The Omega Shipyard

[hindos]

It\'d be nice to see some sort of escorting craft to go with that. Btw is Shikia by any chance inspired by Futurama?

 

[Shophaune]

Someone I used to RP with was known as Shikia.

hmmm, you should really consider putting the core somewhere else (using SMedit). what kind of role does it have? is it build for the looks? i don\'t think so, because there is no interior to speak of and the shape is maybe a bit strange(at least, thats what i think, but maybe its just not my cup of tea). is it for pvp? no. 2.5 mil shields is pretty good, but say a ship has 4 cannons that do 1000 damage a shot. say they shoot 4 times a second. they will bust through your shield in a minute. then what? thats when you die (or you are really good at dodging lasers with such a big ship, not to mention rockets).

so having the core in the front always puts you at a disadvantage. it will only make you die faster, and i think thats a very odd design desission. your ship is still able to beat the crap out of pirates (if they are not the same size as your ship) but you will always lose against other people with ships that are the same size as yours.

i\'m not trying to sound like a jerk here so sorry if i do. just put the core in the middle of the ship and it will be pretty good. for designing ships: try building a long ship. go for 2 dimensions, otherwise it will look like a box ( my suggesion: make it long and high, or long and wide). you can always look for inspiration here on the forums.

excuses for my english, im from the netherlands.

1. I actually used SMEdit to put the core at the front.
2. It is built for removing \'obstructions\', wether that\'s an asteroid or a group of fighters.
3. It does have a slight interior, accessed from the upper hanger.
4. If a corvette has 4 cannons doing 4000 DPS each, I\'ll just give up. Even this monster only has 2 cannons that do that.
5. Having the core at the front means that...ok I\'ve got nothing.
6. This ship is designed to engage frigates at the largest. Not battleships. Of course I will lose against people in battlecruisers/ships.
7. I am quite happy with the shape personnaly.
8. How do you know so much about my ship? There is no download and I built it in singleplayer.

 

[xandervm]

you seem slightly upset. i don\'t know much about your ship. i just looked at the pictures and red the comments.

i just think its strange that somebody would want to put the core at the front, even doing going so far to change the location of the core using SMedit. everybody places their core at a safe place. you are the only one who doesnt, and im just curious why you didn\'t.

of course this ship would lose against bigger ships, heck, most ships would lose against bigger ships. but say: you are fighting a ship with the same size, but a core in the middle. after a while of shooting each other both your shields break. who would win? the guy with the protected core or the one with the core in the front? the guy with the proctected core ofcourse! so this ship would have problems fighting ships its own size, but even smaller ships that manage to get behind you and take out the small turrets, and break through the shields. So a group of fighters would still give you a hard time.

i\'m glad you like your ship. its great to build a ship your\'e completely content about. i\'m not saying its an ugly ship. i\'m just not \"feeling\" it, it just doesn\'t has the \"X-factor\" some ships do.

 

[Shophaune]

I\'m sorry I sounded upset, I just couldn\'t work out how you knew about the interior when none of the pictures show it. Also, the core is at the front because I moved it inside the ship before I actually built the access for the interior, so it was more moving it back than moving it.

 

[xandervm]

i just guessed that since the core is outside and there are no pictures of the interior, the ship doesnt have one (but i guess i was wrong).

It is a big ship, it has a lot of shields and ,if you were to put the core in a more protected area, its a strong ship.

just keep up the good work

Honestly you should call it a frigate or something bigger, but its your classification and ship, so call it whatever you want(The Shikia)

 

[Shophaune]

If I went with Blitzwing\'s guide, the Shikia would be a titan. However, I class by \'Relative Size\'. That means that, the next size up is the next class up, no matter how large the gap is.

 

[Tilbo]

These are amazing.

 

[Shophaune]

Thank you very much Tilbo! I was inspired a bit by ColdGravitizer. (That is, the black shape at the heart of that wonderful ship)
