Hello StarMade community!
I've been playing StarMade for around two-three weeks now and have had a lot of great ideas. My newest, and most ambitious project idea is to design a fleet based off a couple of references.
my first is the Necrons from Games Workshop games such as Warhammer 40,000, Battlefield Gothic, and Rogue Trader. As soon as I figure out how to post images i will, but their ships have a distinctive Ancient Egyptian feel with their pyramid and occasionally even insectoid shapes.
The second piece of inspiration for me is the Go'auld and their technology from the Stargate franchise. Now, this is the one that really got me going. These ships are again Pyramids, and if I'm not mistaken (keep in mind i've only ever seen the 1995 movie) the Ancient Egyptians based the pyramids on the sights of these glorious craft in the sky.
You can probably see it coming together. I'm going to have a distinctly Ancient-Egyptian looking fleet, with major ships looking like giant floating black pyramids and smaller craft such as foghters and bombers based off insects like scarabs and locusts.
Here's all the lore I could come up with, and will probably stay with when I follow-up with posts about ships:
+++INCOMING TRANSMISSION+++
Commander, we have discovered more ships on the edge of sector gamma-gammma-alpha. We request assistance. They possess highly powered plasma pylon turrets and appear to be giant pyramids. What seems to be their flagship has a large raidal gun platform as well. We are being harried by swarms of two dozen or more fighters distinctly similiar to gigantic locusts. Missile strafes are being reported from larger, scarab-shaped vessels, but they are nowhere near the size of the pyramids. God, the things must be at least two hundred meters tall! Again, requesting assistance. Hang on, the warning sytems are-
