Swapped out the Chergan CV's triple nacelle engine array with a beefier setup, also increased volume to enable a second upgrade slot.

I'd been thinking of making the Space Battleship Yamato for a while; never quite got started. Good job on it, same with your original design.

Hot damn, that freighter is a sweet piece of work. Love the detail you put in amidships.

I'm trying to work toward the point where I can build up my faction without depending on loot and other factions' infrastructure. What do I need to do to get a reliable source of crew, upgrades, and turrets (ideally from a turret factory, so I can properly outfit my ships) from my own stations?

Might make it sorta pointless to find colors as loot, but I don't see much of a point in that anyways

Don't I know you from From the Depths?

Seconded.

Same - It's what got me into drawing many moons ago. Chergan CV Designed and produced by its titular clan, the Chergan is a multirole utility vessel able to take on cargo transport, mining, salvage, reconnaissance, and light combat duties. Its versatile, easily-configurable design has made it the general-purpose workhorse of many Khudani clans, and modified Chergans are not uncommon among smugglers and pirates. Small, iron-tier starter vessel. XML included below. Chergan_CV.zip

I wasn't aware that the game made a distinction between classes of ship - probably by volume, but I haven't seen anything pointing to that. Maybe it has yet to be implemented? I figure, if in doubt, build the biggest, most heavily-armed monster that you can, and that's bound to be classified as such.

Thank ye kindly; been trying to draw / paint more frequently

The CB series are some absolutely gorgeous ships; very well modeled, and a unique aesthetic (I struggle to make anything not horribly generic-looking)

6 to 8 meters, but still

i'm not very good with grinding the ship, so i try to make smooth hulls like the Hiigarans since you make some awesome homeworld-like ships maybe a Vaygr assault frigate ? i love that ship xD I've been trying to hammer out such a design lately - I don't have much to show for it yet.

I don't art an awful lot nowadays, between 12-hour class days and a crippling addiction to Avorion, but here are some examples of things I do. The following are in reverse-chronological order (more recent stuff at the top). The rest of my stuff can be found here. 2017 - Khudani space fighter pilot. Insignia reads A4 Combat Group, Clan Ahrkesh. 2017 - Invested in Scott Robinson's How to Render. Had a look. Got bored. Made this instead. 2016 - Attempted to paint a space fighter 2016 - Part of a Totally-Not-WWII™ setting I've had kicking around for a while. 2016 - Someone suggested that Space Engineers ought to have its own counterpart to barbarians in Medieval Engineers. I had this to bring to the table. Unlike wolves or spiders, they try to shoot you and steal your stuff. Also they try to dismantle anything you leave lying around. 2016 - For a VN project that's been on hold for a while 2015 - I was excited for Hardware: Shipbreakers. 2015 - topical internet humor arent i funny?? 2015 - Commissioned work of someone's plane made in Garry's Mod. 2015 - Possibly related to a thing I do 2015 - Painting done without much of a reason 2015 - Summary of my experience with War Thunder 2015 - Medieval folks with pointy objects 2014 - bad guy 2014 - Character for an attempted animeish VN project that sorta lost steam after a while. 2014 - Inspired by a conversation with a friend that basically went "what if the government found out about magical-girls?". 2014 - I heard cartoon woman / historic warship hybrids were popular, so I thought I'd give it a try. 2014 - seyiku lost it 2014 - Space drill 2014 - Super-rough sketch done at work 2014 - Mandatory smoking crab 2014 - Some cyberpunk character I thought up 2014 - Part of my Totally-Not-WWII™ setting 2014 - F6F Hellcat, Commissioned work 2013 - Painting unrelated to anything 2013 - Alternative mecha-girls 2013 - haldoweem. it spoky 2013 - Wanted to make a custom faction in Cortex Command. Never got around to it. 2013 - Bits from a Totally-Not-WWII™ setting of mine. 2013 - Because bulky power-armor is cool. 2013 - it me 2013 - A painting I made of a tank I built in Garry's Mod using ACF. 2013 - Space ships, one of which was made into a 3D model by the good folks at SolCommand, and both of which have been recreated by various Space Engineers players. 2013 - ORB MEAT 2013 - Faces were never my forte. 2013 - annimays 2012 - A piece of concept art for a short-lived personal project. 2011 - For a parallax shift project in a background and layout class I took during my brief stint in art school.

Yeah, and my cockpits are extremely spacious.

Great first design! Although, you definitely went to town with the lights, lol

A favorite pastime for folks in many building game communities (especially From the Depths, Space Engineers) is to develop a sort of story to tie their builds together. Avorion seems to have a very young community, but if anyone else here has already taken to thinking about their faction lore, please dump it here because it's late and I'm bored.

Very alien-looking; I'm looking forward to what the Legion has to show in the future.

WIP: Basic iron-tier frigate. No name yet.

I'm still mucking about in the early game, since most of my time in the game is dedicated to building ships (or trying to, anyway). There are certain arrangements for turrets that I find most suitable to certain designs, but it seems like finding the right turrets is dependent on random chance. Are players able to produce turrets from stations they've built later in the game? EDIT: Belay this; I just noticed a thread that specifically states that weapons can be produced by a player-owned factory station. Sorry.

Thanks to the title, I was half expecting to see the Great White Fleet a-la Space Battleship Yamato. I like that sleek aesthetic and the clean silhouettes. Still trying to bolster my own fleet with more than just corvettes and miners.

Thank you for the clarification.

Late reply, but that's great to hear! I'm really looking forward to this feature. Do you know if designing fighters be the same as any other ship, or will they have their own unique set of blocks (such as cockpits, forward-facing weapons, pilot life-support, etc)?

This happens to me all the time, and I think it's related to adding or removing blocks in general. There are crash logs that appear in your %appdata% Roaming/Avorion folder, like this one:
