United Colonial Systems Shipwright

[Sven_The_Slayer]

The UCS is a conglomerate company founded to colonize the vastness of space. We primarily deal with constructing a wide array of space faring vessels for the civilian market to fit any budget. These starships include freighters of various size, design, and role as well as civilian escort craft.

The Salvage and Mining Branch builds mission specific freighters for either mining or salvage operations.


The UCS is hard at work refitting every ship in our current catalogue, we will update this page as new ships are released.

Spoiler: Old stuff

So far I've started working on the Yacht, The Longsword, Shortsword, Rapier, and Scycle.

Combat in Starmade is a lot more interesting now that turrets will fire on turrets. No longer to large ships escape battle without a scratch and it's much more fun to engage ships with a large number of turrets. For fun I engaged a MAMMOTH in combat for the first time.

For a freighter the MAMMOTH sure is a tough ship. She may not be able to put up much of a fight but she can sure take a beating. My first combat run was with a Longsword Frigate and I struggled with it. The second combat run was with a Scycle Destroyer (results in picture above). Damage to the ship is much more diverse then it would have been before such as AI missile strikes on turret mounts. Surveying wrecks is one of my favorite things about Starmade

impressive not many freighters can withstand that much damage for what I have noticed atleast especially vecs ships lol also surveying wrecks is one of my favorite things to do as well and also a little tip when placing your weapons systems etc don't place them in the bridge because every time I go against one of your ships all I have to do to take it down is to take out the bridge lol so my advice is make a separate room inside the ship with all your weapon systems etc NOT in the front of the ship or the core room anyways keep up the great work!

Actually all the weapon computers are always in the core room. I use computers for displays on the bridge but they are never connected to anything.

UCS Ships have always been tough and hardy, and will almost certainly get the job done. I found out the hard way

thanks for the info! also the AMC systems in the Scycle were in the bridge BTW so I thought all your ships had the same thing done but it was probably just a mistake

The only ship I know of that had a weapons computer on the bridge that was actually connected to the weapons is the Shortsword Gunboat. I had to move the core with Smedit and when I did that it connected every AMC to every computer, so all three computers could fire the guns.

I request of the U.C.S. to join the Unified Alliance of Factions. Please go to the forums then to factions and find the page named U.A.F. Restart.

Technically the U.C.S. is not a faction, just a lone builder

Sven! Great work as always. Happy to see you back building. Does the UCS have any new ships underway?

I've not begun any new projects as of late and it will take quite a while as I intend to refit every ship in my fleet with new systems but I am hesitant as the thrust system feels unbalanced to me and might be changed. Fortunately my ships are small and built in such a way that I can strip the engines and power cores without much effort.

 

[SkylordLuke]

woah,i think i need to ask for your permission to use these ships for my starmade cinematic? great ships!!!!

 

[Tacotown99]

um btw when will the carrier be leaveing drydock or is it voiddock

 

[Sven_The_Slayer]

um btw when will the carrier be leaveing drydock or is it voiddock

I really want to submit my carrier for that Starmade Ship Showcase, that it may get into the trailer. I'm still having builders block on finishing the last two empty rooms but I'll finish the hull with new shapes and updated turrets and release it in some form or another.

I plan on doing nothing but Starmade this evening so I'll should have some ships being uploaded.

 

[Tacotown99]

ya this way i wont have to try to follow those anonnoying broken links on the old site

 

[Sven_The_Slayer]

Well this is proving more frustrating then I thought it would... Every ship and turret seems to have their weapons all disconnected and will only re-connect after I replace the weapons computer. All the turret mounts also seem to be no longer connected to enhancers. This is especially weird because I have already been in combat since the update and those ship weapons and turrets all seemed to be working fine then. Also when I fix the turrets and re-mount them they never stay pointed in the direction they should and end up halfway in the ship...

I have the same bug just reload the game and it fixes the issue.

 

[Sven_The_Slayer]

I have most of my light capitol line refit so I just need to start uploading them

"Due to structure changes all UCS/UCC ships will be re-serialized." With all the new corner blocks and new site/upload system I've decided to re-serialize my ships.

 

[Reilly Reese]

Nice freighter man Got any more images?

 

[MineCatFTW]

Ooh, can't wait to see how you use the new blocks. I've loved your ships so far, keep it up!
