i just wanna say, i play this game to hear the cries of my enemies and the lamentations of their shield dispersers

[BigD145]

After many setbacks, I have finally finished the first draft of the Mjolnir heavy cruiser hull !

We'll have to get together side by side.

Sigging. Because I feel like it. :3

[UristMcDwarf]

like one time, my friend and i were playing on a server and he was building a ship and some guy came up and took a potshot at him and i charged
i chased him from sector to sector until i convinced him to stop and negotiate
while we did that, i gave my friend the co-ords and we ganked him

hahahaa
ha

haaa

Gah, I forget which way the arrow points. The hammerhead's the front, eh? In that case, it definitely needs more rear end, so to speak.

Also, reminds me of the Starcraft Battlecruiser.

Naaah, it not a SC battlecruiser. This is:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look at the battlecruiser in its fullest, no turrets in this version, but on server i have them.


A brief look into rocket wings and docking bay number 2.


Docking bay features 1 wraith per wing and 1 banshee per wing. Do you like the wraith? (No banshee in the pic)


Shield room. Engine room. IN ONE!


Weapon battery Yamato cannon


Pre-bridge corridor.


The bridge.


Nice view, huh? A bit blurry due to the way starmade makes screenshots.


The power core. Dont worry poltifar, the power beams are not connected (100% effective design), they are diagonally touching only.


The view from cockpit - glorious Yamato Cannon. I like killing people with its glorious 900 damage. (Provided you adjust sliders correctly)

Battlecruiser operational!

Its my design, and i made it, in meaning that in StarMade, but well, the battlecruiser operational is from Starcraft franchise.

I finished it like 3 days ago but the link to pics that Greiger sent me was broken soo... Well whatever, enjoy the picstory.

Now this is Behemoth_Class_Battlecruiser. Time to make Gorgon_Class_Battlecruiser! (Which by this game standards is a titan/calibri)

[Sirian]

Hmm I might add side weapons to balance the design, then...

I'm not 100% happy with how I made the "hammerhead", but I guess it'll be enough for now, or I would have to do a lot more geometry and drawing, and i'm already doing too much of that.

My next project might be to make a 1:1 replica of the Asgard Bilskirnir from StarGate SG1. It's 1400m long by 640m wide (my current design is "only" 450m long by 376 wide).

That, or I might try to build more of the ships that I draw in high school -the "mjolnir heavy cruiser" is one of those. Well now that I think about it, since I had played Starcraft 1, the terran battlecruiser might have inspired me...

(Which by this game standards is a titan/calibri)

Where do you get those standards from ? I couldn't find a reference of "Calibri" class.

There are no official standards, just 3 player made ones.

This links to the 3 I know of.

[Leonon]

There are a few unofficial size guides on their forums.

Size guides

Nameless (mass based)
Blitzwing's (mass based)
Flexible (mass and turret count based)
Calbirian (file size based)

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Honestly, in terms of size those classifications make no sense, in fact, it pisses me off (not at anyone!) when people are all like, "OMG, your totally flying a destroyer!!!" and i'm bumming around in my heavy bomber.

But I don't know really, I guess its your own opinion that determines class of ship.

While I am in no way trying to put you off on making such a vastly, glorious creation. From what I've read there can be some issues with draw distance if ships get too big. I don't know how the game will handle loading a ship that can nearly span a sector, as apparently they can clip into objects since they don't load fast enough.

With those warnings out of the way, get to it!

[Urist McScoopbeard]

construction on the space castle has come a long way:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

after several design iterations a futuristic look was ultimately chosen.

after I complete the main tower, Im going to tunnel into the rock and create a large base. Im also considering making some satellite asteroids to house facilities and turrets, all part of the same ship.

[Sirian]

I decided to alter the design a bit, i'll show you the result once i'm done, but it should solve the "oversized head" effect and give me twice the room for utilities such as power, propulsion and shields. Also, so far i'm pleasantly surprised by how maneuverable it is for it's size. After some fiddling, I found out that the 1 million power/sec is a soft limit but you can't circumvent it with more separate power plants. So power tanks are the way to go if you have the room, they scale very well with larger sizes.

As far as classification goes, mine depends on weaponry and armor too, but overall I go by size (well, length) and add "light" or "heavy" if it's significantly below or above :

Fighter : 6m
Corvette : 12m
Frigate : 25m
Destroyer : 50m
Cruiser : 250m
Battleship : 500m
Battlecruiser : 1km
Warship/Carrier : 2km
Supercruiser : 7km
Dreadnough : 20km

 (These were the names I used on my high school drawings anyway...)

How does missile damage translate into shield damage? I know that if missiles don't overcome shields you do no damage; but is 800 missile damage enough to overcome 8,000 shield or what?

Also, removing a missile block and putting it back in build mode instantly reloads said launcher.

Missle machine guns anyone?

In this game 20km is kind of... you know, five times a planet.

I used Blitzwing's classification, since I find it the best.

Sirian, why are you making ships bigger than me? I just started the creation of my BIGAAAASSSS ship and you want to make a BIGGGEERASSS one?

Unacceptable! Must make my ship bigger than yours.

[Shadowlord]

Making a ship with dimensions larger than 200m tends to cause problems. Especially if you pass 300. Double especially if someone else's ship gets near to ramming you. Triple especially if they're also flying a large ship.
