Original Starship Design Thread

[thekillman]

give your ship a 3-shield system.

humans use 1 shield generator. what if yours has a smaller generator under each flight pad
which generates the shields there (But powered by the main generators), and a seperate main shield for the main hull.

a ship in space is always easy to detect. just because there's some color doesnt make it a primary target. we could find the dartbays on a hive without any colorful paint.

Ok my new ship, it is an ancient exploration ship

Very, very nice! That shape has some very good possibilities. I was thinking that you could arrange a docking area or something between those two arms. Functionality guaranteed.

Damn! That's one of the finest ships you've made shapewise! If you may, I would suggest that you make 2 versions out of that hull; one is that battle carrier, and other one is a real badass dreadnaught or battleship. Keep the landing platform shape, but modify it to house several large turrets.







In the mean while I went back to my old destroyer and Modelling challenge bomber and made a "quick" scene of them making an atmospheric flight

Enjoy

That's very intresting.
Good job.

did a multi-image of my larger ships, the dedalus is not mine just used to help show scale.

Spoiler:

...bit of a size comparison.

Sweet......though i don't recognise the ship on the far right...... I might try my hand at a line up in a bit as well....

[locutes]

can't green,,,

It goes:

Triton class - Combat Carrier
Bellerophon class - Fighter Carrier
Deadalus class - Deep Space Carrier
Hermes class - Destroyer
Orpheus class - Frigate
Helios class - Geophysical survey and Mining vessel/ Cargo and Civillian transport

Triton? hhhmmm, sounds like Tridon, the name of a system in CSVF i made.

[locutes]

Triton is a name (atleast in dutch) of an ancient greek mythical being of the oceans

[Merlin1701]

Thats why I named it Triton, all my ships link back to ancient greek myths. The Triton was son of poseidon, whom also carried a trident like poseidon.

I want to give the Triton carrier the trident missile that i created for the Poseidon. I'm not into the virtual fleets 442, to confusing to me.

Forgot to ask Will, did you get the stealth ships I sent?

what's so confusing about virtual fleets? It's allot of fun, atleast, I think so, and I know 442 does too, otherwise he wouldn't spend that much time writing for it

[Dr Lee]

I've found that if you don't jump in at the start.... or miss a bit... it can be confusing to follow just what is going on IMHO

[Experiment 442]

I don't really spend that much time writing for it, the writing i put into the Vitual Fleets are like detailed plans for the outline of a story with a lot of description.

Yep Gareth, i got 'em. And i must say its so simply marvelous! Great work on it as always.

IMHO? In My Homicidal Opinion?

I can see that yea.

I joined the CSVF while it was already progressing and after reading all of it I just loved it and joined up with it. It's great this way
