    Aside from often being spiky or having low angle edges, the enemy of a block-based game, most of them are slightly asymetrical.

    I tried that, but taking away from fire speed and adding to anything else somehow ended up increasing the firing speed again. I\'ll mess with it some more... needs more turrets. Almost done with the reactive shielding too.

    Aim at any, i find that im terrible at aiming and another piece of advice, give the pirate\'s ship a good ramming, it will knock them out and cause them to derp around, leaving turrets to make short work of it. I have a fighter box with four turrets, and it can take a group on anyday.

    I made a new version of him called ATLAS-5 V2. In this version i added 2 large guns, removed the turrets and added more shields and 2 missile arrays. Here he is:

    From left to right, regular fighter (was the first ship I built in game, just reinforced and decorated), heavy fighter, and the Kwanart Interceptor. The Kwanart is the only one with a name so far, I\'ve used this design for as long as I\'ve been into Sci-Fi and I\'m quite happy with how it translated into this game. The design of my heavy fighter was used to make a corvette and gunboat in matching style too.



    Pirate Interceptor I designed to add some variety to the mob spawns in my game, these little buggers pack more punch then my fighters but are less armored. Their small size makes them hard targets for my other larger fighters to hit too.

    Here are two of mine.

    Valkyrie Mk.1 Fighter
    http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u373/SafetyTurtle/Valkyrie_Mk1_zpse2eca053.png

    Took a little inspiration from the P51 mustang, pretty happy with it, small, light and fast.

    Jotunn J3C Heavy Fighter

    http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u373/SafetyTurtle/Jotunn_JT3C_zps1f244ce1.png

    This one isn\'t an original design but a modified version of one found on youtube.

    Here\'s the Vecordean Fleetworks Tremelo-class Fighter. It\'s inspired by WWII era designs and comes in an eye-watering black-on-yellow color scheme.

    I have to confess I didn\'t built more ships than these, but I think they look nice enough.

    I don\'t know if you could call the BlueBird a fighter. It has 2 light fighters docked on the sides and one salvaging ship on the bottom. The pirate ships replaced the standard ship for variety.

    BlueBird

    Mass: 108.9 L: 33 H: 13 W: 8

    PowerRegen: 15829.5

    Thrust: 325.3

    Shields: 15103 (801 s/sec)



    The pirate ships:

    Reaper

    Mass: 50.3 L: 19 H: 17 W: 14

    PowerRegen: 8880.3

    Thrust: 82.8

    Shields: 4228 (320 s/sec)



    Scourger

    Mass: 23.8 L: 11 H: 14 W: 14

    PowerRegen: 2337

    Thrust: 38.7

    Shields: 2664 (229 s/sec)



    Imp

    Mass: 8.9 L: 9 H: 8 W: 10

    PowerRegen: 985.9

    Thrust: 21.4

    Shields: 1678 (164 s/sec)

    Most of these ships are quite a bit larger than 80 blocks or less.



    But that\'s kinda reasonable - I found it hard to make an even vaguely cool-looking fighter with that little mass to play with.

    Gradius (Enrish for Gladius) can\'t be made with the current engine at scale size. The voxel resolution is too low to do it justice. It\'s a sweet ship, though.

    But given that these cubes we are working with measure 1 square meter per side, unless that fighter is far larger than it looks it is impossible to do it justice...



    Can you get me some stats in terms of length/width/height and/or weapon loadout?
