    Hi, I'm Samwiz1, and this is a thread for me to post my organic ships in. Lately I've been playing on the Light vs Dark server, and i noticed that the Dark factions outnumbered the Light 10 to 1, so I made a faction and joined Light. (sorry for advertising, just a bit of backdrop xD) I realized if i wanted my faction to be unique i had to have something that was a polar opposite of the factions of the Odium Alliance, a prominent alliance on the server and currently the strongest force.

    So i went on to the Stardock and searched words such as "tree" and "organic", but nothing really seemed to fit my wants. I wanted ships that looked like they ran through a forest and crashed into every single bloody plant in it. So I decided to make my own Organic ships. Happy tree ships. Happy little tree ships designed to hand you your own @$$ on a silver platter. So, I'll have screenshots of my entire organic fleet here and links to the downloads for your own convinience. This was made at a time when i was really tired, so if it's a bad move that's my justification.

    Let's start from the top:

    20170115150823_1.jpg
    King's Station
    King's Station, the homebase of my faction and base of operations for everything i don't do on singleplayer. Constantly being modified to suit server needs, so if you visit in game the station will look a bit different than this.

    20170121165614_1.jpg
    Blackberry Frigate
    The BlackBerry class Frigate, the first large-ish ship for me to make. It took a severe overdose of turret pills and those things sprouted. 1 Mil shields, fairly decent all around fleet ship.

    53398_2a1060791238726475cb67eeedd89551.jpg
    Thorn Fighter
    The Thorn class Fighter, which i plan to use in a carrier. Single, inefficient jump drive, permanent and 4 medium cannons. Low armor and shields for maneuverability.

    20170126190220_1.jpg
    Great Oak Battleship
    The Great Oak class Battleship, designed for siege and direct attack missions. Insane amount of turrets make up for limited weapons, which would be quad rapid fire ion cannons and 2 heavy explosive missiles. Currently largest ship in the fleet.

    20170206202526_1.jpg
    Grapevine Mini Carrier -Cannon Drones-
    The Grapevine Mini Carrier, a very small carrier i made to understand carrier functions and to have small scale battles for fun with some of my more friendly enemies. Page comes with a very detailed how-to on it so as to avoid confusion by the user.



    Fern Logic Jumper
    The Fern Logic Jumper is a small transport ship with large storage. The Logic Drive in it itself was a donation from my friend Nosakimiki of Merc Dragons, and the rest of the ship i designed around it. This ships is essentially designed for galaxy crossing and even re-settling. Light shields and a permajammer give it enough protection to ignore pirate stations en route and the drive charges fast enough to avoid sun damage.

    20170205224119_1.jpg
    Birch Claim Outpost
    The Birch Claim Outpost. A fairly small economy station with large docking extensions and small turrets. It has all the necessities of a decent station, and is weak on just about every scale. Good for Fighter battle simulations and living in the void.



    Here ends my completed ships, so I think i'll add a section for screenshots of work-in-progress just to prove that this fleet might actually get somewhere.

    Under Construction:

    Cactus class Destroyer: Will have strong ion missiles and be made as a support craft, meant to attack from long range, and will be able to assist in siege by draining target shields faster than any other ship in the fleet. Will have a few turrets and light shields, hopefully good impulse and a jammer as well. No screenshots as of yet.




    Welp, I'm out of ships for the moment, so I guess i'll end the thread opening here. If you're seeing this, thanks for reading all the way through and leave a comment if you like :D

    Great Oak class Battleship. I plan to add a bunch of turrets and organic elements to it. Currently has a layer of Standard Brown armor underneath wood for reinforced hull. 4 Rapid Fire Ion cannons, can drain 5 mil shields in around 15 seconds depending on regen. 2 Heavy explosive Missiles for damage once target's shields are down. Atm, about 11 mil shields. Estimated time to completion: 2 days.

    Some useful ships to have a look at if you haven't yet.

    Kingofanime_Fleet_Submission_1
    "fleet of plant ships"

    Deku Miner Mining Tree. ...I mean Ship.
    "The Deku Miner is a mining vessel with trees on it.
    Or maybe its a mass of trees that grew over some old mining vessel."


    Starmade Grade Christmas Tree
    self-explanatory
    Holiday Tree
    self-explanatory



    I would also recommend doing running updates for the King's Station, at the moment it is quite simple, however, if you keep updating you will eventually make it an attractive base. As for the Great Oak Class, firstly, try some variation in the main structure others it looks a bit bland. And secondly, I would not recommend using it against the Great Oak Class on Light vs Dark for your war against many dark factions.
    Lately I've been playing on the Light vs Dark server, and I noticed that the Dark factions outnumbered the Light 10 to 1, so I made a faction and joined Light
    Too significant odds, I'd recommend trying to get some allies.

    Huh, i was unaware of the fleet by KingOfAnime, but everything else i knew about, which is why I'm making normal ships before i design a miner. And yeah, allies are something I need, but members would help too...? :3

    Anyways the Great Oak is gonna have mounted turrets and plenty of decoration in the form of outstanding wood and foliage shapes, so i'll just keep working on it.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    Great Oak Battleship just released. Now that i have a small fighter, a medium frigate, and large battleship i can finally relax a bit about this not being a complete fleet. yey

    Surely this would be better in the Shipyard forum rather than the Fan art/Screenshots one?

    hrm i guess i saw all the fighter/bomber porn stuff and decided that my topic would mostly be similar to those, rather than a section labeled "shipyard", which made me assume it was literally a section for shipyards. Welp, even if it would be a better place for it It's not as if i could change it. Besides, this thread is more just a collection of all my ships into one place, if only so i can see what they all look like side by side. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

    Just uploaded the Birch Claim Outpost to add to my ranks of organic things. It's not strong or anything, but it's a happy little station :D

    Uploaded the Grapevine Mini-Carrier in response to the entirety of votes being for an organic carrier. It may be small, but it's fun to play with. Enjoy!
