STICKY: SHOW OFF your cool ship designs

What have you made?

Have you made some cool ships? Show others what you've managed to make!

Here's a robot shp that Synthetic Orange pointed me to:

Show off your designs here!

Great ship designs, guys. I like "spore"--it looks like what a military starbase should look like. Hey thats a cool idea--not only could we build our own custom ships, but how about using the ship designer to be able to build our custom starbases?

Anyway, another Star Trek ship, the Reliant:

Has anyone managed to create any classic Star Trek ships or UFOs or is that impossible with this game?

Hmmm... I just saw AxelKane's Reliant Star Trek ship and some others. Can you share how you did that?

To make both Enterprise and Reliant, you need to make a spoke ring, and at the end of the spokes, add the trapezoidal hull peices. Rotate them to make them almost flat. You have to make a second ring for the bottom. I inverted the Radio dish piece to make the center, and to finish off the saucer, you have to use the giant wheel like peice. You have to get it just right, in the middle. You add the Window sections to the perimeter of the saucer.

The Enterprise requires the engineering section, and I put that together with multiple rings and cowling type of peices. When you need to have something inverted, often you have to attach an antenna, then attach the peice you want inverted to the end of the antenna. (like the connection peices betwwen the saucer and engineering sections).

I took advantage of a bug to make Reliant. If you invert a white "lighted windows" rectangular piece, you end up with a free floating hardpoint, a short distance away for the piece.. That's what I used to start the midline part of the superstructure to which the engines were attached.

BTw I made these and Klingon ships above without mods. I'd love to load them into the library, but I can't figure out how. What files do I need to transfer to the library?

Thats an awesome thread, before seeing the great ships here I never tried anything more complex than a hull with 4 wings and simple stuff like that.
Thats my first try to build something more elaborate, the "Reaper" (small terran hull, no mods used):

This is awesome, the whole thread. However, I can't seem to do this myself.

Can anyone point me to a guide for newbs on how to design these visual masterpieces. The game doesn't help much and when trying to cusotmize my own designs in game, it doesn't seem to save. All I get are the upgrades and the basic template, no matter what I do

PLZ HELP!

The only advice I can give of a guide on designing ships is just experiment. At first try not think of a design just experiment combing different jewelry at different angels until you fined a look you like. Once you see how jewelry works with other jewelry you can design more elaborate design. I fined my-self design a ship and re-design several times until I like the design. The process dose take time and peasants.

You can see some of my work here

Is there anywhere that Battlestar Ken posted, or the Trek ships Alex posted pics of are downloadable? I've grabbed a bunch from the library, but can't find those and they are amazing!

Please post link for the download or site to find if it exists I'm using 1.1 with the Kryo Hull mod. I don't plan to use 1.2 till it's official release.

Thanks!

To mc1gamer thank you I am glad you like them. I have not release my Clyon or Battlestar ships yet to the library but I will soon. I have few more design and other shippacks that I am working on. But I will release them to the library in a ship-pack and to Enigma I am sorry but I just do not have a lot of time to make screen shots of basic hull. my-be another gamer can make them and post them. P.S. Also it sometime takes a few weeks for a ship or mod to be approved to the library

Thanks Ken, I'll keep an eye out for the news. I SO want to launch a huge galactica, and pegasus with tons of small vipers. I'm especially in love with the new series look over the 70's. I'm hoping to game with few planets so each capital ship actually means something and taking them into battle is a big deal. Same with the trek ships, if I can get them. I've gotten the klingon ones, and I love them too! Great stuff all around

Some great looking ships so far!! Here's my go at it. I started with a large hull and built from there. The picture shows a load out of 20 points of photon torpedos, 12 points of armour (don't recall the type), and 11 points of engines (Warp Drive). Took me about an hour in game design. Oh yeah.. I called it the Avenger Class.
