Steal? What? It's only called "taking" if the cops don't notice. (:< ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [uPDATE] Ships: - Added new Advent-Class Light Cruiser to the [CRSR] category, a ship with a different style that I'm experimenting with so it will look like shit since I still need more practice with this, and for a different crazy religious fuck cultist faction that the voice in my head tells me to create, because faction set hype. Also, other reasons. Terrible examples of photography: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks. Using shit loads of templates because I'm a lazy fuck makes that task a hell of a lot easier. :) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [uPDATE] Ships: - Added new Olympus-Class Dreadnought, a ship with zero thought put into its name because every fleet needs a dreadnought to increase their e-peen size. Badly taken screenshots: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ah, I missed that part out. Another approach I actually prefer is to give myself a set amount of resources in survival mode with the admin commands, then see what I can do with just that, since I also design my ships with playability in mind. It also helps a lot with resource management etc. Though, If I want to build something REALLY big, well... :P But I can see that if you just want to see how far your creativity can go, then creative mode is the way to go. (because "creative" is in the name, huehue)

Oh, whatever do you mean? Any representations of persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

You won't get a larger version, but you'll get the ENHANCED version. xD ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [uPDATE] Ships: - Added new HAMER-ED Enhanced Military Logistics Vehicle to the [CMRCL] category, because never enough cargo space. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So, I did the thing I fear most, slapping together a bunch of alphabets, to help some random dude on the forums. I was asked by Fox to post this here so it would be easier to find. I've also added, and might add more extras in the future. So... Here goes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [bEWARE ALL YE WHO ENTER, COLOSSAL WALL OF TEXT AHEAD] This is just my personal opinion, but it takes several elements, but mainly attitude, patience and practice. Trust me when I say that my first ship isn't anything pretty to look at either. I'm not one for writing super long essays because I'm lazy to structure them and all, so I'll just list a few tips based on my workflow right off the top of my head: General Tips: 1. Refer. It won't hurt to look to the work of others for inspiration. You don't need to make an exact carbon copy, you can just pick out simple elements in them that you find interesting, or look for common elements that make their design appealing (shape, silhouette, colour, arrangement of elements like the engines, etc.). You may not feel the effects immediately, but you'll slowly get a sense of design. EDIT 1: Recently, I've found out about Sketchfab, which is a fucking godsend. Here's a bunch of links: - https://sketchfab.com/edgecasegames (personal fav) - https://sketchfab.com/aberrator2000/collections/starships - https://sketchfab.com/saphires/collections/sci-fi-vehicles 2. Patience. This can apply to the overall process, as you won't suddenly get all the Dragon Balls get good overnight. Be prepared to take hours to work on a build, especially in your earlier builds. I can spend anywhere from 1-8 hours (usually around 2-4 hours) on a single build, just to get it both functioning well and looking good enough. You may start out slow at first, but your later builds will eventually get better and be done faster as you develop a sort of 'sense' for it and your own workflow. 3. Practice. This is pretty self explanatory. The more you do something, the better you get at it. Best thing is that you'll get better without even knowing it. This is one of my earlier ships. It looks like a bunch of random shapes slapped together, but... well, you get the idea: Give yourself some time, and you'll eventually end up being able to pull off shit like the stuff you nerdgasm over on the forums. 4. Attitude. This is probably one of the biggest factors. What we usually see is the result of someone's success, but not their journey to get there. If you see a really awesome looking ship (or any other outcome for that matter, from artwork to businesses and so on), be sure to know that the creator put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, money, food, house mortgage, reproductive fluids, his/her marriage and sacrificed their first-born child and time into it. You should DEFINITELY NOT be berating yourself for being incapable of doing such things because that just starts that vicious cycle of you being unhappy because you eat, and you eat because you're unhappy hating yourself because you can't do that thing so you hate yourself because you can't do that thing so you hate yourself because you can't do that thing... etc. And then you give up.. Instead, try to look at it like... You can do that, just not yet. Other people can do that? Well, you just let them do their thing, you work on yours. (Plus, it doesn't hurt to be a little competitive, you know, the friendly sort) Furthermore, you have to be prepared to completely scrap a project if things seem to be going nowhere. Accepting that this will inevitably happen and being ready to just burn everything down to start over will take a huge load off your mind. Trust me when I say that forcing it will more often than not just back you more into that corner you're stuck in. Though, this won't mean you've failed since you've still gained experience from it. Which you'll apply in the future anyway, whether you want to or not. Other Tips: 1. Get schooled Yes, I know... Studying, ugh. But you can take my word for this, getting the basics down can go a very, very long way. In this case, learn about design elements and design principles since you're, you know, designing ships. Keep those in mind whenever you build, and you won't even need to think about it eventually as it becomes second nature. (You don't need to think about how to use a spoon, right? You just... know. Same shit, different task.) 2. Design direction. Establishing a theme or concept to direct your design, it can be anything as simple as "triangles" or "chunky" or something as verbose as "has a lot of cheap, repetitive, copy-pasta armor plate thing-a-majigs that's actually just a cheap, lazy son-of-a-bitch way to make things look good" , will help you tremendously, such as speeding up your workflow and guiding your train of thought when designing. 3. Templates. Templates. Templates. It's not being lazy, it's a way to speed up your workflow, improve efficiency and also help maintain unity (the design principle, not some magical friendship crap) and the continuity of your certain theme. Also, do you really want to manually build every single one of those repetitive, repeating bits of your ship? (PROTIP: Select the blocks you want by using Ctrl+mmb or the other 2 methods in the builder > Ctrl+C > click the '+' at the right side of the bottom toolbar > select a blank space in the list of templates below> Ctrl+V . You've just saved a template. Additionally, holding "W" resizes a block or template uniformly whilst holding "Q" resizes them whilst maintaining the same proportions. ) 4. "Build an ugly brick, then make it look pretty." This one is more of my personal method of building than an actual set-in-stone method. I just slap a whole bunch of blocks together, in roughly about the shape I want, adjusting as I go, until I'm happy with the stats, then I start putting on the "skin" or "make up" for the ship. (REMEMBER:What matters more is the end result. People like eating sausages, not knowing how they're made.) Example: Comparison GIF of with and without panels: Mid-Stage foetus: A real life example, sort of, is if you peel off the trunk cover of a Zonda R... You get this: 5. "Observe. Obliterate. Renovate." Not in a literal sense. This should tie in with the first point from "general tips", but I decided it can also be a point on its own. As already mentioned, picking out details in your references is one thing. How to pull off those details is another. In the context of building from various references, you have to take the time to observe your reference, think about how you are going to break it down and translate it to constructing it in this game, or any other for that matter. There's already a few observable techniques here in the forums from building the exterior first, to using frames as scaffolding, but I'll use my technique in point 4 for example. For my technique, I've actually developed it by observing how the ships were modeled in Fractured Space, more specifically, Zarek and TDS vessels. I realized that there's some semblance of "realism" in their design, whereby a similar approach to how things in real life are built are applied, with systems and all that fancy, fragile techy bits on the inside, held up by some form of support structure, and surrounded by a protective covering that in most cases, also serve to hide the not-so-pretty insides. That's how I thought "I'll just do the same thing and slap pretty plates on ugly bricks". Though, this isn't THE way to develop a technique, as there's more than one way to skin a nekomimi cat. Also, there's a lot of experimentation, trial and error and FAILURE to get to this point, so be prepared. Well, that's about it. Hope it helps... Or not, it doesn't matter to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Its drawbacks, however, include a relatively short hyperspace jump range and a relatively low number of upgrade slots because screw investing in them fancy-pantsy computers for a ship its size."

Converted from a heavy mining ship that relies heavily on fighters because our engineers are too god damned lazy to design a dedicated warship, the Centurion is capable of swarming enemy formations with multiple squadrons of fighters. Captains usually outfit Centurions with BIG ASS FUCKING CANNONS long ranged, hard hitting weaponry to batter enemies from afar whilst their fighters fuck shit up tear away at them. Sporting overall impressive performance, its downsides include its maneuverability coupled with its large size, which could prove dangerous in tight asteroid and debris fields, and a limited number of upgrade slots for a ship its size."

A beautiful, deadly and much feared presence on the battlefield, the Banshee Series offers powerful shields and a strong hull coupled with extreme speed and maneuverability close to that of a corvette sized vessel. It features easily accessible systems and is by far the best designed destroyer of our company because we actually paid our engineers this time and let them sleep in bigger cages. It does, however, carry a hefty price tag if you're a worthless beggar and requires a large number of professionally trained crew to operate because peasants aren't allowed to touch advanced technology with their degenerate, neanderthal hands due to its various complex on-board systems.

The Caiman had many confusions in its classification stage because all the other companies built their destroyers too damn small due to it being almost the size of destroyers built by most other companies. However, it was ultimately classified as a heavy frigate due to its acceptance of a lower number of upgrade modules. The Caiman offers respectable maneuverability coupled with decent durability and is a popular choice to be used as escort ships and for other general purposes.

All my currently sleep deprived mind can think of right now is: "Nice ships." :P Also, anyone who can pull off using rounded bits is a win in my books.

Yep. As mentioned by Ohm, people who run and build ships in the beta branch of the game add (DTU) or (version 10.5~) or something along those lines in their title. The steam version is 10.2-something afaik. Also, here you go, I used your post as a n excuse to build a ship, made in the current steam version. I made a mistake on your constraints though, and built this ship with 100k titanium and 50k naonite. Shouldn't be too hard to convert some of the titanium systems into naonite, simply remove a single panel and you can use the transform block tool. Though, hopefully it's durable, maneuverable and visually palatable enough for your needs.

Other than the many artists out there you can find with a Google search, a bunch of things right off the top of my head that aren't here are the Imperium Galactica series, Sins of a Solar Empire and Rebel Galaxy.

Nope, I'm sticking to the stable releases, though I'm building the newer ships with thrusters in pretty easy to reach places, and hoping that when the changes hit, it wouldn't need too much tweaking to get the ships back in working order.

[uPDATE] Ships: - Added new Warthog Light Cruiser to catalog page 2, THI's initial attempts at designing a WAAAAAAAAGH!!! warship from scratch. Designed to be able to fill multiple roles. Also, its face is ugly as fuck. - Added new Caiman Heavy Frigate to catalog page 2. a ship with an identity crisis An oversized, general purpose heavy frigate.

I know a Fractured Space inspired ship when I see one. Or more accurately, a mix of a USR Colossus and USR Destroyer.

Nerdgasm intensifies...

Holy Jesus motherfucking Christ... This is the most detailed replica of this ship I've seen on the forums yet... I have half a mind to start worshiping you. You've won a whole bunch of internets, mate. And damn, ~50 hours... I can't spend more than 4-6 hours on a ship otherwise my brain just would give up.

This ship looks awesome and all, but god damn, that price tag... :P

Oh, okay. But the maneueverability did take a big hit. :/ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [uPDATE] Ships: - Added new Orca Battleship to catalog page 2, because why list only one battleship when you can have TWO!?

All I can say is... That rear end, that rounded rear end, that SMOOTH, ROUNDED rear end... How much time did it take to get it that smooth??? ._.
