The project was shelved and labelled top secret, as it was seen too ahead of its time.
The fighter was amazing in every aspect but, until the technology for chain docking is Ironed out this ship will not be of use as no carrier can harbour it.
this limits its and effectiveness, so until then the ship has been locked away somewhere safe .
As for the other 3 prototypes they have been disposed of.
Blitz-tech will not comment at the moment as to any other void shielding(what we dubbed the technology) projects it might be working on.

this is the latest ship off our construction line the Eclipse-class destroyer.
measuring in at about 150m,she supports a crew of 25.
she\'s a bit fat in comparison to our other ships, but there is a good reason for that, her main armament.
her main role is as a torpedo boat.
in her belly she can hold up to 4 massive 21M long torpedoes that are designed to hit targets several sectors away.
by using the wing of light fighters she has in her hanger as scouts, she can pin point ships from a distance and fire her long ranged torpedoes from relative safety.
after she has fired off all her torpedoes, a new set can be loaded back in through an opening in her belly
Also she\'s not limited to holding the standerd high explosive torpedoes.
she can fit a hole rage of exotic kinds..
Ranging from energy draining leach type torpedoes, that latch on and drain a target of power, to boarding torpedoes that bore into the hull allowing marines to get in to the target vessel.
all these exotic types of ammunition allow this ship to fit meanly roles making it highly vestal.
she does not favour well with close up engagements with larger ships, and so a small support fleet is needed to help her function at her best.
though she has 24 light turret hard points, these are meant manly for fighter deterrent.
more to come soon!

We have been putting off fixing the ships turrets in favour of other projects, and we wanted the turrets to be working again before releasing the ships.
We will put all projects on hold for the time being, and do the fixes.
will have the ships available to public asap!

we have released our ships/vehicles to the public once more.(on main page)
expect for the lunar and the eclipse.
the lunar is undergoing a major refit and the eclipse is having its interior done.
they will be up in the next couple of days

Could you elaborate on how they are built and used? Are the AI controlled? Great designs btw, love em all.

Well at the moment they need to be piloted in manually, but hey what are slaves for!
The torpedoes are packed with their explosive tips a few moments before lunch, this helps keep the ship from blowing up randomly (you can never truest a crew that’s 50% captured…)
This does add to the firing time but because of the nature of the torpedo, and how far they can be launched, it’s not much of a problem, by the time the target knows about its impending doom it will be too late.
We are thinking of adding a cloaking feature to the sanded HE torps, to help them from getting shot down on the final approach(the cloak won’t need to last long)
To be brutally honest this ship is not currently effective in its role and is best used for RP for the time being.
Though we believe as the game evolves,torpedoes will become a viable weapon.
Be it with bordering torpedoes that to help capture a vessel, or a leach type that latches on and drains a ship of energy crippling it!
Yes we see this as an amazing asset, maybe not in the current point in time but someday soon.
torpedoes will be the way to total domination, and the eclipse is a grate platform for them.

we at blitz-tech have not managed to be as productive as we would have liked in the past couple of weeks.
so to make up for the lack of new goodies ,we are making available one of our prototype ships for a short period of time (24 hours) grab em well they hot.
this little gem is a bit bland as its still in its prototype faze though it\'s very functional.
there is something that makes this ship very unique compared to our usual ships.
Any of you remember that iron-clad project for the ultimate fighter?
well this frigate is our first attempt at using the same plating technology , on lager ships.
she has 10 plates over all and just to give you a small idea of what platted ships can do. If you tally up the total shield of all the plates and main body you get close to 800 000 shield.
(detailed explanation of plated ships here http://star-made.org/content/quest-ultimate-fighter )
Not a lot? well its only got 1000 mass... the conquest class frigate of the same size has 250 000 shield.

time’s up, ship is no longer available.

It’s hard to build these types of ships as you can’t really use the symmetry tools, almost each plat needs to be maid individually.
you can spawn in opposite plates ,but because how the docking orientation works you still end up having to make the plate from scratch (they might look the same but can end up pointing the wrong way)..
We drawing up some Blue prints for a battle cruiser with plates and will be the largest ship we have constructed so far, though will be some time before its made .
