    UPDATE: Time to say a final farewell to the Quantum frigates. Only the newest ones will get rail docking updates, and then development on them will stop.

    Welcome to Trident Industries, the home of the Quantum heavy frigates and many other high-quality vessels. We are a shipbuilding alliance with a focus on creating fast, powerful, detailed, and most of all, affordable, vessels for the multiverse. We also operate fleets of these ships in our quest for peace.

    Our new base is on the
    NFD Build Server if anyone wants to check it and our fleet out!

    We also now have a website at
    trident-official.enjin.com! It will be used to recruit new builders, showcase WIP content, and share other Industry-related content. You do not have to be a member of the Industry to join the site.



    Current ship catalog (As of 22nd April 2015):

    Fighters

    Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter by crazyf22raptor (link) : A fast and powerful heavy fighter with a range of weapons making it suitable for a wide range of operations.
    Hammerhead Medium Fighter (link) and Rebuild (link) : Agile fighters utilising rapid cannon weapons and high maunverability coupled with a small target profile to outwit and outmanuver enemies. Rebuild is also equipped with small missiles for hull destruction.
    Corvettes
    Hyperion Corvette (link) : A fast, agile, and fairly powerful light corvette, best suited as a fast raider or patrol vessel. Also used as a training vessel for our faction's newer members.
    Riot Hyperion (link) : An armored counterpart to the standard Hyperion, she has much more protection at the expense of thrust and jump drive charge.
    Mercury Corvette (link) : A fairly maneuverable corvette designed for scouting duties, featuring a 16 second jump charge and scanners for basic scouting duties.
    Cobra Corvette (link) : Another high-quality battle corvette that is a deadly anti-corvette vessel, with missiles capable of tearing apart a Hyperion in one shot.
    Frigates
    Quantum pack (link) : A set of 16 declassified heavy frigates, based on the same primary hull design, but gradually expanded and strengthened over time. Constantly updated with additional Quantums, new and old, whenever they are found.
    Medium Artillery Ship (
    link) : Essentially a mobile gun, it features strong railguns with Ion and Punch-through effects capable of quickly downing shields, then delivering a devastating blow to ship systems.
    Fast Response Quantum (link) : A devastating member of the Quantum series with a new emphasis on jumping.
    Quantum Rogue by crazyf22raptor (link) : A new update on the Prototype Quantum, this improved version packs devastating new swarmers and a new color scheme.
    RP Quantum (link) : A total refit of Quantum 9 to include a full interior, with everything a starship needs.
    Exploration Frigate (link) : After two months, this RP vessel is finally completed, featuring crazy's most epic exterior yet and a new interior crafted exclusively by me.
    Cruisers
    Paladin Cruiser (no link): Our WIP 481m mainline cruiser.
    Anything larger
    None yet! Stay tuned for updates!
    Stations
    Deep-space Outpost (link) : This station is designed to operate on the frontier and includes Quantum-level shields as well as extensive defensive systems.
    Older vessels (No longer updated):
    Doombringer Escort fighter (link) : An old experimental fighter, with an Isanth-VI style design, but designed to be more powerful at the expense of shields.
    Dauntless Blockade Runner (link) : My first ship upload, intended to be a fast vessel capable of breaking enemy lines, but turned out to be sub-par in performance to equivalent ships.

    We hope you find our vessels more than satisfactory for your own uses.

    Fast Response Quantum added to the lineup, and is also available in the Quantum Pack!



    With an 8 second jump charge and our new technology, holographic armor, it is a devastating vessel with a new emphasis on jumping.
    Excellent design!
    Although holographic armor doesn't sound effective to me, after all a hologram is just an image.

    It's a name we came up with for the new armor, it just looked a bit ghostly so we thought 'let's call it holographic armor' xD

    Besides, in Star Trek we see how holograms can act exactly like the real thing with proper emitters.
    (skip to 1:57 for holographic gun vs real Borg)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In other news, the Riot Hyperion has just been completed! She features a reinforced frame with holographic armor hardpoints.



    It should be awaiting approval now.

    if you like the idea to the holographic armor, feel free to use it for your own ships I finished this a while ago.

    WIP shots of our latest project, the as-yet unnamed Exploration Frigate! (ignore the tiny vessel in the background)



    The vessel will be an RP-oriented ship which will be capable of supporting a crew of 12 in relative comfort while they explore the galaxy.



    A shot of a typical corridor inside the ship.



    We cannot wait until this is complete so we can share this with you guys. Please, if you see something that can be improved, don't hesitate to tell us.

    -snip-
    Sweet ships you have here. Good job on the detailing on all of them and very nice interior on the RP Quanum.
    Quantum* xD had to correct it...

    Bit of a late reply, but I'm glad other people (not just us) like our vessels now we've shared them with the multiverse. It certainly makes me feel good knowing we've provided something to the community after all this time just sitting on Nass.
    And if there is anything that could be improved, we're totally open to suggestions.

    NEWS!!!
    New quantum almost finished its called the Rogue. I'm just finding the best effects for the ship but all it say is its built of the Q-10 and is designed for long term missions by its self. It also has its own colour scheme.

    ( I hope I can get Jamster0000 to post this asap thank you for your support)

    Slightly off topic:
    I'm really liking the trend towards smaller ships both here and on servers ever since the blueprints change. It gives each player a greater sense of agency and makes true titans far more awe inspiring than they used to be.

    The ships we build (Quantum's mainly) are adapted for different combat situations making them epic in battle now I try to improve and refine them so they can deal with more than 1 situation. they can be deadly foes agents most ships. (especially agents ships bigger than its self.)

    Small ships is basically our specialty xD

    In other news, work on the Exploration Frigate is nearing completion and should be ready within a day. No new pics yet though.

    The work on the Exploration Frigate is taking longer than planned, and won't be finished today.

    But, we have another new ship to showcase! crazyf22raptor's Quantum Rogue!
    (Since his post doesn't have pics I'll put them here)







    This vessel is designed for deep-space, solo combat missions far from home.

    Now available at Starmade Dock!

    Great design, although I'd've used orange instead of yellow. This yellow seems so…idk.
