Hello All.

this is my latest work in progress. It's basically incorporating all of the lessons I have learned and the new patches and configs too.Its been a fun experience and this is my first dab at something a bit more artist rather than just a jumble of bricks. Anyway here is a ship for going to dark places.

Thankyou

That looks very nice, would love to try it out. You planning on publishing it via starmadedock community content? (if you weren't.....you should, the ship looks very nice!
(P.s what about shield stats?)

thanks for the feedback!
Wow is that actually a thing? Looks pretty next/gen. Most of my ship look a bit like stations as I tend to build up and out as well as long. priority is given to turret freedom of movement and firing corridors. I like to have all my weapons face the enemy.

Thanks for you opinion. The shield stats are 138000 with 10100 regen. I'm a bit nervous about putting anything up for that as I've never done that before but I'll give it a go. I'm planning a increase power to weapons and there is a mining ship under construction too.

Thank you.

I'm trying to keep it as lean as possible.

A very unique shape, good detailing, color variance, and lighting, lackluster engine design, interesting looking interior, and poor core placement.

I like it. Let's see more from you.

7.5/10 in its class.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah engines aren't my strong point and it's still a WIP in that it may get redesigned due to poor performance with the beam weapon. I agree about the core placement. In many way this is an experiment getting ready for the main event. The most recent refit has a more conventional shape but... well you'll see.

Updated:

As of this moment all explorer class or lower ships are restricted to the home system after the incident at DS Alpha. The latest advances in shield tech has fallen into the hands of pirates and as a result the new Voidhawk DSE is being recalled and refitted with advanced weapons, shielding and a Kryotheum weapon core (wear a sweater and I hope you like blue). A buffer zone will need to be established and that means an incursion into an unknown and hostile system.
