FrankRa's ships - Antares Shipyards

███ FrankRa's Thread. ███

Hello there, dear Starmadian(?). I'm FrankRa and I'm creating this thread to display my magnificent rubble collection!

Antares Industries

So I'm starting up a new fleet of ships that I can show off here for imaginary internet points!
Well, here it goes:

-AD-07 Razor
Your everyday throwaway cheap drone that does tickle damage and you still have because it looks pretty-ish.

Spoiler

-AD-34 Archer
Another slightly bigger cheap throwaway drone that attacks only when it has a 50/1 advantage.

Spoiler

-AD-03 Reaver
Yes, we got a huge robot into space to show it off. Big mean stompy murderbot. Bonus evil points for red eye.

Spoiler

-AF-11 Wasp - Atmospheric Fighter/Bomber
Finally a ship with a living human(?) inside of it. Uses lock on missiles to chase enemies around.

Spoiler

-AF-94 Vindicator Dropship
Standard issue space-whale looking dropship, but this one fires a volley of I-don't-know-how-many missiles at the ground before insertion.

Spoiler

-ESF-05 Firehawk Space Fighter
Recent build. A space fighter. In theory. This is what happens when you build something without planning and go with the flow. A downside of that is that the core ended up in a really weird and exposed place, waiting for SmEdit2 to fix that because I'm lazy to copy it all again. :p

Spoiler

(Will be updated as work in progress are finished and concepts are made work in progress...)
(All downloads will be available Soon™)

 

[Crimson-Artist]

these ships are awesome! and that robot! damn it why cant vehicles cores come any sooner!

 

[Captain Tankman]

I just love the Wasp Fighter/Bomber! I'd totally steal... I mean... Its a huge inspiration for my own fighters :P

And your giant robot would be epic as planetary defense station. The Body "docked" to the legs as a turret

Something like that was the original plan... Which occured to me mid-construction. The upper body as a turret for the legs. Too lazy to make it all over again to move the core, even though it took 1 hour (lol). So my excuse is that by making it 2-part it would leave the possibility of shooting the legs and sending the top part flying through space in a hilarious fashion.

Thank you! Assuming I don't suddenly die in the next short period of time there should be more ships coming! :D

I love the color scheme. White, yellow, and black and yellow striped blocks. Far out, man, far out.

All these look fantastic. Props.

Thank you! I forgot to put the hazard stripes in my latest one, thanks for reminding me. :P

Introducing the ESF-05 Firehawk to the catalog!

Spoiler: ...*ahem*

So, after a couple of months of hiatus, I've finally come back and resumed my ship quest! Today I bring you two (one and a half) brand new ships!

-AM-54 Concentrated Assimilation of Resources Vessel - CARV
The standard mining asset of the Allied Fleets. It comes with a really ineffective powerful salvage array. For defense it has heatseeking swarm missiles and 6 hull mounted light turrets.

Spoiler

This one also comes with a full basic interior, as you can see here.

Spoiler

-TS-09 Betelgeuse
A small shuttle used for personnel transportation. Meant to be almost fast.

Spoiler

More ships will be coming soon, as I've already begun working on them. So until then, farewell, dear Starmadian.

 

[Reilly Reese]

Oooh I like the shape of your Shuttle

 

[jstenholt]

Just as beautiful on the forums as they are serverside. Bravo, my friend.

 

[FrankRa]

Update!

*Today I finished the corvette I was working on, so I present to you:

-AC-37 Ember

Stealth assault corvette, design to sneak up on people and blast them away while they take a look at your shiny lights and stuff. It has pretty much a moderate everything in terms of stats.

Spoiler

And the actually good pic:

*I also updated the Firehawk with actually working weapon systems and a better look to fit the developing style of the ships (pentas and tetras good blocks).

Next up in the scale list is the frigate class, and also a racer that I'll do for funsies to put in the Hyperflux league.
Any suggestions are welcome!

 

[SomethingSlimy]

Your ship designs are fantastic. I especially like the ESF-05 Firehawk Space Fighter. It's like something a rich mercenary would fly around.

 

[Farel17]

that ember is awesome cant wait to try it out

Thank you, and yeah, you can always get a military main space fighter in the space black market!

Absolutely, just remember not to look too much at the stats and instead focus on the shiny. :P

 

[Farel17]

yup

Update!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, yesterday, while continuing with the construction of my destroyer (Soon™ in a forum near you), I had the wonderful idea of making a vertical ship with a strange look to it and absolutely bottom of the tier list colors (white is the supreme color). So this happened roughly after 4 hours of on/off building. Introducing the AX-99 Orpax Gunship!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler: Terribly Awesome Flavor Text!

[Armada Supervisor Briggs to Head Scientist Anterus - AFXL Headquarters - Main Hangar]

B: "Anterus, what the hell is this thing?"
A: "It's a ship prototype, sir! It's equipped with our latest [Uninteligible technobabble], It currently surpasses Equinox Shipyard's AC-37 Ember in every way!"
B: "So... you're telling me your hopeless alien research actually did something useful?"
A: "Yes! It uses our new mental link technology we reverse engineered from the IST ships! It requires only one crew member to operate!"
B: "Mental link? That's cute. Get in it."
A: "[Nervous Laughter]E-Excuse me, sir?"
B: "Get in it and pilot it, impress me, scientist. It's an order."
[Long Pause]
A: "[Scared voice]Yes, sir!"
...
A: "[Uninteligible Loud Screaming followed by otherworldly roar as the ship turns on]"
B:" Get it sorted, idiots, Equinox doesn't try to kill our pilots, I don't care if your alien toys are cool and all, I want a damn normal pilot seat or that thing or somebody is going to get executed."
[Crashing noises followed by Plasma Cannon fire]
B: "And the damage repairs from your "tests" are coming out of your pocket, Anterus. Briggs out."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-AX-99 Orpax
(Approval pending at the time of posting)

Spoiler: Pics

Another sneaky radar jammer ship (those are pretty damn good nowadays), use heatseekers with caution, as they're low damage but are explosive and can screw light hull up. It doesn't really have an interior yet because I made it in such a hurry, and between projects, as I'm jumping straight into frigate/destroyer next month. But there you go!
Much thanks to AAlexandrosTGreat, for naming it, telling me it looked cool and almost making turrets for it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wasp also got some love as I saw it was getting a little bit old and needed to get in line with my other ships. Added explosive effect, which I have grown to like a lot over the past weeks.

Spoiler

And that's it for this update, my fellow spacemans. And don't worry, sw33t big ships are finally coming, so let the thread die once again until those are done!

 

[Farel17]

Dam nice ships
