I tried, enjoy the engines:

I just found this thread.....now I'm hooked....

Engines!

Older, replica design that I just have to leave here:

Spoiler: Engines!

Interstellar Carrier from Ender's Game

Spoiler: The Big Ones

Spoiler: The Quirky One

Spoiler: The New One

The last one is still WIP. :D

That quirky one

A wild engine appears!

I still feel as though it will shoot bees.

I feel it needs some COWLINGS.

Just wait and see where I install it and you'll get why I didn't make any cowling (hint hint: the cowling is fulfilled by the engine niche). I'm also not too sure what you meant by that.

And what's wrong with the hexagon pattern? D:
At least I tried something different this time, in case you didn't notice the color gradient in the middle section. It's also hard to see the depth of the engine due to poor lighting, I'll have to do something about that.

But hey, thanks for the feedback

This is better than the orignal version. It's much less monotonous.

 

[Orphaniel]

I see the color gradient and the depth, too, and I should note that i do not mind the pattern at all

 

[Keptick]

Told ya it didn't need any cowling @Orphaniel :P

Here's the design I've been messing around with for my new battleship, partially inspired by SCRAMjet engines!

these are the best engines i have seen so far!

Threads like this make me so glad we pushed for more colours / decorative blocks. Purple engine plumes! You guys rock.

 

[therimmer96]

I cant wait until we have particle sprayers. these will get so much better.

 

[Orphaniel]

Oh my! that will indeed increase the ocular orgasmulation.

 

[Keptick]

Yep, just imagine the plumes that would come out of all these gigantic engines!!!!

And thanks a lot @kupu . I wouldn't have been able to make a color gradient type thing without the new crystal colors.

Anyone ever tried building a Gallente ship???? (Dang our confusion face is weird. Can we get one like the old site where its a head with a question mark?)

There's no dark green so it could be a bit hard to do, especially with all those monster curves! There's literally NO FREAKING corners or ridges on galente ships, it's all smooth curves.

So basically: smedit a shell if you have any attachment to your brain :P

I don't particularly. But I'm not a Gallente fan, so I'll pass :D

Ok, here's a picture of the fully integrated engines (which is much more appropriate for this thread):

and a cropped shot of the all the engines:

I won't have any new engines in a while, so no worries about me spamming this thread any more :P

 

[Numinak]

Might as well join this party!

 

[Mered4]

Might as well join this party!

Well met, sir. Cheers to your engines! Now, to add curves......
