I finally have a thread specifically for my UCC line of ships so all updates regarding those ships will be found there including the new scout ship.

http://starmadedock.net/threads/united-colonial-corps-shipyards-and-fleet.734/

I have also uploaded a bunch of UCC ships so make sure to check those out:

• Hummingbird Autonomous Attack Drone
• Sparrow Light Fighter
• Lark MK1 Scout Fighter
• Lark Mk2 Primary Assault Fighter
• Lark Mk3 Carrier Assault Fighter
• Swallow Armored Scout

While I will be quite busy over the next few days my goal is to release the M.A.M.M.O.T.H. and all my current M.A.M.s by the end of this weekend. I've already done the preliminary refit of the M.A.M.M.O.T.H. itself but I'm not entirely happy with the rebuilt engines. I also attempted to build a new M.A.M. that I had been planning for a while but that concept didn't pan out as I had hoped so that project will be scrapped for the time being. I want to move the Core on the Nightingale so that will need to be completely rebuilt, but the freight container and Aeroponics M.A.M.s shouldn't be an issue. I will probably also build a simple Science Lab as well to fit in nicely with my new science ship line.

It was no small feat but I managed to get the MAMMOTH and all of it's additional ships finished, photographed, infographed, uploaded, summarized and posted... This process took roughly 5 hours on top of all the time spent getting the ships ready and refit and all. The new MAMMOTH looks amazing with all the new smoothed out edges, her stats are better and I finally did something substantial with one of the sections that bothered me the first time I released this ship (I added offices cubicles in the rear instead of a non descript control room)

I finally released my first LX ship. The Arcadia, I've been sitting on this design for far too long now as it was designed expecting the new block types. I did the final engine refit, as well as gave the hull a final spit and polish.

hmm i think i remember it form the original page wasn't it a yacht?

You are correct, and it still is a yacht. I'm just not going to call it "Yacht Class" it gets to be something better, it's an "Arcadia Class Yacht". This way I can make more than one yacht if I so choose, and I will eventually expand the LX line to include more luxurious yachts, and maybe even a cruise ship.

 

[Tacotown99]

well sounds like a good plan

I build based on my fleet doctrine, it states most ships must have a dual layer hull. This is what gives my ships most of their signature bulky look. I hope to give future LX ships a sleeker more luxurious looking design but options are limited on a small ship while building with the tight parameters as I do. I don't know why I always establish building "rules" when I play games but I do. I even had building codes to follow in Minecraft.

lol you take building to a whole new level don't you... also if you need any help with ship detail work im always here I have nothing else to do so if you like I could help with your ship models .

Now added to our construction catalog The Ostrich

I've also been working more on my science line, which is now up to three ships. I'm very pleased with the shuttles asymmetrical front.

This ships would look 1000 times better without the tetra penta lighting bugs...

Keep up the GREAT work Sven_The_Slayer.

I built a house.

I just needed to post something here as I accidentally posted to the wrong thread. In this picture though you can see my UCS Civilian Escort Fighter known as the Hammerhead (not to be confused with the UCC Hammer Class Light Carrier) this is my first attempt at a civilian line fighter and I want to expand the line before a release. She gets her name hammer head because the nose is hardened while the rest of the ship is not to cut down on cost. However, the name may change when more Civilian escorts are built.

great house! also the fighter looks pretty good but I recommend add some hardened hull on the front of the wing sections to provide a little more protection .

I love the ostriches color scheme it fits perfectly!

So what has the UCS been up to you may ask? Well I've been building a station to call home on Trace Build server

Additionally I've created a few ships for my LX line including a solar sailor and a sports shuttle. I just need to set aside some time to get those released.

I love it! I just sent a whitelist request to the trace build server and if I get whitelisted I will come check this baby out :D.

looks vary neat, it has that spartian look to it, oh and it needs more daka (imo)

Work in progress, it's a shipping and trading outpost but it will have a full array of defensive turrets.

 

[Sven_The_Slayer]

I took the newly refit Groundhog to the range for some target practice. The turrets really do work best in the "Let's get the hell out of here" position. Using a Groundhog for direct assault is a poor choice, the large mining laser and dock block the turrets from being effective at attacking targets directly in front of her and the ionized drilling laser is especially poor at dealing with offenders. New features include improved cargo pod, marker lighting, jump drive, and an omni-shower as the prospectors guild was complaining about the smell of their laborers.
