    Hello! Welcome to the New Eden Fleetworks thread.

    I am currently in the process of converting EVE Online models into fully usable ships in StarMade in 1:1 scale. Yes that's right, 1:1 scale. Here's the catch, they're freakin huge!

    Below you will find a large amount of information about the ships I am creating with details from both EVE and StarMade as well as the processes, key features, release videos, images and downloads. It will be noted here that anyone taking any form of work, be it an image I created or a model/blueprint, and redistributing on this site will be reported. I will be putting a lot of work into these ships, there's no need to steal.


    THE SHIPS

    Listed below will be ships separated by race with links to an imgur album. The latest ship release for each race will be posted here. There will be a separate master thread with links to every download. You can find assorted videos and images throughout this thread.

    Amarr




    Caldari




    Gallente




    Minmatar




    Sisters of EVE

    THE PROCESS


    I take models from EVE itself and convert them to blueprints with SMedit. I know some people might frown upon this. Frankly I say to hell with them! After I import that model into StarMade I begin work on wire-framing the entire ship. At one point or another I am removing the entire imported model and replacing it with a clean framework. The only reason the model is there at all is for correct proportions. After that I begin filling in the hull and systems.


    I plan on releasing as many ships as possible from shuttles to full battleships with color variants thrown in randomly! This process will take a long freaking time. I will be building my way up working on multiple ships at a time and releasing them as they are completed. Color variants will be released as their own download so you get exactly what you want!


    I will try to keep this post up to date and post responses on the thread when more stuff comes out. Below you will find a spoiler with my entire ship catalog.
    Color Code - Complete and Available | Available - Foreseeable Updates | WIP | Incomplete

    Names in (X) mean they are SKIN variants. Most will only be available via interaction through my YouTube channel or on twitch.

    New Eden Fleetworks Special

    Today I take a look at the Minmatar Naglfar. A massive ship at 5137 meters tall, this dreadnought carries some of most powerful weapons in the EVE universe.


    Stay tuned for an update video in my next post!

    sweet mother of g.... That's quite an undertaking. I can only wish you a LOT of patience and good luck, especially with the titans ;)

    I won't be going near the Titans. Since this is a full scale conversion it would just be too much. The largest of those is 18 kilometers long. I can hardly import files that are 3 kilometers. I'm pretty sure I wont be completing any ship that's larger than 2 kilometers. Everything up to battleship class I will attempt. Most of those don't go past 1.5 kilometers. Capital ships may be turned into stations and if that happens then there's an opportunity for them to be community builds but that is far off in the future.

    As a fellow 1:1 builder I have great respect for what you are doing. It's challenging to build good looking ships in starmade, but even more so to try and take a preconceived model and recreate it in appropriate scale; however it looks like you're doing just fine. I also like seeing what methods others use to build ships so this post is like a jar of candy for me. Best of luck!

    How do you get the ship models? I was hoping to try building some Gallente frigates and destroyers

    I exported them directly from EVE using a specific program. In an attempt at keeping this fresh, I will not be giving any further details. I would like this to be the more legitimate source for these ships. As soon as I mentioned that I was doing this a few others tried taking the idea. I don't care if do your own take and I cant't really stop you. If you Google search the process it is actually pretty easy to do. It will only work if you have EVE installed, at least the way I did it.

    It will be released in a cinematic video on my channel and posted here.

    In other news, here is my progress on the Minmatar Breacher. The hull is done and it is ready for internal systems.

    There is a SMEdit database with all the EVE Ships in it, It's on the third page I think.

    No need. I get them all myself from EVE directly. To add to that, those blueprints aren't all on a 1:1 scale.

    So I thought I would go into depth about what I am actually planning for this project. This will be a long post covering everything I have thought of up until this point. You are free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer!

    The Goal
    Essentially I aim to recreate the most accurate EVE ships in StarMade. I lack a bit of self creativity or the motivation to finish anything I begin making. The ships I am working on are far more intricate and interesting than anything I could ever make (for now). People have already mentioned how they believe I should be working on my own designs. They might also dislike the fact that I am using imported models. I never started this for the community. I started it because I really enjoy making the ships! In the end I want to say that I created a battleship from EVE in StarMade, 1:1 scale. Of all the games I have played, I think I would get the greatest sense of pride in doing that and that's why I do it.

    Phase 1
    There are multiple phases that I am going to go through as the project goes on. Some of them will be long processes. Phase 1 is the creation of a ship. I import the model, and then I wireframe it. That's simple. I don't go into too much detail here. I just need to make sure that the shape is defined and that the core is in place. EVE ships are piloted by a capsule. On frigate sized ships or smaller, the capsule will be built in. On destroyers and larger, the capsule will act as an escape pod docked close to the core of the actual ship. Frigates are just too small to have anything docked inside of them.

    Currently I have no idea where the capsule/core will be inside the ship till it is wireframed and a bit of the interior is laid out. Until SMedit regains the ability to move cores, I then have to rebuild the ship with a new frame around the in-place core. Its not really an issue, as it is only a wireframe, and essentially I would be replacing and filling it all in anyways. Copy/paste helps. Once that is done I can begin filling in the external hull and all the details there. Thus ends phase 1.

    Phase 2
    In EVE there are ship classes (duh). Frigates, destroyers, cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships in order of size and overall capabilities. There are also four main races. For a long time I will be focusing on these races first. Phase 2 begins when I have completed the hulls of a race in a single class type. I take those empty hulls and compare the stats from EVE. Which has more shields? Whats the power regen like? Capacitor amount? I then begin filling in the systems relative to each other.

    For example, once I have finished the probe, breacher, slasher, rifter, burst and vigil, (all Minmatar frigates) I then compare their stats, and base my internal structures off the numbers from EVE. It will not be an exact thing. Basically if I see one ship has more shields than the next one, I'll throw in a few more. Keeping it simple. If the ship has any special bonuses then I may have to throw in some effect computers. or determine a way to try and implement it. If I can't, then I can't.

    Phase 3
    Essentially I do the same thing as phase 2, but I compare ALL the ships of the same class to make sure that no single race is completely OP. That's pretty much it. This will only happen of course once I finish every ship in those class types. Ships may be released before this point however once phase 2 is complete. This would include some battle testing and perhaps some updates to some of the releases.

    Phase 4
    Modules. Modules are what make EVE run. It's gear for your ship. There are literally thousands of modules in EVE. Or at least it seems that way. And there are so many different things they do. A lot of those modules can be mirrored in StarMade with the modules we have in game. Afterburners, Micro-warp drives, webifiers, energy neutralizers, armor repairers, shield boosters, capacitor upgrades. All sorts of stuff. What I plan on doing is making palettes for different modules for the different classes of ships. I'll make a few variants and then release it. You will literally be able to copy and paste the module into the EVE ship. There will be space in them left for these modules during phase 2/3. It will be a really nice way of customizing ships in the future. I just cannot guarantee that the effect will be noticeable on smaller ships due to limited size. They all have to fit on all the ships of the same class however. The largest they can get will be based off the the extra room on the smallest ships. It should not be a problem once we start getting into destroyer sizes and larger.

    Phase 5
    Color variants. Basically I take the hull of the ship and paint it new. Lights and external hull only will be swapped with new colors based on variants from EVE. They have some really awesome alternative color schemes that I would like to release! Hopefully by the time I get to this phase I will be able to use SMedit to repaint a copy of the hull. Then I can copy past the interiror from the original default one. If SMedit is not an option, then you guys might get the opprotunity to help me replace lights and hull on the ships, especially the bigger ones.

    Phase 6
    Cinematic release! Essentially once a ship has been tested and compared to some others, I will release it with a cool flashy video. It will show the stats and some nice flyby style imagery. It will also compare the looks to that of EVE's model. At that point the download for it will be available. If a color variant is released it will also get a shorter cinematic release video. It will be a while before I start doing this as I have to learn and set up lots of after effects stuff that I have never done before.

    Phase 7
    Tech II. There are three tech versions in EVE. Tech II ships are ships with similar hulls, but better stats or serve particular roles. Some might be interdictors, or logistic ships. Some might have better armor or sensors. The hulls usually have a different color scheme and additional bits added to differentiate their techyness. In order to make these I will need to take the original hulls, repaint them and fill them with new and improved systems. I am not sure how far I can take that but it is not really a priority. They do look cool though!

    Phase 8
    Tech III. Tech III ships would be the pinnacle of my capabilities with this project. Tech III ships are cruiser sized ships called Strategic Cruisers. I actually have no clue as to what their role is in EVE. I will figure it out. The unique things about these ships, is that their look is customizable. There are something like 4 or 5 sections of the hull that you choose and put together to create a ship. There might be 2 or more variants for that particular section of the hull. One aft section might be focused on shielding or one of the bridge sections might have more turret hardpoints than another bridge section. They are some of the most unique looking ships in EVE because of this. Almost no two are the same.

    How to implement this? Palettes. I will release the ships along with all possible hull modifications in a palliate. The ship core/capsule will probably be locked in place for these ships. The core will be in its own room and you will copy and past the hull segments to the ship. There will be lights and other indicators telling you where to place the hull segments. Everything will line up. It will be one hell of a project doing them! After that you can customize it further by adding modules and weapons.

    I know I seem ridiculously ambitious, but I am willing to do it. It's a long term project. I can't say that I expect to get this all done in even a years time. I am really looking forward to it though so I hope you guys are excited!

    So with the addition of gates to the game, I thought I would take a look at the ones from EVE. You can expect a video on some of them later this week. They will be scaled down appropriately. I will be working on some of them one at a time alongside my normal ship projects.

    I will also make note that the largest structures and ships (class battleship and higher) will require a sector size of larger than a kilometer. That is the default in game currently, though it might change with the introduction of the new FTL systems. For the most part, the largest of ships will be there for looks or to be used as capital ships (even if EVE classifies them differently, it's up to the player). I suspect anything larger than battlecruisers will not be used often in battles. If the game is ever capable of rendering a 2 kilometer long ship at the frame rates we get with current kilometer long ships then I will probably release capital ships as stations. It all depends on how well the game performs in the future as 1000m long ships is pushing it for most players to the absolute max. I can render all 20000 segments (2 kilometers of ship at 10 fps) the game lets me, but I bet others can render no more than 5000 at a time and still have issues. Not to fret, there are still dozens of ships that are under 500 meters long and they are all gorgeous and interesting and I am sure anyone will find something that they like in the end. :D

    Here's an update video posted yesterday. Essentially you will see a bit less from me as I put together some stuff for release videos.


    Also, here is a teaser of another part of this project. I am sure you will figure it all out. I'll be streaming on twitch tomorrow for anyone that catches this post at 5pm-ish EST. You'll get a better look at this there and a vid will be posted to YT for anyone that misses it on Friday.

    Holy fuck a gate.
    Aren't those the size of motherships? The long ones, too.
    Then there's the even bigger ones that jump between regions :3

    EDIT: I just read up on gate sizes.
    Standard Gate Size - 2km
    Constellation Gate Size - 7.5km
    Region Gate Size- 10km
    Border Gate Size- 15km
    Smuggler Gate Size - 10km
