    Alright lets kick this new update off with new pirate and traders designs and new shop designs. The winners will be forever immortalized on NASS Main (and other servers as well). Lets get a good range of pirate ships from fighters to battleships.

    Top picks will get Humble Bundles (9 steam games - Alpha Protocol, Company of Heroes, Rome: Total War, Rath of the Dead Rabbit, Typing of the Dead: Overkill, Binary Domain, Renegade Ops, Classic Sega Games, Mediecal Total War 2 )

    To prepare a ship for the competition - Take a picture of your ship with F6 then get into it and type /save to be sure its blueprint is up to date. Then start the launcher, hit start game, go to tools at the top of Starmade Connection Setup, select Open Ship Catalog Manager, find your ship and hit export. The ship file yourshipname.sment will appear in StarMade/blueprints/exported. Post the picture and a link to the ship on this thread.

    To prepare a shop for the competition - Find an updated shop with a NPC. Using the M key build a space station around the existing shop giving a pathway to the NPC. Be sure to take a picture of the shop with F6 and then use the /export_sector (ie: /export_sector 2 2 2 stationname). You may need to use /force_save if the sector has not autosaved to the database. The sector will appear in StarMade/sector-export/yourstationname.smsec. Post the picture and a link to the shop on this thread.

    Clarifications

    1) It must be a ship you created
    2) Turrets are allowed but discouraged due to ongoing issues with them (make sure they work and look right with AI before submitting them)
    3) The ships will be available for ALL servers not just NASS. This project is to encourage a lot of submissions to benefit the whole community
    4) All weapon types are permitted
    5) There are no hard and fast rules about ships sizes. I would suggest nothing over about 200 Meters due to issues with spawning and the lack of graphics hardware many people are playing with
    6) Winners will be decided by a community vote in a future post after sufficient entries are received

    Is there a maximum/minimum size for both the ships and shop?

    Are the ships allowed any weapon types/turrets?

    and is there anything that needs to be included into these designs? (ie. must have a faction block?)

    One of them is a decent frigate, the other is a light fighter.

    Not sure if I showed you this yet, I built these a while back finally taking a shot at a pure combat vessel, shot two pics and forgot about it for the most part.

    This seems like a good a place as any to drop them for something usefull :P



    The Ajax:



    And her accompanying (or standalone) heavy micro fighter:





    She has 4 medium turrets, carries two of the fighters (all tested and found to work perfectly in 0.14) and a rather significantly oversized array of AMC\'s. I dare you to squeeze more firepower into a ship this size ^^

    A squad of these fighters can also be a major pain in the ass for anyone not in a big bad battleship.



    Here\'s a full album:

    For fun I\'m just going to drop this old thing here. ( The ship is pretty old so the systems might need a refit/overhaul)

    Sorry for the giant picture

    Yes we want frigates, interiors are not critical but they are nice.

    What she looks like:



    Ship role:
    The smallest of the strike craft made available on the black market by the Wild Space Pirates.
    Used mainly as a scouting ship. It’s fast and agile but has little durability in a direct engagement. Better not put your most experienced pilots in this.

    Statistics:

    Dimensions: L13 H6 W11
    Power: 20 K (3.5 K e/s)
    Thrust: 39
    Shields: 4.6 K (418 e/s)

    Special Features:
    Twin AMC weapon system

    What she looks like:



    Ship role:
    The Saber is a strike craft adapted by the Wild Space Pirates from the alliance navy. Tweaked for performance this craft serves as a boosting element to any strike craft wing.
    Its additional turret system gives it the possibility to engage multiple targets.
    The inclusion of the D1000 missile system gives the ship some additional bombing options as well.

    Statistics:

    Dimensions: L21 H7 W17

    Power: 20 K (5.8 K e/s)

    Thrust: 145

    Shields: 16 K (1 K e/s)

    Special Features:
    Twin turret system
    Twin AMC weapon system
    Twin D1000 weapon system
