Nova Fleet Dynamics - Building a better future today! (Nest of Orion faction)

I really like the trident argos.

I really like the trident argos.

I have to say I agree, something about the colors that just seems right with the shape of it.

HELLO!

Well, it's been a while since I've made an update on this thread, and we've got lots of new stuff that's been built since the last update!

First off, the NFD Chippewa class fighter, F/A-140B.

Second, the NFD Iroquois class scout corvette, CRV-105E.

Third, the NFD Quebec class logistics/support vessel, LSV-110H. This one's asymmetrical, and instead of having specific attached systems, it has attachment points for logic-activated systems, such as the mobile dockyard and salvage array.

Fourth, and this one is still a WIP, NFD Lakota, DDG-203C.

Also, I got bored and drew a thing-

For those interested, we're also hosting a competition on our server-

So is the big drawing ship actually a thing or just a drawing?

 

[JimmyJamba]

Very nice Debris, as usual.

One question, does the Lakota provide pain relief?

Spoiler: Pain Relief

Going off the size of the windows, the ship itself would likely be about 3km long.

So no. :P

Downscale?

So I'm liking this new art style...

just build it so that the hanger on the side is the size of your standard dropship hangar. Shouldn't be to big that way.

if you can't fit a Lakota in each hangar, you're doing it wrong

 

[FlyingDebris]

oh btw

oh btw

To many ships cloud the focus of the image they are also too tidy and "normal".

Try to give character to each ship, some damage, backstory to give it the feel of being a fleet that did fight through war.
Scratches won't hurt

Also the background kinda repeats thats ok if you are going for the unity image kind of feel.

Anyways just some constructive criticism

Nice image though

A fleet fresh out of the shipyards, headed for the frontlines, full of optimism. They don't even have a scratch on them yet.

The poor bastards have no idea what awaits them.

Make all the turrets on the ships point in random directions to seem as if the new recruits are on watch ready to fire.

The background's color could also help denote this a color like yellow is a sign of optimisim but don't overuse it to much.

White as you have on the ship would blend well...

The background repeating like it does might not denote that this fleet is a wide mix of people from different areas of NFD (Empire?) who have come to fight for freedom.

Why would you have recruits ready to fire when you're still at base? I do agree with the point about the background looking a little more optimistic, though. Maybe have some dark red near the left side to indicate the trouble they're getting into?

Recruits are refueling to go into battle they must be near because that refueling station would be far away from where they started since they started with full tanks thats why I assumed they are ready for combat.

 

[Winterhome]

that's a homebase, not a refueling station

 

[Zackey_TNT]

Interesting, I thought those tanks where for fuel storage.

Very well then the turret bit could be left out.

 

[FlyingDebris]

In the actual NFD stations those tanks are filled with factory enhancers.

I just noticed that these pictures of ships are actual ships you've made in game. Wow they are nice!
