Hope that things will get better once optimisation starts to pop up in the core game.

No babby shop-bought PCs here. Need some good RAM and need an actual GFX card to run Ironclads.

I'm running it on a Dell Vostro 1520, essentially a 5 or 6 year old business laptop. The 32-bit limitation is the issue more than the overall hardware, though integrated graphics cards are rarely suitable for anything with a semblance of 3D.

[Okim]

Got bored and decided to post these ships here...

Note: these ships WONT be present in Ironclads or any other mod for Star Sector...

[Sabaton]

 What was their intended role? If they ever had any.

[HELMUT]

And for which game are these for?

[Okim]

That`s a secret for now

Hope that it will eventually evolve into smth that i was promissed...

[Okim]

Federation of Free Stars fast attack gunship codenamed Law. Missile/ballistic gunship, to be specific...

This one is for Ironclads.

[Sabaton]

 FFS? New nation? Unaffiliated sub/faction? Design philosophy?

[Okim]

New faction. Enemies for both XLE and UIN. Children to both factions that once rebelled and separated.

[Tecrys]

Love that ship!

Looks very military like a modern jet somewhere between an F14, F22 and Apache helicopter.

Maybe some turbines left and right like the square ones on an Apache would look really cool, too.

Not that I think the sprite needs any improvement, it's perfect.

[Toxcity]

Can't wait to see them in game (and destroy their ships).

[Okim]

Law in game. Note that this is not the final version as it uses UIN/XLE weapons and RSF dish (as well as standard midline drives). All of these will be replaced + decals added. I just need to experiment a bit with the sprite itself.

[Piemanlives]

I feel the FFS should be slightly bigger than it's parent nations, considering it has 2 factions that are hostile to it.

[CrashToDesktop]

And think of the poor pirates. But I wouldn't mind if it were bigger, more fleets to scrap in my wake!

[Okim]

The idea is actually an opposite one - FFS are a unity of lonsome colonies scattered across some distant space in the SE corner of the map.

They are the only faction that combines XLE extreme FTL speeds with UIN outstanding fuel economy allowing their ships to travel further than XLE/UIN ships.

This advantage makes it possible for one-side raids into XLE/UIN territory with very rare retaliatory incursions in FFS space.
