The Black

    The Black 1.01

    If i ever die in a ship battle i want to die to this.
    i have no idea what the godship is or what the coldspace is, its weapons are not listed, and i have no idea why it was called the black. ... 10 OUATA 10!
    Wonderful ship, are you going to update it to current with all the new stuff?

    No, i'll probably just rebuild it entire following a similar style and theme. Glad you like it though despite it's age
    Every ship you make is just so amazing :D

    *blush* Anyone can do it with a little imagination and drive
    AMAZING but how do i download it and yes i know im an idiot but its not working for me :(
    Cool, but evryone is able to run away/live so far that it will take hours to get there without jump drive
    Orphaniel
    Orphaniel
    Yes indeed, this ship is from before the age even of new weapons and shields, though they were updated, jumpdrives were not.
    Man it's sooooooo good looking! Wow. But please can you add jumpdrive and update the weapons?
    Orphaniel
    Orphaniel
    I've already had to update the weapons, they are current, save for lacking effects and not having anything like a laser. I probably will not add a jump drive as I have no substantial room to put it, so if there was one, it would be the slowest jump drive in the history of the world. Still, I am glad you like it.
    It makes me feel evil!
    my first time on a Titan so, I really appreciate the red walkway lighting to help me find the bridge. took me a while to find my way out of the dock but that's probably cause i'm a noob. thx man it's great!

    This was made before display modules - I'd probably put signage around nowadays, the bridge (or AI core) is a bit hard to find tucked away as it is. Glad you like it!
    A real joy to fly :) Retreat? What's that?

    It's the thing those other ships are doing when they are not busy exploding or surrendering. I am glad you like it, even after all this time.
    Looks nice but what is the load command
    Orphaniel
    Orphaniel
    Thank-you, this is a common question, actually. you want "/load "catalogshipname" "nameyouwant"" so you'd type "/load "The Black" "The Black"
    WOW! It realllllly packs a punch
    Amazing details. Amazing weapons. Amazing everything. Missiles one shot a planet :)

    They do? wow. News to me
    Hey Orph. This is an amazing ship, I'm just in awe. By the way, I was abe to find Masochist4Melons's "Rapture", here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyCSBqIKLQs.
    They look like inverse versions of each other, but anyway, this ship is great. Do you mind if I use it as my capital ship?

    Thankyou for the link, I had one of my admin compatriots show me not long after that last review went up, as for using it as your flagship, feel free, that is why they are there to be downloaded, I hope it serves you well
    It looks kind of like an inversion of Masochist4Melon's 'Rapture'. Wheras the Rapture was light and sleek, the Black is dark and menacing. Both are highly detailed, and trust me when I say that it's a massive compliment to your ability for me to compare your work to his.

    Very well done, Orphaniel.

    I am glad you like it! I did a search for the ship of which you speak, but I could not find it. Still, it does embody an extreme of evil blackness.
    Great looking ship, scary as hell, and lots of space for extra weapons.
    Wow, amazing ship! I am sad to see that nobody has noticed the reference yet (like dude, seriously, shark head with shark frigate inside? and that music in your overview? FREAKIN' AWESOME!). Huge Sword of the Stars fan here.

    Anyway, ship is incredibly detailed, it was a real treat to walk around it's massive corridors (got lost a few times). The docking bays are nicely sized so I could dock my already-existing ships. Seems to have some powerful weapons, although they are vanilla (lacking any slave systems). The missiles made a whole asteroid dissapear, so I certainly wouldn't be on the receiving end of them.

    All in all, 5/5 for beauty and design, but 4/5 star overall, simply because I know it's better to make it more battle-worthy with the new updates (like slave systems, weapons colors, etc)

    Thank-you for your detailed review. I've been meaning to update to weapons (and shields) but it's so horribly tiresome to do so; I've done it on a few other ships but they only serve as proof of how cumbersome it will be with an incredibly complicated and internally dense ship like The Black.

    I'll get around to it one of these days.
    Its AMAZING!!! Though I can't find the core, does anyone know where it is?
    Orphaniel
    Orphaniel
    It's not hidden, if that is what you are wondering; there MIGHT be doors closing off the chamber, not sure if the saved version here has the doors open or closed... in any acy it's.. uhh.. hard to describe, I suppose the best advice I can give you is to target the ship and just home in on it, it's up some lit ramps next to some windows.

    Glad you like it though!
    This thing is big, tonnes of detail, and one of the best designs around. Will need retrofitting, but is still really scary because it's so good-looking.

    It does need retrofitting, but it's such a pain with my weapon designs.
    Love it, any easy way to access the bobby AI turrets? They are dug in pretty deep. Am i missing an easier way to access them?
    Orphaniel
    Orphaniel
    I was sure I'd replied to this already... weird.

    The larger turrets have access hatches at the top, the smaller ones do not. but you can set the ai by selecting them as an astronaut and going to the AI menu. :)

    OR you can just turn them all on through the structure panel by going to "turret docking system collective" then "Engage all AI"
    Great ship! Everyone is scared of me!

    Rawrrrr! I am glad it is intimidating
