Scratch's Ships

[Scratchmort]

Update:
​

Another WIP, this time it's another Destroyer.

I'm trying to get a bit more shape out of my builds, as much as I like the WIP Cruiser / Battlecruiser, they feel a bit pencil-shaped.

So! I've started work on a Destroyer and a Battleship based around a new hull shape. The BB is just a skeleton atm, so no pics just yet, but the Destroyer is getting there!

SWS Doberman (H-11)

Okay, so this isn't a ship (clearly ) but here's an idea I've been playing around with...it's a target acquisition / scouting periscope!


View attachment 44908


The periscope camera sits in an encasing on top of the ship's bridge and is mounted on a turret ring, with the core mounted inside the bridge at deck level. The idea is that a player can use this to spot targets in a 360 degree arc without having to turn the ship itself. At the moment the periscope only has horizontal rotation but I might play around with this idea a little more and improve on it.

Edit: Since been informed that this thing is pretty much redundant, Whoops™
​

​

Personally, I think this is a great idea. Doesn't matter that it's redundant in SM. It's freaking cool for rp.

Update:

Starling Co. Centauri-Class Frigate (WIP)

SCO Centauri

​

The Centauri-Class is going to be my first attempt at a fully-interiored RP ship, although I feel that the hull is versatile enough that I could also make salvaging / cargo hauling variants of it.

At the moment, the exterior topside is done, just gotta do the underside and add some detailing (radar dishes & masts, docks, windows, etc.)

I'm also planning a variant that will be used in the SWS fleet as a hospital ship.

Ha, thanks! Yeah, I make quite a few practically-useless RP things on my ships to entertain myself :P

Damn, this entire fleet looks really cool! Your Elena kinda reminds me of my old Dunkleosteus heavy destroyer, and the new build style you're adopting looks really promising! keep it up, you'll go a long way

Tell me that there will be some turrets on this ship! O.O

Thanks! I'd love to see a pic of Dunkleosteus sometime if you still have any images of her floating around :P

I wanna stick some side-mounted turrets on her but tbh I'm having a hard time figuring out where they should go lol!

On the sides, duh.

Joking aside, I've recently built a very similarly shaped ship - much smaller, but with low-profile top and bottom PD turrets that I think could fit very well on yours as well. Considering the size of your ship, they could be scaled up to provide a bit more oomph, and mounted in proper barbettes for more volume. I'll see if I can find a good image.

I got this ancient Imgur album, the ship has long been discontinued sadly
