I, Bobby.

Okay, so it has no turrets yet. MAY have gotten a bit overexcited.

If anyone with the skills and software would ike to make a less terribad video when I add them all on let me know

 

[TwoNiner]

the music was good till 1:22 after that was just crap.At first I was like "Crap!!! Fleet dispatch!!!! Kill it with fire!!!!" then when the piano started playing it suddenly became as menacing as a rainbow and I was like "oh...... never mind"

 

[Captain Tankman]

I have to agree with @TwoNiner the music doesn't really fit.

Besides that its an awesome ship.... and I.. I will never ever let abandoned turrets float in space again :O

 

[ToyotaSupra]

Yeah the music sounds like a really bad Nightcore track after 1:22.

Nevertheless awesome ship showcase there.

 

[WaffulMann]

Uh, are those missile pods at the back?
...Shit.

 

[RedDwarfIV]

"Damn it Skype, I'm trying to be dramatic here!"

It's a brilliant piece of work, Orphaniel. Although I'm not sure what the part at the beginning about lost turrets was there for... are you going to be doing a video series?

 

[marcus87]

Amazing ship ... and I like the musik!!!

 

[Keptick]

Yikes, that's a pretty intimidating ship O_O

Side note: what are the current dimensions???

 

[Orphaniel]

I tried to find fittingly evil and menacing music, but nothing I had fit in very well, so I went with something nice and inspiring instead.

and yes, curse that damn skype notification. Nvidia shadowplay doesn't always like recording certain programs, so I had it set to just grab the whole screen.

The dimensions are numbers; its about 700m long.

the thing about the ai and orphaned turrets is that it's supposed to be a huge AI titan, it has no decks, no bridge, just a huge internal AI core.

EDITTE:

Heres a few more pictures, because between youtube and windows movie maker the quality of the vid got shanked something fierce.

The back

The shooty end.

Oee of the engines.

Some parts.

The underside

The main gun and supporting structure

Flank

Lower Flank

I think these are called Greebles? I always called it Kibble.

Pipes!

The top

Internal space, such as it is.

in profile.

As you might notice I used ONLY black hull and red lights, there is a small section with a few gratings thrown on but that is all. This was an experiment of sorts about light and color and I'd say it was a success.

EDITEDIT: I changed the music for tyou all, since mroe people commented on the choice of music than the ship itself. Youtube warns me the author of the track might show an ad.

 

[marcus87]

Nice concept, but for a ship that collects lost turrets. I would expect something more ... like an ork spacehulk. Do not missundeerstand the ship is marvellous. It does look cool and all but not like somthing that samples random space debris.

Looking at the ship, I would think it is a society after the singularity. Or a AI race or somthing like that.

 

[Orphaniel]

The bit about orphaned AI turrets is just to say "hey, look at this big AI evil ship that's going to beat up all your planets". It does not literally scavenge them up and nurture them back to health :p

 

[Reilly Reese]

It assimilates their knowledge and technical designs.

 

[Top 4ce]

HAL has been eating his Wheaties..

 

[Orphaniel]

Got some turrets happening!

Eat cones, filthy meatvessels!

"Sir, we've got pyramids incoming!"

"My God. Quickly, consult the Book of Imhotep!"

 

[Orphaniel]

"Sir, we've got pyramids incoming!"

"My God. Quickly, consult the Book of Imhotep!"

Avast! Crimson chandeliers!

 

[Cyco_Reaper]

"Sir, we've got pyramids incoming!"

"My God. Quickly, consult the Book of Imhotep!"

Lol'd so hard when I saw this....

 

[psteiner]

Hate to be on the receiving end though, what is the dps on those things?

 

[Keptick]

@Orphaniel , you inspired me to make some shaped projectiles! Here is two plasma blobs thingies:

The only thing I wish I could do is make the individual projectiles fatter... I'll have to try by using multiple weapon computers I guess :p

 

[Orphaniel]

Hate to be on the receiving end though, what is the dps on those things?

I haven't the foggiest, honestly. They're slow-firing, long-range piercing, so it's probably not as high as it might be.
