FREEDOM, a heavy attack cruiser

[Cruiser]

So yea, build this little thing. Took me roughly 3.5 hours total, not considering the time spent on gathering materials.

 

 

 

 

Im sorry for all the guns showing, but I was in a lazy mood, when I took the pictures.

 

As for information, I can tell there is a 123% shield booster in place, several xsotan artifacts and a few hyperspace range boosters/time decreasers.

 

range should be roughly 14 scr with a 180 CD as stock, but not entirely sure....

 

As for performing in battle....... Well, only your own stupidity will be able to stop you. I will lets ship stats speak for themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also to note, I consealed all 3 thruster areas... Yes, THREE!

 

And as you can see, this is a heavy ship, but it handles almost as smooth as a fighter.

 

 

 

As for materials, I will bet you all are thinking I made this out of pure avorion. Sadly, that is far from the truth.

 

 

Credits:15.652.776

 

Titanium: 111.272 - mostly used for inner compartments like crew quarters and cargospace.

 

Naonite: 89.982 - Not really sure what I used it for, but I think it was energy storage and some thrusters on the wings.

 

Trinium: 219.746 - mainly used for armor blocks to fill out gaps, as plating for my front positioned ramming block and thrusters.

 

Xanion: 848.640 - computer and hyperspace drives.

 

Ogonite: 24.023 armor and platforms for weaponry.

 

Avorion: 90.127 - Because this just looks so much better than all the other materials.

 

 

Awesome, right?

 

Oh yeah, thats right. I almost forgot to mention the fucked up firepower. Yes, I can indeed throw out nearly 600k Omicrons pr second and butthurt pretty much any kind of enemy I encounter. But the firepower is a 1 second burst with about 10 seconds CD. Not so extreme anymore, but still impressive, if you ask me...

I'm sorry I don't share your enthusiasm about this ship. It shares my own general lack of detail in my designs. Its mobility is fine for a ship that size, but I wouldn't say almost as smooth as a fighter, either. The thrust is abysmal.

 

Also, there's no room for Titanium and Naonite on such a late game design in my opinion. Avorion hull is also a waste, it's not as strong as Ogonite because you can't make armor plates out of it, it's heavier than Trinium (in case you wanted to have something mobile) and using hull to cover your ship requires more mechanics and power than using armor plates does.

 

Im sorry for all the guns showing, but I was in a lazy mood, when I took the pictures.

Save the design, create a creative galaxy, apply the plan. Takes a whole minute.

I'll explain.

 

But first, I play and build, I don't use creative to construct my ships.

 

 

Thrust: it caps regular on 1.000'ish m/s. On cold start firing booster, you reach 2.500 m/s before you consider releasing the booster. And whats the point of going from 0 to 1.000 in 2 seconds, when your enemies wont go faster than 300'ish? outrun them?

 

Titanium was used on inner construction, since I was concerned about the way it would handle. Using one of the lightest materials in the game, offered me, at the time of construction, a good template to use.

 

Naonite; main yawn thrusters. Used because I was afraid it would shine through the hull, when firing. It didn't, but i am not going to upgrade 120 thruster plates, just to remove the naonite.

 

Avorion; Already stated it was for the looks. nothing else. And besides, do you even think that an enemy armada would stand a chance against 2 or 3 of these ships? Even without the shield booster, we are talking 1 million shield power and enough firepower to make even me cry :D

I tested the ship in an ogonite sector on the inside of the barrier. an enemy armada popped up to attack the residents, I jumped to drone, told my ship to engage enemies, made popcorn and saw the fireworks. And before someone starts to emo about settings on game, it's full collision, insane setting.

 

For crew; When I built the ship, I already had the crew ready and lined up. nearly all the crew are specialists, so that's not a problem.

 

 

For design, I said i was lazy, but I also didn't want to shutdown a running unlisted server, just for some picture. (yes, some of us actually have a nice PC that runs both the stand alone server and a client, without any kind of problem).

 

And ofcourse, you are correct. It does lack severely on details. But i didn't build this for the details, I built it for its purpose. Attacking enemies and defending allies.. Had I gone for details, I would go for the high challenge, Prometheus and Daedalus from SG-1... Or even better yet, the replicator ship from the SG-1 episode, where apophis brainwashed teal'c (sorry, but I can't recall the episode name, season or episode number).

 

And you should see my first design, but seriously... I will not be responsible for your "death by laughing" :-D

 

 

Now, please don't take all this in a negative way. Im only trying to explain my choices. But as always, it is not easy to understand what another person means, when they are writing. It is almost certain, that it will be misunderstood :)

 

 

Just saying :)

No point in that, you are right, but I'm talking about actual thrust, not max speed. And with that combination of pitch, yaw and braking thrust, it's going to be annoying to dock at a station, even more so going from station to station.

Trinium is lighter.

Aah, thruster slices. Glad those are gone in beta. That said, no point in making thrusters out of naonite, Titanium or Trinium are the best for those. Same is true for all blocks that don't benefit from material type beyond weight and HP.

Aah, alright, that explains it.

 

Anyways, don't let me get you down, if you enjoy the ship then all's well and good. I'm just saying you may have overdone it a little bit with your description compared to what people are posting here on average. But do keep at it, I think everyone's first ships are nowhere near what they can do after practicing a bit.  :)
