techstepman Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I only found this game 2 days ago and i finally produced a ship i really like. Took a lot of tim to make and i made looking at the big cruiser in the middle of this lego spaceship fleet Obviously i love homeworld designs... Im still new in the game and dont really know what im supposed to do but building ships like this is awesome! I'l try to make one of those 360 gifs and upload.

Avitus12 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Not bad at all, Well done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroOwl Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 There is something Homeworld-ish about it. Ah, wait, you even mention this. One can certainly see Homeworld's influence from afar. Great job. Would be nice to see stats, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrax Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 "03" Cool. I enjoy the detailing on your ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techstepman Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks guys... the ship is a bit cheating so showing any stats is pointless, the entire chassis is from avorion gens batteries shields hyperspace drives ... all other structural elements are mainly from trinum the engines are ogonite I think just cause the color looked right , I focused on making it look right more than functionality even though im playing for a lot of hours with this ship its shields seem to be unable to go down ever and its really good. Turret placement is a bitch though . Im just experimenting with the ship builder. Adding the details took some time. trying to make it look like something out of homeworld like the hangars one for assault craft and one for utility ships...is there a texture pack that takes the camo away from armor pieces? Next in line is probably a new republic battleship from star wars legacy comic (the tall vertical hammerhead looking one) and then probably something like the martian corvette/frigate from "the expanse" ( a personal favorite) . Eve online is a great game but the community they have created and are promoting is not one you can have fun with casually . Too much grief and its also considered common sense in that game and its such a good game gameplay wise (probably the best spaceship game out there). Nexus the Jupiter incident was another good game with the kind of space combat I enjoy that avorion really resembles in the way that ships fly . Games like avorion really help me experience awesome space battles and I find it an interesting (a bit dumbed down though) alternative for my space combat needs. I'll upload better pics of this baby later and i'll keep posting anything that I might come up with that looks good enough. Update: Anyway I decided to start a game without cheating (will probably make a new cheaty "artistic design" next weekend) , spent lots of time mining what I could find (only iron unfortunately) and decided to build as good an iron ship as I could make. Energy available is an issue in iron ships so I had to get as many panels as I could while having everything armored in case I run into a pirate den (so far armor seems to make my ship invulnerable , is this a bug? im playing on easy and till now I haven't taken any damage . So I decided to go with the standard box design since its the more reasonable thing to do in such a low spacefaring level. Here is the Nausica during assembly. and now the finalized design before I destroy it and go for a titanium hull and a more advanced design. Will stick to homeworld designing principles since I love those ships more than anything else in sci fi . I fought a lot of aliens and pirates and I got some very nice military turret control systems! the purple kind. It messed my energy consumption on the iron ship but I think a titanium ship with generators wont really cause me any problems. Im currently checking out custom made lego spaceships designs that exist in the net. Most of them look amazing and they are a great source of inspiration for this game just like the homeworldish cruiser in my first post. This week in RL is gonna be really tough having to dedicate more time at work. I'll try to make as much progress as I can and update this thread before the weekend. http://imgur.com/a/CVMlI here is the album in imgur where I dump most of my pics from this game. also here are some more pics of the "03" cruiser where you can basicly see some things from up close the most time consuming thing is finding ways to "hide" directional thrusters between ship parts thus making it look better compared to the iron box ship. Its nice that these things are ok with being hidden and the game doesn't try to deal with them in a realistic way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrax Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Heya Tech I think you may find that Titanium is a big step up from Iron. Lighter with more HP, able to generate power, etc. With Naonite you can do shields and extend your sector jump range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Matrix Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nice ships! Also creative mode isn't cheating, that's where you wanna go to build really well designed ships to exact specs you want, save it and then play your actual game and buy it by either build a new core block from shipyard, go into that new block hit build and go into saved and apply plan of your ship you built. This way you can make it have a new name. Or, if you already like your ship name don't bother with a new block, just go into build and apply plan. This is what I do. My newest ship is 1.350 million avorion, 800k trinium. It's beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techstepman Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks for the info and the nice things you say guys...dang I seem to like this game too much. Couldn't sleep so I decided to work a bit on another homeworld ish ship im making. This one is still in assembly so it will end up being a lot more when its finished. So heres a sneak pic. I wanted to use a different way of making this one. Use some trusses in between major ship parts and some cargo containers...a more general use looking ship than the "03". Tried at giving its engines a new look. I'll put this one bridge on the right side of the ship just like a sertain veygr ship in homeworld 2. Its not finished yet and many parts are still missing but this is more or less how its gonna look like. Colors are not final. need to find a way to cover up those ugly looking trusters. I think the roundish engines look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedworm31 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 if your wanting to just cover up your trusters you could always do the .05 thick armor plate trick lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techstepman Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 if your wanting to just cover up your trusters you could always do the .05 thick armor plate trick lol. yeah I know, I just wanna find a more creative way to do that. I wanna avoid making it seem blocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedworm31 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 well theres always edging it out so it looks like it curves into it and making them into sorta side winglets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Matrix Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It took me a loong time to figure out how to really hide everything. Basically I had to make an outer shell the main body.. and have everything inside the ship.. tons of effort but I pulled it off very nicely lol.. I also cover the thruster holes with 0.05 trinium hull, lightest possible lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techstepman Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 hey guys this is the newest addition , after destroying the iron box ship I built this titanium destroyer...still sticking to homeworld design. im still in the outer rim of the galaxy but I will slowly start exploring towards the core. ... here is the refit with added naonate necessities green engines didn't go well with the previous paint so I changed it.
