    Hi again, it's been a very long time since I've done much on starmade, but I'm popping in to give a slight update. The Hyperion Heavy cruiser exterior is completely finished and major progress is being made on ship systems and interior. I can boldly say that for its size, this ship will pack a punch as well as offer a full role play interior. Also, the fighter bays are nearing completion with an advanced launching and recall logic setup.

    For future plans, the Hyperion is now currently the first of the Babylon 5 capital class ships that will be released simply because it is now the furthest along. I've had some setbacks on Omega, but I still have my current progress saved on it and plan to complete it further down the line. I hope you enjoy the news and look forward to the release of one of the first 1:1 ratio earth alliance capitals.

    Some of your older content, like the Outrider, have had their images lost due to interweb shenanigans.

    Yeah, it's sad because I don't have those images anywhere anymore too. I've been slowly working on updating everything....it's a slow process when my motivation keeps going back to my B5 ships.

    Here's some interior images so far on Hyperion. So far I have two decks of crew Quarters with corridors arranged in ww1 trench layout zigzagging around to create defensible locations. Also 2 main cargo holds are completed with cargo lifts accessing the supply hatches. I still have a lot to go, but this will serve as the design basis I plan to carry through the ship. Systems are in place and fully functional leaving just the interior left to build and then she should be ready for release. I hope others are as excited as I am to get to play with this massive build.

    Both ships will be getting full interiors. So basically the works. This will detract from the systems being put into hyperion, but will surprisingly not affect Omega much. Most of the interior will be in the centrifuge of Omega. As far as the front of Omega goes, I used docked entities on turret docks so I could rotate them to the angle I wanted. I also had plans for thick armor plating in both to protect them some from small weapons fire. I'm still working out the kinks in my fighter return on Omega. Even though you don't see it in the show, the ends of the centrifuge were supposed to be able to launch fighters quickly just like Babylon 5, but wasn't implemented in the show just like the gigaton mines in the front or the 72 missile launchers on it's sides. Still, these were features of the ship that the original creator had intended to use.
