Welcome to the home of the Solaris Combine Shipwerks, servicing the needs of the Solaris Combine and its posthuman overlords! If you're here, you're either looking to buy our fine merchandise, which you rightly should desire, or we've 'accidentally' converted your solar system into a dyson sphere and you're here to lodge a formal complaint. We'll just assume the former, because it's better for us and less aggravating for you!
So what makes Combine ships so special? Well, for starters, we don't waste space on pesky life support or pressure hulls. Too expensive. Don't need 'em. You need to breathe you can do it in someone else's deathtraps.
What we do offer is a comprehensive and high-tech solution to the universal problem of too many living things and not enough dead things. Each component of our amazing, state-of-the-art murderwagons is lovingly hand-crafted by the cold, uncaring manipulators of our massive automated manufactories. Take our patented Halo Drive, for example. Just by swishing some anti-matter around some rings, we simultaneously create rotating exotic electro-magnetic fields that super-cavitate space-time and allow our ships to accelerate to superluminal speeds AND release massive amounts of cancer causing radiation! Neat! Just don't let anybody shoot at it. Seriously, don't.
To better protect our big fancy super-donuts, we put them on the back of our ships. And then we put armor on the front. Pretty simple stuff, really. Now, you might notice that Combine ships don't have any windows. Don't need 'em! That big, sexy carapace is made from polarized redluminum, a rare and incredibly expensive, incredibly difficult to produce material that allows us to comfortably armor our delicate ship-parts, while being able to discretely watch your every move. Like the mirrors in interrogation rooms. Just think. You can't see us. But we're in there. Watching you. Judging.
Now, while our ships are configured to bring the maximum amount of firepower and armor to bear directly ahead of them, sometimes the flow of battle takes you in another direction. Like a broadside. We do NOT recommend broadsides. But if you do find yourself sidled up to some ornery customer, worry not! Our ships are also configured to bring at least most of their firepower to bear in a broadside. But that doesn't make their side armor any less rubbish. Also it voids your warranty. You've been warned!
Without further ado, we'll leave you peruse our fine selection of genocide engines.
Please note: some (read most) of these are placeholders. They will be available at a later date. Probably
Weapons
Here you will find all of the modular weapon systems used by Combine ships. Use of standardized weapon systems speeds up refit and allows admirals to tailor ship performance to suit a variety of roles.
Razorback Light Turret
Available here. 6-pack
The smallest mass produced turret in the Combine arsenal. That's it. They have a mohawk. So that's pretty neat.
Shredder CIWS
Get yours here! 6-pack
The Shredder Close in Weapon System is a marvel of modern technology. This small, rapid fire turret is designed for killing fighters and strike craft, but its high rate of fire make it equally effective against larger targets. Its only shortcoming is its range. Which is pitiful.
Peacemaker Medium Assault Turret
Get you some!
Designed to fit any Combine standard medium mount, the Peacemaker fires swarms of supercharged nanites at its target, overloading shields and devouring the hull beneath. Mmm, scrumptious! It's like a double-barrel shotgun for spaceships.
Widowmaker Medium Sniper Turret
Never know what hit'em!
The widowmaker was developed as part of the Advanced Weapons and Defense Research Provision's (A.W.De.R.P) Project Hunter to provide some much needed long-range capability to Combine warships. Built to be compatible with Combine standard medium turret mounts, the Widowmaker boasts ranges of up to 800m, though the crippling heat generated by its single-coil linear light-mass accelerator precludes rapid fire functionality.
Spacecraft
Below are listed all of the ships currently in production by the Combine Shipwerks. We can't guarantee any of them are any good, but we can guarantee that we have a strict no refund policy. And you can take that to the bank!
Suppressor Drone
Get yours today! 6-pack
The Suppressor drone could best be described as an answer to the challenge to design a less useful fighter. Meant to confuse, annoy, and baffle more than debilitate or destroy, Suppressors are carried in some capacity by all warships. Tedious to configure, and with a limited operation time, these are really only useful as decoys. 'Smart chaff' as we like to call them.
Fang Interceptor
Get it here. 6-pack
The Fang interceptor is designed as a disposable alternative to point defense. Lightly armored, but sporting the firepower of a Shredder, these nimble little buggers will make short work of enemy fighters. If only they didn't use a toaster for an onboard computer, we might get them to shoot at enemy turrets, too. Wouldn't that be swell!
Talon Heavy Gunship
This way to get one
The talon is the workhorse of Combine fleets. Rugged, dependable, and versatile, they are deployed as gunships to shore up the point-defense of capital ships, as dropships to deliver fearsome Combine troops during planetfall, or as support gunships for ground forces. And seriously. Those little leggy things are adorable.
Tusk Fast Attack Craft
While supplies last!
The Tusk fills the role of a Fast Attack Craft in much the way that a cat fills a fishbowl. Which is to say, remarkably well, considering how solid and non-pourable a cat appears at first glance. With two fixed-mounted Peacemakers and a unique Dual Linear Light Mass Driver for armaments, the Tusk is quite well suited to taking out corvette class vessels, and in packs they can even bring down destroyers. Throw enough sharp sticks at something it's bound to die sooner or later, that's the Combine's motto!
Seeker Corvette
Now in stock here.
The Seeker is the smallest warship produced by the Combine Shipwerks. Sporting advanced sensors, a full-size Halo Drive, a complement of the ubiquitous Suppressor drones and enough firepower to make a small asteroid quake with fear, the Seeker enjoys deployment as a picket ship, or in fleet actions as a fast-response attack ship.
Hunter Frigate
Slayer Destroyer
Maw Light Carrier
Stalker Cruiser
Predator Battlecruiser
Ravager Battleship
Devourer Fleet Carrier
Despoiler Assault Carrier
Harrower Leviathan
