Snow's Shipyard

[Snoweh]

Thought I would take the time to show off some of my better ships ^^

 

For Starters, It'll be my series of three Naval Destroyer inspired ships.

 

My Titanium Era Destroyer:

 

The first of the naval ships I actually managed to finish, I learned a lot from this build, and it's various prototypes.

 

 

 

It has excellent Forward Turret Coverage, though it's a bit lacking when it comes to shooting below and especially behind. This isn't a huge issue though, as the ship isn't so ridiculously large that it can't turn quickly (that's for my cruiser that's in the works ^^)

 

 

 

 

It also features a very sleek conning tower, that would be completely impractical in a real spaceship, and has a bad habit of being shot off.

 

 

 

 

In the read is a small hangar, only six lots if I remember correctly, not bad for a destroyer though! Sadly the rear of the ship is pretty vulnerable. Not much I could do about it though.

 

 

 

 

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

Second Up is the ship that ended up replacing the old one, a Tritum Era Destroyer, with a... yellow ore... core. Still can't remember the name of that stuff. THis is the ship I'm currently using in my playthrough.

 

I decided to use a more modern destroyer as a basis, since it's using more modern materials.

 

 

Like it's older sister, this ship comes fully featured with a hangar, however this one is twice as large. (Despite the ships being roughly the same volume)

 

 

 

 

Here'as a shot of the front decoration

 

 

 

 

and of the engine cluster

 

 

 

 

I'm really proud of this ship, and consider it my best yet. Tho, I'm a bit iffy on the color scheme ;)

 

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

I also made a small corvette, as an escort ship, which is probably about half the size. It was designed pretty much simultaneously with her bigger sister, so you might even call them twins. To the point where all I have is family photos ^^

 

 

here's a size comparison between the three

 

 

 

 

and here's a comparison between the twin's engine clusters. The corvette's, I feel, turned out particularly well. Mainly due tot he way I shaped the hull at the very beginning of the build.

 

 

 

 

That's all for now ^^ I have a miner design that's pretty radically different from them, but I'm too lazy to go get screenshots. Hope you enjoy ^^

 

-edit- I changed to imgur for hosting, hopefully the size will be more manageable now.

Hehe, not sure how to take that, but thanks ;)

I'll have to think about it. I don't have a dropbox or anything, and I'm pretty sure it makes you download software, which I don't particularly want. But I'll consider it, it makes me really happy that you like them enough to want to download it ^^

You could just upload it on this site https://filebin.net/. You dont need software or a Registration for it :)

I use google.drive for my file sharing needs! No need to download anything, and fairly easy to get into.

 

And yeah, your ships are gorgeous. Would be cool to have a poke around in them. I am in need of some battleships, and I feel inspired by your work.
