Good day, weary pilots of marvelous vessels. I would like to share with you some creations of mine, some old, some new, some still works in progress. When designing such feats of engineering I mostly start with exterior, then internal systems, followed by the realisation that an interior is also something one should have. Consequently, interiors of the following vessels tend to be quite bare. In any case, I hope you enjoy.
[ Newly Finished Ships ]
[ Work in Progress ]
Homeworld 2 Dreadnought (Dreadnaught according to homeworld)
[ Older Ships ]
Swoosh-1000
A 307m long ship, focused on missile assault and defense. The main hull is equipped with 64, 170k damage lock on missiles and a substantial complement of swarmers. There are 16 anti missile turrets covering almost all angles. Finally we have 3 medium and 1 large anti ship turret, all with the new turret system.
Of course it also has substantial shielding and jumpdrive capabilities.
The design was based on this LEGO model.

Homeworld 2 Dreadnought (Dreadnaught according to homeworld)
Started out as an obj file from the original homeworld 2 game, smeditted into the game, then cleaned up the hull. Now after a ton of wedging and some painting it's at the 'bland' stage. Still a long way to go.
[ Older Ships ]
For this one I took a different route than usual, started with a frame only composed of a massive salvage array and a powergenerator made as compact as possible. The outer hull was added afterwards. This is actually the second iteration, the first was built before tweaks to salvage arrays, so after that update I had a lot of power to spare. So I added more salvage beams, making this a little front heavy.
The main idea was to get a powerful salvager that was as manoeuvrable as possible, had decent jump capabilities and some basic defenses against pirates.

An older ship (~1 year), made to look beautiful, not much more.
Rattlesnake Corvette
A smaller ship, which I apparently hadn't saved locally with all its systems (excuse the empty areas).
I might fix it someday.
That's it for now.

More image!
