Just phooling around and came up with these ships. I'm usually not real big on anthropomorphic stuff, preferring functional ships like Bab5's or Battlestar Galactica.

When I get some time maybe I can sit down, spend hours and make some real killers

Pegasus
Scorpion (Dreadnaught class)
Scorpion 2

well i had to go and make a super mall

at present

100 ship crew

1000 military officers

451 pood captians

451 poods

this ship isn't destroyed when it is attacked and it is determined it won't win the fight everything falls apart

so now you don't have 1 ship to chase but 451


this ship can handle a trillion customers at a time

when the mall comes into the system those who can go go there to shop

when the super mall comes in a holiday is declared

Thought Id post some ships from my latest game as the Cylord Technoimperium. Still early, so nothing sexy like warships yet...just utility vessels: trade,colony, constructor. Ill put up the warships as they evolve.

Wow, I really like your ships Bingjack! Especially the Constructor Droid!

Awesome designs Bingjack  I really like the freightliner and the colony transport, and the constructor droid is a fantastic ideal . You should defiantly think about doing a ship pack for the library. I have bean racking my brain and how to design a Cylon constructor for my Battlestar Galactica fleet pack and I believe a droid constructor like yours is a excellent way to go. Thanks!

All of my battleships here use large hulls; all use DL parts without Kryo's mod.

The most powerful battleship in the Terran Allied Systems Navy is the Harrisburg-Class, which is designed to operate in powerful fleets intended to hold territory. Generally speaking, ships built around this hull equip more significant defenses than their counterparts. All Harrisburg-Class ships are named after North American capital cities (Canadian territories and US states).

The London-Class battleship is designed to be well-rounded and less expensive. It is a common ship-of-the-line. All London-Class battleships are named after European capitals.

The Seoul-Class battleship usually carries heavy firepower, and so is slightly specialized. All Seoul-Class battleships are named after Asian capitals.

Finally, the Caracas-Class battleship carries heavy defenses and many engines. While it is not particularly powerful offensively, being designed to intercept weak enemy fleets while operating in pairs with frigates in foreign territory. All Caracas-Class battleships are named after South American and Central American capitals.

I'm aware that some aren't totally symmetrical! You've gotta stop fiddling eventually, right?

Also, Kenwebb, your ships are fantastic. I think I've read this whole thread, and I like almost everything posted.

Thanks Misaniovent. You should check-out my post kenwebb’s Omega shipyard. It has all the screen shots of ships that I have sent to the library and the stuff that I am working on. WWW Link

Alrighty then, I got a couple of new ship designs that I have cooked up.

This first one I came up with some time ago. She is a Defender class medium cruiser.

This second one is both based on and named after the Resolute II of Exo Squad fame.

The inspiration.

Continuing with my Game as the Cyberlord Technoimperium. Posted some of the utility ships above, here are some of the sexier designs, with the grand finale at the end.


Just to recap from above, the Servitor Droid, the tradeship, and the Colony ship:




A few assorted ships:

Early game Missle Drone, slow, small, cheap... serves more as an orbital deterrent, and to encourage the AI to keep researching missle defenses, while I develop beam ships. Also, a link station in the Imperiums vast sensor net, and the Mysterious Stellar Ovoid...a late game huge hulled behemoth that gives rise to something else...







The first medium-hulled attack ship, the Gammahawk...average firepower, but fast and manuverable with sophisticated defenses for confounding the missles which the rest of the universe is using:






Finally, the signature Imperium vessel, the Void Raptor. A durable large-hulled battle cruiser . Much more powerful phasor attack craft with solid defense and good speed. Still vulnerable to the dauntingly powerful Drengin massed fleets, but fast enough to stay a step ahead and make opportunistic attacks.






And finally, the ulitmate expression of Cyberlord Technology, NovaWyrm, the star dragon! Gestates in the Stellar Ovoid, and launches late game *breathing* Doom Rays out of each head, and leads a massive force conquering everything in its path.

I cant get a good shot of it to save my life. The GC rendering engine and lighting setup in GC isnt really sophisticated enough to handle depth perception with complex overlapping shapes. I tried a second series with a gaudy bright color scheme which makes it pop a bit more, but its still hard to really discern form. Youll just have to take my word that its glorious

Bingjack, I don't know how you did it , but that two headed dragon ship of yours is the most awesome thing ive seen in a while. I am so not worthy.
Reply #747 Top
Heh, thanks. Im actually partial to the flying BSG logo, er, Void Raptor. The dragon hit the wall on components (started geting significant lag when placing), long before I was finished with what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to armor plate the body, and put a solid wall of "feathers/scales" on the wings, but it was not to be. I suppose at a certian point I should just model the complex stuff myself and import in into the game, but that ruins the the whole point of lego-building in the ship builder.

Ur ships are really cool and all but... i also think that you guys have WAYYY too much time on your hands to do all that

Because spending an hour or two playing with one part of a game is somehow "wasting time", while playing another part isnt? This seems an odd observation to make on a website dedicated to a computer game.

I love the cleanness and exoticness of your ships Bingjack. Those have to be the most beautiful ships ever made for GalCiv2. My insignificant human eyes are not worthy of looking at those ships.
