I love the Velator and the Sisters ship designs you have! I completely refit the Velator on the EE server, giving it tones of energy and energy regen, modest shields (not enough for facing pirates 3x its size though!), 8 salvaging beams arranging in 2 blisters of 4, and an inadequate beam weapon. The refit took forever (over 5 hours), finding holes in the ship everywhere was a pain, and even needed to change a tad of the interior to fit the power coils from port to starboard.
Battle-damage pic's:
2nd Encounter with pirates:
front looks mostly fine this time...
Also need to make better turrets, they all died. XD
The piercing damage from the pirates ravaged the interior and systems, too bad I didn't think to take a picture of them then :/
I have also started refitting your Sisters of Eve ship, and after deciding I didn't like the interior, I scrapped all of it and left only the shell. And even then I am expanding it to fit a docking port inside of it (main complaint is that docking port areas are too big! That drone bay in the Velator is perfect, but the docking module is too darn big!) and have those tube sections on top be a turret and an airlock for the ship. Might extend the back a bit farther, and change the front up a bit to make it not look like a sheep.
As you can see, the docking port takes up a TON of room! I needed to knock out my previous roof and raise it, and also extend the bay doors back two blocks! I might just need to elongate the back half of the ship to incorporate engineering, and modules. Not sure what to do about the drone bay up front, looks out of place and useless. Might make it into a doorway or something, or break out the force fields...
Will make the ring into a thruster ring with engines studding it, got a cool design in my head.
Thanks for the cool ships, always fun to poke around inside of them and see what makes them tick, and what I can do to improve them! I know you base all their stats off of one ship, but I wanted something that also could preform against EE's MONSTROUS pirates after being raided 4 times. Was thinking about working on Dragoon, but I thought something smaller first would be smarter. Plus, the Dragoon is too big for my computer to run at a smooth 45 fps, it drops down to 20 when looking at it. (was 12 before .18999).
Besides, I thought I would just wait until the Algos came out, as I have an affinity for Gallantian designs.
