DIS Belphaegor



DIS Asmodeus



Protective Sisters

Very robust, brute designs. I like how you merge the fluidity of wedges with the uniformity of the flat surfaces. The hull spikes laced with ice on the DIS Belphaegor could have a more menacing edge to them though.

 

[Broken_Angel]

Thanks. The spikes are meant to be sensor clusters, but there's no in-game functionality to reflect that at the moment. I was going for a Carp/Angler Fish look with the Belphaegor but I don't know how well it came off.
There are two, smaller destroyers, two 500m cruisers and a 1km battleship in the works at the moment.....

Ah I see, I misinterpreted them as the extension of a weapon barrel of some sort. I would add more then a straight line to it if you're mimicing an angler fish, which is certainly a very interesting design. The new tetra and penta blocks should do the trick to make that look sleek and almost organic. As fro the other ships your lining up, I eagerly await to see them. Great building :D

 

[Sven_The_Slayer]

I like these designs, are you planning on making them available for download?

 

[Claru]

I very much approve of your theme.

Both in naming and in concept.

 

[Broken_Angel]

I do plan to make them available, once I'm 100% happy with the design. There are still minor tweaks to the outer hull and some interior details to finish off first

nice ships

 

[Admiralkio]

My main front-line cruiser on Tectium Clementia. (ignore the ugly docking bits, was doing things)

If that's for turrets to put on the actual ship then bloody hell.

 

[Broken_Angel]

Interesting. I'd like to see a finished version

Destroyer WIP


Superstructure for the Shuttle Bay and forward engines are just about done, need to finish fine detail work. Still have to build Crew Quarters, Engine Room, Power Generators, Shield Grid, Sensors, AMC Housing and Turret Mounts....and that's before I get onto the exterior detailing.
For a 150m long ship, this is turning into a lot of work

DIS Mammon

Reconnaissance Destroyer is finally done!

I've decided to hold off on releasing these ships until after the new weapons mods have been released. I can't see the Belphaegor changing much, but I intend to retrofit the weapons systems on both the Asmodeus and Mammon to give them a bit more bite.
The following ship classes are also in the works and I hope to have them completed before too long:

DIS Leviathan (Battleship) - 70% Complete (needs transferring to my high-spec rig before I can finish)
DIS Lucifer (Cruiser) - Design Stage
DIS Satan (Cruiser) - Design Stage
DIS Beelzebub (Destroyer) -Construction Pending
Pesado MKIV (Corvette/Bomber) - 95% Complete (final design upgrades underway)
Belias MKII (Fighter) - Design Stage (rebuilding this one from the ground up, as MKI design was a bit of a rushed job)
Astaroth MKII (Shuttle) - 50% (current design is solid, just need to rebalance stats)

In short, watch this space

A few more screenshots of the growing fleet.




Done some cosmetic work on all three, refining a few details and smoothing off edges and reworked the weapon mounts, ready for the new mods. Also rebuilt the Belias Class Fighter from scratch, it now looks like the illegitimate love child of the BSG Viper and Voyager's Delta Flyer, as well as refitting the Pesdao Bomber (mainly interior details).

Another week, another ship....
This time, the Heavy Destroyer DIS Beelzebub.

3/4 Front View


Dorsal View


As you can see, I've based this on a modified version the Mammon Class. The Beelzebub sports thicker armour around key sections, streamlined contours and additional thrusters (there's only a drop of about 20kph in the top speed, despite all the added weight)
Primary armament is the forward lance battery, a trio of wide-mawed cannons that will house no less than fifty-four (54!) linked Beam weapons. The Beelzebub Class is less of a starship and more of a highly mobile Beam Cannon.
To accommodate the extra weaponry, I've gutted the shuttle bay and cargo docks, replacing them with a single, fly through resupply bay. Given that this class doesn't tend to stray too far from larger vessels (providing concentrated salvoes to heavier targets to collapse their shields), a lack of storage isn't exactly an issue.

Been feeling a bit under the weather this week but I hope to get cracking on the Lucifer Class Cruiser before too long. The basic plan is almost done, just need to get on with it.

 

[kupu]

Nice ships!
Beelzebub's shape is really nice. Looks heavy!

 

[Broken_Angel]

Thanks. I wanted to give it quite a menacing profile for such a small ship (160m), as though the three massive Lances built into the prow weren't enough!

 

[hindos]

Beelzebub, another name for the devil, or are you referring to Japanese Manga?
Also I love the use of black hull with the blue glow.

 

[Ithirahad]

Pretty neat ships... IMO the massive flat black surfaces could use an accent bit or two, though.

I'm working through the list of Binsfield's list of know demons, starting with the big ones supposedly responsible for invoking the deadly sins in man....as an atheist sci-fi geek, I just like the way these names sound when paired with starships.

I've donemore detail work to break up some of the larger areas, but I wanted to give the hulls a sleek, glossy finish. The initial designs for the Lucifer Class Cruiser look more like a space-born shard of obsidian than a ship. But, everyone has different tastes...
