    This one reminds me a bit of elite dangerous

    That was the idea!

    I had initially set out to build a replica Cobra but ended up getting a little frisky / lazy and ended up with this... interesting piece of work. I do intend to follow through and churn out a replica eventually, as well as one of my beloved vulture. <3

    Its been a while huh?

    Heres some news!


    Taiga gets a refit, third generation! Pre-AMC for life.

    Fighters keep popping out of nowhere.

    Hagi is finally back under construction, just needs systems and interior!

    I watched too much macross and made some variable geometry fighters and drones.

    Some exploration ships were made.

    Hrnnghhh.

    Some pretty interiors happened.

    Some drones were made.

    Man those interiors though...

    Some nostalgia also happened. Might have to recommission the Aetherius now that carriers are a thing.

    To those wondering, I've been extremely busy IRL. Don't worry though, I'm not dead yet; but I may be working on -real- spaceships one day soon(tm).​

    Took me a moment to realize this picture had been taken in-game, and wasn't some concept art or cgi piece. That is one GORGEOUS screenshot (and ship)!

    Keep up the good work man!

    I promise I'm not dead guys. Still got my nose to the grindstone; but I managed to find time to finish this beauty today.
    I'm proud to introduce the SFW. Manta, atmospheric fighter extraordinaire! Bomber / Dropship maybe sometime this eon.



    Some other stuff is happening too; slowly...!







    I hope to see more of you guys again Soon(TM).

    I still follow all your shipyard threads on here; keep up the amazing work!​

    More updates! Can't believe it eh? Neither can I. And a WIP at that, I never post those... ;P

    This, as of yet unnamed, beauty is the spiritual successor to a couple of classic SFW escort carriers.

    Namely: the SFW. Polaris, and SFW. Adrestia.

    She also takes after grandma Hagi with those sweet, sweet engines. I think the detailing style on this one may be a bit clean compared to my usual style; but it seems like its working so far. If you guys have any thoughts, or suggestions, please leave them here!​

    The new carrier is coming along swimmingly! I'm running the dev build too; so expect some completely insane features on this baby. Including a functional computer operating system, damage control sensors, fighter tracking, dynamic HUD, functional crew consoles... and more!

    With these new features I feel like its time to complete work on the Hagi as well.

    The shell is already done and cleaned out. She's just missing an interior and systems... coming soon. [TM]

    Oh, and wait till you see these babies next to each other. Its a sight to behold.​

    I keep on looking at the Hagi and can't decide if it's only 100 meters long, or more like 300. It's driving me crazy. :p

    Also, looks fantastic. You've got fantasticness on top of your fantastic. *takes notes*

    Alright, so during the course of building this carrier, I've come up with some neat new missile "sprites".

    I'm happy to present... something a little different! The SFX-B101 missile.

    Sorry to break it to ya buddy, but those missiles will be broken once the flora get their models in place of sprites. :P Though the capsules and light rods should look better at that point.

    Granted; but man, the models will [likely] make even BETTER missiles!
