    just another stalled project and looking for some ideas or pointers would be helpful

    as for what i had planned was a bc about 500 long four main cannons in the front afew big turrets maybe of my tri gun design
    i have most of the frame work done and pretty much the sides and most of the back done always with room for change like im thinking of scraping the whole back half because it looks to square ish top front needs work but i have been stairing at this ship for afew weeks now and i got nothing lol builders block starmade-screenshot-0045.png starmade-screenshot-0046.png starmade-screenshot-0047.png starmade-screenshot-0048.png starmade-screenshot-0049.png starmade-screenshot-0050.png

    Keep on going man, looks really promissing.

    Regarding the builders block: When I don't like to build further, I often just begin a new project. For projects that take too long I often reevaluate why I don't like to detail or build it further. The next project then often incorportates a solution to this problem. Often enough it was because I just started too big and got tired of detailing for example a 50m long turret.

    I love that I did not see the colony you were glassing until I zoomed in... next time, you could just bring a bosson.
    Overkill is the best kill when you don't know what situation you're flying into.

    New frigate I'm using to try out power 2.0. I keep getting false starts, as I learn more and more about it.

    This will be the MK-C since it'sthe 3rd prototype I've made from scratch.

    I've put the reactors in front of the stabilizers, since if I lose reactor blocks, my e/sec merely goes down. If I lose stabilizers, my e/sec goes down, and my reactor potentially blows itself up from the strain.

    Sorry for this bit of a necro, but I needed somewhere to show this off, and this thread deserves life!!!

    landed.jpg

    Currently dubbed the "Experimental Personal Transport", or XPT, this small unarmed ship consists of a sphere containing the cockpit and thrusters and a surrounding piece that rotates from a horizontal to vertical position when shifting from landing to flight mode. Currently a prototype, as the name implies, it lacks jump drives, and the mode changing and ramp lowering functions are linked, whereas I'd like to separate these controls in the future.

    I had a gif of this thing in action, but was for some reason unable to get it to upload. :(
