throwing my ships online, let me know what you think and how i could improve on the hulls

first up, banshee class cruiser
L: 188m H: 39 W: 81
currently 1.4million e/sec

Spoiler: Banshee

 

[Shaker]

Exile Destroyer
L: 373 H: 86 W: 165
currently 5.4million e/sec with 4 generators

Spoiler: Destroyer

the original Hull was UNSC DD-366 Destroyer , after about 4 large modifications this is what ive so far ended up with

 

[Spartan4845]

Can't see them, just white squares.

 

[Shaker]

should be fixed now

 

[Calhoun]

You seem to be lacking Point defense Turrets.

 

[Shaker]

These ships have PvP in mind, my PD are a little larger than the norm/pve versions.
They have shotgun and 60%ams built in a 360 spin turret that looks like a little rocket pod.

Currently the destroyer has 4, im getting my fight count up and looking for weaknesses

 

[hzzzln]

I really like them. If I can add some critique, some more detail/greebling on the main body and the engine would maybe look good, and the insides of the thrusters are quite flat, that could also be improved. Other than that, great ships. I love the overall shape.

 

[Shaker]

add some critique

Thanks, thats why i uploaded them. I know with PvP its all about function, but having some good looks does help

 

[Shaker]

[Shaker]

the list of the ships that never got finished last year, tried a bunch of different designs but these were the most finished(picture worthy) while i was in the exiled faction.

Spoiler: 2016 Graveyard

Corvette - aiming for 10k mass

Hunter - aiming for 20k mass

Havoc - aiming for 1.5-2 million blocks

SC-1 - aiming for 1 million blocks

SC-2 - aiming for 1.5-2 million blocks

Around December last year, i formed a new faction ATLAS. we quickly rebuilt from the small starting resources. we have roughly 20 members (most inactive...).
So with a new start, a new design style came about for the year 2017!

 

[Shaker]

January 2017 ATLAS faction

Most of my designs were off a fellow members ship, was aiming for a faction which uses the same base design then mods it out to make it their own. We have since changed from that view and focused more on just showing the faction colours.

Generation 1 of ATLAS ships

Spoiler: GEN 1 ATLAS Miners

D830 Miner and D530 miner infront

yeah, im a fan of thruster plumes

Spoiler: GEN 1 ATLAS Warships

Names: Corvega / Bentley / RollsRoyce
Blocks: 660k / 540k / 330k
Shields : 16m / 12m / 6m

 

[Gasboy]

I like how they all look like they are from the same fleet.

 

[Shaker]

We had a couple of members using the same style, it looked good and made fleets of players look more organised.

Better than an x-wing, startrek enterprise and a mass effect ship flying together haha

 

[Shaker]

bringing this thread up to date, craftau server has been abit low since the power change announcement. so been working on my next generation of ships, all these ships are still works in progress.

Spoiler: GEN 2 ATLAS Frigates

both miners are based off the central escort ships chassis. saves a complete rebuild and helps keep the theme.

700 miner / Escort ship / 900 miner

Spoiler: GEN 2 ATLAS Fighters

Spoiler: GEN 2 ATLAS Capitals

Coming Soon
but a sneak peek at the progress

 

[Gasboy]

Them engines on the miners.

Nice work, on everything.

Also, is that your ship in the video or are you the one talking. I watched it last night.

EDIT: Aha, it was your ship. What colour did you end up deciding upon for that greebly section under the shuttlebay?

 

[Shaker]

Still havent fully decided yet, So far Ive gone with greys to keep with an industrial theme, have used abit more red aswell.

It's a good looking ship. Is it meant to be a carrier of some sort, or is that hanger bay just going to hold a few shuttles?

 

[Shaker]

carrier

Not really big enough for multiple ships in the hanger, the idea was to fit a dropship in but i could fit a scout/fighter on a roof rack.

Im currently terrible at interior, all of my older ships were just a core room and corridor, when i started up atlas and started playing with Dane and Surge ive started to fill the ships with more rooms, the corvega vid in my signature pretty much shows the amount of interior i had for all of Gen1 atlas ships.

Also on a side note i started working on your ship you posted in the monthly rebuild
