An update on the alesia:

These are the very basics by now. I'll propably change the front end make it look more like the original concept, but its a good start I guess.
Once again due some problems with my old image hosting service, here is the concept of the alesia:

 

[Keptick]

You may want to consider changing for an image hoster that doesn't have a bandwith limit (such as imgur) when posting on forums. I can't see any of your images because you exceeded the bandwidth limit.

 

[Captain Tankman]

Great -.- It was all fine earlier this day....
I'm uploading my images to imgur right now. Expect the pics soon

 

[Captain Tankman]

Okay I refreshed the post with updated pics I took just a few seconds ago

 

[Keptick]

Thanks a lot!

All the ships look great by the way :D

 

[Captain Tankman]

I have to thank you

 

[Captain Tankman]

Another small update on the alesia.
The main hull is almost finished.
Things to be done:
-fixing front end
-adding engine section and engines
-equip proper turrets
-interior (only the bridge is somewhat done by now)
-smoothing out the hull
-adding details and decals to the hull
-energy and shield systems
-Add more DAKKA!!!! (I may build some missile arrays as main weapon)

Spoiler: Pictures

The main beam turret is ready!

And here is the bridge

 

[Captain Tankman]

MOOAARRR DAKKAAA!!!: Check!

I mounted 18 new and fresh mk3 amc turrets, a big ion missile array and added some detail on the beam turret:

New multi purpose amc turrets:

Ion missiles:

Beam turret:

The turrets certainly look great

 

[Captain Tankman]

added a few details, bits, and pieces to the alesia:
Front view:

side view with new underside support structure:

View through the support structures (bottom and and top):

Detail of the bridge exterior:

and I changed the missile turret a bit:

Next thing to do: engine section!

 

[Captain Tankman]

accelerate to 88mph!!!
The Alesia has now engines or at least the engine hulls

By now they are only empty tubes with an open front-end but that is going to change during the next days.

Thanks to BearishMushroom for helping me decide on wether I should use three or four engines

 

[Captain Tankman]

The exterior of the Alesia is nearly finished.
The engines are now ready to go, but I may add some more detail to the rear-end.
I removed the missile turret for asthetic reasons, but added 2 missile systems(both guided) and a beam system into the ship itself and added a second beam turret to the underside, too.
Anyway here we go with the pictures:

last but not least to do: the interior!

 

[Rumcajz]

You did a good job on this vessel. It is amasing. Good job!

 

[Captain Tankman]

Thank you very much Rumcajz

Unfortunately I had no time over the past few days to do some stuff, but now with school finished and all preparations done for university I got lots of time to take Galactic Forge Industries back to the glory ol' days
So expect some more updates soon :D

 

[Captain Tankman]

The Alesia Class Attack Frigate is done! She needed more love than I expected but now she is ready to kick some space ass ;D

Spoiler: More Exterior Pictures

Spoiler: Interior Pictures

Core Room with circualating lights (my pc is unable to record proper gifs, so only a static pic, sorry)

Main Hallway

Energy Tank Room with pulsing lines (just for fun with logic)

Airlock -CAUTION: Explosive decompression! (shoots you out of the ship by opening the door)

Bridge

I will upload the ship if somebody wants me to

btw. Is there a way in embed imgur albums?

Sadly I don't believe so. Just individual images

 

[Rohen]

I really like the design of this ship. Not only the hull, the interior also, i especially like the core room.

A question about the turrets. Lately i noticed that i have to repair, or replace my turrets more often after fights/ pirate attacks. Seeing that you use turrets in a simmilar size and positions, i wanted to ask if you have experienced the same?

Okay Thanks

Thank you! I guess my next core room will be even better, assuming I gonna build another big ship

Yeah. But I guess its because turrets of this size don't have much shields if any, but they don't cost much so you can afford the credits to replace them often.

Speaking of turrets, I'm still not really satisfied with the cannon turrets. Just just don't look right. Anybody got some suggestions?

That looks badass.
I love the backend the most of the ship, which is good. Because that is what you look at the most when flying a ship. (when in 3rd person view)

 

[Captain Tankman]

Thanks Zeno! I tried to make the backend as good as the front and any other part of the ship. But due the fact that the rear part of the alesia was just a kind of grey block, it was very hard to achieve.


Anyway I just wanted to show you what I'm currently working on. Something different from my usual style and still a work-in-progress.
