Show off your ship designs 2007!

Ship designs from around the world!

Last year, we had a thread in which people showed off some of the great ship designs they created with Galactic Civilizations II.

With the expansion pack adding so many new components and so much free form support, we'd love to see the cool things players create.

The cool thing in the expansion pack is now you can save your creations as templates and then assign the computer players to make use of those ships in various roles. Combined with the capability of creating your own custom opponents, now you can create your own sci-fi universe within GalCiv without modding.

TG, nice designs man. Very nice. I like the estetics.

I had 1 ship to show, but my computer fried a few weeks ago, and I haven't had the money to get the new Mobo and processor. Next weekend I should have the money and if my HD didn't go bad also, I can finally show my 10 hour design.

Question to you Kenwebb, how do you do the turrets? Do you use some of the Weapons? I made some turrets which suit my design, but I have a little tweaking to do with em.

I've been away awhile so I was glad to see all the new ship posts. Great looking stuff! TG I espescially like the backgound fluff that goes along with your ships. (Which look mighty fine to me.) Midnight I like the Heavy Fighter Type-02 Mk 1 with the hydraulic looking cylinders between the wings that make it look like it has an x-wing action to them.

Yeah, nice carapace effects. I also like the Valkyries on the last page, Kenwebb.

Good satellites, Midnight. Very spiky.

ok i was asked to build a real tholian ship designed from starfleet battles

yes i know there is no such thing as a real tholian ship

unless of course there is a race out there in the universe calling itself tholian

anyways this would be a DN/SCS in starfleet battels

here is my new military scout i haven't designed a civilian one yet if i do it will use the above ship base

you will note the two lab sections on top and the large experment pad at the rear


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


here is the new frigate design it is a small hull like the scout. it may look like the old one. but note the engine attachment pod and the addition of more hull between the two sections

i will add more ships as i build them

i plan on having

1 civil fleet which is almost complete
3 military fleets tholian, neo tholian, and real tholian(they will each use one type of weapons and end up using all three defenses)
and
1 group of webbases

i hope you enjoy

this is a secound family shot

this is my webcity and it is also used as a trade ship. this base is too expensive to be used at all planets thus it is limited to the homeworld


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


this is my webbase d it also is too expensive to be used on all planets so it is limited to the home system


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


this is my webbase c it can be used to defend all planets

WOW.. where can we get both of these


i did the first one, mementh. i've added to the design substantially since i posted those pics. i'll try to make it a point to upload it to the library this weekend (the design will require KHSM).

danielost, what do you set your specular intensity to? i like how so much light reflects from your ship hulls. might it also be your video card? i know i've only got a fairly dated radeon X600.

i don't know to both of your questions sorry


you can check the specular intensity on the video options in the F8 menu, but you don't need to go out of your way or anything for me. i really need to just experiment with my system to find the best set of options. thanks for replying.
