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.

Alrighty... First off, the BC-102 Corvette! (NOTE: Corvette is a mistake. It should be Fighter.)



Next, the BC-204 Battlecruiser! (NOTE: Battlecruiser is a mistake. It should be Frigate.) Oh, make sure to see the how the frontal extension actually has a gap in the middle. It sticks it, and then part of it rises above and continues down. Basically, thats where the huge mass driver is. The whole ship pivots around to aim that giant accelerator, and then BAM. Sadly, that is not what is shown in the battlecam, at least not usually. Once or twice it has happened as it should, and when it does it's awesome.



Finally, (the failed attempt at an Imperium Capital Ship), the BC-306 Battlecruiser (NOTE: Battlecruiser should be Orion. All of my capital ships have unique names). Hell, every capital ship (200+ points in any weapon category) I build has to be a unique design. I don't mass produce capital ships. Oh, this ship has 300+ points in a single weapon category. A fleet of these (5 of them) can take on and destroy a Peacekeeper Armada. Did I mention it has a ton of defense (200+ points in total) and that it has 14 Movement?



...Now, I shall present the next line of ships. These come straight from the Von Confederacy located at Alpha Centauri!

First, the Von Class Battleship! Pride of the Von Confederacy. Note the two main mass drivers on the side, and three on the front.



Next, the Von Confederacy Cruiser! A mighty warship designed to break even the toughest defenses. Three fast firing mass drivers are lined up on each side, able to pound enemy ships into submission.

Finally, the Von Confederacy Mining Starbase! A great asset to all those who require resources quickly and efficiently. It is able to warp through space and establish asteroid bases all across the galaxy.



And I have two more ships to show. These come straight from the Imperial Shipyards!

The Orion Class:


The Dreadnaught Class:


///ERROR-ERROR-ERROR
///ONE SHIP NOT SHOWN
///TRANSMISSION INTERCEPTED
//////"Spore Facility"///


///TOP SECRET DESIGN///
///END///
///TRANSMISSION COMPLETE///

Heheheh.

Those are some good looking ships kvd!

I finally got DA today. The amount of extras are truly amazing. The amount of distinctive ships that can be created from the is mind boggling! No wonder hardly anyone is posting on this thread. They are all building ships!

Kvd2007 you big mook, they ships are stonking

I reckon if the big ornage one had a kaboose like my missus then it would be pretty close to an imperial capital ship.

I'm gonna have to put my money where my mouth is and knock something new up.

This one is for danielost. Its a heavy container design for trading that also shows a container group being prepped for shipment to a customer.


Notice the tugs manipulating the cargo.


This is almost complete but still a WIP.
