Show me your small fighters!

[KuramaFox]

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

Sometimes you need a little less gun. c:

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.

 

[Da_Boom]

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.

ATLAS-5

Weaponry: 2x 25 long side AMC

3x 12 long bottom AMC

2x 12 long top AMC

3x Rapidfire AMC Turrets

Thrust: 88.8



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:



Pls tell which one you like best. :D

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

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.

 

[Riftmaster]

I saw this and decided to build an 80-mass-or-under fighter.

Here tis, FWIW:

[jstenholt]

I obsolutely love this fighter. It just has such a nice look to it, I want to take it out to dinner.

 

[Yuzul]

building a few ships for my new carrier. this is one of them.

mass 18.4
l: 13m, h: 8m, w: 10m
Thrust 37,5
Shields 6334(428s/sec) Recovery 0.5

amc:
33x
dmg 25.3
dist: 330

 

[MisterVec]

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.

 

[Pixelboy]

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)

 

[Riftmaster]

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.

 

[marineten]

the only thing i dont like about this game is all the big ships and cubes its nice to see some fighters!

can somone make the vic viper from graduis?

 

[marineten]

[MisterVec]

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.

 

[Riftmaster]

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?

 

[Tacotown99]

super size it to corvet class

 

[Tacotown99]

your Valkyrie looks like a thunderbolt from warhammer 40K http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Thunderbolt
