LodeStar Shipworks

[bezzer13]

Hello and welcome to Lodestar Shipworks, An independent faction consisting of two small time gamers, myself bezzer13 and my brother LilBez. Since we play semi-survival mode most of the components for the ships were either bought or harvested and so it does take longer for our builds to be completed.


Nova Class (Savage ship)

LSS Nova MK2

Our first ship for viewing today is the LSS Nova MK2. This is a long but compact salvaging ship that I built early on so that we could get supplies. Moderately armoured but boasting 4 long AMC arrays, it can easily deal with standard pirates.

Its stats are:

Cost:816950

Mass:341.3 (Blocks:3413)

Length:85m, Height:8m; Width:8m

Power:20000.0 (21265.3 e/sec)

Thrust:636.4

Shields:37033 (1529s/sec) Blocks:311 Recovery 1.0

LSS Nova MK3

Next we have the LSS Nova MK3, this was a complete re-design of the MK2 allowing for a better salvage array. Interestingly the AMC’s on the MK3 are slightly less powerful than the MK2’s but are still more than powerful enough to deal with pirates.

Its stats are:

Cost:1351950

Mass:488.0 (Blocks:4880)

Length:80m, Height:13m; Width:12m

Power:20000.0 (63846.0 e/sec)

Thrust:1184.7

Shields:55203.0 (2038s/sec) Blocks:566 Recovery 1.0

Its stats are:

Cost:1518350

LSS Sterling

Painted in Our livery of black and green, LodeStar Shipworks LSS Sterling (destroyer class) is a sleek and powerful spaceship. Its design draws on many influences and while LilBez did the primary hull, some would say the design is not unlike a battlestar galactica viper. bezzer13 retrofitted this primary hull giving the sleek look this ship now has. bezzer13 then added all the essentials (shields, AMC's, an extended 9520 power core, etc)

Ship stats

Mass:613.3 (Blocks:6133)

Length:98m, Height:17m; Width:45m

Power:20000.0 (34119.7 e/sec)

Thrust:948.1

Hello I am Melkor, Head of Kyphar Enterprises, The New Galactic Empire and Kyphus shipyards. Also the owner of the CORELLIA server. New Empire and Kyphar Enterprises http://star-made.org/content/corellianew-galactic-empire-kyphar-enterprises Also you upload images by getting the HTML url for the picture and then click source (top left) and paste the URL. Would you like to consider me teaching you to build bigger and better ships? Im not saying they are bad for they are great but I can teach you a technique to build complex, creative, original, and fancy ships and even rooms in the ships.

 

[MisterVec]

Perhaps you would do better at this whole \"designing mentor\" thing if you would show us what you can do in your own thread, no?

 

[Gasboy]

I don\'t think you need much advice at all.

 

[bezzer13]

Thanks for the offer Melkor, but I really don\'t spend enough time on starmade for it to be worth your time. My brother and I are currently working on two much larger ships the LSS Belfast and the LSS Merlin, we are both learning more techniques as we build. I think we will just carry on at our own pace. I tried to upload the images with the technique you said but I still can\'t get it to work. If you could help me with this it would be most appreciated.

 

[bezzer13]

Thank you Gasboy, our techniques are slowly improving, I will post images of our new ship the LSS Belfast as soon as it is near completion and I work out how to get the images to work on the forum.
