    Looks like you\'ve been busy! Good to see you back in action, though. I\'m a fan of your work.

    Any plans to release downloads for your ships? I would love to have a sector full of these beautiful ships

    we ordered our scientists to design and construct a large turret for a battleship we are thinking of constructing. the crazies thought it would be a good idea to stuff a bunch of nova cannons into a turret and see what happens. this monstrosity is the result...



    measuring in at 100m long, we think that this turret might be a bit to unwieldy, even for a large battle ship... but hey why not just because it\'s impractical, doesn\'t mean it\'s not badass? we at blitz -teach think that over kill is highly underrated.

    so until we start construction on the ship that will house this beast, we will be putting it on the underside of a colony planet. there are a few projects we are working on that we would like to finish first, before tackling this monster of a ship.

    Our own Naval Grade cannons ended up being fairly unwieldy as well. We know your pain, sir, and we appreciate the effort. These look REAL nice.

    it\'s good to know that there is someone who understands the woes of unwieldy turrets. might have to pick your brain when I finally slap them onto a ship.

    ... pondering the issue and we have hit upon a solution that we think will work, at least for us. We\'ll be using it on the new Nocturne and we think it might be useful for you as well. Drop us a line if you get curious and we\'ll explain it in dreary, boaring detail.

    OK you said the Turret is like 100m long, How big is the ship your going to be mounting that beast onto.?

    I mean I have my current ship in work thats 250m plus and I figure its going to end up as a Cruiser. How Long err large is your battleship.?

    between 600-800m long.

    though we have a few more ships to build to close the gap (battle cruiser/pocket battleship exec), before we hit a ship of that class. so until then this turret will be used solely for planetary defence.

    here is a little glimpse of the destroyer we are constructing next to a lunar-class cruiser.



    this is just a little taste, there will be no more pics until its completion.

    just wanted to show what blitz-tech is working on currently.

    A few weeks back we lost contact with a salvager convoy, they were sent out to clear up some debris but never made it there.

    all of the salvagers vanished without a trace, until now.

    we were ambushed by a group of these...







    they captured and weaponized these salvages into a group of deadly drones...

    here is a comparison between the original and the modified pirate version.



    the pirates are more resourceful then we originally thought
