in motion.

But hey they are your weapons, they can be named however you like them to be named ^^

Just wanted to point that out

Still awesome sprites!

[Dr. Death[Lexx]]

It's not a coil by normal technical definition, it just looks like one...the gamma coils serve only to energize the bolt/projectile to a certain sufficient energy level...afterwards they are being accelerated and shot by the rails. It's not a coil per say as already mentioned.

Kind of like how a coil is used for the heating element in most kettles

[Sproginator]

That's a cool mod, and ofcourse you can use my BSF ships.
Actually I'll upload them for you; it's a more complete compilation than the one I released in BSF forums it includes the following fleets: Terran systems coalition, Terran Pirates/Rebels, Aliens and the Devourer Swarm (Bugs), all of them mentioned in the thread. All ships are both in shp and sb4 format; feel free to do any modification to them as you might need.

Edit: It also includes the sprites used to make them, most are in png and some in gif formats.

Bugger, I don't suppose you have graphics of the actual ships do you? not just the parts and .ship data files? sorry to be a pain :/

Exactly, sproggy. Thank you.
