    I got the reactors for the FreshStart built and copied onto the ship:

    These are the reactors on the top of the ship. There are three more on the bottom.
    Amazing reactors, great job!

    Thanks Kep. That means a lot coming from you :)

    In other news, I was productive today. Time for another release!

    I present to you the NFD Piranha!

    The NFD Piranha is my first succesfull combat ship. It has one cannon system onboard but no turrets (in this release). The Piranha has good shielding and power systems for a ship of it's size.

    I built another shell for a new ship. It will be a freighter which I am, at least for now, calling the Runner.

    Yet another ship release:

    The NFD Runner is here!

    The Runner is a mid-sized freighter with hefty shields and a good turret for dealing with those pesky pirates. It features a full interior, four cargo containers, a medium turret, and a jump drive; everything that a good freighter needs.

    Also I will be out of town for a week starting tomorrow so updates will come for smaller ships that I am working on but no pics or downloads because I won't have access to my PC which can run with settings that make things look nice.

    I've been working some more on the starcracker. I filled one of the six pairs of red arms with shield rechargers and the ship has almost 6.4 million shield regen per sec. This means that when I've done all the arms the ship will have around 38.4 million shield regen per second.

    It will be a combat god (thinks about how if could be used as a mobile faction base)

    Built a little ship. It's called the solace and it is a tiny little freighter which carries two of the cargo pods from the Runner. Pics will come either later or tomorrow.

    I've been working on a 500m long cruiser. Not sure what I'm going to call it yet or what kind of weapons it will have when completed but here is what I've done so far.

    I Havn't done the front of the shell yet so that will probably be in the next update.

    Any suggestions are welcome :)

    I just got a RAM upgrade :D I'm now playing with 16gbs instead of 8gbs. Work on the colony ship will resume soon.

    I've been working on a 709m personal cruiser. Not sure if I am going to release this one yet. Once it is finished, if people want it to be avalible, I will probably put it up on the site.
    (I'll put a pic here once I am on my desktop because I fogot to upload to imgur.)

    Also not sure why the Frontier hasn't been approved yet. It's been up for over two weeks :(
    (BearishMushroom I see you are online, would you mind taking a look at it for me?)

    Edit: Thanks Bearish for approving it for me :)

    Oh wow... 4th page of the shipyard section... I've really been slacking on build reports havn't I...

    Back on topic time: Over the past few days (despite the lack of updates) I have been hard at work with some new ships. I built my new personal cruiser and designed a few other ships that I will start constuction on sometime this week.

    The personal cruiser is going to be called the Dragonfly (for obvious reasons).

    I haven't decided if I'm going to release this one yet but if people show enough interest I probably will.

    ASM made a shipyard page! He is part of Nova Fleet Dynamics so I dropped a link to his page in the OP.

    Also I'm planning on making a few varients of the Scythe, notably a pirate version and a exploration version. I will also be doing work on the frontier and the runner in the coming weeks so expect updates to those ships as well.

    Started on a new drone today. I'm calling it the Enix. It will be combat orianted with little or no interior.
    The shell is mostly complete, although I hesitate to call it complete because I may add or remove things before it is released.





    Suggestions and opinions are much appreciated :)

    Reformatted the main post to be a little more professional and less cluttered.
    Also added a link to Tobie's shipyard page as he is a new NFD member :)

    So I had the privilage of working on Tobie's Arclight fast carrier last night. I must say that is one amazing ship. I'm working on interior systems for it atm so progress of other ships may be slower than usuall. Pics of the ship can be seen on his thread. I'll post some quick stats once I get the weapons systems finished up :)

    Little update on what I have been doing lately:
    1. I finished the shell and systems on the NFD Enix heavy drone. Expect a release sometime tomorrow. There might be a video posted to the faction YT channal to go with this release, it depends how lazy I am feeling when I do the release.
    2. I built a tiny little drone to experiment with passive effects. It is 10 mass and it has 40 thrust, 650 shields, 100% overdrive, 60% ion, 30% peirce, and a tiny little swarm missile array. I will post a pic or 2 of it tomorrow and if there is interest, I will release it.
    3. I've put around 25 hours into the NFD Arklight. Pics of the ship can be found on Tobie's thread as he built the exterior of the ship. It's systems are coming along well.
    4. I've got a few older ships that need to be released, and a few other ones that need refits so that they can be re-released.
    5. Also I am considering releasing my Dragonfly personal cruiser. If people show interest in it I will release it.
    Anyway, that is what I've been doing the past few weeks. Any questions about ships or advice on past builds is welcome. Also I'm starting to feel lonely because I'm the only one that has posted on this thread for over 2 months :(

    Enix release has been postponed because I forgot to save it to local and I can't get on to my build server to save it to local because PP hasn't released the update for servers.

    EDIT: Tried downgrading again and this time I was able to connect :)
    Release will be here in about 20 minutes.
