    Nice! Any estimated release / how is the current progress on the carrier and a defense station?

    they are nearly done but I'm actually working on a project by from someone else right now so they are on hold. if you read some of the older campaign posts here then you will get a hint of the actual progress

    Right now the only ship that can drop ember drop pods is the Pele. Thankfully i just released a new version of it that has logic incorporated in it that will auto open and close the pled doors of the launching bay. in the future i may release a version that has a auto launching mechanism so you can have a proper drop.

    the Campaigns have really got me sketching again. I've made some character sketches of the various characters at Crimson Corp


    I've also made some character descriptions at the Deviantart post

    As a fellow graphic artist, thats some pretty cool stuff. Loving your ships mate, but I'm having some issues with the Pele refit. It seems that the turrets don't agree with the ship right now, and are blasting themselves and the mother vessel to pieces. Normally the ship can take on a substantially larger foe without much issues, but the turrets tend to fire on the ship while trying to get at the enemy. I've run a temporary fix, by jetisoning all standarized turrets and changing them out for Hydra and fury missile batteries that use lock-ons, which fire outwards before aquiring their target and homing in. This seems to work well, as I can fly the ship in combat maneuvers, and focus all of the ships turret firepower on a single target. Makes incredibly short work of pirate stations, but I wish it could do more with the other weapons systems. Dunno if theres an overall fix for this, to force the turrets to keep from firing or what not when the ship is blocking the firing arc.

    thank you. its always good to hear from fellow artists

    the issue of the turrets destroying the mothership unfortunately is a known bug atm. I really hope schema fixes it soon cuz a lot of my turret designs are forming around dumb missiles being like artillery cannons more than the Cannon+Pulse combo.

    when i was doing the refit of the pele i did not combat test the turrets and was completely unaware of this bug. in retrospect it was probably a good idea as the prototype would have been heavily damaged but i was umber the impression that the bullets of the turrets would just harmlessly collide with the hull of the mothership rather than destroy it. so again I'm terribly sorry you experienced this.

    It's fine, I solved it well enough with your other turret products, just letting you know there are some bugs that need working out. I'm also having issues with the propeller drive. And no, I haven't been messing with logic circuits :P The system works, but not well enough. Top speed with drag on the server is something like 3 km/h, at least with vanilla drag.

    btw thanks for the watch on deviantart :)

    i've noticed the slow speed of the propeller drive. i had to change the circuit that it used slightly in order to make it more stable. the recent update caused the faster circuit i was using to break after only a few seconds.

    the overall slow speed of the cruse control may have to do with the relative underpowered thrust of the push defensive effect. I've noted this to people and i hope that in the future this gets buffed since as a defensive effect its completely outclasses by normal thrusters. as it stands now it has no reason to exist.

    Aye, Min!

    This is head ov Engineerin', Andrew Montague speak'n fur Crimson Corp.

    Too all our customers. Its bin...som time since the disappear'nce ov the Crimson-Artist. We ar...*sign* we ar mov'n on wit our build schedule despite the recent events.

    until furth'a notis, I shall be conducting the catalog updates. As at the moment I'm the only qualified person to speak aboot thees ships. I've had mah hands in all ov um anyways!

    Today we we hav a litt'al project the Crimson-Artist had bin work'n on before he vanished. Its a new kind of Turret th'at functions like a separate cannon.

    We're call'in it Autocannons. Hav a look.

    Sentinel Class Autocannon



    ​
    Generation: N/A
    Role: Autocannon, Proximity Turret, Supplementary firepower
    Mass: 45.9
    L/H/W: 15m/5m/9m
    Power Regen: 5,364.9 e/sec
    Thrust: 0
    Shields: 1,391 Regen: 66 s/sec
    Arsenal: 3 Shredder Arrays (210 DPS), 2 Smart Cannons (Lock on Missile Dam: 300-Punch through)
    Price: 420,771 Credits

    Something of a experiment done while back. With the recent Schemadyne software update it could finally be realized. The Sentinel is the first of a new kind of turret, One that supplements your ships forward cannons.

    Designed to turn any docking port into a extra damage output. The Sentinel packs 3 Assault grade Shredder Arrays as well as a new kind of Cannon. Smart Cannons use Target lock missile technology to seek out its targets. They also use Armor-Piercing Warheads to give an extra punch.

    Dragoon Class Autocannon



    ​

    Generation: N/A
    Role: Autocannon, Proximity Missile pod
    Mass: 20.3
    L/H/W: 7m/5m/7m
    Power Regen: 1,662.7 e/sec
    Thrust: 0
    Shields: 527 Regen: 33 s/sec
    Arsenal: 8 Target-lock missiles (Lock on Dam: 150- Punch Through)
    Price: 206,490 Credits

    The Fury Turret was just the beginning. New research on improving the tech behind it has created the Dragoon. A Autocannon, the Dragoon is designed to supplement your ships natural weapons with Target-lock missiles.

    We've included a shot of the first weapons test on a target using hardened hulls. As you can see a single volley of missiles using Armor-Piercing warheads can absolutely wreck the toughest of defenses.

    Th'ats all we hav fur you at the moment.

    Please stay tuned fur more updates.

    "Not fur us"
    *begins to weld the plating on to the ship*
    "The Crimson-Artist wanted these ships done. And i'm not aboot to disa'point 'im"

    D
    *incredulous*
    "You need rest, Monty. You'll ware yourself out"
    *Montague ignores him*
    "I'm serious, Monty. This is different from what your use to."

    Montague
    "Believe me, laddy. I've had worse"
    *Grabs another Plate and starts welding that in place*

    D
    "You been up for nearly 3 cycles straight work'n"
    "I've seen no less than 30 people come up to you asking about some kind of problem elsewhere in the company."
    "About half the company didn't show up to work today, again."
    "Carmine shrank back into her core and refuses to talk to anyone"
    "That Snake, CC Agent. Whats his name? Eugene? No ones seen him in lunar phases."
    "On top of that you're doing the Catalog updates now."
    "Did I leave anything out?"

    Montague
    "They're ma problems not yurs"
    *his blow torch suddenly fizzles and goes out*
    "EH! I'm dry 'ear! Som one gim'me a drink!"
    *one of the engineers throws him a Canister filled with fluid*
    *Montague then discharges the empty canister from his blow torch and plugs the fresh one in. he then continues with his work*

    D
    "This is too much. Even for you."
    *sign*
    "I don't even know whats going on anymore."
    "Ever since that day everyone's been getting less and less done. no one smiles anymore, they walk slower, take longer breaks, give each other hot foots more...they've lost hope"
    "Look at you. You've got no experience running a company like this."
    "At some point you just gotta say "I'm done"
    "And walk away"

    Montague
    *stops welding and lifts his goggles to look at D*
    *points down the way*
    "The Doors th'at way."
    "Walk"
    "Me 'nd the boys 'ere will be stay'n as long as it takes to git this done"

    D
    *looks at the door then back at Montague*
    "The Crimson-Artist's opinion of a successor is his doll, Carmine. And shes MIA"
    "She isn't even managing the blueprint system. Your building blind"
    "She can run everything in the shipyard all by herself but one mistake and she goes all emo on us.
    "pfff, Some AI"
    "Face it, this Company is finished"

    Montague
    *Gets up, takes off his goggles and walks toward D in an intimidating manner. Looming over him*
    *Points toward a Pedestal Terminal on one of the walls while looking D straight in the eyes*
    "Apologize too the lady. Now"

    D
    "What?"

    Montague
    "She can still hear."
    "Apologize. NOW!"

    D
    *looks at the Pedestal Terminal then back at Montague*
    "To a curvy bunch of 1s and 0s? pfff Never"

    Montague
    *Grabs D by the collar and lifts him off the ground*
    *The other engineers stop what their doing to look*
    "Look, boy. You work fur the Crimson-Artist. He depends on Carmine. Carmine Depends on him. You disrespect her, you disrespect him!"
    "Now Apologize!"

    D
    *Maintaining his cool*
    "...And this is the part where you make me care?"

    Montague
    *snorts*
    *Drops D and goes back to work on the ship*

    D
    *dusts himself off*
    "Figures..."
    "I'm out."
    *Starts walking toward the exit*

    "See ya"

    Montague
    *suddenly stops working, back still turned to D*

    "Th'at...was until he came"
    "At furst I tho't he was nuts. Talk'in aboot try'in to cure the radiation from the environment. No one new anyt'ing aboot th'at so we all ignored 'im"
    "But th'n, slowly, things start'd too change."
    "The water became pure, the trees n' grass start'd grow'in, the skies began to clear. Even the creatures disappear'd. "
    "He did it. It took um solar cycles but he did it."
    "Ma People and ma planet was saved and it was all thanx to 'im"
    "So wen he asked if anyone ov us wan'ed too work fur 'im most ov us jumped in."

    Aye, Min

    Andrew Montague 'ere again, wit an'oder Catalog update

    Today, we hav som'ting special fur you. A be'uty th'at I personally had a touch in design'n.

    Bash yur Foes wit a nice booming tip.

    I give you, The Nusku!


    Nusku Class Fighter






    ​
    Role: Anti-Fighter, Specialist Fighter, Melee Fighter
    Generation: III
    Mass: 81.6
    L/H/W: 21m/7m/13m
    Power Regen: 4,742.6 e/sec
    Thrust: 99.6
    Shields: 2,042 Regen: 60 s/sec
    Arsenal: 2 Shredder Arrays (160 DPS-Stop), 2 Target-Lock Missiles (Lock on [Dam: 300]- Punch Through), 2 Cluster Missile Arrays (Cluster [Dam: 137.5]-Punch Through), 2 Cutter Beams (Dam: 40), Boom Lance (Damage Pulse [Dam: 230]-Punch Through)
    Extra: Radar Jammer
    Price: 957,627 Credits

    While we have used Pulse technology to augment the power of other weapons, never once before has it been used on its own offensively. Through extensive testing a Powerful new weapons has been invented. We call it the "Boom Lance". The Nusku was designed to utilize this new type of weapon while also employing more conventional ways of combat.

    Some new design choices have made the Nusku the first Asymmetrical Ship we make. Standard assortment of weapons have been installed. Target-lock missiles and Cutter beams can easily cut down targets. Most of the space has been devoted to the Boom Lance. A Powerful melee weapon that requires pilots to ram its tip into a target and firing. The small but powerful aura of the pulse will vaporize anything it touches. The Shredder arrays have use Anti-Gravity rounds to hold targets in place as the Lance works best on stationary targets. To increase defensive capabilities of the ship, a Radar Jammer has been installed as well as powerful Cluster Missiles to keep enemies away.

    Ohh it brings a tear too me eye too see 'er in action.

    We hav more too come, friends.

    *The fiery particles of a open rift gate fill the room*
    *Half a dozen rift tech members work at their stations in the relatively small room. *

    "Ma'am, Dim sync rate is falling!
    "The Dimensional Trackers still have no target"

    "Theres too much AM energy flowing through!"

    Joyce
    "NO! It'll work this time!"
    "It has to"

    Efram
    *looks the gate and then back at Joyce*
    "Joyce! Cut it now!"

    Joyce
    "Shut up!"
    "The coding will work!"

    Juanita
    "Particle shielding is critical!"
    "10% and dropping!"
    *Grabs on to amulet around her neck*
    "Divines...Help us"

    Joyce
    *looks at Juanita in fear and then at the other crew members*
    *sign*
    "Damn it!"
    *slams on the Emergency shut down button*

    *The gate fizzles and slowly disappears*
    *everyone in the room except Joyce breaths a sign of relief*

    *Still shaking*
    "T-thank you, Joyce"

    *turns back toward the crew*
    "We're running it again!"

    *All of the other crew members display both shock and fear*

    Efram
    "Joyce, Give it up already!"
    "we've been through this test a million times already"

    *the other crew members start murmuring nodding in agreement*

    Joyce
    *starts to type on her terminal while standing*
    "13 times, actually."
    *Snorts*
    *continues to type*
    "It'll work this time, I promise"

    *the crew members continue to murmur among themselves*

    Efram
    "Theres nothing for the gate to connect to. We're running a gaping gate here"
    "That nutty Scrip of yours is only good at nearly getting all of us killed!"
    *other crew members voice their agreement*
    "Joyce, face it. We can't bring him back"

    Joyce
    *Tenses up and stops typing*
    *looks up from terminal at Efram*
    "Theres a way! Its possible"
    *starts typing again*
    "I just need to make a few modifications to the coding."
    "We're getting closer. I know it!"

    Efram
    "In theory. You of all people should know that its not possible for some one to survive completely cut off in the rift."
    "Even if it were possible, trying to soft mod the existing systems to do what they weren't designed for is just inviting trouble"

    Juanita
    "And what of Carmine, Ma'am?"
    "She was operating the systems that day."
    "I would Imagine any kind of Program of that type would need the system caches of the time as a basis to work off of"
    "Have you spoken to her since?"

    Joyce
    "I don't need her!"
    *Typing becomes more furious*
    "I can do this without that crazy sprite"
    "If she had just listen to me earlier we could've avoided this"
    *finishes typing*
    "There! That'll work!"
    "Juanita, Efram you two start up gate preparations. Everyone else to your stations!"
    "Now!"

    *The door to the room suddenly opens and several security guards file in*

    Efram
    *Notices Guards*
    "Not this time, Joyce"

    Joyce
    *notices the guards moving toward her*
    *looks at Efram*
    "You didn't...!?"

    Efram
    "Don't look at me, but I don't blame 'um"
    "You're endangering the the rest of the shipyard"
    "We've already had one tragedy."
    "We can't afford another."

    Joyce
    *Furious*
    "Efram, You..."
    *looks at Juanita*
    "Juanita! Please Punch your brother in the face for me."

    Juanita
    *withdraws behind the other crew members avoiding eye contact with her*
    "Sorry, Joyce"

    Joyce
    *looks puzzled*
    "please punch him?"

    *Security Guards surround Joyce*

    Security Guard
    "Joyce. Rothchild would like a word with you."

    *Security Guards move in closer to Joyce. The other crew members move in as well*

    Joyce
    *looks into the security camera*
    *points in to the camera*
    "Rothchild! Don't send your Freak squad to interrupt me!"
    "I'm in the middle of some Important work! If you want something then move your over-sized butt down here and tell me yourself!"

    Efram
    "Just stop, Joy-Agatha. Your putting everyone at r..."

    Joyce
    "What did you say...?"
    *points to a random guard*
    "You! Come 'ere!"

    Security Guard
    *looks around at the other guards puzzled then slowly approaches Joyce*
    "Yes, Ma'am?"

    Joyce
    "Give me that!
    *Suddenly grabs the guard's baton*

    Security Guard
    "Hey! You can't just..."

    Joyce
    "You backstabbing..."
    "AARRRGH!"
    *Proceeds to beat Efram senselessly with it*

    Efram
    "AHHH! AWWW! UUUGHHHH!"
    "STOP!"

    *Another guard loads a dart gun with a vial of some kind of fluid*
    *Fires a dart at Joyce*
    *The dart hits her in the back and injects the fluid then explodes into nothingness*

    Joyce
    *Fading*
    "CARMINE!...AN..SW.ER...me..."
    *The Pedestal Terminal remains silent*
    *collapses on the ground, sleeping*

    *Everyone in the room remains silent*
    *Guards move in and grab her*
    * The guards cuff her and one slings her body over his shoulder*
    *one of the guards goes over to check on Efram*

    Efram
    *A guard helps him up*

    *relieved*
    "What else is new? Its over now"

    "Please do take care of her"

    Security Guard
    "Don't worry, we'll put her in her suite till she calms down"
    *The guards file out of the room with Joyce in tow*

    Efram
    *still massaging wounds*

    "Sir, Joyce's up"

    Joyce
    "The fool knows that I would never let that happen"
    *slams against the barrier again*

    Rothchild
    "He may but your actions lately suggest otherwise"

    "Joyce...we Really can't keep doing this"

    Joyce
    "Of course we can! just get your girlfriend to give me the system cache from that day and you can let me out like usual"

    *head subtly shifting back and forth between Joyce and Helga*

    "Carmine! you dolt"
    "Don't play dumb! I've seen that pillow of yours with her on..."

    Rothchild
    *quickly deactivates the audio Sensors on Joyce's side*
    *Joyce continues to ramble on without noticing*
    *Nervously turns to Helga*
    "Heh she means it metaphorically...Carmine has helped me on numerous assignments"

    Helga
    *Raises an eyebrow*
    "..."

    Rothchild
    *Reactivates the audio sensors*

    Joyce
    "...nd he says you probably sleep with it every night!"

    Rothchild
    *clears throat*
    "Thats good and all but not this time"
    "You know that I can't do that. No one can"
    "Carmine hasn't spoken to anyone in lunar phases"

    Joyce
    "Then like I said. Let me get back to my work!"
    "I can bring him back!"
    "Just let me try!"

    Rothchild
    "I'm sorry Joyce, the company is going through a rough time."
    "Monty is trying his best but..."
    "Between the public pressure and the loss of our friends on that day"
    "Its too soon to try"
    "Sorry"

    Joyce
    "You Pathetic loser!"
    *Furiously slams on the barrier again then pounds on it repeatedly*
    "When I get outta here I'll....I'll"
    *holding back tears*
    "I'll..."
    *Exhausted, she stops pounding on the barrier and slumps to the ground head hung low*
    "I-I...can't...look forward..."
    *Can be heard sobbing*

    *Rothchild and Helga look at each other*

    Helga
    *tilts head and makes a throat slashing motion*

    Rothchild
    *Nods*
    *Cuts the audio sensors on their side*

    Helga
    "If I may, why are we putting up with her or rather why would the Crimson-Artist put up with her?"
    "She's clearly emotionally unstable and is exhibiting sociopathic tendencies"

    Rothchild
    "It was his call. He has his reasons"

    Helga
    "Shes been in and out of that cell more times than I can count."
    "If it were up to me she'd be gone and sent to a nut house on some far away planet"

    Rothchild
    "You don't know what I know"
    "Just trust me on this"
    *Reactivates the audio sensors*
    "Joyce, I know its hard for you to accept but you'll be staying here for the foreseeable future"

    Joyce
    "..."

    Rothchild
    *Squats down to get to eye level with Joyce*
    "Joyce, I know why you do this."
    "What you're feeling right now"
    "What he means to you"

    Joyce
    *looks up*
    *Face all red from tears*

    Rothchild
    "And to be perfectly honest its cute"
    "Understandable but cute"

    Joyce
    *looks away*
    *softly*     "Creep"

    Rothchild
    *signs*
    "You tried your best to save everyone on that day. And they haven't forgotten it."
    "He would've been proud"
    "They're worried about you, thats all"
    *runs fingers through his hair*
    "Its a reality thats hard to chew, but."
    "Until Carmine comes out of this slump on her own you just have to accept that theres nothing we can do and just keep going"
    *Reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pair of glasses*
    *presents the pair to Joyce*
    "Look forward onto tomorrow."
    "Like he always says"
    *Accesses his Fabricator*
    *Slides the pair through the barrier*

    Joyce
    *Glasses stop just in front of her*
    *ignores the glasses*

    Rothchild
    *gets up*
    "I'll have some of the guys bring you some cloths and anything else you need in the morning"
    *looks at Helga*
    "If you're really intent on staying ,keep an eye on her."
    "Make sure shes alright"
    "I've got dozens of assignments that need my attention."
    *stretches out*
    "Double shifts have never felt longer"
    *walks out of the room and back to his desk*

    Helga
    "Roger that"

    *Back at his desk Rothchild sits back down in his chair*

    Rothchild
    *looks at the Pedestal Terminal behind his desk*
    *slyly leans back in his chair to get as close as possible to the terminal*
    "You...didn't hear any of that stuff...about the pillow, Right?"
    *Pedestal Terminal remains silent*
    *Whispers* "Thank you....."
    *leans forward again and goes back to work*

    Aye, Min!

    Andrew Montague, 'ere again wit another catalog update.

    Wit all t'is talk aboot a New Interstellar Gold Rush go'n on we decided too br'ng back an old classic jus fur the occasion.

    As well as som ov o'der new crafts to help out.

    Behold! The Worldreaper Mark II








    We also got som lovely pics ov the interior as well as other shots fur you here
    http://imgur.com/a/9UvMG#0

    now fur som new toys

    Arbiter Class Autocannon


    ​
    Role: Autocannon, supplementary firepower, flak filler
    Generation: N/A
    Mass:12.6
    L/H/W: 7m/5m/7m
    Power Regen: 1,893.1 e/sec
    Thrust: 8.1
    Shields: 216 Regen: 27 s/sec
    Arsenal: 4 Shredder Arrays (80 DPS-Overdrive)
    Cost: 122,780 Credits

    Autocannons by their very nature fill the flak of their mother ship. The need for a mass produced flak filler has yielded the Autocannon equivalent of the Cerberus Turret: The Arbiter.

    Functionally the Arbiter operates much like the Cerberus. An overclocked firing mechanism increases the power of every shot at the cost of increased power usage. Alone they are not much of a threat but en mass they can deal severe damage to targets.


    Pickaxe Class Droppod



    ​
    Role: Orbital drop Mining pod, Small-scale Excavator, Planetary Miner​
    Generation: III
    Mass: 34.3
    L/H/W: 11m/7m/7m
    Power Regen: 4,029.4 e/sec
    Thrust: 43.8
    Shields: 476 Regen: 38 s/sec
    Arsenal: 4 Debris Breaker Cannons (Dumb missile; Dam:75)
    Extras: 5 Salvage Cannons (2.5 blocks/sec), 4 plex storage chests
    Cost: 95,036 Credits

    With the recent market influx of rare gems and heavy metals we've developed a new planetary drill. To deliver this small but effective machine to its target, namely large celestial bodies, we built a ship around it. Enter the Pickaxe, a fast small scale driller that can be dropped from orbit.

    To accommodate the powerful new drill much of the space has been devoted to its reactors rather than its defensive systems. The only weapon system on board is some debris breaker cannons. while the idea to automate the process with logic had been proposed, Without a new software update from Schemadyne mining operations will have to be maned.

    We've managed to also squeeze out som more refits of our older Turrets.

    'ere is our update log

    [New Refits]
    ​
    Worldreaper Model Overhaul: Mark-II
    Daemon MK-II Turret Effect Swap: Version 2.3
    Hydra Turret Effect Swap: Version 2.2

    Big projects like dees ar' always fun to churn out.

    Th'ats all fur now.

    Greetings once again, Valued Customers

    Crimson-Artist here, Oh its so good to finally be back.

    Its felt like a lifetime since I last did one of these catalog updates. A lot seems to have happened in my absence.

    Rest assured, This time I'm here to stay and will pick up the pieces.

    Its been a very busy Lunar Phase but we've been hard at work at some new projects as well as the return of a fan favorite.

    Here's what we got.

    Enforcer Class Autocannon




    [Designed to be incompatible with Turret Docking units. Dock to a normal Docking port]
    [Warring! It is advised to installed on a well shielded ship. Damage Pulse at the present moment does not discriminate between its parent ship and its target]

    ​
    Role: Auto cannon, dock-able Boom Lance, Bayonet
    Generation: N/A
    Mass: 58.3
    L/H/W: 8m/21m/7m
    Power Regen: 2,315.3 e/sec
    Thrust: 17.9
    Shields: 1,491 Regen: 66 s/sec
    Arsenal: Wide Burst Boom Lance (Pulse; Dam: 420-Punch through)
    Cost: 604,991 Credits

    Boom Lance technology has improved 10 fold after the implementation of the auto trigger. The Enforcer was designed to turn a front facing docking port into a ship sized bayonet.

    Functionally the Enforcer works just like the boom lance on the Nusku except in a standardized form. Pilots merely have to ram the tip of the enforcer into a target to active the Pulse. Improvements to the auto trigger design have eliminated the double trigger reset apparent in the Nusku allowing for endless easy discharges.

    Paean Class Utility Craft





    ​
    Role: Maintenance craft, Support suit
    Generation: III
    Mass: 87.9
    L/H/W: 21m/ 9m/13m
    Power Regen: 5,919.4 e/sec
    Thrust: 109.1
    Shields: 1,592 Regen: 176 s/sec
    Arsenal: Cutter Beam (Dam: 5), 2 Debris Destroyer Cannons (Dumb missile; Dam: 150), EMP burst (Push pulse)
    Extra: Astrotech Beam, Shield Supply Beam, Power Supply Beam, Radar Jammer
    Cost: 152,197 Credits

    Constant pirate attacks have prompted us to develop a small but effective maintenance craft. The Paean packs an entire repair crew into one cost effective package. It was also made to fit within our standardized SPV docks.

    The Paean comes equipped with a host of support systems. A powerful Astrotech beam is capable of making small and fast repairs. It also comes with a duel transfer system to help jump start ships that have both Power and Shield Outages. Along with the support system the Paean has minor defense systems. Twin Debris Destroyer Cannons can open up a sizable hole in targets while a cutter beam can slice open select spots. In emergency situations, We've also installed a Radar Jammer and EMP bursts to elude any attackers.


    And here we have the return of classic along with a new companion. Reintroducing The Manticore! and introducing the Chimera!


    Manticore Class Battle Tank




    ​
    Role: Planetary Combat Vehicle, Infantry Support, Planetary Defense
    Generation: I (redesign)
    Mass: [Base: 93 Turret: 33.1]
    L/H/W: Total= 18m/9m/13m
    Power Regen: [Base: 5,167.5 e/sec Turret: 1,543.5 e/sec]
    Thrust: [Base: 70 Turret: 0]
    Shields: [Base: 1,692 Turret: 1,088] Regen: [Base: 126 s/sec Turret: 77 s/sec]
    Arsenal: [Base: 2 Shredder Arrays (140 DPS-Explosion) Turret: Durga Cannon (Dumb Missile; Dam: 1,875-Punch-through), 4 Shredder Arrays (60 DPS)]
    Extras: [Base: Radar Jammer]
    Cost: 981,510 Credits
    ​
    The return of a classic with new more powerful Systems. The Manticore has been a long time coming but after a long time in development we've finally brought it back. Get ready to Planetary Combat once again.

    The Manticore has undergone a massive redesign. A new Tank Base had to be made to accommodate the changes in technology since it was first released. Twin Shredder arrays with Sledgehammer rounds installed allow the driver to attack along with the turret. A powerful Durga Cannon makes up the Primary armament on the Manticore along with small Shredder arrays to keep up the damage. When things get too heated we've installed a Radar Jammer in the base. The Manticore also features limited flight capabilities but dropship support is highly recommended.


    Chimera Class Battle Tank​




    ​
    Role: Planetary Combat Vehicle, Infantry Support, Planetary Defense
    Generation: III
    Mass: [Base: 93 Turret: 44.5]
    L/H/W: Total= 18m/9m/13m
    Power Regen: [Base: 5,167.5 e/sec Turret: 2,175 e/sec]
    Thrust: [Base: 70 Turret: 0]
    Shields: [Base: 1,692 Turret: 1,642] Regen: [Base: 126 s/sec Turret: 82 s/sec]
    Arsenal: [Base: 2 Shredder Arrays (140 DPS-Explosion) Turret: 2 Target-Lock Missiles (Lock on; Dam: 1,425), 4 Photon Beams (Dam: 31.4)]
    Extras: [Base: Radar Jammer]
    Cost: 1,056,593 Credits

    Based on a unused and untested prototype, the Chimera was a originally intended to be a companion to the Manticore. But was put on the side as it did not meet our standards. Now with new tech we've revived it with an all new Design.

    Utilizing the new Standard Tank Base much of the work was centered around the turret. Duel Target-lock Missiles punctuate the Damage output while quad Photon beams pierce the gaps in the flak. Has proven to be a excellent choice for planetary defense as the missiles help swat down incoming enemy ships.


    Thats all we have for now. More on repairs to the shipyard need to be done before we can work on bigger projects

    Again its a pleasure to finally be back

    *Minutes after the Crimson-Artist breaks transmission with customers he is hard at work on his terminal*

    Crimson-Artist
    *Typing*

    *Carmine Suddenly appears at her Pedestal Terminal connected to the Crimson-Artist's desk*

    Carmine
    "Dear, Montague has sent over some improved tech specks of the designs you sent him."
    "Hes asking if it would be alright to implement these changes"

    Crimson-Artist
    *Continues to type*
    "Denied"

    Carmine
    *incredulous*
    "Dear?"
    "Denied?"

    Crimson-Artist
    "Yes"
    "Make sure he understands that our strained budget can't afford last minute mods"
    "Thanks in part to him"
    "From now on all valid design changes will come from me and me alone"

    Carmine
    "Yes, Dear"
    "But aren't you going to at least look over it?"

    Crimson-Artist
    *Ignores Carmine and continues to type*
    "..."

    Carmine
    "Dear?"

    Crimson-Artist
    *looks up*
    "I'm sorry, Carmine but I've got nearly a lunar cycle of backed up work to do"
    "More than half of it has to do with all the craziness that went on while I was gone"
    "Speaking of which"
    "Whats the status of our new security hires?

    Carmine
    "The first dozen have already begun working with more to start soon"
    "We still have several dozen other open positions that..."

    Crimson-Artist
    *interrupts*
    "Good"
    "Inform me when all of our new guards are done and initiated"
    "Whoever tried to grab you is still around here. I can feel it"
    "If I hadn't wrestled that memory device with you on it from him.."

    Carmine
    "Dear... about that"
    "You still haven't told me how you..."

    *She gets interrupted by the door to the office opening*
    *Rothchild rushes in, tired and out of breath*

    Rothchild
    *Catching breath*
    "G-Give me...a m-moment"

    Crimson-Artist
    "Rothchild, What is it?"
    "I'm very busy"

    Rothchild
    *Recovers*
    "You know that probe we had in that one universe?"
    "The one we almost destroyed?"
    "Well..."
    *Makes explosion sound*

    Crimson-Artist
    "Explain"

    Rothchild
    "Don't got to"
    "Here"
    *walks over to the Crimson-Artist*
    *hands him a tablet*
    *Tablet plays the last video feed from the probe*

    "We got big trouble"

    Crimson-Artist
    "Interesting..."
    "They managed to see through our stealth systems"

    Rothchild
    "Not quite"
    "Best I can surmise is that there was an on-board system spike which caused the stealth systems to fail."
    "Sir, What do we do?"
    "looks like they've upgraded the smaller ones"
    "But that big one"
    "Sir, from the scans those ship are rocking tech that far exceeds the general technological level of that universe"
    "Tech on par with our own"
    "If we don't do something fast...the people"
    *Makes a throat slashing motion along with the sound effect*

    Crimson-Artist
    *Places his hand over his chin*
    "You have the probe's scans of their ships, Correct?"

    Rothchild
    "Yeah"
    *Accesses Fabricator to transfer data*
    "Thank the Divine it managed to get the data to us"
    "Now we know what were up against"

    Crimson-Artist
    *Receives the data on his Fabricator*
    *looks over the data*
    "hmmmm"
    "Fascinating"
    "Yes, this will do quite nicely"
    *Looks up toward Rothchild*
    "That'll be all, Rothchild"
    *Goes back to work on his terminal*

    Rothchild
    "What?!"

    Crimson-Artist
    *peeks up*
    "Hmmm?"
    "Something else?"

    Rothchild
    "Sir, Those are pirates flying your tech to hurt innocent people!"
    "I repeat: YOUR TECH"
    "We have to stop them"

    Crimson-Artist
    "And this data will prove useful in that"
    "like I said, That'll be all"
    *goes back to work*

    Rothchild
    *Incredulous*
    *shakes head*
    "Yes, Sir"
    *Walks to the door*
    *Door opens but Rothchild stops just before it and turns around*
    *looks back and opens his mouth*
    *Sees the Crimson-Artist look up and stare straight into his eyes*
    *shakes head*
    *Leaves room*

    *Carmine watches as Rothchild leaves the room*

    Carmine
    "Dear? Aren't you going to help those people?"

    Crimson-Artist
    "Yes...Eventually...I think"
    "No"

    Carmine
    "!"
    "But..."

    Crimson-Artist
    "We have our own problems to deal with"
    "As a matter of fact there's still a lot of relief efforts here that needs to be done"
    *turns his head toward the office window over looking the general plaza under repairs as if to point*
    *looks back at Carmine*
    "Lotta injured Employees and damaged Infrastructure"
    "If you want to help someone then start by helping our own"

    Carmine
    *looks down*
    "Yes, Dear..."
    *looks back up at the Crimson-Artist*

    Crimson-Artist
    *spy's Carmine staring at him*
    "Yes...?"

    Carmine
    *looks away*
    "Oh, I was just thinking..."
    "...Its good to have you back, Dear"
    "Excuse me"
    *Disappears from the pedestal Terminal*

    Where's your master ship builder medal? You clearly are the best ship builder that submits ships... You put dalmont to absolute shame in terms of looks and stats :).
