The Roamer Clans Predator class warship is the hunter/killer of the cosmos. Designed to approach with speed and clear the way for the following transports, she is lightly but fearfully armed. Outfitted with Psyonic Beam Weapons specifically for the current Arcean dispute, her high speed means she can approach unsuspecting worlds and clear away all but the most robust defenders.

The Predator class is tested in battle with zero losses to date and has been at the forefront of all major incidents.

Trying this for the first time.  See if it works

Here is a tip when designing fleet ships like the bottom ship:

You need weapons on it. What good is the ship if it can not defend itself? If it caught in the open or in a weak group, it will get destroyed in a hurry. Adding weapons will give it a chance of victory.

Also, by adding weapons to it, you can use it as a wall since ships with fleet modules and weapons will draw all of the enemy fire, leaving your other, weaker ships, safe (so long as the weaker ships does not pack too much weaponry that they steal the aggro back).

Just a few tips from me.

Thanks for the info.  I was beating up the last Civ so bad, I didn't even put it into action.  But putting some weapons on it makes sense.

Thanks

Bold away.  I wouldn't know any of this w/o the Board's Advise. Actually I'm trying to do a Celestial Galley Slave Ship to use if I go Evil.  But I can't figure out how to do the side planking.

I quote like that Mzuz..well done!
I'm going to work on the most ugly looking Constructor to date. Iv'e always felt Constructors should reflect their function more than anything, and i like the idea of derrick cranes in space...i'll see where it takes me.

Very Nice!! I forgot how well one can design ships in TA!

Nice! I particularly like the FG1204..looks pretty good!

This thread isn't getting as many responses as I would hope. All I have right now are Terran designs, but wait a few days and I should have something up.

for my next game i built a new federation style ship (huge)

Some ships from my latest game. first time i have bothered with trade in a while so i built a nice frieghter for the occasion.

The Lucian Alliance Warp Freighter.




Lucian alliance Medium Hull: Bird of Prey




And the Flagship of the Lucian Alliance Navy, the Aurora Class. (kind of a cross between an Atlantian (Stargate Atlantis) aurora class and a Mon Calamari ship from SW)
I think my greatest creation so far.

Finally scratch-built a ship rather than expanding on existing designs. It captures what I like about the Yor aesthetic - weirdness, odd amounts of empty space, pointy things, and their peculiar aerials/tentacles.

The Defect Removal Frigate

The reason I ended up building this guy is that I really wanted to use some of the more difficult bits of Yor style jewelry. specifically the bits that comprise the top and bottom of the frigate. MAN I wish you could add attachment points to things - I spent a long time fiddling with hidden components to get the aerial/tentacles in the right place.
