Colinpg, you looking for full-size models or miniatures? I don't actually make full-size models, though I suppose I just haven't tried it yet.

Sorry for being AFG; will be back in about a week

An interesting theory I had is that the mech might not be developed for the sole purpose of earth-based ground combat. Think of the Gundam series (except 00): in all of them, the mech is a hybrid space/ground combat vehicle. It might be that the mech is the type of vehicle best able to operate...

The Salamis Class, right? Would be cool to finish refurbishing. So many ships, so little time.

I've seen the grey one before, but I haven't seen the red mobile suit. That supposed to be the Sinanju? My knowledge of Zeon mobile suits is generally pretty poor. Nice! Are those things to scale? Do they have interiors and stuff?

Zeon ships are famous for not really making sense and for really breaking the conventional spaceship mold. What else would you expect from a bunch of damn Spacenoids? ;)

You and I have irreconcilably different views on why/how we play this game and thus what constitutes a "good" ship. You are absolutely correct; I, and builders like me, consider functionality to be a secondary concern. I for example play this game for the sole purpose of recreating ships I see...

Step 0: Figure out why you are playing this game and what you enjoy about it. Then, consider designs accordingly. 1. Find your design: Stare at pictures, draw pictures, 3D model them--it doesn't really matter. 2. Core placement: The core is the one thing you can't really move. Figure out where...

That is sweet! I'd love to see it updated with rail systems. Does it have a completed interior or is it just the hull?

Those dimensions are probably closer to a cruiser. True titan-class vessels are like 1,000m and are very rare and require extremely skillful and dedicated builders. Remember that power consumption increases exponentially when you add distinct firing points to a single computer. For example...

What ship would you like to see next? Cast your vote! Virginia Class Mobile Suit Carrier (Gundam 00) Agamemnon Class Carrier - (Gundam Seed) Irish Class Fast Battleship - (Zeta Gundam) Caerleon Class Floating Battleship - Code Geass (yes, I know it's not a Gundam ship)

Here's my Magellan-Kai Particle Cannon turret. Notice how the interior has to be hollowed out in order to accommodate the barrel's rotation. The barrel length itself is limited by the fact that at some point it scrapes the bottom of the turret.

Why the hell would a guy building robot suits name his system "Cyberdyne"? That's just inviting the robot apocalypse.

They may look beefy, but the new rail mechanic limits the damage output. It's hard to make the turret look/act realistic and be powerful since they must protrude from the interior of a turret, rather than be attached to the outside. In all, I estimate I lose about 40% of the overall damage...

Hey, nice! Alright, I'll pick something else for the time being then. But I want to find General_Revil and his namesake, the EFSF General Revil. http://starmadedock.net/threads/the-general-revil-from-gundam-uc.18147/ That ship would take me years to build, I'd love to see that ship flying around.

Thanks! I'm thinking of building the Baikal-class from 00. I'm debating between starting that project or finishing the Birmingham and Magellan-Kai.

I think we've generally concluded a tank is superior to a giant mech. But what about a tank vs. a single-person armed suit? To clarify, I'm talking about armored, powered exoskeletons only slightly larger than a human. Ghost in the Shell has some good examples. Although these suits would...

"Gundam" is one of the most famous sci-fi franchises in history. And yet, Gundam seems to get very little love in Starmade. Where is the White Base, the Archangel, the Ptolemaios, or the Nahel Argama? Indeed, here are very few blueprints of ships or mobile suits available on this forum. My...

Introducing the Drake Class Frigate from the Gundam Seed universe. Author's note: -This ship is a hand-built mostly-scale model. It is actually a rebuild of the first large ship I ever made. It is full of new rail-based logic including missile-bay doors, an elevator lift system, and...
