    darknassius, it seems like you've submitted quite a few ships. Could you make a masterpost of all of them?

    I assume it's 12 am GMT-5 ? right ? Anyone can confirmate because your US centered timezone are confusing (for the rest of the world I mean). I'm in GMT+1 so it should be rhis sunday 6 pm GMT+1 if I don't get it wrong.

    It's my first real designed ship. I never used weapons systems & all so I have absolute no idea about the balance ; and just beginned it yesterday so don't expect somesthing crazy shit from me.

    But however I'm actually quite proud of the rendering of my cockpit, I share with you few pictures of it to tease you.





    (Don't pay attention to my dimension scale construction bar out there.)

    Thats why some of us asked about a simple "X hours from now" :p whether 12am meant 23:59 gmt-5 saturday or 11:59 sunday or 23:59 sunday seems to have caused a bit of confusion.

    Looking forward to the results and thank you for a very fun event! :) This is also a great source of beautiful fighter-class pirate or starter blueprints.

    Say hello to the latest member of the ARK fleet, and the first made public (only because of this contest!)

    Made with a lot of slabs to be as sleek as possible at such a small size, which I personally feel is the way of the future for fighters and small craft.

    It has a more compact flight/landing mode (it lands on it's nacelles like landing gear), and a more expanded combat mode where the nacelles flatten out and pop open to reveal a pair of turrets (narrows ship for faster turning speed on the vertical axis)

    Gif is faster than real time, blame Starmade :P

    Also dropbox link because I rarely use the CC ;)

    Please ensure turrets are active and it's set to borrow thrust from docked!

    hmm maybe we could have several mass classes next time? Like say 0 - 300 mass, 301 - 600, 601 - 900, 901 - 1200; should do the trick? People might whine less and it'd be interesting to see what they cook up for the different groups.

    the challenge here is to make something good with fancy rail stuff within a mass limit that is quite small.
    Giving more mass to work with would not make it so challenging as it is right now.

    I split it up into different groups of mass for a reason. That said even I know it wouldn't be as challenging but depending on the other rules for each range of mass a lot of ideas could be made in those ranges. The trick is how to make it challenging at the higher ranges?
